 NEW YORK. Dec. l4-The market closed strong at the top prices of the day and Is going higher. especially the railroad stocks We think Erie and Alton and Southern Pa ciic will sell very much higher than they have sold in many moons. A prominent Broad Street short interest is very large-in fact, much larger than is generally believed. The position of railroad stocks is intrinsically sound. and we look for higher prices for ell of them. but prefer the three-uRmed above to the others, bec&use they have had no exploitation of late. We still remain bearish on the industrials and believe practically all of them. especially Steel preferred. Q good short sale on every rally.

 NEW ORLEANS Dec I4-Notwithstanding Liverpool advices were unfavorable, our mar ket opened unchanged to points lower on near months and advanced about on the late. Fresh buying shortly after caused an additional improvement of 3@4. but the con- tinued free receipts and easiness of spots oc- casioned recession of s@Ii from the top somewhat later Supporting orders, however. were In evidence at the decline, and thereaf- ter fluctuations were frequent the closing showing a net loss of 394 points nthe day The easiness fin Liverpool was attributed to the statistical situation weakening and poor trade conditions. Continental cables claim that spin ners there have bought So freely lately that it Is expected they win now fall back on their stocks and take less than their consumption Hoa sof the spinners af5 therefore out of the market, as the. Advance checks business. Ex- portefs in America are hbathetic and it was noticeable that speculation was more restricted today. This may be due to the approaching holiday or might be that operators are await ing new developments before entering into fresh engagements. Nevertheless sentiment is very bullish, yet, as long as receipts are rela- lively free. and there is "a limited demand for spots. we continue to suggest purchases only on sharp breaks. u

Soon after the opening March advanced 3 points to l2. 65 and then receded to I2.54. From that price there was another upward movement. which took March to I2 ga carried March back again to I2.S3 but a final upward turn carried 1t to 2 69 The fluctuations were numerous, but narrow The trading was light. holiday feeling was ap- parent and 1t is probable that there will be only short periods of any great activity until after the first of the year.

There was an effort during the early morning to put prices down and while the market was depressed 10 Sor i2 points. it soon advanced. The continued heavy movement and the fact that the into sight now is in excess of last year Is causing con- siderable comment, and conservative traders are hesitatipg before getting into the market. There is a very wide difference of opinion but the crowd hesitates to sell this market in spite of the fact that there are some who talk Q cents ultimately. On the other hand the bulls are as confident as ever and talk IS cents for cotton In New Orleans and 8 cents in New York.

 NEW YORK. Dec. l4.-The market was &C., tive and strong. When 1t Is considered that the price was i2.34 for May on Monday last weak and the week before that below | IEc some idea of the strength of the market can he obtained. Receipts at ports and interior towns were rather heavy and this caused more or less selling. But as heretofore, when sellers tried to get back their cotton, prices bounded up. For instance. May broke under heavy pressure from I2.6o to I2.35 and then to- wards midday reacted to l2.45. From that point there was a steady decline to 1887 and in about ten minutes after midday the price ran up to I2.44 again. Weather in the South, acording to the map and predictions is likely to be cold enough to interfere with the movement. As the market looks there is noth- ing to indicate the next move in prices. Should the movement fall off prices would advance again very easily. But in the meantime the heavy receipts bring out more or less cotton from holders for profits and this unsettled the tone. While commissio nhouse business has been enormous. 1t is less this week and the policy appears to be to take profits on hard places for the present. In view of the price and uncertainty as to the size of the crop this policy is to be commended We would take profits on an advance for a while until the market shows which way it ts going to move next. Reports from the South indicate a good business in spot cotton.

NEW YORK. Dec. I4.-Liverpool was not up to expectations today. and the receipts were not falling of as was predicted last week.
 Furthermore press dispatches from Mississippi were bearish and intimsted that large quanti- ties were awaiting gshipanent as soon as the prfc etouched lA cents. TLocal confidence was disturbed for the moment. A good many re- cent buyers were wanting profits, but never theless, prices were at an advance in fact, after every little lower tendency eagerness to buy was shown. The feeling was that we are now feeling the effects of the usual Christ mas rush of cotton to market. Shorts under stood this and selling Is therefore dangerous proposition; in fact, there is absence of will lngness to take the short side anywhere The bureau figures are adhered to by best houses and if anything they feel confident the output. if anything, will fall under the 0overnmenk,s
 figures. The market weakened after the open ing and there was an absence of business The estimates for a large movement tomorrow seeming to remove confidence. Port receipts were estimated at 50, 900. against ga. 900 last year. Scalpers did good deal of business and Wall Street bought some on the decline. Ca. lbaas closed -at@a AeclaAe of s205 points.

NEW YORK. Dec. I4.-with first prices at an advance of I63 points. the cotton future market today opened steady in tone. The firm feeling in some circles was all the more ccnspSeuous tn view of the relative weakness at Liverpool. Heavy receipts and improved climatic tconditions were also a feature which was calcu1afed ed be ia ybrable to the bears. Some of the, shortas sadeda to their lines, but the cotton coming out was generally well taken and consequently certain bullish inter- ests felt quite confident of their position. The advtces from the spot cotton markets were more favorable in that they indleated e bet ter demand from spinners. The improvement in the far EasteFn, sltuGtion was snAll fea- ture although there were bearish private ca Dhles tostha effect that certain Manchester mills Were considering the Sadvisability Of closing down at this time. Some of the local bears sold cotton on these private cables and finally there was someselling out by longs. The liqui- dalton had the efksqt of softening prices and the more active months declined materially from the firm levels noted later in the day The professional trade worked on both sides of the account. but 1t evident that the bull eelment was still working to maintain a dictatorial position in the general situation. The estimated port receipts were 5o,Ooo, against "a, 5o4 for the same day last year

The freshman class of Colby marched
down from the campus, Wednesday
forenoon, in body to the residence of
Professor l.. E. Warren on College
avenue all members of the class who
had not gone to their homes being pres
ent. Parker Craig, acting as spokes-
man for the class presented Professor
Warren with a beautiful mantal clock
as a token of the appreciation of the
class for the kindness shown it by
Professor Warren during the past
year.
Professor Warren is considered by
the boys as a special friend of the
freshmen, most classes having their
first class room experience with him.
He has been the warm friend of every
class he has taught and the present
freshman class will be the last as his
resignation will take effect at the close
of this year. So the presentation was
especially appropriate 1t was made
with a neat little speech by Mr.. Craig,
Professor Warren expressing his APP
probation of the gift and of the senti-
mcnt that prompted it.
