NEW ORLEANS. March 11.-Liver
pool showed the full advance on futures,
but quoted spots unchanged, with sales
of 5000 bales.
The frmer tone of the marke in the
past two days seems to have disturbed
bearish harmony, particularly as the
buying was found to have come from
strong sources.
The preliminary estimate by the New
York Commercial makes the decrease to
be planted this season 81, $50 900, an in
crease of 81 per cent compared with
last year.
Our market opened little better. but
the best that can be said in the way of
support is that sellers are scarcer.

poets that the weeks statistics will be
unfavorable on account of large receipts
and few clearances this week. Receipts,
however, are erratic, showing that ~

time.
Spots here are steady and unaffected

STOCK GOSSIP

G. D. Potter says the stock market
has had a fair rally, due largely to the
covering of the short interest, and /
would expect prices to sag temporarily
rather than advance further at present.
The Mexican problem is the dominating
factor, and until it is settled, | do not
look for any substantial advance.

The weakness in American Sugar Re-
finery was based on reiteration of Tues

report, which is expected to be made
public to-day.

STANDARD OIL insiders have had
golden opportunities to pocket mil
lions upon millions OF dollars through
keeping stockholders and the public
in the dark ever since the farcical

thrty-odd so-called separate con-
Germs. Indeed, never in financial his

The Rockefellers and their numer-

poor public have handed over every

The surprise of Harrimans life was
the vituperation that followed his
spectacular Union and Southern Pa
cific dividend announcements. He ex-
pected to waken in the morning, like
Byron, to find himself famous; in
stead, he was branded as infamous
for having kept his co-partners, the
stockholders, entirely in the dark His
secrecy left so much room for inside
speculation with marked cards.
Southern Railway directors, when
they resumed dividends on the pre-
ferred stock, announced that they
hoped to generally increase the dis
bursement. and this let all stockhuld-
ers know where they stood. Might
not other companies follow a SINH
lar course?
What is Fries dividend policy, for
example? Are earnings to be poured
back into the property for years to
come? Or are the long suffering
preferred stockholders to get few
crumbs in the near future? The d.
rectors must know their own minds
or the course to be followed. But the
stockholders are left to grope in the
dark
The American Wooden directors

been for fnanciers to rob the pub

film flamming, of cases where the in
siders had information enabling them
to roll up fortunes without the slight

that I am convinced beyond shadow

liable road to travel in future, that
the whole standard Of financial ethics
is to be raised, and that the country
will be lastingly benefited therefrom.
The main source of easy profits for
insiders has been specializing in Sc
curlties on information withheld from
the public and forming "syndiCates"
for all sorts Of deals.
Your Gateses, Reds, Moores and
Yoakums are prominent types of mill
lionaires who played the stock mar
ket with loaded dice. Certain pow
erful bankers have also made mill
lions by using information which
was kept back from the real owners
of properties-the stockholders. Dr.
rectors have lamentably failed to
realize that the ordinary stoekhold-
ers are their co-partners and there
fore entitled to the fullest possible in
formation. 1t has been the fashion to
give out information only after the
insiders have had ample time to act

that the extraordinary terms exacted
by bankers for issuing the $33,000,000
new notes would send the price Of
the stock tumbling? Yet the outsid
ers, the stockholders, had no warn
ing that breakers lay ahead.
Speaking of this railroad, let me
relate another incident. The direc-
tors had declared the regular 1 per
cent dividend and had dropped not
one whisper or hint that an increase
IN the rate was in sight. Yet within a
week the definite statement was made
