NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-The following are
be closing prices on mining stocks:
Foreign

LONDON, Dec 1s.-The demand for
money was active today and supplies were
short. Borrowers were largely dependent
on the Bank of England. Business on the
Stock exchange was more cheerful owing
chiefly to the recovery In Americans. Pro-
fessionals were the main supporters of
prices. 0onsols were firm. Home rails
more active and higher. Americans opened
above parity and to fair business. but later
they slackened and closed quieter and be-
low the best quotations of the day. Grand
Trunks reacted. Kaffirs were in fair re-
quest and made a slight advance.
PARIS Dec. 19.-Prices were firm on the
bourse today, the new aspect OF the ven-
ezuelan situation Inducing the hope that
the questions In dispute will shortly be
settled. South Americans were in fair in
quiry and most of the industriais hard
ened. Rio tintos were more active on the
nrmness of copper In New York. Kafirs
opened strong and closed quieter. The pri-
vate rate of discount was 2 1915. Three
per cent rentes. 99f zoe for the account;
exchange on London. 25f 24fc for checks.
BERLIN. Dec. 19GBusIness was quiet on
the bourse today. Governments were firm.
Banks were dull on the mildness of the
weather. Exchange on London, 20m 44pfE

Market Proves Of Little Interest to Dealers,
All Commodities Being Dull.
PRICES HARDEN TOWARDS CLOSE OF DAY

Five Cents Better.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19-There was little Of
interest in the trading today on the Board
Of Trade, both grain and provision mar
kets being dull, but closing prices were
hrmer, May wheat being up "a &C. May
corn &c higher and oats Ad3sc higher.
January provisions were unchanged to &c
Statistics we're against the wheat market
and early prices were lower, but local trad
ers were good buyers at the decline and
Jmall ~clearances and fair receipts were the
main weakening influences. Trading was
only moderate and no special feature was
manifested. May opened a shade TO B4hc
lower at 1914 16kc and after selling on 70
76Aa76Ac there was a gradual rally the
top being reached at 0uClsc. The close
was std15c higher at nc. December closed
nc higher at 73lzc. Bradstreet's reported
exports for the week of wheat and -four at
3,256, 900 bu., compared with 4.S3S,VO blu. the
corresponding week last year. Clearances
today Of wheat and -four were equal to
$4,000 Blu. Primary receipts were $4,000 bu.,
against SIS. 900 a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts OF AZ cars, which,
with local receipts OF Al cars, none contract,
made total receipts Tor the three points tSs
cars, against 622 last week and 1913 a year
ago.
southwest impaired hrmness to corn and
comparatively small local receipts added
to the tone Of the market. May closed with
a gain of tc at 43AG43Ac, after selling be
lower at 46Kc Local receipts were PSI cars,
eight of contract.
oats were firm, but the market was eN-
tremely dull, with the volume of business
very light. May was in good demand by
commission houses and shorts, and closed
strong. MAKE higher at $3.50. after rang
ing between 32kc and 34nd34lzc. Local
receipts were 1872 cars
Provisions were easier early on lower
prices for hogs, but shorts took advantage
OF the lower prices and covered freely, thus
advancing the Price. Some realizing
towards the end OF the session caused a
slight reaction. but the close was firm,
January pork being up sc at 1854 January
unchanged at 1911.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
66 cars; corn, 1855 cars; oats, 165 cars; hogs,

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.-CoTToN-After
opening steady at unchanged prices to an
advance Of l point ruled quiet for a time,
speculation not as expected and local senti-
ment having a bearish flavor. Late, how
ever, 1t became apparent that the week
buying movement set in. which carried
prices 4qll points above the closing level
OF the previous day. and on that basis tn
were figured at US 600 bales. All classes OF
traders became buyers early in the day and
an attitude initiated by small estimated re
ceipts for the day at important points. The
demand was accelerated by favorable spot
cotton dispatches from New Orleans and
other points OF accumulation In the south;
At New. York spot quotations were marked
up 5 points. Shorts were the best buyers.
An element Of firmness was the worlds
visible sunply increase, which amounted
last year. The American increase was only
$4,000 bales, whereas the increase In the
week last year was 161. 600 bales. 1t was
evident that the absorption Of cotton was
still proceeding upon a record sale, with no
corresponding Increase in the movement of
cotton. This. according TO Superintendent
King of the New York exchange. amounted
to S1o,39 bales for the week, as brought
into sight. against S99.OT2 for the CORE
spending week last year, making the total
amount brought into sight 6,11S.663 bales,
against 6,054,646 last yea. Estimated for
tomorrow Saturday: Call for 5000 to 1904
bales at New Orleans. against 1901 bales
last year. while Galveston Is scheduled for
s,cO to 1900 bales, against 3,279 last year.

SHEEP-There wac not a heavy supply
or sheep and lambs IN sale this morning,
put prices took quite a tumble. Packers
claim they have been paying too high prices
mere. Tor some time. as compared with other
markets, and that they are now going to
get this market down In line with others.
As omp red with yesterday afternoon the
market Is fully l0615c lower. or. as COM
pared with yesterday morning, the decline
amounts TO fully 15d25c and in SOM cases
sales were made that looked even worse
than that The least decline was on strictly
choice natives that packers could use for
their Christmas trade. Owing to this sud-
den tumble in prices trading was naturally
rather slow and it was late before a clear
ance was made.
The stockeT and feeder market continued
about steady. Supplies were light, so that,
while the demand was also limited, prices
showed very little change.

The seven Golden Cities.

The "Seyen Golden Cities" one Of
the most popular legends Of the latter
cart Of the dark ages, were said to be
situated on an island west Of the Afri-
can coast. The island Is REPRESENTED
as abounding in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, ''the high towers
Of which shown at a great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time Of the conquest Of Spain and
Portugal by the Moors, when the In
habitants fed in every direction to es.
cape slavery, seven bishops. followed
by great number of people, took to
ships and put boldly out on the high
seas. After tossing about for some
time. they landed on an unknown is
land, the famous spot which in after
years became the seat of the Seven
Golden Cities'
'This island" Heylyn says, "was ex,
nctly III midocean." After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned tile ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserting and founded the
cities which have become so famous
In song and story. This mysterious is
land was often sought by the early
navigators Those who went in search
of it and never returned We're popular
ly believed to have been detained by
It's inhabitants.
