An Unusual Feat.

One Of the most remarkable feats
aver accomplished in baseball came
if yesterday There were three balls
pitched, which resulted in man
.eaching first, a double play and the
side being retired by fly to the field.
Mcfarland was hit by the first ball
pitched in the seventh inning. Prout
hit the next pitched ball 20 second,
and both were out on double play.
The next pitched ball was hit to the
outfield by Hennessey and the side was
out out.-Birmingham AgeHerald

Tense of Pender seems a little strained
in face of the fact that almost in the
same sentence Hunt quotes Pender
as imputing unfair tactics to the
Natchez and Vicksburg teams. Mr..
Hunt, accompanied by Manager Haupt
called at the Democrat office yester-
day, where he made a statement in
accord with his letter to the Nlcks-
burg Herald This matter should be
investigated and Pender compelled to
name his authority for the statement
that Haupt would LAY down to Vicks-

wired President Wheatley, insisting
upon an estigation.-Natchez Dem

Gossip for Next Year.

The fans have already begun 70
talk of the team for next year Not
all of the players who wear the Pine
Bluff uniform this season Will do so
next year, but it is safe 10 say that If
they are not gobbled up by the big
leagues, Clayton, Lonsley.. Blue and
Shaffer will be at the same old stand
when play BALL is called for the
season of 1904. Some of the rest
may be held, but not all. There Will
be many new faces on the pennant-
winning team next season.

LongIey Fastest Center FieId der.

During the series of games just con.
cluded Longley has clearly demon
strated that he is the fastest center
fielder in the league. He made some
especially sensational catches during
the series, and this is the kind of game
he has played in all of the series here
In addition he is a good batter. In
an all-star team his right to hold down
center field could hardly be question

e.x4.r s Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, December T.-The Liverpool market gave the shorts a great shock this morning. Prices showed a sharp advance when we opened. The rise there at the time of our opening was r points for fu- lures and 16 points for spots. European shorts were panic stricken for the time being and local shorts were quite nervous, although, the movement was on very liberal scale. The volume of receipts does not count for much inasmuch as great falling off is regarded as certain before many days and even if not realized the world will absorb all the cotton that has been raised for 19O3-1ao4. The tenacity of spot holders must ultimately compel mill operators to yield and enter the market regardless of ruling prices. The market was excited at the opening some months being 27 points higher Shorts were buying and longs buying was on large scale. A sharp decrease in the movement within ten days was predicted by leading Texas firms.
 A much higher market was looked for by commission houses as rule. Re- ceipts at ports are ds,0O0 against 4l'OOo Cables were Ii to 12 points higher at the close Sellers to mills were demoralized and unable to fill their contracts.

Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans. December 17-Failures in Havre and Bremen and predictions of a enced Liverpool favorably and our mar higher. Realizing shortly after caused a recession of to l3 from the top, but the good demand for spots soon brought in a buying wave and forced an advance ot l9 to % from the bottom, making the net gain 35 to 3S points on the day. It is claimed the failures reported in Havre and Bremen today were brought about by American sellers of spot cotton defaulting to these European buyers. It is also ru- mored from Houston that parties In Tex as have laid down on about 40,0OO bales Of spots. which will have to be bought on the open market The fact that many sellers of cotton to spinners cannot carry out their contracts, and that there are consid- erable December shipments to be made have led many to buy heavily in antieipa- ton of much higher prices. Adviees gen. erallv from the interior are to the effect that a perpendicular decrease in the re- ceipts will be realized in the near future, and these parties claim there Is very little spot cotton left in the interior un- sold. While the movement continues heavy it is Ignored for the moment, the majority of operators believe the long looked for marked decrease will soon ma terialize. The meanwhile, with the eX- tremely optimistic sentiment prevalent as long as there is brisk demand for spots the chances are values will be maintained or enhanced further.

STOCK MARKET IN
 4 HOLIDAY RUT Transactions Largely Conduct ed in a Few SpeciaItleS ACTIVE TRADING IN COPPER Sugar Was Sold to Take Profits on the Enactment of the Cuban Reeiproc- ity Treaty-Movement Was
 Fully Normal.

New York. December 17.-Today's quiet stock market was not materially different in character from that of yesterday. The transactions were largely conducted in a few specialties and the dealings in these were supposed to have their origin in the board room. The speculation in Amal- gamated Copper was still active and the stock was the vehicle for a large part of the operations of the professional traders. The large foreign demand for copper was assigned as the motive of the buying. The stock reacted sharply in the latter part of the day, and this was effective, together with the weakness developed In Brooklyn Transit in forcing the whole list to a lower level.
 The selling of Brooklyn Transit was quite obviously profit-taking on the re- recent considerable rise in the stock with a large speculative following. Sugar was also sold to take profits on the enactment of the Cuban reciprocity treaty As the stock has moved upwards for many days in expectation of this action, the move ment to take profits was fully normal The balance of the days principal busi- ness was done in United States Steel pre- ferred The stock was conspicuous throughouG The understanding that the structural steel pool had agreed to main tain prices, was favorably interpreted, and there was much current quotation Of more hopeful views of the outlook in the trade and quoted denial of the reported intention to cut the price of steel rails. The days news had various favorable features. but the general stock list failed to respond The sale of $10.000,O00 of Atch- ison bonds cost the stock a point in it's price, although the awakened capacity of the market to absorb new bond issues was not a discouraging factor. The inci- dent was made the occasion for some renewed conjecture as to how far the increased facilities of the money market, which are expected to develop after the new year, will be encroached upon by re- quirement for railroad borrowings.
 The sterling exchange market moved strongly away from the gold import point. Demand for remittances for year end ob legations continued large and the supply of cotton bills showed some diminution The indications of a strong bank return on Saturday and the promise of easing money conditions deprived the movement in the exchange market of any disturbing Influence. The reported intention to shut down anthracite production for the week of the holidays, was looked upon as evil dence of the continued unfavorable con- dition in that trade, and the coalers were somewhat pressed for sale The rate of increase of railroad gross earnings for the first week in December for roads thus far reporting, has risen to near per cent, compaired with rate of increase of less tban,S per cent for the fourth week in November, compared with last years cor responding periods.
 Bonds were about steady. Total sales. par value $1,e9oooo. United State bonds unchanged on call.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, December 17.-Liverpool shook off its legarthy today and took lit- tie exercise today.
 The incentive was derived from predic- tions of an early falling off in receipts which in conjunction with the failures of manufacturers in Lancashire and on the continent resulting from inability to get cotton at their contract prices, start ed shorts covering in an eager fashion and established a sharp advance. The rise here was gradual but extensive.
 A broad demand absorbed offerings and prices climbed point by point until new records were made. An improved in- quiry for spots was followed by large transactions at extreme quotations all talk about curtaiment by spinners was accordingly ignored and bullish senti- ment was strengthened to greater ex- tent.
 Expectations of an early drop in the movement are freely expressed and should they be duly realized in the present tenn per of trade it would not be difficult to judge the consequences,
 Meanwhile opinions are more or less guess work.

wise people have their faces turned to- wards the next presidential election.
 People are foolish to be frightened by snoh bogies with stocks comparatively on the bargain counter. We still think all the money to be made in buying the railroad stocks on weak days The equipment stocks are strong on the theory that the railroads are borrowing money to spend for additional equipment We think tonight the loan crowd is going to show a bigger short interest than for some time and we think all the money is on the long side
