C. FORBES. "If I thought the great body of the American people were as bitter, as hostile to business as many of our legislators I would give up and re tire.” said one of the country’s fore most men of affairs, a man who has built up an important industry, a di rector in corporations of the first magnitude and the possessor of a large fortune. • 0 • “Do you think the people are as discontented and antagonistic to cap ital as is often represented—as ugly as Vice President Marshall says they are?” I was asked. * * * » What do YOU think? Are they? Is it a case of empty vessels making most noise? Or are the majority of American citizens deeply disgusted with the present order of things? Are they on the verge of revolt, as the Vice President alleges? Is widespread revolutionary sentiment cooped up in the average citizen’s breast? Is un rest in the United States worse than in other lands? Or is a {I our fretting and fidgeting, our mania for reform and regulation, our striving after in novations merely part of a world wide movement toward a fuller meas ure of democracy? * • * These are questions not easy of dogmatic answer. The Hearst publi cations reach s greater number of Americans than the publications of any other concern in the country, and experience has taught me that they somehow come nearer the heart-beats of the people than any other publica tions of wnich I have any knowledge. The readers have a flattering habit of speaking their minds, of voicing ap proval or disapproval of articles, of taking the writers into their confi dence, so to speak. In this way one is able to feel the pulse of the people. * * * Hundreds—thousands—of letters come to the business news department —not only from the East, but from the Middle West, the Far West and the South, as what is here written is printed in Hearst newspapers cover ing virtually the whole Union. Judg ing by this mass of correspondence from men and women in all ranks of life, there IS a good deal of discon tent, of dissatisfaction with existing Renditions, of bitterness against cor porations, of determination to compel reforms in many directions. * * * But of revolutionary. anarchistic sentiment there is extremely little trace. * * * Speaking broadly, a great section of the population have the conviction that most ultra-rich capitalists have done things they ought not to have dene, and by the doing of which they have taken unfair advantage of the people at large. * • * Let me give extracts from some letters received within the last week or two. * * « C. H. Burnham. 131 State Street, Boston, writes: On the strength ot the interview given out by Jacob H. Schiff just be fore Mr. Harriman died—declaring Mr. Harriman was practically a well man—1 bought Union Pacific, as at that time I believed Mr. Schiff, and it cost me a good many hundred dol lars. What do you think when Major Higglnson comes out in an interview and says there is nothing the matter with the New Haven Railroad? What is the answer, after reading what is going on before Commission er Prouty? * * * From Comma, N. Y., “A Rail roader on the Erie,” criticising my articles on railroad subjects, writes: Railroad maRigors and owners are nothing more or less than straight uo and down thieves, robbing the publL. They never tell how much they make. But anybody who becomes a railroad manager becomes a millionaire in a lew years. They find fault about giv ing a few cents extra in wages to their men. But such as President Baer, the head of the coal trust, pays $100,000 for a private car. When such things as this are done it only makes you appear ridic ulous in tlie articles you publish in favor of railroad rob bers. NEW YORK. May 9. In the absence of rain*, espet ially In the eastern belt, the cotton market opened steady, with prices at a net gain of 2 to 6 points from Thursday’s final. S|x>t people were good buyers. There was also a short covering movement by the local crowd and there was some outside buying. The selling was attributed mostly to brokers wfith Southern connection. The market quickly developed additional strength, and prices advanced 2 to 8 points from the opening level. July displayed considerable strength. This option was under heavy buying by shorts and held steady at 10 points advance over (he previous close throughout the morning session. Should there be no rains In the eastern belt, much higher prices are antici pated. Weather indication? overnight are pre dicted fair in the eastern belt, but other leading cotton States are predicted to have’unsettled showers, except Louis iana and East Texas, where the weath er will be fair The course the market took this morning made it more and more obvious that this is entirely a weather mar ket. Unfavorable advices were received from Manchester, saying that buyers have very bad reports from the other side. It seems like conditions there are becoming bad again The trade is much quieter It is said that it is impossi ble to induce mills to buy cotton. During the late forenoon the market wa* quiet but steady, with prices a shade lower than the early high point. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. LIVERPOOL.

BY W. R. LAWSON. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 9.—Serious bank ers do not look with favor upon the renewal of gold shipments from New York to Paris. All of the big international banks appear to be loaned up to the danger level, while the big new security Is sues that are coming along are bound to strain banking credit and re sources. This week four new issues came out. and several more are in preparation. Brazil’s $55,000,000. Brazil wants $55,000,000—$15,000,- 000 to be used for the repayment of treasury bills. Lever Brothers are putting out $5,000,000 new preference shares, and Baltimore Gas $3,500,000. United Fruit’s $12,000,000 four-year coupon notes have been successfully placed. Between now and the end of the month sj»ecial settlements are due which are likely to increase the de mand for money. Situation in London. Lombard Street is enjoying tem porary ease owing to end-of-the- month borrowing from the Bank of England, but large repayments will have to be made within the next few days. Further reduction in the English bank rate is not expected immedi ately. The Berlin rate is hardening, and if Boerse speculation breaks loose again, easy money may be a re mote possibility. Hitherto, while the war was in progress European stocks have been upheld by finance houses for the purpose of facilitating big loan is sues which they were preparing to make later. American Stocks Firmer. Between September, 1912, and the end of April, 1913, declines in Euro pean stocks have generally been very trifling, while American stocks suf fered heavy declines. From this it is reasoned that Amer ican securities offer a better field for a bull campaign. STOCKS By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, May 9.—Sidling pres sure was exerted upon the list at the opening of the stock market to-da.v and most of the issues sustained declines Some of the stocks which opened higher either lost all their advance or part of it. Canadian Pacific, which opened \ lower, had increased its decline to 1% within a half hour. Traders held that the passage of the Underwood tariff bill by the Bouse last night was a depressing factor. Among the other declines were Amal gamated Copper %, I’nited States Steel ommon Lehigh Valley %. Atchison *, Pennsylvania %, Chesapeake and Ohio %, Erie G. California Petroleum The specialties were the only group showing strength. American Beet Sugar advanced V Chino Copper was up G. w'hile Consolidated Gas rose %. Union Pacific opened G higher, but soon lost Its gain and declined V Southern Pacific was % higher at first, but sold off. Reading began % higher, but lost Its gain and declined. The curt) market was dull Americans in London were harel> steady.

Is Told Chicago Exchange Offers This De fense Answering Sherman Suit by Government. CHICAGO. May 9.—That a grain elevator trust, composed of five men. so nearly controls the shipments of grain Into Chicago that the call price rule was adopted in self-defense is the answer of the Board of Trade to the Government's anti-trust suit. The suit was tiled in February, charging the board with violations of the Sher man law. The answer asserts that when the call price rule, which forbids board members trading outside exchange hours except at the last board quota tion. was adopted five grain elevator owners not named In the answer— threatened to secure a gigantic mo nopoly' in grain. The rule prevented their doing it. GRAIN CHICAGO, May 9. Wheat whs strong er this morning on small offerings in the pit, coupled with some fair buying by the larger commission concerns. Cables were lower on the construc tion placed upon the Government May report, w'hich was made public in the Old World late yesterday. Northwestern receipts were larger than a year ago. while the Argentine shipments were smaller, a» was also the Argentine vis ible. Liverpool was. lower on corn, but prices at Chicago were %c to %c bet ter. Oats acted in sympathy with the other grains and ruled strong. There was a better feeling in hog prod ucts, with prices fractionally higher COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Hayden. Stone & Co.: There seems to be nothing to induce the purchase of cotton. Logan & Bryan: We think some new incentive will be required to stimulate any activity on the long side. Atwood, Violett & Co.: We believe sales for quick turns on bulges are preferable. Norden & Co.: We advise purchases of cotton on breaks. Miller & Co.: We think chances favor lower prices. Today's New York Stock Market ATLANTA MARKETS NEW YORK. May 9 —Joe Gatins credited with covering a large line of July shorts,.but he put them out again in new' crop positions above 11 cents. * * * A wire from Savannah, Ga., yesterday said that unless it rains in a few days the crop will be damaged considerably * * ♦ Troy, Ala., wired that the crop condi tions were going backward, owing to the absence of rains, and that very little cotton is up. In that section of the state cotton chopping Is generally finished about May 15. * * * Niel estimated the consumption of cotton for the current year at 14,750,000 bales. He said a crop under 15,000,000 bales would warrant higher prices. * * * Conditions of the crop in Georgia must be pretty bad if the replies re ceived by a New York firm from cor respondents in the State are true. Fol lowing is the condition of the crop in some of the large producing counties: Richland-—Crop 90 per cent planted; condition poor, no stand. Zebulon— Crop 05 per cent planted; condition bad. too dry. Chiple—Crop 75 per cent planted; condition, very little up. Mad ison—Crop 90 per cent planted; condi tion good; dry. Covington- Crop 60 per cent planted; condition fair. Lawrence- ville—Crop 80 per cent planted; condi tion 75 per cent. Jackson -Crop 75 per cent planted; condition fair. Danville- Crop 100 per cent planted; condition, dry weather has prevented its coming up; considerable complaint of the plant al ready from cool weather. Madison— Crop 75 per cent planted; condition one week backward. Winder—Crop HO per cent planted; condition 80 per cent; ground very dry and cloudy and look for very poor stand. Bartow Crop 80 per cent planted; condition very little up; very dry. Chauncey—Crop.75 per cent planted; condition scarcely any cotton up in Georgia at this date. Grantville— Crop 96 per cent planted: condition, none up and will not come until it rains. McRae—Crop 50 per cent planted; con dition, very poor stand; much to be planted; seed scarce. Lyons—Crop 60 per cent planted; condition very bad; awfully dry; 60 per cent of seed planted is lost; getting seed to replant all Is im possible here. Rochelle—Crop 98 per cent planted; condition good. * * * Liverpool cables: "American middling fair 7.22d, good middling 6.88d. middling 6.68d, low middling 6.54d, good ordinary 6.20d. ordinary 6.86d.” Dallas wires: "Some rains in the Pan handle; clear and pleasant elsewhere Oklahoma clear and cool." NEW ORLEANS, May 9. Hayward & Clark: The weather map Is favorable. It shows partly cloudy in the northern half of the belt and in the Atlantlcs; generally fair elsewhere. There was no rain except at Amarillo, in Northwest Texas Temperatures are above normal. Indications are for increasing cloudiness generally, probably unsettled weather, with scattered showers in the northern half of the belt and cooler. The New Orleans TJmes-Democrat says: "Needed good general rains have not \et fallen in the Atlantlcs, consequently the cotton contract re flected marked steadiness yesterday. Heavier spot sales in the Soutiiern mar kets seemed to suggest that actual cot ton owners were taking advantage of the contract steadiness. The new crop po sition command* concentrated attention at this particular time. The talent as a whole has been forced to admit that the early start, heralded far and wide, has been lost. "Bulls now claim that the start has dropped behind the normal. Bears hope the start is no later than the normal In any case, the burden of the proof, insofar as the start is concerned, rests on the shoulders of the big crop peo ple. This, of course, gives the moderate crop fraternity a current advantage, and they are making capital of it by ex ploiting many adverse reports from the fields, covering the necessity for replant ing due to rotting seed and to cool nights. In all of which, continued dry weather in the Atlantlcs is playing a mildly spectacular role. "It by no means follows that the size of the ultimate outturn is to be cur tailed by the loss of the eafly start. Replanted fields, encountering favorable weather, may pile up a monster yield. But every adverse development at the inception of the crop creates a liabil ity that must he liquidated by super- favorable conditions later on. Mean while, the market is working along con servative lines, and the talent Is keep ing a close watch on the May position since the fat® of the present spot month will serve as a pretty safe guide to what is to follow in July.

BEARISH BUREAU REPORT HAS LITTLE OR NO EFFECT CHICAGO, May 9.—The Inter-Ocean says "Wheat traders while putting a bear ish construction on the government re port did not take it seriously. Some traders regarded the report as having been discounted by the recent decline of 6c. Bulls said they expect to see a continued good export business on every decline, and believe the market heavily oversold and in a position to be easily rallied. "Those who were bullish on corn be lieve that there, will be no great pressure of receipts for a week or ten days, or uptil after corn planting Ih finished. It was intimated that some of the heaviest sellers of late winter were on the buying side for the post few' days. "Oats specialists are inclined to go slow on the selling side until there are more satisfactory reports in regard to the crop from Central Illinois." BAR SILVER.

Wool Trade Waits On Tariff Action Sale6 Larger Than Last Week, but Heavy Lots Are Moved Only by Cutting Prices. BOSTON, May 9 While rather more wool has changed hands the past week, manufacturers have bought only for piecing out purposes. Both dealers and manufacturers continue waiting for a settlement of the tariff uncertainty. The aggregate of sales Is swelled by an oo- isional sizable transfer at a. sacri fice. In this way, some very low prices have recently been made, there being apparently no bottom to the market. Probably the worst feature at present is the uncertainty. If the traders were assured that the Underwood bill would surely be passed by both Houses sub stantially in its present form, they could buy the new clip wools with reasonable safety.
