lions guided today stocks market INTO

money advanced to almost the highest
level Of the week during the early ses-
sion, the result of a sudden calling OF
loans b. the local financial institu-
,ions. The banks, while apparently
head in their weekly operations with
the sub-treasury, are known TO nave
transferred about $4,000,0O0 by direct
shipment to Chicago, where cash has
been in urgent demand to meet the
situation created b. the failure OF
Inc Walsh banks and trust company.
Intimations Of a much higher money
rate during the final week of the year
were Iiven out in reasonable quarters.
The local market was firm and active
at the outset. and some of the previous
days losses We're soon recovered.
I ne greater part of the early trading
came from western commission houses
which were openly bulliSh on New
York Central St. Pau! and Reading.
These issues. together with Pennsyl-
Vania Ama.gamated Copper Smelling,
SUGAR and the traction stocks were
the chief features of strength through
out the day. particularly Metropoli-
tan street Railway. Union Pacific, the
recent leader of the bull movement,

Tennessee Coal and Iron National

heard about developments in Union
Pacific, but it was learned that the con-
trolling interests IN the property had
i'm accord with the recent upward
movement. The general list weakened
with the early advance of call money
to Is ner cent. from which rate 1T
soon fell to 10 per cent. After alter
nate spurts of weakness and strength,
the market drifted along in charac-
teristic ante-holiday fashion. In the
final hour however with money once
more at Is per cent. the market gath
cred Increased strength under the lead
of Metropolitan Street Railway, which
advanced more than five points and
the closing was active and generally
firm, the most notable exception being
American Hide and Leather. which
fell o-,er 5 points. The decline was ac-
companied by rumors of a hitch in
the reported merger negotiations with
one of the larger kindred companies.

Mr.. G.. r. Potter. of Dallas. Texas,

bureau on the goth approximate your
estimate Of 9.272,000 ginned to De-
cember 18th, it will prove very bear
ish for the reason that the weather

| quote these two communications
from amongst many as evidencing the
truth of the statements made in my
Yesterdays dispatch to the effect that
first, the ginning reports probably un-
derestimate the quantity of cotton
ginned, and second. that there is still
a very large quantity and probably
larger quantity than in many years
past yet TO be ginned. Further analy-
sis of the census returns serves to con-
firm this view and reveals the extraor-
dinary fact that i'm Indian Territory
and the States of Tennessee and Texas
the quantity Of cotton ginned from the
ST of November to the 18th of Decem-
ber, this year, was not only in excess
of the ginning during the same period
in 1903, when the crop turned out TO-
200, 900 bales, but really in excess OF
the ginning in 1904 when the crop
proved to be Ia 4.000000.
The exact figures are subjOined and
will, / am sure, prove a great surprise
even TO those who have believed with
me in production Of 0,S00 900 bales.
