HONEY AND BUSINESS.

Underlying conditions affecting money
and business \are improving, although
the position of trade continues to show a
certain amount of irregularity, with a
conservative attitude reported on the
part of merchants in the matter of COM
nitments for the future. Political un-
certainties naturally tend to retard
business activity. but the situation
appears to- be controlled by a spirit OF
caution rather than by one of apprehen-
sion. The actual volume OF business, how
ever. is large, owing to the Immediate
requirements of our big population, and
now that harvests are turning out bet
ter than was expected earlier in the
year a more confident feeling is develop
ing in financial circles, where the sig
nifcance of heavy crops as an influ-
ence upon Industries and foreign com
merce is more fully realized than it IS
in business quarters III general. So far
as stock market speculation is con-
cerned there apparently is little pros
pect of an immediate resumption of ac-
tive buying for public account, but IT is
encouraging TO note an expanding in
vestment inquiry in the market for
mortgage issues Prices of the best
bonds and of high grade stocks are ex-
ceedingly low.
A slightly firmer tendency is reported
in money rates. but the posi- bility of dis
tTrbance in the market is remote, as
there is no pressure for funds. either for
speculative or business purposes. More
over, the banks throughout the country
are in a generally sound condition and
are in a position to handle the autumn
harvest requirements without embar-
rassment. although the tangle in the
cotton bill of lading situation may cause
temporary inconvenience TO our bank
ers, # London financial interests persist
in their refusal TO accept these bills
without an American bank guarantee
after October 81 Fortunately, this coun-
try has the cotton and Europe will be
compelled to buy il, even If London
banks decline TO finance the movement
Exports both OF cotton and grain are
increasing. and in view Of our adverse
position in international trade in recent
months signs OF expanding shipments
of merchandise from here are especially
In the month of August
imports Of merchandise exceeded exports
to the value of $},J63. .425. while for the
eight months of the current year the eX-
cess of imports was S913. 569. against
surplus OF exports in the corresponding
period In 1909 of S60922. .219. The
strength of monetary conditions in this
country in the absence OF a favorable
trade balance and the tremendous ex-
penditures by our people abroad Is one
OF the most encouraging indications of
our great potential resources.
While gradual shrinkage in the out
put OF finished steel products is reported

quirements. until uncertainty over lhe
outcome OF present mixed politlcal CON-
ditions has been removed. Distrlputeis
and consumers of iron are working on

70 d. business at prevailing prices for
1911 delivery, relatively large ton
mage could be taken, as inquiries on con-
tracts for the new year are numerous
though held in cncck by the deadlock
over quotations. The railroads are not
active buyers of finished steel material,
but the time is not far distant when ac-
cumuating needs Will compel them TO
make more liberal purchases. Copper
trade conditions do not discourage the
expectation Of increased buying at
higher prices before the end Of the year.
At the moment the chief activity in the
metal market is supplied by tin, which
is selling at the highest price recorded
in three years.
Speculation in cotton futures is light
in volume at prices that show unimpor-
tant changes. In the spot market bet
ter inquiry from foreign and domestic
spinners has developed, while the de-
mand for cotton goods continues to show
Improvement, reflection of the latter
being found in the heavy mail orders re-
ceived by local houses. and by the pres
ence here of an unusually large number
of actual buyers. Prices are held firm
by the mills. and concerns that recently
suspended operations doubtless will not
resume on normal basis until a FUR
ther readjustrnent of prices has been
effected. Jobbers are predicting better
figures from the sellers point of view. In
the West the drygoods market is more
active than il is in the East, and, ac-
cording to the reports now coming TO
hand. the Chicago merchants believe the
;utumn season will he one of the best
ever recorded. Most farm products
show a saeging price tendency, owing in
large part to the rapid marketing of the
products, but there is no indication that
a material decline in the general cost OF
living is near at hand. Thescash de-
mand for wheat is inactive and specu-
lation in futures is dull. Within the last
seven days the worlds visible supply Of
wheat has increased more than 5000
coo bushels. while in the same time
worlds shipments have broken all rec
ords Large buyers of -four are looking
for lower prices.

OBJECTTYG TO THE REPORT.

OBJECTTNG TO THE REPORT.
Even the best behaved census must
result in many disappointments. I'm
fortunately. it is not possible for every
community to come up smiling after the
count. as did New York, with Il larger
population than had been dreamed of in
the philosophy Of its more sober minded
citizens Many towns and cities, instead
of being surprised at their own modera-
ton in estimating. are vexed at the man
ner in which the patient census emu
merators let individuals slip through
their fingers and go uncounted. Nor can
all hope for such later consolation as
came TO Middletown. \. Y. where. after
the original figures had shown a gain Of
only 191. an explanation was issued
showing that ten years ago the inmates
OF the State Hospital for the Insane
had been counted. while in 1910 they
were not. This made a difference Of
nearly two thousand in Middletown's
favor
Boston is modestly protesting that in
the official figures should be included the
suburbs which are rightfully a part of
the city. but which have not been legally
annexed There can be no question that
the suburbs of Boston. not included in
the city proper, are as much an integral
part of the municipality. logically, as
are the outlying sections annexed by less
conservative cities. or perhaps it should
be said by cities with less conservative
suburbs II is suggested that this would
make a difference Of some three quar-
ters Of d million. and place The Hub
SO far ahead of St. Louis that there
would be no question of the right to
fourth place for several hundred years
10 come. The idea is all right. except
for the fact that the figures of the gov
ernment are not made up in that man
ner, and for the present, at least, Boston
will have 10 suffer in such silence as
may be achieved by il.
Nor is Nashville. Tenn. entirely salts
fed. and the Congressman from that dis
trict will go to Washington in a few
days prepared 10 ask for some changes
i'm the figures "in order that Nashville
may be treated fairly in the coming
census report and get full credit for
"the growth in population for the Nlast
ten years We learn that the principal
request will he that the report give the
popula ton within radius of eight and
One-third miles frem the courthouse,
thereby including about One-half more
territory than is now within the cor
porate limits The ground for this con-
tention is that lin almost all other
''cities Of the same size the limits are far
broader" and to publish the figures on
the present basis would work hard
ship on Nashville. Mr.. ByFns Will doubt
less have the sympathy Of the Census
Bureau when he presents his case.
but The figures for Nashville will have to
stand.
In the mean time other figures will
come in. Chicago is holding her breath,
and the country is likewise eagerly
awaiting the returns from Cook County

PRESIDENT AROSEREY4.


The election of Or Pablo Arosemena
t. be First Designate Of Panama, and
therefore acting President of that -l~e-
public for the remainder Of the late
President Ohaldia's unexpred term,
which lasts for about two years more, is
an incident Of more than ordinary pO-
liticaI and personal interest Its pOlit-
zeal interest lies in the fact that it
happily and equitably ends situation
which was as uncalied for as IL was
unpleasant. There never was any
cause for the foolish and mischievous
suggestion that the United States meant
10 interfere with the Panaman legislat-
ure's freedom Of choice. and our gov
ernment's prompt and emphatic repudi-
alton Of it Is well followed by the elec-
ton of one Of the very men against
whom that silly utterance was assumed
10 he directed and one of the very last
men whom any informed person would
suspect Of having been put forward by
American or other alien influences.
Conspicuously and beyond challenge
Dr. Arosemena was the free choice of
the National Assembly of Panama.
There is also a peculiar personal fit
ness in this choice Or Arosemena
was thirty-five years ago the constitu-
tiUnal President Of Panama when it
was a state OF the United States of
Colombia under the system established
by Mosquera's revolution of Is61-'62:
and in October. 1870. he was forcibly

offence being his refusal TO assent 10

rHE cRLHLNALITY OF WrGGLING.

The current campaign against SNUG
cling ~ this port, the character Of
some Of the attempts 10 violate the law
and the personality Of the guilty parties
strongly suggest speculation upon the
sttitude Of the popular mind toward this
particular crime and upon the reasons
why 80 many otherwise honest people
either commit the offence themselves or
condOne il in others. There have been
recent examples Of most deliberate and
psinstakiBg smuggling by persons Of
ample means. the offence against the
customs laws generally being accom-
panied br lying or perjury. and there
i little or no Indication that these cul-
Trits feel themselves humliated by their
detection or that they are commonly re
sarded as lawbreakers with reprobation
and distrust. ON the contrary. they
seem 10 retain their self-esteem and the
general es1eem c. society.

CONTROL or THE STATE con-
NTTTEE
The reported deal into which Assem-
blyman Bennett has entered by which the
'-eld guard is to gain a state committee
man in this county is warning TO the
Progressives both regarding the tactics
Of the "Old guard and it's aims. Mr..
Bennett won AT the primaries because he
was believed 10 be a Hughes man. II
the voters Of his district had suspected
that he had an understanding with the
''Old guard" the result at the primaries
would have been different. II he should
be a party TO deal by which an "'0ld
guardsman' becomes member of the
state committee TO succeed Mr.. Harry ".
Mack he will go contrary to the wishes
oe his district The deal reported is one
of the sort regarding which the Pro-
gressives must be on their guard. Mr..
Bennett desires Ia he nominated for Con-
gress The ~old guard knowing his
ambition. is said 10 have promised him
rhe support Of enough delegates to secure
that nomination in return for his sup
porting one Of the "old guard" as meln-
ber of the state committee. This report
may do grave injustice 10 Mr.. Bennett.
but Progressives need TO be on their
guard against being. however innocently,
drawn into traps and receiving cOnces-
sions on what are minor matters TO the
'old guard" and giving To the bosses
what is vital TO their continued ascen
dancy.
In many Of the districts from which
the Progressives viii have delegates TO
the state committee such results are not
only possible but likely. Nominations
for Congress and for the state Senate
and memberships in the state committee
have always been settled by trades.
One county gives its support TO the can
didate of another county for the Con
gressional nomination in consideration Of
the other county's supporting its man for
state committeeman. while a third coun-
". perhaps. makes the deal tripartite on
the basis of securing the Senatorial NOM
ination for its favorite son Under the
representative system" Of which Mr..
Barnes is so fond. that is the only prac-
ticable way 70 adjust rival claims and
make noInina tons This being so. if the
'old guard" is bending its energies to con-
trolling the state committee. the man
ayers OF the Progressive campaign must
be on the alert TO prevent deals which
viii leave the permanent organization Of
the party in the hands of Messrs Barnes
and Woodruff.
If the victory of the progresSives over
the "old guard. which every day be
comes more certain. is 10 be final. the
Progressives must have not merely a ma
iCrity of the state convention and eject
their candidate for temporary chairman
and ma jority Of the committee on reso-
lutions 10 secure a Progressive platform,
hut they must obtain also clear work
ing ma ajority Of the state committee.
Only thus can the ground gained now be
held on the basis Of the vote by which
Eice-preSident Sherman was chosen teDl-
porary cha airman the Progressives need 10
ga in but a few votes 10 control the state
committee Ia the bargains that are
made over Congressional and Senatorial
nominations the Progressive managers
should keep their eyes upon the state
committee memberships.
