;
only thing traded in on Dec. "a
~ on Wall street, and the brokers
have celebration each year
that literally jars things loose. The fea-
lures of this ceremony vary, but the
horseplay does not The brokers let
off the tension and have good time
generally. The festivities begin at
noon and sometimes last for several
hours. The galleries fill early, mostly
with wives and sweethearts of the
members on the floor. The Stock Ex-
change is literally draped with green
and red. The Seventh Regiment band
is on hand and as the chairman sounds
the gong begins playing "The Star
Spangled Banner or some other patri-
otto air. Sometimes an elaborate pro-
gramme is arranged, made up of min
strel acts. coon songs, comic talks and
similar performances. But, whatever
the especial form of the entertainment,
the bulls and bears conduct themselves
in much the same way. They make
Rome howl. Hats are smashed; bags
of confetti are thrown at the ladies in
the gallery, who in turn empty the
contents over the heads and shoulders
of the shouting brokers below.
If there happen to be new members
they are "initiated' and are carried
about the room in yelling procession
to the music of the band. On one such
occasion an amateur football game
was played in the great chamber Of
the Stock Exchange. Afterward the
members INDUCED in a cakeWalk for
an immense forty pound cake, which
was temptingly displayed on the chair
mans balcony. One staid old dnancier
played the piano, another strummed on
guitar, while the younger brokers cut
pigeon wings about the floor. In older
years a Christmas tree graced the
Stock Exchange celebrations, all sorts
of comic presents were handed out
and the carnival ended up by every
body telling jokes on everybody else
| OF recent years this formal observance
| Of the day has been abandoned. Now
the ceremony is simply small edition
Christmas. as it were.
Inc celebration OF last year will give
an idea Of these Christmas eve frolics
| in Wall street. At five minutes be-
fore noon the whole floor seemed in
tent on business, pushing up U. P. and
other stocks and hurting puts and calls
| back and forth like a game of battle
door and shuttlecock. Promptly at IL
the great gong sounded, and in the
twinkling Of an eye the scene was
transformed. From somewhere ap-
peared band and began playing CIV
erybody Works but Father" and all
the brokers howled in chorus. A rope
| was stretched across the room, and Wis
1tors crowded into the open space out
side: Pads of paper and everything
else that was loose were gathered up
and hurled through the air, hats were
used as missiles, great showers of COL
ored paper were thrown here and there,
| and the din was greater than it is even
In panic. Dozens of young men form
| ed circles about older men in the game
| of "bull in the ring
At this moment appeared a great
push ball, six feet in diameter, which
was sent spinning across the floor,
only to be hurled back again, bowling
over men in it's fight. To and fro went

THE IMPORTANCE OF COTTON.


The immense value and Importance
of cotton as factor in the world IS
commercial and industrial progress
/ is hardly realized by the people who
are most interested in the production
| of the staple, says the Nashville Ban
ner, The very great part of which is
raised in the South The Manufact-
nrers' Record, in recent issue, gives
some figures comparing the value
of the cotton and the gold and silver
production of the world The to-
1900 to the end of 1905 is estimated
at s2,974 100000. while the com
bined value of the gold and silver
production was 2.5S1, $50 900.
This shows a cotton valuation of
1895, $4,000 in excess of the gold
and silver production. Commenting
on this showing the Record says:
What it means for the South to hold
a practical monopoly of the worlds
cotton production is not generally
appreciated nor the potentiality of
this fully grasped. Destroy corn
and YOU could find a substitute; de-
stroy wheat, and other grains would
furnish bread for mankind, but cut
short the South s cotton crop by one
half, and the financial and CONNER
cial world would stagger; destroy
cotton, and civilization would be halt
ed Earth has no substitute for
cotton Cotton, the South's crown of
glory is the basis of the greatest in
dustry of the world; it is the one
staple which enters into every
civilized life; il is needed in the pal
ace of the king as we'll as in the hum
blest hui of the peasant: ii is the
glistening sail alike of the royal
pleasure yacht and the ship of com
merce; ii is an essential in the hos
pital, where it makes possible the
surgery of the day, as it is on the
tented battlefield: it is the base of

Judge Palker's Address.

Judge Parker's address before

phase of human thought and con-
duct, when there are already on
the books and have been for gene
rations and centuries enough laws
to meet all the requirements of
the human lace. The evil is an
ever present one. It is difficult
to understand how the most stu
dious lawyer can keep the run of
the new laws and the amend
ments to the old ones, even those
