vices were not encouraging therefore
our market opened slightly easier and
declined about points en- the increas-
ed receipts. Notwithstanding spots
were easier and the indications are for
larger weekly movement than general
ly expected, values ruled steady and
practically unchanged, as no DISPOSE
ton was shown by operators to enter
into new engagements over the holi-
days. Sentiment continues extremely
bullish on the hypothesis that after the
New Year spinners will enter the
market freely, being superinduced to
do so by the anticipation of a light
January movement. The strong statis-
teal situation existing now it is thought
will grow stronger during January and
as the financial situation is also ex-
pected to be relieved by the payment
of immense dividends. 1t is supposed
that outsiders will be attracted actively
to the article. causing the sharp ad-
vance long looked for. While this is
the general opinion it must be remem-
bered that the receipts and weather
will govern. We wish you all "Mer-
ry Christmas" and Happy New Year"

New York, Dec. 24.--Our market op-
ened with sales of January at S.53c and
after selling at 8.51c ruled at 852c at /
p. m In the face of the heavy move
ment at the ports and increase at the
interior towns, this market has shown
remarkable f1rmness. While the trad
ing has been largely in the nature of
liquidation on both sides Of the account,
1t displayed more strength than usual.
January has been for sale at the diff
ference over March and May all day,
and as none would sell short this must
represent liquidation. Cotton continues
to point here in small quantities. but it
will be needed to fulfill the contracts.
All the markets write bullish letters on
the statistical position, so that II is safe
to assume the trade look for higher
prices after the holidays. The close
was very steady with local buying dur
ing the last hour. We wish you all a
Merry Christmas The spot market was

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Ban Johnson Says Everything Is
Settled for the Invasion of
New York.

Once more it is announced that New
York Is to have an American League
team next season. and this time the
story comes from a man who should
know what he is talking about. In fact,
the statement is official, coming from
President Ban Johnson, the whole
works OF the rival to the National
body. Everything Is settled, according
to Mr.. Johnson, and work on the
grounds which have been leased will
commence at ono
1.-The American League will have q
team In New York" said johnson in
Chicago, "and 1t will be a winning one
the best possible TO get together from
the players of both leagues. New York
has not had a good team Of ball players
for some time, and we will do big
business there with a irst-class team
like ours will be. Every position for the
team has been filled and the contracts
secured, and 1 will say that he Is one
OF the best-known men in the business.
There is no trouble at all over
grounds. We have secured a long time
lease on suitable grounds that are
nicely located and which will prove an
ideal spot for a ball park. McGraw and
the others can believe If they wish that
we are not coming in. I hope they
really believe so, but Of course they
know better. We will go there to do
business, and 1t stands to reascn that
we will succeed If we give the New
Workers. the kind of bail playing they
want to see and are entitled to see"
Clark Griffith, manager of the Chicago
American League team, Is also back in
that city after a flying trip here.

ers,' said Griffith, land I got some all
right. OF course there were some whom
1 wanted and could not land. but 1 Sc

the American League a lot next sea-
SON..
Griffith said that he had seen George
Davis while In Gotham. and stated that
the rumor that C~omiskey's shortstop
was to leave Chicago was entirely with
out foundation. In regard to the oft-re-
| peated report that he was to manag
the New York American League team
next year Griffith was rather reticent.
That is a matter which is still unde-
cided,'' said Griffith. There is one
thing certain. however. and that Is that
I will never leave Comiskey unless he
gives his consent, and he SO far has
not done so definitely"
