TITF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1012. ATLANTA MARKETS EGGS Fresh •ountry, <an«lle«l, 17# 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.

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 Wednesday.

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%.

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. If you have anything to sell adver tise in The Sunday American.

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.

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. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. WHEAT- Hi9h ’ L ° W ' Cl0,e ' May.. .
