ROCKEFELLER HOLDS
SOCIETY is A SHAM
John D., Jr., Declares He Can't Afford to Be Mixed Up
With 1t, and Sounds Strong Warning
Against Borrowers.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-John D Rookie
Teller, jr, delivered a harsh criticism Of
society in "a talk before the Young Peo-
pies Society OF the Fifth Avenue sap
list Church.
Discussing tie subject of Friendship. -
iIr. Rockefeller said that many aspi-
rants for social preferment seek out in
HUential friends as the means Of accom-
plisEing their desire.
THAT is reprehensiblc,H declared the
young millionaire. Tine seeking Of
friendship TO gain any personal advant-
age is wrong. What do You and ! care
for society. anyhow? What does it
amount to- Nothing but a sham
1.-THE so-eaIled society people don't do
much else than sit around waiting for
time to go by. It's foolishness, and YOU
and / cannot afford to get mixed up
in it"
Mr. Rockefeller said that many mis-
guided people think the true test Of
friendship IS whether the friend viii lend
money
Don you ever believe it, lie i'm
plored. There WIS never a greater mis-
take If you have any friendship for
people don't spoil it by trying to borrow
money from them. It's all right to get
q little help at times, but the practice
Of borrowing money is a most dangerous
one II is the suTest way TO cause the
breaking OF friendship. Besides that. it

less Indebtedness.
1t matters nothing to me if the
friend L have IS rich or poor 50 long
is he Is man Of character. If he is
not upright, honest, faithful. and true
to the principles OF Square-fiealing. i
no not want him for q friend.
In our business lives we must OBJ
serve the rights OF those we are deal
ing with. a friend of mine told me that
when business proposition was put to
him he always considered first whether
if was square. then whether il was safe.
and finally II IL would pay.
Many business men nowadays leave
out the question Of squarencss alto
getheT. OF. if they do consider II. they
put IL last
The best way to treat our friends
Is according TO the Golden Rule. If We
stick to that our lives can't be far
from right.

Rockefeller was right about the vicious

THE STOCK MARKET

Manner In which Operations Were Conduct ed Gave Ground for Assumpfioa That Speculation Caused the

New York. Oct. 2s.-The stock market today fell back into the condition which ex- unexpected advance in the Bank of Eng land rate. The manner in which opera- tions were conducted gave ground for the intentional restraint was exercised on the speculation. It was assumed that the banking and financial world generally would be glad to restricted speculative ectlv- ity. but with values maintained or protect ed from any violent reaction. There was market. This was regarded as a natural and the extent t to s' which it had run.

 The treasury plan was so far a disap- pointment to speculative expectations. But the effect of this was neutralized by the underst9ndtng that other measures of relief were considered inopportune by New York bankers owing to the prospect that any considerable easing of the New York money market would facilitate demand to with draw gold for London account. The Lon- don money market was understood to be the real point of strain and the prospect or relief for that point from other sources than New York was believed to be more likely in the absence of too sudden a relax ation in conditions here.
 The definite denial of yesterdays rumors of large loan by the Bank of France to the Bank of England was for this reason. taken more account of than the difference of the treasury relief from yesterdays sup positions regarding 1t.

It Is probable that lower range of values would have been ex- perienced. but for the issuing of tho census ginners' report on quantity of cotton ginned to October 18th, compared with last year and year before last as 100000 was cir- cuated as the probable amount expected. or about the same as one year ago, but 1t is hardly possible that the gins could have year between September 18th. and October 18th. or say about 2.900.o00 vs. 2.60o.00 if the unfavorable weather during the past month and lateness of the crop be taken into consideration. As matter of fact. traders do not expect as much Rinned during the said period one year ago. the general opinion being that 4500.000 will about represent general expectations. and 1t is probable that 4.7o0.Oo0 or more which would require as much ginned since the last census report as was ginned last year
 Every conceivable idea Is being resorted to in an effort to make the crop appear smaller than conditions would indicate The average ginnings to October 18th Of past four years was about 47 per cent. of the total crop. exclusive of linters, and on such a basis a yield of about TO- 750. 900 has been worked out, and allowing 42 per cent. as having been ginned based on the possibil- ity of 5000, 900 bales having been ginned to October 18th. crop of about 12.000.O00 bales would be indicated.
