THE THREE SPECIES OF MOOSE
Expressed in External Features as H.
ustrated in the Adult Male.

EXpTeSScd IN External Features as IL
Illustrated in the Adult Male.
There are supposed to be three
species of Moose: The European
moose or elk, found in northern Eu-
rope and adjoining parts of Asia:
the common moose of eastern Ameri-
ca, distinguished chiefly from it's Lu-
ropean congener by the skull being
narrowed across the maxillaries, also
by it's greater size and darker color,
and the Alaskan moose, separated by
It's giant stature. its narrow Occupit,
broad palate and heavy mandibles.
Expressed in external features as
illustrated in the adult male always
best for differentiating species):
The Scandinavian elk is a small
gray animal with little palm and many
spikes on it's antlers
The Canadian is large black ani-
NAL with much palmation and always
separate brow bunch of spikes. ]
have seen hundreds of Canadian
moose antlers, but never a pair that
did not show well-developed separ-
ate group of prOngs in front Of each
brow. | have seen score or more
OF Swedish, but never saw one that
did have a separated brow group
Of prongs. though | confess I have
seen figures Of SUCH
The Alaskan is d richly colored
black, gray and brown giant, not
only the largest deer alive today, but
believed to be the largest that ever
did exist, since no fossil has been
found to equal it in bulk. Its ant
lers differ chiefly in size from those
OF the Canadian moose, but Mr.. Mad.
ison Grant claims that they are also
more complex and have in the brow
antlels second PLANTATION which is
set at right angles to that of the main
PLANTATION. In these peculiarities, he
finds, "a startling resemblance is
shown to the extinct Cervalces,
moOse-like deer Of Pleistocene times,
probably ancestral to the genus Alces
''If. this resemblance indicates any
close relationship, we have in the
Alaskan moose survivor of the arch
afc type from which the true moose
and Scandinavian elk have somewhat
degenerated. Ernest Thompson Ser

 New Orleans. Dee. 27, 1906
 There was no special occurrence during the holidays to benefit either side in cot ton Dull and easier Liverpool, and New York markets called for a lower opening here this morning Continued weakness of direct cause of promised tenders Is the ruling feature. and. combined with the heavy movement. the principal obstruction to improvement Port receipts for the last five days amount to 201,517 against 123,o43 last year. Semi-weekly statement shows receipts 134,595 vs. s1,0Is. Shipments. 13o,- AIS, against 57.S3o. The excess in receipts is nearly all Houston and St. Louis, which shows they consist of cotton moving to consumption and not to market. For this reason these very large figures and unfavor- able comparisons have only a relative moral effect. Thee were some spots sold during the holidays. mostly staple. Trading in futures settled around 990 for March. They are naturally quiet in all departments dur ing this holiday week.
 Futures in the afternoon weakened fur ther on less satisfactory spot demand The small holiday demand is not sufficient to absorb what little cotton has been sold on orders from the interior, and concession therefore became the rule. Outlay larger and more varied, with a better propor- ton of good cotton. Although conditions were not unfavorable there was no bear pressure in futures. which Is probably due to the prevailing belief that dullness over the new year Is responsible for the pres ent state of affairs

Opening Was Steady at Decline in Response
 to Lower Cables and EasedOn,


 New York, Dec. 27.--The cotton market was rather easy and unsettled during to- days trading a result of local pressure in the absence of general business or bull support. The close was steady at a net decline of e@9 points. Sales were estimated at 150.000 bales. The market opened steady at decline of 1@S points, in sym. pathy with lower cables. Prices soon eased of to a net decline of 70s points under scattering buying and selling by some of the local bears, but steadied around 9. .05c for January, and toward midday rallied to about the opening figures on the Idea that the recent active switching from January to later months was likely to lead to small January notices tomorrow. But there was no snap to the buying on the slight up- turn. and the market weakened again in the afternoon, when prices reached a new tow level for the session and were within two or three roints the lfwest of the ses- sian. A renewal of the covering toward the closs imparted a steady tone to the market, but iast prices were only a few points up from the lowest

 New Orleans. Dec. 27.--After four days suspension of business, trading re- suued today but at the expense of values the market having lost dozen points or so since the closing of last Friday. Until the opening of American markets this morning, Liverpool maintained steady un- dertons, but weakness developed at New York and was reflected in lower market locally.
 The movement to market continued ports thus far this week being about 245.- 900, last year 164.000. year before last 204,0OO. and was as much responsible for the easier feeling as was the fear of heavy tenders to be made on January contracts at New York tomorrow. Advices from the Northern market are to the effect that livered. but the impression prevails that they will be cared for. otherwise prices would have probably worked lower Con sequently 1t remains to be seen whether the cotton will be accepted or forced liqui- dation of the January position will be re-
 News from the spot department offered no encouragement, this branch of the busI- ness having experienced but little activity since last week. with no recuperative pow CT in evidence today. the market being un- officially quoted quiet and lower to sell, demand small, offerings more liberal and 1t is probable that prices may be reduced There are no prospects for a let-up in re- ceipts for while yet, shipments for the half week at thirteen towns amounting to lSO,oo0 against 77,0oO year ago and 61,- 900 year before last. and 1t is probable that the movement since Sept 1 win equal that of the big crop of 1904 by the end of this week. such neavy shipments be- come all the more significant when 1t is nted that receipts at the same primary points continue on the same colossal scale. | 135.0o0, last year 61.000. year before last s9,O0O. In this connection. the next cen gus report on quantity of cotton ginned to Jan. 1 is brought under discussion longs | having contended that there was a larger | OerceOtaKe reDreaented ba bales ginned to Dec. 13 than ever before, | which, however. is not probable for the reason that the next bulletin will probably show much more ginned Dec. 1S to Jan. than last years 426.O0O bales, the daily ginnings of which period only averaged about 2s.OOO bales for the fifteen working days. which was the average daily ginnings of the last period of this year, was 1O7.00o bales per day.
