NEW YORK, April 16.—The United States has the most efficient railway system of any country in the world, according 4o George Stuart Patter son, General Solicitor of the ‘Penn - j sylvania Railroad Company. "It carries freight cheaper and pro vides a more satisfactory service to the public than any country in thA world,” he says. “We do our work upon less capital. The railroad»capitalization per mile of road of the principal nations of the world is as follows: United Kingdom (1911) $275,156 France (1910) 144,083 Prussia-Hesse (1910) 112,427 United States (1910) 62,657 "We do more work upon our capi tal. This is shown in these figures giving tons hauled per mile of line by the leading companies. (Eng land not being given because suon figures are not compiled there): France 496,939 Germany 827,400 United State’s 1,071,086 "We pay our railway labor better than any country in the world. The following table shows the average daily compensation of railway em ployees: United States $2.23 United Kingdom 1.35 Austria 89 Prussia-Hesse SI "The English Board of Trade’s of ficial reports show our cost of living (based on the cost of the standard consumption of a typical workman’s family) as being 38 per cent higher than in the United Kingdom, yet in pay our railway labor receives 60 per cent better wages. "The cost of living in the United States is 17.8 per cent higher than in Germany, yet we pay our railway labor nearly three times as much as is paid in Germany, under govern ment ownership."

Since we spend most of our wak ing hours at our daily tasks, is it not very important that we should be happy in the doing of them? The man or woman who has no heart for his or her employment cannot real ize the full joy of living. * * * There is only one thing worse than having disagreeable work, and that is having no work at all. The per son who has no work can have no recreation, no relaxation. The vil lage blacksmith is more to be en vied than the idler who may have millions. The squire who walked to get a stomach for his meat was less happy than the sturdy son of the soil who rejoined: "And I walk to get meat for my stomach.” • * * The man who brings a right atti tude to hi* job is rich ail day long, for, as a sage remarked, "Money never made any man rich, but his mind.” * * * Some people spend more energy in grumbling than in trying to get on. • • * 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 rerving 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 mard 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 "sue- 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 cepting it in qood part, he replied jauntily that there were plenty of jobs in New York. • * • “Don’t throw away dirty water until you get clean,” chided the vet eran. "There are t«n thousand peo ple in New York this night looking for work—I see some of them hang- round a gate I pass every 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 a|l the smoother for yourself and for others. PORT RECEIPTS. The following table shows receipts at the ports to-day compared with the same day last year NEW YORK. April 16. I iberal selling of May contracts was the feature <»f toe cotton market at the opening to-day. The first prices were 1 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 cab the bears were again aggressive. In addition to the liquidation « f May a few brokers Inclined to sell July, which was thought to be profit-taking. This encouraged scattered selling of r» - mote months and prices fell some 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 bears, but offerings were so read ily absorbed that offerings were abated to some extent a'nd 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 the market. The ring crowd seemed to have gone short and there was very little cot ton for sale. The advance was helped along by Lester, who purchased 10.000 hales 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 st< o'c. which Is approximately 106.- '0 bales. However, sentiment is In favor of the bears: also weather developments, and the average trader 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. 1913. | 1912. | 1911.

April 16.—Political news is less favorable. Peace in the Balkans still seems far off, the latest news reporting relations between Bul garia and Servia 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 the buying here of May by Liverpool and news of a strong bull 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 snots. The contract mar ket Is quiet, nut very steady around 12.26 for July. Sellers arc 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 40 per cent to 50 per < cut (,t the crop has been planted and i in the uplands *>ome of it is up. « * * i Some of the moat radical bears ate talking lOVfcr eotten and spinners and mills ar* cautious in buying. They fear the tariff. * o * 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. ' • * * Gotten is being planted in the lower part of Central Texas. * * • If reports received from Western Tex 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, us compared with 11,1; 0,000 acres the preceding' year. A 6.000,000-bale crop Is the pi evading es timate. * * * Mr. S. 'Pate 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, with 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 M>, 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 and 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 tlie long side, buying on all declines rather than selling.” After the call Schill, Hentz, Wellman. Royce, Beardsley. Norden, Flinn and Waters were leading buyers. Rosen berg. Watkins. Parrott, Hartcorn and Schley were principal sellers. Cone wus a heavy seller of May. which was said to be for spot people. S bent/, 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 ami 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 o be made on staple prints appear to be without foundation. Business in Bleached cottons has been of fair volume this rilonth thus far and jobbers admit that they are not supplied save for im mediate necessities.” Following are 11 a. m. bids: May 11.78, July 11.80 October 11.41, January 11.40. ♦ * * NEW ORLEANS, April 16.-Hayward & (dark: The weather map is very fa vorable It shows fair weather over the entire belt, except cloudy in North Car olina.

Nobo^v attempts to deny the obvious fact t»^ 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. Bet 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- 1 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."

The railroads have begun to receive shipments, so there will be no scarci ty of stock on account of the h’gh water. It looks as if prices will remain the same *or awhile.

Europe a Big Fake, Says Rich American NEW YORK, April 16—Here In a nutshell Is the condensation of the views on Europe held by Frederick Evanston, Ill., who arrived in port to-day on the liner Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse: Europe In general .is a grand bunk. Paris is nothing more than a side show; Venice is a place where the sanitary board should get to work at once; London is the most dismal place in the world and Monte Carlo is a gambling den that ought to be raided. “I wouldn’t go back to Europe if they gave me a free ticket. “Why, I saw women wearing clothes in Paris that were certainly the freakish products of disturbed minds. If a woman in Evanston wore such a thing she would he ridden on a rail." CHICAGO, April 16.—News from abroad on wheat this morning was the signal for general buying and early ad vances of %c to %<•, but on the upturn there were free offerings and the mar ket failed to stand up under them. The Continental demand for cash wheat in all positions, and the buying of that country late yesterday as cabled by the Eurtqieun News Agency, were tho 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 niglu. 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 from 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 taine known that the messages were misleading and that the export business was < on fined to six boat loads instead of 180 loads, as reported at the outset, many of tlie early buyers turned sellers. There were re-sales hy 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 wheal were % to "*c 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 %c higher and oats were up % to %c. Hog products were unsettled.

PATTEN COVERS WHILE THE ARMOUR CLIQUE LIQUIDATES CHICAGO, April 16.—The domestic wheat situation is looked upqp as hear, ish. One of the hull 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 VVinthrop was considered as long stuff and credited to the Armour Interests.
