Carnegie in Favor of
New Currency Bill
President Wilson Should Stand Firm
if Opposition Develops to
His Plans, He Says.

ZERMATT, SWITZERLAND. July
5.-Andrew Carnegie is keenly inter
ested in the fate of the banking re-
form bill as presented to Congress by
President Wilson.
1t is the most important and mos
necessary legislation on which Amer
lea has had to decide for years" he
says. the present American currency
system is a disgrace to the country.
1t is not true that bankers and lead
ing business men are opposed to the
measure. That is nonsense. The
best bankers and business are for the
reform. The Aldrich bill IS all right
and so long as the principle thereof
is maintained 1 do not care about the
details.
IF opposition should develop. my
advice 10 President Wilson is to stand
firm. When a panic starts other
countries and governments possess
the power to step in and act. Some
Spectators fail. it is true, but it is
good thing that they should do SO.

An unusual feature is a car shortage.
Operators believe this indicates serious
shortage in thu late fall and winter
months.
There are several causes why prices
on coal going from all fields into Geor-
gia territory will probably be higher
during the next twelve months In the
first place, exports of coal during the
past ten months have been greater than
ever before especially from West Nir-
ginia fields
This relieves the pressure of coal from
that field on the other Southern coal
fields. Alabama also Is finding new
markets at Gulf coast points and for ex-
port which takes away some coal going
into the Southeastern States. Alabama
is Coking considerable coal and this
coke is going into Md lean and far West
points. Large operators in Kentucky
and Tennessee are successfully invading
the Central and Northwestern States
with domestic coal, which. because Of
its high quality, successfully completes
in those parts with coal from all other
fields. This diverts a large tonnage
which has been going into Southeastern
States.

Southern Railway
POurs Are Sagging
Increased Dividends for Preferred

Underlying Conditions.

NEW YORK, July General in
vestment conditions have operated

ways development and general mort
gage per cent bonds after the pre-
ferred stock was put back on its reg
ular per cent basis. Around "a. the

Southern As are off only about AZ
points from the high of this year.
The Southern has more mileage
with low-earning power than any
other important road in it's territory.
However, its branch mileage is a
source of strength. as indicated by
the steady increase in gross and net
earnings every year since 1909. De-
velopment of the South tends to in
crease the earning power of these
branches. AS yet little new capital
has had to be spent on them

It will do comes a little later
There has been little activity in the
spot department, though quotations
have held fairly steady Movement
has been moderate. The strength in
the summer contracts has extended
to the entire market, and is based on
continued good consumption and the
smallness of stocks for protection of
short sales.
Inquiry among the buyers here in
diCates that there is less selling of the
actual ahead this summer than for
several years, the experiences of the
past two years having proven. in
most instances, expensive. Some mar
ket observers think this fact helps to
explain why the foreign spinners have
been absorbing fall contracts so free
ly, thus providing in that way a par
tial hedge against orders for finished
goods and yarns. If this opinion
proves correct, it is likely to prove
important as a speculative influence
during the next few months.

BALKANS YET
OFFER MENACE
To PROSPERITY
European Affairs improved, but
Vast Room Remains for Further
Progress, Says BOersanier.
By soERsANIER.

CHICAGO, July O. 1t is univer-
sally agreed that the Balkan war dis
organized the worlds finances. 1t
exceptional boom in the United
States. 1t stopped prosperity in Can
ada with an abruptness that threw
the economic machinery OF the Do
minion almost into chaos. Europe,
from the eastern end of Russia 10
France, from Norway to Italy, was
thrown into confusion.
As Europe was the origin of the
trouble, Europe is watched with keen
and anxious eyes for signs of recu-
peration.
Europe is convalescing, but the con-
valescence is perceptible only to the
eyes of the home expert. Too much
was expected of the immediate effect
of the signing of the premiinary
treaty between the warning countries
An avalanche of fresh issues came
on the market; securities attractive
in form substance and price. A few
had scarcely been absorbed when an
eruption occurred among the Turks
conquerors.
With the hereditary foe permanent
ly vanquished, it had been unreason-
able TO expect all Of the conquerors
to lay aside their weapons and go 10
work. A fighter can not be converted
into a dun and prosaic laborer in
day Besides. there must be a para
mount power among the allies, just as
Prussia holds the whip hand in the
Germanic confederation. The clash
between Servia and Bulgaria is a
contest for supremacy in the Balkans.
This may be troublesome In the
meanwhile, Germany is in need Of
capital and Reichsbank, IN its desire
for gold, may pay a stiff premium,
even as France paid it, Americas
monetary position is better, but no
yet strong We have the double task
of moving full average crops and of
financing a large number of short
term notes.
Briefly, the worlds finances are not
in a state to stand alarms and eX-
Cursions in Europe All the liquid
capital that can be available the COM
ing autumn will be wanted, and any
action that tends to cheek the flow Of
capital might be embarrassing. I'm
agine. for example, what the effect
would be if at the approach of autumn
Paris took a gloomy view OF interna-
tional politics and began TO call in
her money. All who depend on French
finance would find liquid capital, in
stead of expanding with the autumn's
needs, contracted just when most
wanted.
II these are the conditions Of the
worlds finance, it is surely clear that
what Is needed now is not merely
peace, but open good will and good
understanding throughout Europe.
In a short sentence, Europe has
improved, but the room for further
improvement is vast.

The formation of the committee on
business conduct was one of the first
products of the reform movement. The
idea of having a number of RESPONSE
Bile members in a position to get
closer to the inner workings of the
exchange than the larger board OF
governors was able to do was con-
ceived by a special committee ap-
pointed to consider the matter Of
handling margin accounts and re-
hypOthecating securities and devise
measures which will serve more fully
to protect the public"
1t is doubtful if the rank and file
Of Stock Exchange members realized
how widespread would be the duti IS
of the new organiza ton. 1t was
dubbed the police committee" at first,
and an impression prevailed in some
quarters that the most onerous work
of the members would be to prevent
horseplay on the floor Those who
allowed this thought to submerge
more weighty considerations were
quickly disa bused of IT,
Educational Campaign.
Another direction taken by Stock
Exchange reform which stands out
prominent in the history OF the past
six months is in the way Of educa ton
There was a time, not so very long
ago, when infOrma ton about opera
lions on the board was extremely hard
to get. The attitude of the authori-
ties seemed to be that the public did
not need to know anything about a
lot of matters. Such is not the case
at the present time
A committee has been formed which
supplies inquirers with answers to all
reasonable queries as to stocks, bonds
earnings Of companies and methods Of
business on the exchange. Further
more, this committee has carried the
campaign of education to the public
instead of waiting for the public to
appear in Wall Street.
Hundreds of thousands of periodi-
Gals and newspaper clippings dealing
with the Stock Exchange are dis
tributed throughout the country
monthly, and no opportunity is passed
for disseminating information about
the Stock Exchange in the year 1913.

Month OfGOOd WedtherWiU
Assure Big Yield of Cotton
Cleanest Crop Ever Seen Still Is Small and
Needs Rain in Some Regions.

MEMPHIS, July 5.-If there is rea-
belt during the next thirty to forty
days the foundation will be laid for
crop that should put at rest talk of
very high prices during the ensuing
fall and winter At the present time
there is ample basis for looking for
the second largest crop the South has
ever grown, some extremists talk Of
possibility of it running the 1911
crop a close race. This, however, is
hardly worthy serious talk, for acre
age, according to official authorities, is
not equal to that season, and condi-
ton at the time of the last compila
ton was several points lower. AS
conditions during the latter half of
the summer of 1911 were rather alb
normal in more ways than one and are
not likely to be repeated, it is not
conservative to expect the yield to
reach within a million bales of the
record.
The past week has been a period
of crop improvement, though there
still is basis for complaint, and con-
tinued ideal weather and growing con-
ditions are necessary If the basis be
laid for much excess over the season
now drawing to a close.
Rains Not General.
There have been rains where need
ed, supplying the moisture essential
TO the plant catching up its late
start and taking on fruit, yet as rule
they have been local in character and
many areas are only partially sup
piled. Others have not had enough to
do more than temporary good, and
very soon permanent injury to pros
poets may result. The high tempera
lures in the central belt We're not
ideal. except where showers came and
enabled the plant to take on size. Re
ports reaching here from the Eastern
belt have told Of improvement, though
not by any means uniform.
The handicap to the crop continues
to be its lack Of size, which, the first
week in July, is worthy of serious
consideration. The season is at hand
for fruiting, and if the plant is not
we'll developed chances are against II
becoming heavily fruited. The rains
have helped considerably, but there
have not been enough of them and
there still is the danger of drouth
later.
CIeanest Crop Known.
Cultivation has gone ahead under
favorable conditions and the crop is
perhaps cleaner than ever known
which is a feature, of importance as
to yield and the quality of the crop.
1t is difficult to conceive how con-
ditions can arise that will cause the
fields to become grassy. The crop
will be laid by under the best cOndi-
tions in years and in many sections
earlier than usual, though it will not
be an early crop when size and ma
turity of the plant is considered.
The depredations Of the weevil in
the infested sections have been
checked. for little has been heard dur
| ing the past week in regard to them.
| The hot sun and lack of moisture
have helped to check the pest, while
the vast numbers caught and de
stroyed have also been factor. Tow

NEW YORK, July 5.-Nearly a
nan year has gone by since the New
York Stock Exchange began meas
ures Of reform, and 1t is possible to
gam a retrospective view of the re-
suits obtained. 1t may be said that
the leaders in the movement are sat
ls1ed with what has been accom-
plished toward improving the general
morale of operations in securities, and
the groundwork laid for lifting the
exchange above public reproach they
believe to be secure.
Inc government committee has, in
the first place, made application in
recent months of the old adage about
an ounce of prevention and a pound
OF cure The committee has worked
TO eliminate inCipient evils before
they grew large enough to be sub
1ects of general comment in the
Street. The infection of discipline
and there has been much discipline
infiicted-has been gone about quiet
~, with the purpose of curbing in
fraction of the rules before greater In
fractions could occur. The effort has
met with much success.
In consequence, largely, the ex-
change Is entitled to considerable sat
isfaction over the fact that while re-
cent sharp declines in the interna
tiOnal markets brought in their train
a number of failures in London, Paris
and Berlin, not a single New York
Stock Exchange house got into trou-
BILE.
Manipulation Dead.
Manipulation is dead on the ex-
change said a prominent member
yesterday. THE governors have
placed themselves 80 rigidly in OPP
position to every possible method Of
creating a fictitious market for a
stock that no one would dare make
the attempt. An outside operator
might possibly try it, but the odds
are greatly against any Stock Elk
change house keeping his account IL
his trading became a matter of sus-
piciOn. There is no doubt about that.
The committee on business conduct
would take care of that end of the
problem"
The committee on business conduct
is, without doubt, the best adjunct to
proper management of the exchange
that has been added to the executive
power in many years. The commit
tees function is to enforce proper
conduct between members and their
clients, to prevent reckless or unbusi-
nesslike transactions on the board
room floor, and to throttle manipula-
ton. The scope of it's influence is
clearly seen in these three items
