BEARS AGGRESSIVE
IN COTTON MARKET
After Quiet Opening Prices Rule
Fairly Active
THE PRICES TUMBLE DOWN
Bears Charge Decline to forthcoming
Census Report to Be Issued Today.
Closing at the Lowest
for the Day.
THE PRICES TUMBLE DOWN

New York, December 1.-THE bears
were aggressive again in today's cotton
market, and after a quiet time at the
opening the market ruled fairly active.
with prices breaking to below cents for
the near positions and closing as prac-
tieally the lowest for the day The OPEN
ing was steady at a net advance of 2
points to a decline of points. Better
cables than expected impaired steadiness
to the early trading. but there was little
or no demand and after a quiet first
hour, during which the bears seemed to
be waiting for some support to develop,
and make a bulge to sell on. pressure be-
came more marked.
Later the selling for short account was
swollen by the quotation, as prices
worked down catching stop loss orders,
and trading which had been restricted
early by wire, trouble became more ac-
tive. There seemed to be nothing in the
general news to encourage the decline,
but the bears contended that the census
report to be issued tomorrow would in
dictate a crop fully as large or larger
than that foreshadowed by the govern
ment estimate on December 3. Shorts Of
the smaller kind seemed about the only
buyers on the decline, and the market
was finally barely steady at a net loss of
2sQ34 points, with January selling around
6.SS. Sales were estimated at 800, 900 bales.
Receipts at the ports today 54,797 against
61,044 last week and 55,1s1 last year.
For the week, 100000 against SO1, 91s last
week and 297.7SS last year.
Today's receipts at New Orleans. 24.6S6,
against 22,077 last year, and at Houston
1854, against 15,472 last year.

An AntltoxIn Against Fatigue.


Should the development of the study
of toxins and antitoxins render possible
the production of an anti-body capable of
neutralizing the results of muscular ia
tigue, the consequences could hardly be
predicted. Yet a German investigator
seriously claims to have taken more than
one step in this direction already, and
publishes results that are at least sur
prising.
Weichardt (Munchener Medizinische
Wochenschrift, November 20. 1900, says
he has obtained a stable antitoxin, which,
when taken by the mouth in moderate
doses permits the output of an increased
amount of muscular energy without ia
tigue, and when taken continuously
causes sense Of general bien sire and
augments the capacity for work. He
commends his preparations to cliniclans as
a promising analeptic for convalescents,
Inconsistencies. etc. This fatigue antitoxin
is obtained from horses by injecting them
with fatigue toxin produced in the mus
cles of animals that have been subjected
to extreme muscular exhaustion.

New York, December 27-The stock ex-
change resumed business today after the
Three days holiday interval with only
"a languid interest In the days market
md the movements were a nominal af-
fair. This was In accordance with expec-
Nations. and the same state of affairs

week.
Interested conjecture centers almost en-
Eirely on the future beyond the current
week The tightness of the money market
(which Is usually a feature Of the closing
week of the year, Is entirely lacking at
Ahe present time, and the rates for time
money today worked appreclably lower.
This condition in the money market Is
without doubt partly due to the extreme
Nv quiet speculation in stocks. There are
besides some coming requirements be-
ivond the end of the year which prob
ably have to do with the desire to main
Aain quiet conditions In the money mar

coming Russian loan. which Is expected
to be offered in Berlin and Paris toward

roads which are to be used in funding
large temporary Indebtedness will then
not be far distant Except on the ny
pothesis of future known demands of
some such character, it is difficult to ex-
plain the present phenomenal quietude OF
the money market.
While the stock market was but little
more active today than during the dull
session of last Friday, the tone was
strong. This was in accordance with the
tenor of the news which was generally
favorable to values. The voice of traffic
officials both east and west was prac-
tically in unison on the steady expan-
sion of traffic, and the promise of rather
more business than they will be able to
attend to for the winter The present
shortage is widely complained of, and
the impression is given that any further
demand for freight room will exceed
present capacity The elaborate terminal
projects of the New York Central in New
York and the report of heavy outlay
by the Pennsylvania in Chicago for the
same purpose, seem to be impressive as
evidence of the great confidence in the
railroad world of the permanence of pros
porous conditions
The rising tendency Of steel products
was still perceptible. The effective break
ing of the drouth in Pennsylvania was
helpful factor. The Gripping of the wire

were held we'll until the closing, which
was dull and firm.

Prices this morning were about UNI
changed at the opening, but before long
short selling started and before after
noon the low prices of the season We're
reached. March sold at 7.1S and January
broke to &c. Not since the advance In
cotton started In 1899 has the price been
as low as 1t Is today. There must be
pile of cotton for sale, we'll as bear
pressure of the most powerful kind. This
was due to the coming report tomorrow
and the feeling that a large showing
would be made. Some looked for more
than II, 900 bales ginned up to Deeem-
Der 10. and this would indicate a crop
of fully 12,50o,0OO bales to be ginned in
the final report.
AS there was no support of any kind
the bear pressure had a decided effect
upon prices. The average trader was
on the short side. There seems to be no
staying power and as the bears now
have the market In control they will
doubtless press their advantage until
something comes up to turn the market.
The market gets weaker as 1t declines.
On further sharp breaks we would risk
the buying side rather than sell short.
