NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov 22.-The stock mar
ket today was q repetition of the pre-
vious few days. opening strong and
higher. Every active stock on the list
started the day off at a higher range
OF prices than prevailed at the close
last evening.
Reading and Union Pacific were the
strongest features in the early trad
ing, the former selling well above $50
and the latter almost touching 191.
The trade was on a large scale in both
OF these two issues, but on the ad-
vance it looked very much like some
influential interests were distributing
stocks and selling all that the market
would absorb without causing any de-
preston in value
St Paul did not occupy the center of
the stage so much today as in the past.
The tendency of this security was re-
dictionary in a measure. Even when
the balance of the market for the
higher priced rails showed buoyancy,
st. Paul was sluggish and inclined to
weakness. 1t sold off during the lat
ter part of the session to 1S3 IA and
closed at the bottom prices for the day.
The announcement Of the Great
Northern ore deals completion did not
make the stir in the Hill stocks as was
generally expected. On the contrary,
both Northern Pacific and Great North
ern sold off two to four points re-
spectively. All of the good news was
out on these two issues and profit-tak-
ing was the order of the day.
The market generally tonight closes
weak, with losses apparent throughout
the list.

BIG BUSINESS BEING
DONE AT THE POSTOFFICE

There is something doing every
hour" at the postoffice in view of the
approach OF the holidays. and the in
dications are that the volume of Christ
mas business there will this year sur
pass all previous records. Never be-
fore were so many foreign money or
ders issued as was the case last week,
and the domestic orders are likely to
exceed in number and volume any
thing of the kind in the history Of the
office.
These money orders represent many
thousands of dollars and are being
sent to European countries and the
verious states OF the Union as Christ
mas presents by people here to rela-
tives in other lands and In distant
parts of our own country. There is
no better index to the material condi-
ton OF a community than the volume
| of its postoffice business, hence the
unusual transactions in that line here
means general prosperity and a con-
tentment with industrial surroundings.
Outgoing packages containing Christ
mas presents have begun to reach the
postoffice in steady stream and will
continue until the end of the week.
The first of them came in on Monday,
and we're addressed to people In the
distant parts of the country, to New
England. and the Southern States and
to the Pacific coast. Today they are
beginning to go out to New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other less re-
mote localities. Tomorrow It will be
Indiana, Illinois. Michigan. Kentucky.
ETC., and the next day 1t Will be Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
On Friday Kansas and Nebraska will
be in the ascendancy, only to give
place on Saturday to Colorado and
those close at hand.
The merchandise rate for packages
carried by the United States mails is
sixteen cents pound, but whether 1t
is carried to Pueblo or Manila, to
Denver or to Honolulu, to Kansas City
or to Porto Rico. to Florence or to
Alaska, makes no difference In price.
The maximum weight allowed for
packages for transportation through
the malls is four pounds and the post
age sIxty-four cents. Uncle Sam

Biggs dry goods firm has offered a
prize for the man making the highest
batting average.
With these prizes as an incentive,
and with the aid of an ex-professional
now practicing medicine in this city,
DR.. Avery, who will assist the regular
coach, the school expects to put out
a winning team.
@. C. H. s. expects to get into the
Interscholastic Baseball League, and a
good team representing this city will
prove a valuable aid in advertising
Canon. In fact the success OF the
locals in football has already resulted
in a baseball challenge from East
Denver High School, and games have
been arranged with that school both
here and in Denver.
That the local townspeople and es-
pecially the merchants appreciate a
combination of good baseball and good
advertising may be judged from the
advance subscriptions for season tick
cts. These tickets cost $1.50 and will
admit to all games played in this city
by the local high school. AS there
will be at least seven or eight games
the proposition Is meeting welcome
everywhere, but especially among the
business men, who understand that to
keep Canon's name in the sporting
pages of the states newspapers is to
keep it before the largest possible
audience, for during the baseball sea-
son hundred people read the base
ball news to every one that reads the
reports on the fruit crops.

ter, though the Canon men outclassed
their opponents in every respect.
The Salida forwards were SO closely
guarded that they had few opportuni-
ties to try for the basket, and when
they did get ashot they seemed unable
to make it count.
Canon only made 2 points on fouls
to Salida's 8. The locals made Il
points in each half, Salida making 10
in the first and 4 in the second.
The Canon line up was changed
during the last of the second half to
try out the candidates for the team.
The line up was as follows:
Forwards, Wylie, Smith, Coulter,
Johnston; center, Wycoff; guards,
Guthrie, Cooper, Simon. Referee
Jamison.
The boys basket ball team promises
to repeat the success of the girls team
and of the football team.
The outlook in baseball for this
spring is equally bright. There is an
abundance of material and the men
are already out for batting and field
ing practice. From present indica-
tions the locals will put out team
that will field fast and hit safe. The
brilliancy of the last baseball season,
that closed in the major leagues in the
series for the worlds championship
at Chicago, shows how popular the
national game is with Americans, and
augurs well for the next season.
That the interest in baseball is also
strong in Canon City is evident from
the fact that three of the local mer-
chants have offered prizes to the MEM
bers of the high school team who play
the best ball.
Coleman, of the athletic supply
house, has offered a prize for the man
with the highest fielding average.
Russ Sartor, the tobacconist, has
offered a prize for the man with the
most stolen bases, and the Baker G.
