At the same time, what 1 have to say ought to be encouraging to the little fellows who haven’t made r niuch progress as yet. « ‘‘Perhaps some of these tail-ender* feel it is hopeless to try to catch the leaders in their districts. No such thing. Overconfidence has dc- jf.* ated more contestants than any other factor Along In the middle of vie contest period some of the leaders begin to think the race is won. They rest on their oars, and suddenly wake up same day to the fact Jhat •trailer’ Is crowding them hard. So my advice to the boys and girls at the bottom is. ‘Don’t be discouraged,’ and to the leaders I would say, •Never think you have enough.’ I The ponies, by the way, are transformed. When they came to At lanta few of them had shed their winter coats. Now all the shagginess flat disappeared. They are sleek, fat and shining “I have read your ‘ad’ and am answering It. so please send me a p«*ny.” writes one little girl. Such faith in The Georgian and The Ameri can ought to be rewarded, but we had to tell the little girl that ehe must enter the race If she wants one of the Shetlands.

May 22.—Influenced by bullish talk of too much rain in the Western belt, the cotton market opened steady 1 to 6 points higher than last night’s 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 ever y ten systems in the United 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 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 and 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 Gentral States and generally over the Atlantics. Opinions are rather mixed, but 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 oftening. Later posi tions eased off 2 to 4 points from the early 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 H 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 at 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.

May 22. -Overnight news and developments were distinctly against the market Excepting North west Texas and 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- dies. Spinners who want to run their mills fully will be taxed fifty centimes a spindle 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.

Vanderbp. 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- j 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 the |5oll. 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. 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 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 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 't 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 poll 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 bpen car ried to dangerous and injurious lengths in more than one part of the country—and would b« 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 As one 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 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. t If you have anything to sell adver- of Dissolution Plan Is Most Potent Factor.

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 tl)e rings will sell, and yesterday hid the market price for 10,000 bale blocks. “In this connection, it is interesting to note that the cables have reported the Bremen stock earmarked for spinners. In the last day or two some cotton mar ket bulls have turned hears, and some bears have turned bulls. Such shifting of position is strictly in line with other great markets, the wheat, the coffee and the securities markets now reflecting conflicting sentiment, which carries one up and another down, each working or. the bias and at cross purposes with the others. “In the case of cotton the sure shot promise that shipments out of New York stock clearances for Liverpool and Bom bay during the near future are expected to be heavy, will reduce New York's protective stock to small proportions by July, together with the assertion that European mill stocks are decreasing very rapidly as a result of small takings and heavy consumption, are undoubt edly promoting the doctrine of caution which those bears who are already short seem ready to accept.” PROFIT-TIKE Corn and Oats Go Up, but Selling Is of Better Class Than the Buying.
