Baker has stuck. and has become one
of the great stars of the day through
sheer gameness. He has become a
fairly good fielder under the careful
coaching of Connie Mack and he
has developed into one of the most
dangerous batsmen of his time. Baker
is most awkward in covering the bag
to get man stealing. He blocks up
the whole patch and squats down so
that a man must go around him or
through him. Snodgrass tried the lat

is NATURAL HITTER
AS batsman, I am most interested
in Baker. He is natural hitter,
with a great eye. They tell me that
he is good at anything that requires
good eve. He is a crack shot and a
good pool player He is also what is
known as a free swinger-there are
few in basebali-and is one of the
hardest men to fool that I ever faced
He is death on ball close in to him,
being a natural right field hitter and
is better against right handed pitch
ers than southpaws, because he bats
left handed. Not only is he an accu-
rate hitter, but he makes many of his
punches count for extra bases, which
is dangerous in any batsman. A
fellow of this sort is liable to break up
and scatter a game for you any time.

Fear of Tax on Futures

Crop News To Be Heard

NEW ORLEANS, July 12.-With
the sword Of Damocles hanging over
the cotton market, it is hard to
arouse speculation in the staple, even
though a somewhat bulIish environ
ment has developed recently. Since
the Government reports were issued
July Liverpool has shown distinct
~ bullish attitude, neither the con-
ditlon hgures nor the acreage being
considered of a bearish character by
European cotton trade.
Taking advantage of the pessimistic
Ieellng created by the proposition to
tax futures out of existence, bearish
interests, here and in New York, sold
the market rather aggressively in the
early part of the week, depressing
contract prices to the level of 1l.4O
FOR October delivery. The strength
manifested by Liverpool, where a
good spot demand has been in evil
dence, sales totalling 10000 bales al
most every day. checked the declin-
ing tendency, and started shorts to
covering.
Anticipation of possible damage to
the crop from the high temperatures
now prevailing in Texas, together
with numerous reports of the boil
weevil ravaging the crop in the west
ern and central belt, induced some
fresh buying. With bulls bidding for
cotton and shorts inclined to cover,
the market has had a substantial re-
action upward from the low level es-

u. S. LEADS IN THE VALUE
OF EXPORTS TO GERMANY

The United States heads the list
of countries as to the value of the
exports to Germany in 1912. Russia
ranks second, Great Britain third, and
Austria Hungary fourth. The United
Kingdom still is the best customer
for German products, Austria Hun
gary coming next, the United States
third, France fourth, and Russia
fifth.
If the value of the total trade be-
tween the countries during 1912 is
considered, the United States is first
with $543, 600; Russia second, with
1925, 400, 900; the United Kingdom
third, with S477,OO0, 900; Austria Hun
gary fourth, with $443, 800. 900; and
France fifth, with $295,50O 600.
The decrease in the value of the re-
ceipts from Russia was due prin-
cipally 10 smaller grain shipments
from that country; and the greater
imports from the United States, to
increased shipments of wheat, copper

The July position, strange to say,
has shown relative weakness. Export
ers have had practically no orders,
and even if they had them would find
1t difficult matter to secure the
grades sought after by the trade on
the other side.
Except for reports as 10 damage
by boil weevil in Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi, crop accounts con-
tinue of a satisfactory character. In
fact, the reports as to the progress
now being made by the crop could
hardly be more encouraging.
1t is believed by some that crop
prospects are now in the zenith, and
for this reason there is an inclination
to buy the market on declines. the
argument being made that the critical
crop period is now at hand, and that
any change in the condition is certain
to be for the worse. The alarmist
element in the market is trying to
make capital out of the high tenn
peratures reported in Texas within
the last few days, These tempera-
lures have not been abnormally high

Economist Explains
Shortage of Money
World Produces 100000, 900 Of
Capital YearIy-sometlmes Burns
Up or Demands More.

Lately II has been said frequently
that demand Tor capital is in excess
of supply" Just what this means
was explained by NJ, Leroy Beaulieu,
the eminent French economist, who
wrote:
THE growing Industrial States,
particularly the new countries, are
at this moment demanding more
capital than the whole world has ac-
eumulated recently or is accumulat-
ing to-day From this fact follow
two consequences: First, that the
users of this capital have to pay
more for it in the shape of a higher
interest rate; second, that they will
be compelled TO postpone, or extend
for several years, many of the enter
prises on which they had decided and
for which they had already made
preparations
The civilized world, so far as il
can be reckoned up, provides S2,400,
100000 in available capital annually
for investment in securities; it is
asked in 1906 to provide $3,250, 000, 600.
There was a demand. in America at
any rate, for even more than it's part
of the above estimate to be provided
during 1907 But the world has not
got 1t; therefore it can not provide it,
add to this the effect of catastro-
Plies, such as the San Francisco and
Valparaiso earthquakes. which cost
something like $200000,00O, and you
will have a perfectly clear explana-
ton of the existing crisis, the rise in
the interest rate and the fall of in
vestment securities. The truth is,
nations, quite as well as individuals
have reached the point where they
must limit their undertakings to the
possibilities of the case; that will be
done, if not willingly, then by force
of events"
In 1906 the borrowing nations and
individuals did not thus limit volun-
tarily their undertakings, and their
bankers did not compel them to do so
In 1907, the force of events" oper-
ated. This season. the restrictive
process has been applied early and
decidedly.

Increase Of 10 IL Per Cent Is
Expected in Rail Earnings

While most of the railroads
ended their fiscal year June 30,
it will be month or more before
the actual gross and net for the
twelve months are available; new,
ertheless, with the figures now at
hand for the eleven months, it is
possible to estimate the results
for 1918.
According to those figures, II
now looks as II the railroads will
earn something like $s,175, 900 900
gross, or $500, 100000 more than
was earned for 1912. That would
be an inc ease of 10 Ia per cent.
Net after taxes will amount to
$s45, 100000 in round figures, or a
gain Of $4,000, 900, or . per cent
over the preceding twelve months.

Texas Bankers Are

Arrangements Made to Advance
Money on the Cotton Crops

FORT WORTH. TEN, July 12.-Peter
Radford, president of Texas Farmers
Union, in a public statement says:
In Texas cotton is the none crop tI
telligently has absorbed the attention
of the leaders of economic thought
times mortgaged, and debt is such a
hard taskmaster that the farmer, in
order to escape it, rushes to the mar
ket with his products and down goes
the price.
ITO relieve the pressure the bankers
are advancing the farmers S35 bale at
6 per cent, payable when the cotton Is
sold. The title to the cotton rests with
the farmer and he can sell when he
pIeases, and there is no longer occasion
for disposing OF his crop in weak or
glutted market
I'm my estimation the slow market

Futures Sales Made
Of Southern Iron
Considerable Pig Engaged at Low
Prices for Delivery During
Third Quarter of Year.

BIRMINGHAM. ALA. July IA
Considerable pig iron has been sold
in Southern territory for delivery
during the third quarter of the year,
some of the larger consumers in the
East and elsewhere taking advantage
of the low prices.
Manufacturers in this section of the
country have concluded they have
sold enough iron at the low levels
and have advanced prices from so
cents to 81 per ton. The production
has been cut down at least 10 to 10
per cent, six furnaces in Tennessee
and Alabama being blown out, Re-
pair work is being done on one or two
of these furnaces. While $l1 per ton,
No. 2 foundry, is given as the aver
age price for the product, there still
are reports that concessions are be-
ing made.
Inquiries are in hand that promise
to result in business, export deals
under negotiation amounting to H.
500 tons, while domestic business
under consideration amounts to not
less than $4,000 tons. The intentions
are to reduce the accumulated stacks
of iron.
The home consumption is looking
up. Castiron pipe plants in Annis-
ton, North Birmingham, Greater
Birmingham, Bessemer, Holt, Gads-
den and other places are beginning to
melt a little more iron. The big plant
of the American Radiator Company
at North Birmingham has been start
ed up. 1t is proposed to melt 200 tons
of iron daily at this place. The COM
pany spent something like 100000 on
the big plant at North Birmingham.
The new pipe plant at Gadsden
started up this week and when in full
operation there will be a healthy
melt. This plant replaces the one de-
stToyed by fire.
There is considerable activity In the
steel market and all predictions now
are there will be steady operation of
plants through the balance of the
year. Southern railroads are begin
ming once more to announce estimates
of needs. Rail is in demand, as are
bolts and spikes,
There is a strong demand for coke
in this section of the country and all
manufacturers are finding it neces-
sary to keep coke ovens, both the
beehive and the by-product types, in
full operation. Better prices prevail
for coke now than for some time.

1t Is a sign of the times that chill
dren are urged and encouraged to
plant gardens under their own win
dows at home and in the plrlieus OF
school buildings. Not so very long ago
you could always tell a school build
ing, not merely by the sinister and for
bidding architecture as OF the prison
house, but by the abomination Of des-
olation that prevailed around 1t. The
school yard was as bare as a cinder
track, on the theory that any grass or
flowers planted there would at once be
ruthlessly undertrodden. Nowadays
there Is i%nculcated in school children a
reverence-easily convertible into real
enthusiasm-for growing things of
their own planting, wedding. watering
and tending. from the seedtime to the
harvest. The 10000 home gardens al
ready started under the general super.
vision Of thirteen teachers whom the
little gardeners may consult will carry
