NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York. Dec. s.-A violent squall

which wrought havoc while it lasted. but
which was dissipated almost as quickly
as ii came. Compared with the stormy
scenes of the day the final market was as
placid as summer lake. and the buy

cally as though no disturbance had oc-
Cured. A review of the days net changes
reveals not a few gains and even the
worst of the losses are confined to mod
crate proportions. Unfortunately for
those who sold their stocks. either from
fright or necessity the final prices OF thu
day by no means represented the prices
at which the largest part of the day 5
sales were made.

SALT REEVES DEAD HORSE.
Animal Hauled OF as Corpse Comes to
Life and Runs Away.

Chicago, Dec. 8-Pronounced dead.
by two veterinary surgeons and then
resurrected by an accidental treatment
with salt solution, a horse he had re-
moved from the streets as dead is
causing Poundmaster Fred Warren of
Evanston troubles that wiring his
heart.
After being instructed by the author
tiles to take charge of the carcass,
Warren had hauled it into his own
barnyard, intending to dispose of it the
next day. Close to the place where
the body was left was a barrel of salt
and some of the crystals had been scat
tered on the ground.
The protruding tongue of the animal
is believed TO have dissolved the salt
until the usual reactionary effect of the
solution occurred and the vital spark
was revived. After a time sufficient
strength returned to enable the horse
to instinctively continue the treatment
on his own account.
Warren was awakened by a noise in
the barnyard and ran hastily to learn
the cause. He found the dead horse,
he insists, cavOrting about the en-
closure like two-year-old, and a few
minutes later it succeeded in breaking
through the fence and disappearing in
Il cloud of dust.
Since that time the horse has not
been disc overed and the original own
or, John Doe, is now demanding that
the roundmaster return to him the
animal which. he says. he valued at
$500. He insists that the horse was
never dead; and that he never asked to
have it moved. and that it was taken
away without his knowledge or con-
sent. and. further. that he must have
the animal again or he will sue War
rem for its full value.
Warren thinks of resigning. When
it comes to the point where a horse
pronounced dead, according to the re-
Quired forms of law, will not stay dead,
he says, his job has lost it's charm.

There is almost no demand for spot
cotton from any source. SpinnerS have
already begun their waiting policy, be-
lieVing the present price has not dis
counted fully the increased yield indi-
Gated. Sales here the past few days
have been considerably less than halt
the net receipts, with the result that
stocks are accommodating rapidly. And
the same conditions prevail elsewhere
in the South. Bids from spinners and
importers are on an exceptionally low
basis, and the price easily favOrs them.
SO that the holder of cotton sees little
i'm the situation to encourage him. The
price here has dropped to eight cents
per pound for middling uplands, and it
is impossible to sell on this basis.
Prices throughout the South are close
to the same level, and cotton Is offer
ing in large enough quantities to pre-
clude any material recovery
The situation is as completely reversed
from the standpoint of supply and de-
mand as it could possibly be when COM
pared with the conditions prevailing one
year ago. At that time the Department
of Agriculture threw the spinning world
into a paroxysm of excitement with an
estimate slightly below 10,UO.ot0 bales. and
sent them scrambling for cotton at a rate
that enabled holders to dictate terms.
They were confronted with cotton
famine even before the holidays. Now

estimate that Is sngseS,iVe 81 p'e ipaT
