Freight Fates inU.S.
Cheapest in World
Interesting Comparison by Legal Ex

Railway System.
NEW YORK,* April 16.—The United
States has the most efficient railway
system of any country in the world,
according to George Stuart Pattev-
son. General Solicitor of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company.
“It carries freight cheaper and pro
vides a more satisfactory service to
the public than any country in th*
world,” he says.
“We do our work upon less capital.
The railroad capitalization per mi'e
of road of the principal nations jf
the world is as follows:
United Kingdom (1911) $275,156
France (1910) 144,683
Prussia-Hesse (1910) 112,427
United States (1910) 62,657
“We do more work upon our capi
tal. This is shown in these figures

"The English Board of Trade's of

cent better wages.
"The cost of living in the United

EDWIN P. ANSLEY
Jr?. 1600, Decatm Department, Atlanta 3SL
To be done well, a task must be
done with a will, with relish, with
enthusiasm. The best workers are
those whose hearts are in their
work. Those who are wisely ambi
tious seldom grumble. A motto
which has been framed and hung on
many walls reads: "All things come
to those who hustle while they
wait.” The malcontent usually waits
without hustling. He wants the moon
without having to soar to get it. He
sits with folded hands instead of
speeding forrh with busy feet and
nimble fingers.
• * *
Contentment can be cultivated.
And it's a plant worth cultivating.
It can at least be said of Christian
Science that it has turned many sour
people sweet. The harder a man’s
toil the greater his need for bringing
cheerfulness to it—the merry heart
goes all the day.
* * *
Employers will promote a cheerful
worker sooner than a discontented
one. The foreman who believes in
his work, who takes pride in it, who
goes at it wholeheartedly infuses
something of his own spirit into
those serving under him. Why
should a servant who is constantly
complaining, who is eternally railing
against his boss, who finds his em
ployment a bore, be placed in com
mand of other servants? His ex
ample would bring on a strike rather
than promote success.
• * *
Of course, many jobs are near
relatives of drudgery. It is hard to
sing at them. But, if nothing else
can be reached, what’s the use of
making the worst of it? Why not
make the best of it? "What cannot
be cured must be endured.” Most
men toil and slave not solely for
their own sakes; they sow that
others—wife, mother, family—may
reap. When tackled in this spirit,
when performed from unselfish mo
tives, few tasks cannot be made at
least tolerable. No man liveth to
himself—unless he be a fool, for to
try it invites inward failure even
though It may bring outward “suc
cess.
• • •
Some of these platitudes are
prompted by an incident that oc
curred on the Brooklyn Bridge ele
vated platform in the early hours of
Saturday morning, when newspaper
men were waiting for their trains
On this platform is a veteran whose
duty it is to hoist the proper signals,
call out the destination of trains and
answer the countless questions of
passengers. Of late there has been
a second man on the platform. He
does not yet know what the public
have a right to expect of him. On
this particular morning he was
guilty of such incivility that the
veteran began to give him some
homely sound advice. Instead of ac-
ceptinq it in aood part, he replied
jauntily that there were plenty of
jobs in New York.
• * •
"Don’t throw away dirty water
until you qet clean,” chided the vet
eran. "There are ten thousand peo
ple in New York this night looking
for work—I see some of them hang-
round a gate I pass ©very morning.”
• • •
The trouble with the uncivil plat
form man, it struck me, was that he
brought a wrong attitude, a wrong
state of mind to his work. The
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
pays him to give its patrons civil
answers, but apparently he felt too
big for his job. And he sought to
vent his spleen upon the company’s
customers.
Be a little more patient, a little
more cheerful, my friend. You will
get farther and the way will be all
the smoother for yourself and for
others.
PORT RECEIPTS.
The following table shows receipts at
the ports to-day compared with the
game day last year:
NEW YORK. April 16.—l iberal selling
of May contracts was.the feature of the
cotton market at the opening to-day. !
The first prices were l to 4 points low
er. The brokers who sold May were
supposed to represent spot houses. New
crops were sold on fine weather. After
the call the bears were again aggressive.
In addition to the liquidation of May
a few brokers inclined to sell July,
which was thought to be profit-taking.
This encouraged scattered selling of re
mote months and prices fell sonic .3 to
5 points from the opening range. Con
tinued favorable weather conditions over
the belt, also good river news, coupled
with bearish sentiment, was appealing
to the boars, but offerings were so read
ily absorbed that offerings were abated
to some extent and price movement dur
ing the late forenoon was unchanged to
a shade up from the initial level,
Weekly interior movement:
A sudden buying movement developed
at noon, sending May and July to 11.88
and holding other positions relatively
firm. The rally started on buying by
Liverpool and some local operators bid
ding aggressively for May under 1he
market. The ring crowd seemed to have
gone short and there was very little cot
ton for sale. The advance was helped
along by tester, who purchased 10.000
bales of October and Wenman buying
5,000 bales of July.
It is said that the English market is
buying May here with the view of ab
sorbing 30,000 to 50.000 bales of the lo
cal str rk, which is approximately 106.-
i bales.
However, sentiment is in favor of the
bears; also weather developments, and
the average trailer anticipated lower
prices.
Advices from the Western belt and
Georgia are optimistic. In many sec
tions cotton is up. Georgia reports about
40 to 50 per cent of the planting finished.
Recent excessive rains are regarded as
propitious to the plant. Heavy rains of
this character furnish enough subsoil
moisture for the plant without forcing
the tap root to grow far into the ground
in case of a hot July or August.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was steady with prices 3 to 7 points
above the opening. Trading, however,
was light.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing irregularity, being
4 points higher to 5 points decline from
the final quotations of Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, April 16.—Political
news is less favorable. Peace in the
Balkans still seems far off. the latest
news reporting relations between Bul
garia and Servla much strained.
Liverpool came in rather easier than
expected, but spot sales are large. The
feature of our opening was the pur
chase of about 5,000 bales of May cred
ited to the Liverpool house which
bought most of the spots here yester
day. This, of course, intimidated sell
ers and the market was easily held.
There is much uncertainty and confusion
of views as to what will be the next
move in the summer positions.
New York says May will go to a larger
discount under July, whereas ihe buying
here of May by Liverpool and news of
a strong hull combination in Liver
pool suggest bullish operations
The spot market is dull to-day. The
demand seems to depend altogether on
the Liverpool house which bought yes
terday and was a heavy buyer of May
here this morning, others not seeming
Interested in spots. The contract mar
ket is quiet, but very steady around
12.26 for July. Sellers are scarce, show
ing that the weight of opinion is in fa
vor of bullish moves.
RANGE NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.
NEW YORK. April 16. -Advices from
Georgia are that 49 per cent to 60 per
cent of the crop has been planted and
in the uplands some of it is up.

Austin. Texas, wires: "Good weather
during the latter part of March and
first few days of this month has enabled
the farmers all over the State to make
good headway preparing the land for
planting.”
* * *
Cotton is bring planted in the lower
part of Central Texas.
* ¥ *
If reports received from Western Tfex-
as are true there will be an enormous
Increase in acreage in that region this
season.
•» * *
The cotton acreage in Texas last year
was 10.972,000 “acres, as compared with
1 1,150,000 acres the preceding year. A
000-bale crop is the prevailing es
timate.
* * *
Mr. S. Tate says: "My views are
about the same as for last few days,
but with the narrowness of the market
and the general pessimistic feeling, it is
difficult to get any advance, and equally
difficult to get decline.
"The local crowd .would be glad to
drive the market down with the idea of
making a better buying basis, hoping to
stimulate a general increase in public
business, but even with the assistance
of the claimed threatening destruction
of business on account of tariff changes
they fail to produce the expected
deedine. With New Orleans market
higher than New York and Liverpool
about 130 points higher than New York,
•vith every indication that the foreign
markets must have more cotton, I fail
to see where the encouragement for a
decline is coming from short of very
strong evidence of a crop in excess of
<‘.000 bales from this yea*.
"The low on July was reached on Oc
tober 10, when July sold at 10.66, be
tween then and December 16, during the
most active period of the harvesting,
July advanced about 230 points to 12.95.
Since that time it has declined 121
points under the high of last December
ami 108 points over the low level of
last. October.
"The pendulum in its swing lias grad
ually narrowed to an average in differ
ence of about a little more than 100
points, and all things considered and
being some distant from that assurance
of a big crop I beg to favor working to
the long side, buying on all declines
rather than selling."
After tlie call Schill. Hentz, Wellman,
Royce, Beardsley, Norden, Flinn and
Waters were leading buyers. Rosen
berg, Watkins, Parrott, Hartcorn and
Schley were principal sellers. Cone was
a heavy seller of May, which was said
to be for spot people. Sdientz was buy
ing May and selling July. Outside of
May the trading was light: weather and
river news favorable. Sentiment bearish
and lower prices predicted.
The Journal of Commerce says: "Many
of the crop reports received were of a
very cheerful tenor, speaking of good
stands and a favorable outlook. Fertil
izers are being used extensively; inten
sive farming is, to all appearances, be
coming more general, and with cotton
on the eve of the planting season at
12%c a pound, very many people think
it as certain as the law* of cause and
effect that a big acreage will be plant
ed.
"Reports current of price concessions
to be made on staple prints appear to
be Without foundation. Business in
bleached cottons has been of fair volume
this month thus far and jobbers admit
that they are not supplied save for im
mediate necessities."

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Because cool weather is un
doubtedly delaying the average new crop
start, and because when merchants are
forced to buy old crop cotton, they find
they must pay very full prices for the
supplies they need, the cotton market
talent exhibits less than a keen desire
to sell contracts further below a parity
with spots. Nobody attempts to deny
the obvious fact that clear, dry weather
over most of the belt during some days
past has promoted farm work, nor that
the land is now in a good state of
preparation. But low temperatures re
tard germination, therefore farmers are
delaying actual planting operations in
some sections. For this reason the New
Orleans talent seems to prefer straddle
sales of the new crop and purchases of
the old under the belief that prospective
delay In the availability of new crop sup
plies will boost the value of the rem
nant of the crop. On the other hand,
some interests in New York have been
advising the sale of July and the pur
chase of October; just why is not quite
clear, since the difference between New
York May and Liverpool May-June was
as much as 136 points yesterday, and
there is some reason to believe that Liv
erpool merchants intend taking up cot
ton on New York contracts next month."

SNOW REPORTS ON HESSIAN FLY.
CHICAGO, April 16—B. W. Snow says.
"My advices show a little evidence of
the presence of Hessian fly in a few
counties in eastern and southeastern
Kansas and indications of its presence
in scattered localities in southern Illinois
and Indiana. The pest is present every
year in a scattered way whenever win
ter wheat is grown and this year is no
exception. Reports of fly discovery may
be expected at intervals during the sea
son. There is nothing in sight, how
ever, to indicate anything other than a
normal situation so far.

CHICAGO, April 16.—News from
abroad on wheat this morning was the
signal for general buying and early ad
vances of %<• to %t\ hut on the upturn
there were free offerings and the mar
ket failed to stand up tinder them. The
Continental demand for cash wheat in
all positions, and the buying of that
country late yesterday as cabled by the
European- News Agency, were the prin
cipal bull helps. Northwestern receipts,
while small, exceeded those of a year
ago. Winnipeg receipts were larger than
a year ago.
Corn was better at the start, but it
sold off to ruling rates of last night.
Liverpool reported the weakness there
was based on the increased offerings by
America and better weather for harvest
ing in the Argentine Republic.
Oats were a small fraction better.
Hog products sympathized with the
decline in the price of hogs at the yards,
as the demand In the pit was smaller
than the offerings.
The many misleading messages re
ceived front Baltimore to-day as to the
amount of export trade In wheat there
caused the average speculator to load
up with wheat early, and when it be
came known that the messages were
misleading and that the export business
was confined to six boat loads instead
I of 180 loads, as reported at the outset,
many of the early buyers turned sellers.
There were re-sales by exporters of
100,000 bushels and 80,000 bushels (two
lots) which caused the mistake—if it
was a mistake. There was another
change in sentiment before the closing
of the day’s session when shorts entered
the market and absorbed the offerings
in a hurry. Resting spots for wheat
were % to %r higher and the market
was pretty well sustained up to the
close. Cash sales of wheat at Chicago
amounted to 52,000 bushels: corn 200,000
bushels, and oats 95,000 bushels.
Corn closed % to Vic higher and oats
were up % to %c.
Hog products were unsettled.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Norman, Mayer & Co.: Advise selling
on any advance.
Thompson, Towle & Co.: The favora
ble weather which is predicted to con
tinue encouraged further short selling
particularly in the old crop positions,
and n seems quite possible (hat the
old and new' crop positions will come
still closer together.
Logan & Bryan: It looks probable
that a recovery from present levels will
ensue as a consequence more of techni
cal conditions than of cron news.
Sternborger, Sinn & Co.: Values

PATTEN COVERS WHILE THE
ARMOUR CLIQUE LIQUIDATES
CHICAGO. April 16.—The domestic
wheat situation is looked upon as bear
ish. One of the bull houses said there
seemed to be nothing but foreign
strength and export business to turn the
market in the face of the glowing crop
reports and the export business is slow
in developing. It was the gossip of the
trade in corn and oats yesterday that
Patten had covered 500,000 bushels of
corn and oats, and some placed the fig
ures higher. The principal selling was
v' the Armour Interests. The latter has
been heavily long of corn and oats and
has been selling steadily for several
days.
Sales of 1,000,000 bushels of July corn
In the last half hour by Harris WInthrop
was considered as long stuff and credited
to the Armour interests.
Bulls figure that with navigation on
the lakes to open either to-day or to
morrow there will be a heavy reduction
in stock*
terprise there are certain prmcip
tkat, like tke red tkread running
tkrougk all tke cordage of tke Brit-
isk Navy, pervade every trasaction.
Tkey make skort work of doukt-
ful proposition*, and like tke spirit
level, point out tkat wkick is im
perfect or fallacious.

is the first consideration, the “red
