NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1914, WILSON'S ATTITUDE D T0-BUSIE White fouse Confercness Wi " Produce Impotant Resals. A ¥ (Special to the Herald.) ‘New York, July 11.—The happen- ings of the week have upon the whole been of a favorable character. The icst encouraging development Wwas the July crop report of the depart- ent of agriculture. This report in- djcates a crop of fully 930,000,000 bushels of wheat, against 760,000,000 buysHels a year ago; a crop of 2,868,- 000,000 bushels of corn, as against 2,446,000,000 bushels a year ago; a CFop of oats of 1,200,000,000 bushels, cOmpared with 1,122,000,000 bushels a r ago. The estimated farm value the wheat crop is placed at $700,- ,000; corn over $2,000,000,000, and oyer §400,000,000. These amounts course represent only a ‘portion of total agricultural products of the try, which this year are expected reach a value of fully $10,000,000,- Effect on Business. The creation of so large an iount ofenew wealth must inevitably lve a stimulating effect upon general siness. This fact is particularly ized in the western or agricultural es, where the feeling is univer- ly optimistic. - Western rallroads usily preparing to handle the trafic which this will create; and re is already a pleasing diminution the number of idle cars, wh!c‘h de- ased more than 20,000 during the nth of June. There is also some improvement in the steel trade, re- Iting from a freer placing of orders “rolling stock, although that in- stry.is still in a very depressed con- ion. In the building trade there is partial resumption of activity fol- ing the late acute reaction. The ne record of failures shows a de- A ase in number, and there would 3:’3 been a satisfactory reduction of & the liabilitiles had it not been for the ' Claflin failure, which is still an ad- + element in the dry goods situa- ition, Prices have been unsettled, and a8 public sale has béen ordered; but J‘ly is usually a month for clearing es in thé dry goods trade; so this | téndency should not be regarded tdo \sériously. The drygoods trade is, of cgurse, feeling the effects of general Epression at, the distributing end, and prices for Taw material and 1gbor at the manufacturer’s end. An ded element of uncertainty is the new tariff, which s admitting woolen fabrics and fancy cotton goods juch more freely than when it first xlne into operation. The steel trade thus far has not been materially af- ted by the new duties. Tho juntry already exports far more steel priilucts than it émports, and s not i serious. danger from the new schedule; although lower prices abroad would probably admit moder- te quantities of certain products in the seaboard markets of the United States. Mexican Problem Disappearing. The Mexican problem is rapidly dis- &) ng as a stock market infiluence; 1 probability of American interven- tidh having almost reached the vanish- ing point. Huerta is evidently weary of playing a losing 'game; and, if ell reports be true, the prospects are for early peace in that unhappy country. Conditions in Northern Mexico are mich more settled, and it is significant that the American Smelting and Re- finihg company is about to open fits @hts in that section. me of the most encouraging de- [velopments of the week was the frank iange ‘of attitude by President Wilson g ard big business. The president’s cifragéous ‘announcement of his beé- {éf ‘that ‘“the vast majority of men | conriected with what we have come to call big business are honest, incor- ruptible and patriotic,” is a welcome c¥howledgment of what every sane, jrtelligent and 'fair-minded business rman knows to be true. There are rogues in every profession and big business has not been free of its mis- deeds and unsound policies. The silly assumptfon, however, that every suc- cessful business man is a ‘‘malefactor,” an jumption which has been very )popular with a certain class of peopl has done great harm to the countr: nd Mr. Wilson has performed a di tinct national service by contradicting this popular obsession. Thus far the stcek market has been slow to re- gpond to these favorable influences. he disposition appears to be to hold the delay of the interstate commerce sion responsible. Unquestion- bly that is an important factor, but lits importance is probably overesti- ated. Tt is doubtful if the commis- sfon will grant the full request of the afiroads. A compromised verdict is Jinost likely. Lack of Confidence. . The main reason for stock market iudrtia has been lack of confidence, and this lack of confidence must be primarily attributed to the industrial and financial reaction which started with the Balkan war and has spread over the entire world. This is the prime cause of present conditions which our politicians have aggravated tifer than softened. No Ordinary Occasion. ‘With such weak stocks as Missouri Pacific, Denver, New Haven and esapeake & Ohio it was ‘only inatural that the balance of the list mould display hesitation. Indeed, it sutprising that the market showed puch sustaining power. The almost otitl eclipse of Rock Island, San 1wlees;. Missouri Pacific and Den- § apgsceurity values would, under ordi- circumstances, be sufficient to Ferenio @ panic. Tt must be bélieved, fncrefore, ‘hat the present is no or- Inary occasion. Notwithstanding [{ricee eruptions, holders of standard surities rofuse ¢ be frightened, and by iy elng their belongings in thet soomer or Ister they are bound te improve on investment buying. . - 4 The disposition of the president to consult large business interests is, if ccntinued, likely to produce important results. There is no question that all sections of the nation are beginning to feel that there has now been enough antagonism against big busi- ness and corporate interests, and there is no doubt that if the country were left to its own resources for a reasonable ‘time general confldence and prosperity would be restored—'a consummation devoutly to be wished.” HENRY CLEWS.

JAPANESE QUESTION BEING DISCUSSED Bryan and China Hold Conferences to Block Action on Blls. Washington, July 11.—Proposed legislation intended to bar further immigration of Japanese and other Asiatics into the United States threat- ens to become an issue once more when enough members of the house return to the city to permit the com- mittee on immigration to assemble a quorum. A meeting of the* committee is desired by Pacific coast members for the conslderation of exclusion bills on which they have not yet succeed- ed in obtaining any action. Attempts made last winter to get favorahle committee action on one or the other of several anti-Asiatic Dbills intro. duced. were frustrated by the joint efforts of President Wilson and Sec- retary Bryan and administration leaders. A renewal of these endeav- ors to get the committee to pass om the bills is now under way. Learned of Intentions. Through its own sources in- formation regarding legislative mat- ters in congress the Japanese embas- sy here learned of the intentions of the members and acted promptly, Ambassador Chinda politely callea to the attention of Secretary of State Bryan the protest against these bills which he filed with the state depart- ment on behalf of the government of Japan last winter when immigration legislation was under consideration. Bryan Admits Conference. Mr. Bryan admittea that he had had a number of ‘“conferences” with members of congress and with the Japanese ambassador on the subject. The secretary sald the discussions concerned only certain language of the bills and indicated that the imat- ter was of slight consequence. In other quarters, however, It was demonstrated that the administration will have to come, to the rescue as it did last winter and determine the shelving of the bills or face another disagreeable discussion with Japan. Commands Strongest Support. The bill which seems to command the strongest support is that drafted by Representative Raker of Cali- fornia. This bill provides for the ab- solute exclusion of all Asiatic labor- ers and for the registration of all Aslatic laborers now within the lim- its of continental United States. At present the immigration of Jap- anese of the laboring class is at a minimum through the workings of the ‘“gentleman’s agreement” by which the Japanese government un- dertakes to refuse to issue passpor:s to Japanese of the coolie class desir- ing to come to the United States. This arrangement the Japanese are willing to continue indefinitely, but they are prepared to object vigor- ously to a drastic exclusion law. RICHTER & CO.

Wall Street, 10:45 a. m.—Further acute weakness in New Haven shares was the feature of the early dealings on the Stock Exchange today. With- in the first half hour the stock de- clined abruptly on small dealings to 55 1-2 compared with yesterday's low price of 58 7-8. Ontario and West- ern, a New Haven subsidiary, also fell to the lowest quotation in sev- eral years. Otherwise price changes were mostly nominal except for Ca- nadian Pacific, which recovered a point of yesterday’'s loss and Baltimore and Ohio, which rose as much. Mis- souri Pacific reacted after an initial advance, and soon went lower than before. Chesapeake and Ohio and Missouri, Kansas and Texas also es- tablished lower prices. Trading was in diminished volume. Recoveries were made by high grade stocks and some of the low priced issues rebounded 1 to 2 points. The movement was checked, however, by sudden declines in Western Union and American Telephone and Tele- graph, which fell from 1 to over 2 points respectively. Closing—Another selling ment occurred today in Haven, Chesapeake and Ohio, Gould issues and some more o0b- scure stocks producing new low records. The selling appeared to be largely of bear origin/ which followed an announcement that the interstate ccmmerce commission had ordered the St. Paul road to reduce rates be- tween Minnesota and North and South Dakota points.
