WAYSIDE NOTES.

ora since 1885, most of that time in the Sahuaripa district.
 Wednesday morning we took the road again, Oliver Garretson accom- panied us to the main trail.
 Again we were travelling in a dense forest of splendid oak trees and mag uifcent pines. This timber belt con- tjnues down the main range of the Sierra Madre several hundreds of miles and it includes millions of acres of fine timber lands in the state of Sonora. Without visiting 1t one can hardly appreciate what a vast source of latent wealth lies in these timber lands of Sonora, which will be deyel- oped and made productive by the ad- vent of the projected railways which will penetrate this region. Tn" for ests include several varieties of oak timber and fine quality of pine. Some of the oaks are tall, straight and slender, aud their wood is also of very fine grain. Those posted say they will make the very best of lumber for furniture, desks, etc Many of the pines reach a height of one hundred feet, and could be cut into boards the full length of their trunks, that would taper gently from three feet iu width to one foot.
 The importance of this great timber belt to Sonora, and It's vast possibil. ities for future wealth are almost in- estimable. A railway passing down the Sierra Manre, following the course of the Yaqui, or any other feasible route, to harbor upon the gulf, will open to market millions of acres of these timber lands. All the west coast of Mexico, is now supplied with lumber and timber from Puget Sound. With railway to the coast this re- zion will soon be filled with sawmills and logging railways, and the Puget Sound trade would have to look else where for markets for the product 1t now sends down the coast of Mexico.
 Today these forests present most splendid opportunity for speculators in timber lands. Millions of hect- ares which in ten years will yield a stumpage of one hundred dollars or more pc hectare car now be bought for one dollar per hectare. IA hec- tare is about two acres.
 Just at noon we reached Mulatos. Mir Frank Spare, general superintend- ent of the mine, gave us a cordial re- ception, and made us perfectly at home.
 Mir. Spare is fellow townsman Of our own MT. R. R Richardson, Of Patagonia, and he made mention of Mr R. in the most glowing terms. We both found ourselves in hearty ac- cord upon that proposition.

COTTON STARTED

GOOD LIVERPOOL CABLES

New York December 16.-The cotton market started out firm in tone with prices up to Il points on scare of shorts and brisk demand from abroad. Very bullish Liverpool cables and firm ness in spot markets and a cold wave which covered the entire cotton belt, were the factors which stirred up the bears and gave the bulls fresh confidence Fol lowing the call the market was quite ac- tive and held it's own on scattering de- mand from all quarters. Sellers com prised ring traders and investors who had generous profits within easy reach. At midday the market had lost portion of the early rise, but was by no means weak. Wall street bought late months and Europe continued to bid for the win ter business on reports that spinners were doing splendid business. The private crop advices from the belt re- ported picking nearly completed and large percentage of the crop marketed. The government chart reported generally fair weather South but recorded the lowest temperatures in many years. these ranging from degrees at Memphis to 32 degrees at Jacksonville. While the freez- ing weather was regarded as unimportant so far as affecting the yield was con- cerned, many operators believed it would temporarily check receipts owing to its effect on farm hands.
 The close was quiet, net to z points higher. A vote on the proposition to close the exchange the day after New Years was voted down, but the members voted to close the exchange the day after Christmas.

Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York December 16.--Lower prices were generally recorded in the early deal ings In stocks today. A few prominent recessions lost a pont or more. Traders still showed approximations with regard to character of the money market and the uncertainty in copper situation.
 There were important selling pressure and in the afternoon a decided improve ment was to be noted in sentiment A material decline in call money created a better speculative sentiment, in some instances sharp rallies occurring. The movement was started by New York Cen tral, which after opening off 1 per cent. rallied over per cert. St. Paul rallied 2 per cent and recoveriis of per cent over were enjoyed by Unbn Pacific, Missouri Pacific and some spedalties.
 Long Island was particularly strong on the belief that it would be benefited by the projected Improvements of the Penn sylvania road. Iowa Central rose per cent. The local fractions were strong and inclined to advance under the lead of Manhattan. But all shlmped later in sym pathy with the general decline. American ice advanced 1 per cent on cold weather consideration. Consolidated Gas opened off 21s. but later partially recovered. In the main the rally which began in the early afternoon was somewhat half hearted. The improvement was arrestel by the development of fresh weakness. Amalgamated Copper ended at lowest price of the day and the lowest price since it was issued, showing a net loss from Saturday of 35
 Affected by this great demonstration of weakness the genera. market closed heavy and unsettled.

LITTLE LIFE IN
 STOCK MARKET Manifest HeSitancy About Un- dertaking Any Operations SLIGHT BAILEY IN COPPER Fluctuations in That Stock Were Not Violent and Traders Described
 1t as Holiday Factor to
 Watch and Wait.
SLIGHT BAILEY IN COPPER

New York, December 16.-There was no renewal of consequence of the pressure or liquidation in the stock market today but there was manifest hesitation about undertaking any operations in seem ing attempt to induce a following and to influence the general market. The eVi- dently easier condition of the money market encouraged this movement but the fear of a recurrence of stringency and the unsettling influence of the renew ed weakness in Amalgamated copper dis couraged it's extension. There was slight rallies in copper. The fluctuations in this stock were not violent and traders described it's action at a holiday factor to watch and wait" The rate of divi- dend is expected by spectators at all the way from 1 per cent quarterly down to passing it entirely Fears are expressed also that the cut in the selling price of raw copper made last week is prelimi- nary to further cuts and to a war of rates. It was worthy of remark that in London the price of futures closed higher than for spot for the first time since the first week in October.
 The prospect of the unsettlihg influence of mystery and uncertainty over the Amalgamated dividend rate until its ac- tual declaration was sufficient in itself to discourage activity in the general market The strength of the Saturday bank statement is due entirely to the speculation liquidation which took place last week. To expand again immediately the loan account of these would threaten 1t is feared a recurrence of strengent money. Rumors of dangers narrowly averted last week helped to present im- prudence.
 The last weeks loan contraction was well distributed among the banks, show ing clearly that no large syndicate trans actions were accountable for it. The con dition of the worlds money market how ever, was easier all around today. Dis counts were lower in London and sterling exchange both at Paris and Berlin fell back sharply Foreign exchange here did not rise appreciably in spite of the great CT abundance of funds in the money mar ket. It was considered encouraging, also, that no deposits were made at the sub treasury today for transfer to the in- terior.
 Checks for government interest in an ticipation of the January payment began to come to the sub-treasury today and the days payment of the $S,000,0O0 Stand ard Oil dividend was an influence towards greater ease of money. The only stocks whose strength was conspicuous were New York Central, Manhattan, St. Louis and San Francisco, Long Island the Iowa Centrals, rubber goods preferred and Colorado Fuel. Their gains wers all cur tailed in sympathy with the late weak ness in Amalgamated Copper. The net changes generally are narrow.
 The bond market was dull and irregu- lar. Total sales, par value. $1, 755000.
