"The truth of the matter is that

As to the charge which is being

ridiculous. If a tariff were framed
to favor the coarser numbers which
the Southern mills spin, isn’t it rea

grades, and that the bill Would end
by defeating Its object?

AWAIT REPORT
France and Germany are Forcing
National Banks to Accumulate
Tremendous Reserve.
By B. C. FOFTBEIS.
President Wilson has nothing but
contempt for bankers—he scorned the
since he wanted Only honest col
leagues—and now the Treasury De
partment is obediently snapping its
fingers at experienced bankers who
are raising warnings that the bank
ing situation needs careful handling.
Secretary McAdoo’s sudden and in
explicable decision to scatter $10,000.-
000 Government cash among the na
tional banks is roundly condemned by
bankers, who declare that such ac
tion is simply an incentive to credit
inflation already alarming, and that
the Treasury may have need for a
distributable surplus before the year
ends.
The Bank of France on Monday
paid a premium of $10,000 to force
$2,000,000 American gold out of this
country and into its vaults. It has
taken $25,000,000 of our gold since
New Year.
Germany has given orders that the
Reichsbank's stock of gold must be
increased at any cost. The institu
tion has piled up fully $250,000,000
Market Steady on Firm Cables
and Professional Support, but
Sentiment Is Against It.
NEW YORK, May 8 There was good
buying at the opening of the cotton mar
ket to-day and first prices were I to 8
points better than last night's dose
The market was at first strengthened
on continental buying, but later weak
ened on heavy selling, inspired chiefly
by reported rains in the eastern and
central belt, where rains are badly
needed. Prices immediately fell 6 t»
points from •Dio opening level and re
ceived very nttle support. The bulls,
ery nttJe supf
however, predicted further upturns in
ease rains are not as good as first re-
poftfld •
Further weakness in the spot situation
also was a factor in depressing prices.
The weakness in the actual came in the
face of reports that the Carolina mills
were asking for cotton. The report was
given very little attention and fell flat
on the market.
The weather map was very favorable
overnight and the detailed Government
records show pretty good rains in the
Eastern States. Indications arc for fair,
warmer to showery weather over the
larger part of the belt for the next 48
hours.
The week-end figures to-morrow are
expected to he unfavorable for compari
son. Mill takings to-morrow will be
compared with 317.000 hales for the same
week last year.
The market during the afternoon ses-
sion was rather quiet with the trading
attributed mainly to professionals. Wall
Street continued to sell, also the ring
scalpers. Price movement was narrow
and practically unchanged from the low
level.
At the close the market was steady
with prices net unchanged to 6 points
higher than the Anal quotations of
Wednesday.

Alexander, of the Bank of Commerce,
in a special cable to The Georgian
from London: "It is almost impos
sible to obtain gold in France at pres
ent. while there is an equal scarcity
in Germany." The conditions are sjm-
liar to those ruling in America dur
ing the panic of 1907 and other mem
orable financial crises. Gold is at a
premium, yet/both France and Ger
many are adding to their bank sur
pluses regardless of cost, so anxious
are they to pile up the metal.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
LIVRRPOL, May 8.—This market was
due to open unchanged to %d higher,
but opened steady, at a net gain of 2%
to 3 points on near positions and 3%
to 4 points higher on distant months.
At 12:15 p. m., the market was quiet
and steady, 2 to 3 points.
At the close the market was very
steady with prices at a net gain of 2 to
4 points from the Anal quotations of
Wednesday.
Spot cotton 4 points higher; mid
dling G.66d; sales. 7,050 bales, includ
ing 6,400 American bales; Imports 1.000
bales, none American.
Port receipts are To-day estimated at
7,000 bales, as compared with 13.950
last week and 5,313 bales for the «ame
week last year, against 9,432 bales for
the corresponding week in 1911.
Futures opened steady.
At home, how goes it? Our Na
tional banks have expanded loans
some $300,000,000 within the last
twelve months, but instead of justi
fying this by strengthening their re
serve they have lost more than $50,-
000,000 cash. In other words, loans
are inflated one million dollars every
business day, despite a shrinkage in
cash of a million dollars every week.
This alarming process is still going
on—merrily, so far, but tragedy is
courted. New York, be it said, is tak
ing no part in the inflationary move
ment, for it is aware of the danger
involved.

How does the Treasury Department
act in face of threatened trouble dur
ing the autumn? Does it buttress its
position so as to be able to meet emer
gencies? No. It incites further loan
expansion by taking $10,000,000 from
the nation’s vaults and scattering it
among hundreds of banks—this, too,
without any known suggestion from
the banks that Treasury funds should
be depleted. Gold that will do posi
tive harm now might have been kept
in readiness to stem trouble later.

says: "Preponderance of professional

sequently the cotton market is called
by the majority ‘right’ when it de
clines. and ‘wrong’ when it advances.
“For this reason the loudest explana
tions of yesterday’s advance were that
the manipulator was again at work;
that the new crop is doing as well as

temperatures are more favorable than

ishness of the general situation is being
overshadowed by other things The hull

Bankers call this deplorable. But,
then, bankers are knaves, according
to President Wilson and his advisers.
Were they as anxious to "put the
Administration in a hole" as is some
times alleged, ’these bankers would
encourage the complete emptying of
the Treasury now, thereby destroying
the only weapon available to fight the
real trouble that is feared when rec
ord-breaking crops have to be har
vested and marketed. Knowledge that
the Government’s reserve had all been
used—misused—to foster credit ex
pansion would effectively incite disas
ter should emergencies arise.
Are bankers aoting the part of un
scrupulous schemers when they urge
that the United States Treasury De
partment should conserve its re
sources at present, that the depart
ment should look across the Atlantic
and study what is going on there;
that it should take note of the arbi
trary withdrawal of millions of gold
from America to Europe when ex
change quotations do not justify such
action, and that the Secretary of the
Treasury should seek counsel from
those who have spent their lives in
diagnosing domestic and interna
tional monetary developments?

CHICAGO, May 8 -Wheat was firmer
this morning on the reported export
takings of 640,000 bushels of wheat for
export yesterday, coupled w$th the
smaller offerings in the pit and the
strength shown at Liverpool, Northwest
ern receipts were considerably in excess
of a year ago. but smaller than a week
ago, and Winnipeg receipts were smaller
than a year ago.
Corn was a trifle lower on increased
offerings in the pit. but tbis was only
for deferred months.
Oats showed but little change, yet the
feeling was easier.
Provisions were 2ft to 7%c lower.
Wheat closed with losses of %0%c.
There was considerable grain sold on
the belief that the Government crop
report would be a bearish document.
The condition on May 1 was placed at
91.9 for winter wheat against 79.7 a
year ago. The indicated yield a year
ago was 370.714.000 bushels, against
513.000,000 bushels this year.
The corn market was %©%c higher
and oats were up a small fraction for
the nearby months but a shade lower
for the deferred. There were many ru
mors of a big export business at the
seaboard.
Provisions were without any marked
change.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW , ORLEANS, May 8.—Liverpool
was good on futures on the buying of
new crops by the continent, but spot
sales dropped to a total of 7.000 bales, at
1 points higher quotations. A cable
said: "Have no decided opinion, but
rather against the market, although
purchases are being made by the conti
nent at present prices of winter
months."
European government securities are
higher and there was no political news.
Political affairs now seem to be in a
waiting attitude. There is undoubtedly
more optimism, which explains the bet
ter European demand for new crops at
•his level.
A Memphis wire said spots were sell
ing freely and considerably under quo
tations. Our market opened a few
points higher on tin* good Liverpool and
strength in New York, but soon eased
on private rain reports from the East.
Prospects of an unfavorable visible sup
ply statement to-morrow also affected
support. There is a suspicion, however
of professional intentions in New York
against the technical condition, the
market having supposedly become over
sold during the late period of menacing
polities. Liverpool forwardings for the
week are not even half as large as those
**f last year, which points to a bearish
visible statement to-morrow.
Owing to the coming Whitsuntide
holidays in England, takings will he
small next week also, and visible com
parisons, consequently, unfavorable.

Co.: “Wheat: We look for a steady mar

any pressure from the country in the
way of hedging sales, and look for a
falling off in receipts shortly.

ing friends all the time, and there Is
more or less buying of the deferred fu
tures on a semi-Investment basis.
“Provisions: The market continues to

less than the area planted last au
tumn. but 16.4 per cent (4,367,000
acres) more than the area harvested
last year, viz: 26,571,000 acres.
The average condition of winter

past ten years on May 1.

By C. W. STORM.
NEW YORK, May 8.—A heavy tone
prevailed in the stock market at the
opening to-day and most issues showed
declines. Southern Pacific was % low T er
at the outset, but made a partial re
covery later. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
was the strongest on the list, rising one
point to 90%. This buying was induced
by a belief that the dividend rate would
be increased at the next meeting of the
directors.
New York Central, which broke
through par yesterday for the second
time since 1908, opened at 100% for a
loss of %.
American Can showed a slight gain
on dividend prospects. New York, New'
Haven atj<l Hartford, which is now
under fire in an interstate commerce
investigation, made a slight fractional
gain.
Among the losses were United States
Rubber common %; United States Steel
common %; Union Pacific %; Chesa
peake and Ohio %, and Amalgamated
Copper %.
The curb was quiet.
Americans in London were colorless.
A firmer tone prevailed after the first
half hour, and most of the list made
gains. Atchison, Reading and St. Paul
made moderate advances. Copper was
up % at 75%% New York, New Haven
and Hartford, up %; Lehigh Valley, up
% at 155. Steel remained firm at 60%.
Call money loaned at 2%.
Trading was quiet in the last hour.
Canadian Pacific fell below 241 for a
loss of 1% from the mid-day level, but
fractional gains were scored by Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Amalga
mated Copper. Lehigh Valley shaded.
The market closed steady. Govern-
ments l unchanged; other boads firm.

Taft Ready to See
Free Trade Tested
‘Let’s Try It Out/ Former President
Says in Address to Yale
Students.
NEW HAVEN, CONN., May 8.—"If
we are to have free trade, let’s have
it/’ said William H. Taft in the sec
ond- of his Yaie lectures on modern
government this afternoon. "Let the
party that favors it vote for it. Let’s
try it.’’
His statement was incidental to a
discussion of the necessity of the po
litical party to efficient legislation.
"The three objects of the new
school of political thinkers who style
themselves Progressives 1 .’’ said the
former President, “are to prevent cor
ruption of government by corpora
tion interests, to create an equality
of opportunity for all men, and to
equalize property holdings to some
degree. Persons who do not concur
with this school in the exact method
of arriving at the true purpose of
popular government, which is to make
for the happiness of all the people,
are called reactionaries.
“Those of us who fall in this cate
gory must be content, but we must
never cease fighting.”
