Overconfidence Is Dangerous and
‘Trailer’ May Go to Top Anv
Day With Flood of Ballots.
"I notice.’* remarked the veteran, “that some of these boys and girl*
in The Georgian and The American pony ton teat have rolled up big
leads over the others, and now are keeping their total about stationary.
Now. I've watched a good many contest**, and managed a few. and I want
to say right here that this is dangerous At the same time, what I have
to say ought to be encouraging to the little fellows who haven’t made
much progress as yet
Perhaps some of these tall-endere feel it is hopeless to try to catch
the leaders In their districts. No such thing Overconfidence has de
feated more contestants than any other factor Along in the middle of
the contest period some of the leaders begin to think the race Is won.
They reRt on their oars, and suddenly wake up aome day to the fact that
a trailer’ is crowding them hard. So my advice to the boys and girls at
the bottom 'Don’t be discouraged.’ and to the leaders I would say.
Never think you have enough.’ "
The ponies, by the way, are transformed. When they came to At-
coats. Now all the ahagginess
lanta few of them had shed their winter
has disappeared. They are sleek, fat and shining.

NEW YORK. May. 22 - Influenced by
bullish t*lk of too rqurh rain In the
Western belt, the cotton market opened
steady 1 to 6 points higher than last
nlght’a close. Other buying was based
on firm cables and continued light pit
offerings
The market appeared to have a good
undertone and after the call sold up 2
to 7 points from the opening quotations
The advance was helped along by trade
buying. which caused nervousness
among shorts. Shorts covered new crop
positions. October and January rallied
6 points, while December advanced 7
points. Near positions held relatively
steady, but fluctuated within a narrow
range. The spot interests bought old
ind new crop months moderately.
The weather conditions overnight
were considered favorable, except in the
Western half, where rains are not
needed. The map indicates clearing in
the Northwestern quarter, with further
rains in south and southwest Texas, the
lower Central States and generally over
'he Atlantfos.
Opinions are rather mixed, hut senti
ment is becoming more bullish.
During the forenoon the market was
quiet. Trading was light. July, how
ever, was in active demand bv spot
sources and held steady at 2 points ad
vance over the opening Later posi
tions eased off 2 to 4 points from the
“arly high point.
Continued short covering and heavy
buying by the larger spot houses dur
ing the afternoon session sent July to
11.78; October, 11.20: December. 11.21,
and January. 11.17. The entire list ag
gregated a net gain of 8 to 11 points
over the initial level. 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 gt this level than take chances of
waiting.
The belief is general that the short in
terest in the market has been eliminated
considerably, owing to their persistent
buying during the past week. Now that
the shortage has been reduced, traders
say a reaction would be natural.
At the close the market was firm
with prices showing a net gain of 13 to
'6 points from the final quotations of

DAILY COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, May 22.—Overnight
news and developments were distinctly
against the market. Excepting North
west Texas ami Oklahoma, where it was
fair, cloudy weather prevailed and rain
was general, being particularly heavy
in South and Southeast Texas.
Milan. Italy, says: “The cotton indus
try is weakened by a crisis of five years
and a syndicate of cotton spinners and
manufacturers has been formed to re
duce the output. This is to be effected
by ordering the stoppage of 600.000 spin
dles. Spinners who want to run their
mills fully will be taxed fifty centimes «
sptpdle a year.’’
Liverpool seems merely to follow New
York, but shows no individual strength.
On our side the operations in New York
directed against technical conditions are
ruling the market. Some shorts were
induced to cover and this caused a fur
ther advance this morning to 11.30 for
October.
Silver in London lower to 27 1-16:
consols unchanged; rentes. 15 lower to
85.82%.
Mill takings were 227.000 bales this'
week last year Into-sight looks to be!
around 51.000 against 79.000 bales last
year

List of Twelve Ablest, However,
Will Include Some Unknown
to Public.
By B. C. FORBES.
America can boast of the greatest
railroad men in the world. No other
country has developed such a race
of transportation giants. Nine of
every ten systems in the United
States are now managed, not by
stock market plungers, or by father’*
sons, but by hard-headed, practical
men who nave 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 names 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 photographs 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 years. The appraisals of the ex
perts differ from what the laymen
might expect. Eastern railway presi
dents do not monopolize the selec
tions 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 tne 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.
* *. *
Three or four names, including, of
course, that of James J. Hill, appear
on every list sent in. Several others
are omitted in only a few cases. Fcr
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
eften a railroad was run primarily
as a stock market adjunct, as a ma
chine for making millions for inside
speculators, 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 ot 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 rigidly and more
effectively regulated than any other
class of business 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 b.y 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 one railroad man replied in a
jiffy when ! 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 wonders. Many of them
have.
The demand to-day is, not for fig
ureheads, not for gilded presidents
too bent upon pleasure to have time
for work, but for sternly practical
railroad operators, for men who know
from hard experience every phase of
railroading.
It is of such men that our list of
“The Twelve Greatest Railroad Man
agers in the United States” will be
composed.

tise in The Sunday American. Lar

Shreveport, T>a.. wires: Showers are
most unfavorable in this section, pre
venting field work. At the same, time
grass is growing as fast as the crop
necessitating extra labor and increasing
the cost of the crop. We are already
three weeks late and a large acreage
is not w’orked out. Tf rain continues a
f§w days longer, low lands will he aban
doned.” ‘
* * *
J. M. Anderson says: "The shorts ap-
narentjv are very nervous and fear the
buying power of the bulls, with the con
stant demand coming from them for
July. Favorable weather reports seem
to have very little effect upon the mar
ket.’’

There was a good demand around the

be Saturday, and Sunday.

If the talent were to give every rumor

would now be less resistance to declines
and current excellent weather would
make the short side seem attractive
enough, but as matters stand, however,
overcrowding on the short side is the
most influential factor making for a
steady market. Meanwhile, some Liver
pool merchants complain of inability to
sell actual cotton in paying quantities,
but spot houses with German connec
tions seemed to want all the New Or
leans contracts the rings will sell, and
yesterday bid the market price for 10,000
hale blocks.

CHICAGO. May 22.—The “crop kill
ers' union” is giving the wheat Helds of
Kansas a great deal of attention and
their reports are anything but favorable
and in many instances they are am-
thing hut truthful. It would be a diffi
cult matter to say as to which of the
messages received to-day bore the ex
act crop promise in the seniors men
tioned, as the messages were conflicting
and confounding.
There was a disposition on tlie part
of the larger longs to unload wheat at
a profit, but the professionals in the pit
seemed to smell a large-sized rodient
whenever the offerings increased and
the price setback was the result. There
was a weak feeling with reactions and
declines from the top prices of % to
*o and net losses for the day of •% for
May and July and %c for September.
Ser.Cment was decidedly mixed at the
clo^o but there were more bears than
bulls.
Corn closed % to %c higher.
Oats were up % to lc with the May
the strongest of the oats list.
A great deal of the strength in the
wheat market came from the upturn in
coarse grains.
Provisions were fractionally lower all
around.

COLD. DRY WEATHER
INJURES ALL GRAINS
CHICAGO, May 22.—B. W, Snow
wires from St. Louis: “Rains w'ere
heavy and sufficient from Chicago to
Gillman. Light from Gillman to Gibson
City and. scattered showers fr>m Gibson
City to Springfield. No rain at all
south of Springfield. The big oats coun
ties got a fair wetting and the situation
improved.
“The crop, however, is already badlv
hurt. All grains and grass south of
Springfield show injury from three
weeks' cold, dry weather. Wheat did
not look well. It is thin and has lost
color and will head short. Condition
materially lower than a month ago, but
is equal to average for a series of years.
Prospects for a bumper crop is gone,
but a reasonably good yield is still pos
sible."
