The bulls said that spinners have been forced for the past few years to pay higher prices and around 11 cents for new crop cotton, and It looks reasonable with the rate of con sumption. It Is said they had rather buy at this level than take chances of waiting.

Nine of every ten systems in the United States are now managed, not by stock market plungers, or by father's sons, but by hard-headed, practical men who have won their way step by step up the ladder from its very bottom. * * • Who are the greatest railroad men in America? • * * I have induced our more promi nent railway officers and such influ ential directors as James Speyer, Frank A. Vanderlip, etc., to draw up a list of the twelve name* they con sider worthy to be placed at the top of the railroad tree. These lists will be tabulated and the result of the vote will be an nounced along with photograph* and sketches of each of the “twelve great est” on an early date. • * * The honor roll, it is evident, will not include some names that have been conspicuously before the public for year*. The appraisal* of the ex perts differ from what the laymen might expect. Eastern railway presi dents do not monopolize the selec tion* by any means. Several heads of very important systems have received few votes, while, on the other hand, two or three names seldom on the public’s tongue stand far up the poll. The publication of the completed list can not fail to attract nation-wide inter est, for no similar compilation has ever been made by any newspaper. Opening. Prev. Range.

For the last two or three places the vot ing is extremely close. * * * The management of American rail roads has undergone complete trans formation within a generation. Too often a railroad was run primarily as a stock market adjunct, as a ma chine for making millions for inside ^peculators, as a pawn in a great game of gambling. ' • • • There were no Governmental com missions in those days to order 're ductions in rates, to prohibit rebat ing, to check corruption of legisla tures, to forbid the wholesale distri bution of free passes, to probe pro posed issues of new securities and stop them if deemed advisable, or to interfere with the acquisition of one road by another. The man or men who controlled a railroad did with it exactly as they pleased. If a receivership would net more millions than remaining sol vent, then a receiver was promptly appointed and the outsiders holding securities were unmercifully fleeced. • • • All that has been changed. Rail roads are now more rigtdly and more effectively regulated than any other class of buoiness in the country. They are managed, too, with a de gree of efficiency not dreamed of in the olden days, when one eye—and sometimes both eyes—were kept on the Stock Exchange ticker. * * * Our railroads are now “out of poli tics” in one sense, but are in danger of being kept “in politics” in another sense. Bodies entrusted with their regulation are not always above be ing swayed by political considera tions, the railroads complain. This is especially true in certain States. If “swatting the railroads” will win votes, then the railroads are swatted. Tactics of this kind have been car ried to dangerous and injurious lengths in more than one part of the ^country—and would be carried far ther would the courts permit. The tendency to-day is to relieve the rail roads as far as possible from State interference and place them under the supervision of the Federal body, the Interstate Commerce Commission. As on* railroad man replied in a jiffy when I asked who are the great est railroad managers in America: “The seven Interstate Commerce Commissioners, of course,” • * • But put the right man in charge of a decrepit railroad, and lo!, in a year or two he will head it toward pros perity. Hemmed in as they are by regulatory commissions, railroad presidents of the proper stamp can still work wonder*. Many of them have. The demand to-day is, not for fig ureheads, not for gilded preaidents too bent upon pleasure to have time for work, but for sternly practioal railroad operators, for men who know from hard experience every phaee of railroading. It is of such men that our list of “The Twelve Greatest Railroad Man agers in the United State*” will be List Shows General Gains—News of Dissolution Plan Is Most Potent Factor. By C. W.
