.HERDER IS UNARAED,

Exciting Experience of W. C. Scott on

were big, gray wolves, noted for blood
thirstiness. and confess L felt pretty
nervous, although had never heard OF
wolves attacking a herder without
provocation.
The ugly animals kept approaching
until they were within a few feet OF
where stood. Two Of them then stop

trio rushed at me with open mouth and
with a sort Of growl that sounded like
an angry dog. I raised my club and

Finally, after being bitten several
times through my thick clothes, I got
to my feet and. aiming terrific blow
at the wolf, broke his back He was
then at my mercy, and 1 beat him &c

of natural reaction at The opening Of the
cotton market today. due 70 low Liver
pool cables. and to heavy unloading by
those who bought last week. The call
revealed an excited interest in all the
popular months.
That a bull spirit still pervades the
trade, however, was shown by the readi-
ness witn which the commission houses
and others bought on the decline Sully
was credited with large purchases On
March.
Spots were reported in good demand
on all soft places but Europe appeared
10 be doing little or nothing. In gen
eral way early trade was not up 10 the

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

There is n marked difference of opin-
ion as to the cause Of the advance in
the market last week. Many of the
financial experts now express the be-
lief that professional buying and cover
ing of shorts were the principal factors
at work. The theory that large inter-
ests have been accommodating lines of
stocks and that even the public was a
buyer is now thought to have been par
TALLY fallacious.
While money market conditions in the
United States are comparatively easy. at
present as contrasted with a year. aea
the situation is not altogether free from
threatening factors. 1t is probable that
the New York banks have not COM
pleted arrangements to meet the re-
quirements of January !, and a period
of tight money conditions is looked for
in some quarters after the first of the
year.
Taking into consideration the discour-
aging character of Saturdays bank
statement, the opening today was far
better than might have been expected.
The transactions analysed seemed to
show that there was not news enough
TO discourage speculation in speciaIties
such as Amalgamated Copper or bring
out much stock elsewhere. Amalgamated
was strong on a renewal Of buying, said
to be part Of the Lawson campaign
and as a result Of the passage of the
fair trial bill in Montana.
The United States Steel issues acted
better this morning than might have
been expected, and it is thought by good
market judges that the estimates on the
earnings for the December quarter Will
be found to have been discounted when
the next statement is published. IT is
significant that the reduction OF wages
in the steel business has so far caused
no labor trouble.
Before the opening of the market, a
tip was received in Washington that
Amalgamated was scheduled for a big
advance. Local investors were advised
to get aboard and it is probable that
the suggestion was followed by many
spectators in the city. The advance In
Amalgamated is attributed to an adj
justment Of difficulties between import
ant copper interests
The truth about the present financial
situation can be summed up briefly.
