STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec 21.-There was no alter
alton in the character of the stock market
today. Trading continued on very large
scale and the tone was strong. Possibly
the interest was trifle less broad than
on some previous days of the week The
buying showed q tendency to congestion in
certain stocks and the specialized
strength of few stocks was dominant
influence in sustaining prices. The ex-
recitation was rather general that
movement to take profits would develop
during the day. The prolonged continu-
ance of the rise and the imminence OF q
holiday both suggested the likelihood OF
a profit taking movement. Spectators
as a rule are averse to leaving their
money tied up in the stock market over
a prolonged holiday and loans made to-
day carry over until Wednesday next.
The London market this morning showed
depression on the eve of the holiday and
this emphasized the impression OF yes
terdays rather sharp selling movement
near the close here Professional opera
tors therefore fell upon the market at the
opening, but they made scarcely more
than momentary impression. Powerful
support was forthcoming at the decline
and before the end of the day the tide
of prices had turned strongly upward
again The existence of a short interest
formed yesterday afternoon had some
thing To do with the rcsilliency. as the
bears were very timid about leaving ae-

New York, Dec 21.-The cotton goods
division of the dry goods market has ruled
inactive today in all departments. The
business in progress has shown no ma
terial change in prices in any direction,
neither in staple lines nor fancies.

COTTON.
New York, Dec. 21.-Today's events on

developments in connection with the set
Element OF December short accounts ex-
citing at times. There was no indication
during the forenoon of any movement 10
squeeze December shorts. and not until
nearly mid afternoon did the storm break,
which carried December with rush to
1925, as against last nights closing of
$685. On the opening the market was
quiet and firm with prices unchanged to
five points higher. Bullish cables from
Liverpool and Manchester, together with
smaller port and interior receipts than
expected, were responsible for the rise
and subsequent further gain of from
two to three points. Profit taking set in,
and before the first half hour had elapsed
prices fell sharply eight to ten points
Room covering checked the decline.
Southern information was firm without
indicating specially new features. II
would be a difficult matter to determine
just who started the buying in December
but almost before the pit was aware OF
it, that option was soaring upward rapid
ly with shorts in panic. Offerings ap-
peared to have been entirely withdrawn
and not until 1925 was reached could
holders be induced to sell sufficient cot
ton to abate the alarm of oversold room
operators. Talk of 1880 for December be-
fore delivery day helped to intensity the
excitement. The fact that spot cotton
was advanced nc. only increased the be-
lief that there was no help for shorts in
the event of holders deciding to squeeze
them. At the close the market was bare
~ steady with prices net twenty two
points higher to five points lower.

Hausan of Sioux City Assaults Wilson of
Omaha With IA Bat.

SIOUX City, July lO.-The most dis
graceful affair ever witnessed on a base
ball diamond in Sioux City took place
yesterday when Charles Hausen of the
Sioux City club deliberately struck
big Bill" Wilson, catcher of the Om-
aha team, in the head with bat,
stretching him out on the ground. The
assault was followed by great excite
ment, during which Hausen was placed
under arrest and quietly hurried off
the grounds by policeman For two
years there has been ba,i blood between
the men. Both played on the Kansas
City team at one time and Hausen ac-
cuses Wilson of chasing him off the
team.
Wilson was carried from the diamond
unconscious and bleeding profusely
from the wound in his head. 1t was
subsequently stitched together. Though
painful the injury will probably not
prove serious. Hausen was subsequent.
ly secured his release on bond.
