Trading was quite active in the opening
dealings in the stock market and the
changes were somewhat mixed, but with
gains predon1inating. The changes were
generally fractional and uninportant-
There was, however, a drop OF 11z points
in Brooklyn Transit, a jump of IA points
in Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis,
a rise Of point IN Pacific Mail and of Is
point in AInalgamated Copper on running
sales of 2,70o shares.
Yesterdays buyers among the board
room operators turned sellers to realize
their profits and the market weakened de-
cidedly- Southern Pacific, Amalgamat ted
Copper and United States Steel were let
go with more freedom than any other
stocks and their heaviness was soon com
municated to the general list Except tor
the comparative inactive stocks, ductud-
tons were confined to sharp fractions and
the market occasionally steadied. Nas1-

Cotton Market

New York, Dec. 30.-COTTON-Spec
ton in cotton was resumed on an ex-
ceedingly active scale today and trade
sentiment seemed no less nervous and IN
settled than on yesterday. From the very
clang of the gong fluctuations were widely
erratic. Cables were perhaps a shade bet
ter than looked for just before the local
opening, but afterwards weakened and
the outlook was for heavy receipts. First
prices here were Z points higher to s
points lower, and following the call ruled
very erratic. May, for instance, opened
at s13.75. a net loss of s, points, sold up to
s13.S on the call, then broke to 1880, re-
covered slightly but within the first half
hour sold back to s13-56. a net loss of q
points, while the other months showed
equally wide changes with the general
tendency downward as a result of heavy
liquidation and rumers that the bulls
were unloading.

America by the audience and the in
vocation by Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon,
introduced Prof Arvin s. DIN, who is
now president.
President DIN presents a far differ
ent appearance from what he did last
year, when most of the teachers saw

which he wore at that time he is
sInooth-faced, and many of the teach
ers scarcely recognized him.
