REVIVAL OF APPREHENSION OF AT

The Trading in Consequence Is Somewhat Animated Disappointing Those Who Had Assembled
 for the New Year
 FrOIic Only.

New York. Dec. 51.-There was a rather marked revival of apprehension of success ful attacks on stock market values today, caused by a renewed proclamation of dire things to happen next week by the same authority that upset the recent market
 The sharp dip in prices today was clear ly assignable 10 the culver of dread thus caused. The days trading was in conse- Quence. rather animated. contrary to expec- session at all today was to bring together the members for the annual New Year frolic which followed the session of the Ex- change
 The spirit of uncertainty thus awakened induced considerable throwing over of stocks accumulated during the weeks rise and re- suited in an effective curtailment of that rise. Amalgamated Copper showed itself sensitive to the new threat to the market, but that stock was supported in the later dealings and closed unchanged. The Pa- cifics were notably weak and we're affected by the denial of a rumor set in circulation that the Northern Securities decision had been handed down.
 United States Steel preferred was under pressure and showed poor rallying power. its fresh decline in the late dealings con tributing to the irregular closing. The bank statement reflected only part of the ex- pected cash gain, but the shifting of trust company accounts and the annual settle- ing influences on the bank statement and the showing was not an influence on stocks. Neither there anything in the days news affecting properties to influence the operations In the market.

q Washington. Dec. 31.-Further cor . -respondence regarding governmental Statistics of cotton was given out for
 Duplication today. Representative
 Burleson of Texas extended his in- Quiries to the Agricultural Department. ! In letter received by him today from 4 John Hyde. chief of the bureau Of < Statistics. figures are given showing the slight percentage of difference be- tween the governments estimate and the actual commercial crops.
 The ginners reports of the Census Bureau are referred to as of the utmost
 value while the continuance of their
 publication is regarded as absolutely essential to a perfect cotton reporting system. MT. Hyde's letter is as fol-
 lows:
 SCongressman Burleson:
 In compliance with your recent re-
 quest have the honor to send you the following table showing for each of the last five years this departments prs ' 1ininary estimate of the cotton crop of the United States as published in
 December of each year. exclusive of finters and sample cotton marketed in the corresponding year:

growers and the national farmers un- ion. with representatives from the Texas farmers congress and the Texas cotton convention, plan of prevent ing a recurrence of the recent cotton slump was adopted. All producers of cotton in the United States will be re- quested to pledge themselves to reduce their acreage of cotton for 1905. twen- ty-five per cent below the amount they planted in 1904.
 District and precinct meetings for the purpose of getting the promises of all the farmers will be held In every voting precinct in the cotton growing counties and an organization is to be formed for the reduction of the cotton acreage. After agreeing upon this &C., ton those present adopted resolu- tion urging all farmers who are in Q position to do so to hold their cotton until after January 24, when 1t Is be- lieved the price will have advanced. The policy of further advising the farmers to hold what cotton they nave on hand was a matter which the dele- gates seemed to hnadle with trepida- ton.
 On the theory, however, that the or ganization provided for would be strong enough to convince the market manipulators that the cotton acreage would be materially reduced in 1905, and result in a consequent advance in the surplus of the last season, the fol- lowing resolution was adopted:
 Whereas, we believe that the inter- state meeting of the national cotton association to be held in New Orleans January 24 to 26, will show a material reduction of cotton acreage apd conse- quent increase in the price of raw cot ton on hand: therefore we recommend that all owners of cotton who can do so, hold their cotton off the market un- til after said meeting"
 Another resolution adopted calls on congress to amend the laws govern ing the compilation of statistics by the bureau of statistics and the cen- sus bureau of the United States. 50 that they may be empowered to col lect and publish at the same time they issue reports on the production. re- ports showing both the foreign and domestic stock of old cotton on hand. foreign and domestic consumption by the mills and foreign and domestic de- mand for cotton goods and that the necessary appropriation be made to carry this into effect"
