OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Blues in Boston. (Boston Transcript.)

Something of the pomp, pride and circumstances of glorious war as 1t used to be departed with the Richmond Blues. Their uniform Is reminiscent of the days in this country when the soldier was picturesque. In Europe that day has not entirely passed, for while armies In the field are soberlv clad, on parade they are still chromat- ically splendid. A great review abroad Is feast of color and glitter that ap- peals not only to the eye of the artist, but to that desire for fnery that Is per ennial in the human heart. Uniforms such as we never see in this country are common enough abroad Thus the kaiser In conducting the German guard maneuvers wears the green uniform of

the Market Closes Above

New York, November 24-The cotton
market was nervous and irregular today,
with the close steady at a net decline of
to points Sales were estimated at
100000 bales.
The market opened barely steady at a
decline of l to points and during the
first hour sold off to net loss of to
points, owing to lower cables than ex-
pected the bearlsh estimate of the worlds
requirements by an English authority who
places the probable consumption of cotton
for the season at u. 165, 900 bales and local
bear pressure promoted by expectations
of pre-holiday realizing. Offerings were
very well taken at the decline, however,
with buying encouraged by bullish re-
ports from dry goods circuits, and dur
ing the afternoon the market developed
considerable strength on covering by
early sellers and support from Wall
street and southern bulls After selling
up to about the closing prices of last
night, with March and May showing a
net advance of point however the mar
ket again eased off and closed some or
points below the top, under scattered
realizing and a renewal of local bear
pressure.

Chicago, November A.-General rains in
the United States caused 1c decline in
wheat prices on the local exchange today,
but nearly all the loss was later regained
on covering by shorts, final quotations
being a shade higher to AQ9sc lower. Corn
and provisions closed weak and oats were

The wheat market opened weak with
prices ss@1k6D9sc lower. became still weak
er during the first part of the day, but
rallied in the final hour, and closed firm,
although December was still 14@ssc below
the previous close. Final quotations on
December were 81 .OS1z and on May 81 .0712,
The market was again a weather map af-
fair, similar to that of yesterday. but
differing from yesterday in that today the
early loss was practically regained before
the end of the session. According to the
weather bureau precipitation had been al
most general between the Appalachian
mountains and the Pacific coast and the
indications were for rain tonight. The
market was also depressed by a decline of
I'D in Liverpool and by continued lib
era1 receipts in this country. Demand for
cash wheat at the sample tables here was
dull and prices were weak. st. Louis re-
ported that demand for cash wheat there
was exceptionally quiet. Export bust
ness aggregating 40 boatloads was report
ed as having been worked yesterday and
today. Clearances today were equal to
$4,000 bushels. The worlds visible supply
as shown by Bradstreet's increased 1885,
900 bushels Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of $40 cars, against
asa last week and 375 a year ago.
Corn was weak all day, owing partly to
the slump in wheat, but mainly to in
creased receipts and falling off in ship
ping demand Trade at the sample tables
was dull and some of the late arrivals
found a poor market at AQ12c decline.
The market closed weak, with prices a
shade lower with December 6Sa4c and May
at 6S@63hc. Total arrivals were 452 cars
with two of contract grade.
Trade in oats was dull and prices
f1uctuated over a 14c range.
Sentiment in the pit was a trifie bear
ish, owing to weakness in wheat and corn.
Cash grain concerns were moderate SELL
ing all day. Prices at the sample tables
were A@1kc lower. The market closed
steady with prices unchanged to 1se low
er, with December at 1890 and May at
4sssc. Local receipts were 2S7 cars.
Liquidation was general in provisions
nearly all day, because of continued enor-
nous receipts of live hogs at all western
packing centers. Total arrivals of hogs
today at these points were 127, 400 head,
compared with 1880 the corresponding
day a year ago. Some of the smaller
western packers were sellers of provisions.
Prices at the close were 10c to 25c lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow were
not available.

application for Listing Additional Com
mon Stock of Southern Pa
cific Gives Impetus To Trad
ing Resulting In the Rise.

New York, November 24.-Prices of
stocks advanced again today and the vol
ume of dealings expanded over the
shrunken total of yesterday, but without
getting back fully to the daily average
of last weeks transactions. The market
showed the effect of the technical causes
toward recovery from the outset of the
day, but the movement had shown signs
of tagging when a stimulating effect was
felt from the application to the stock ex-
change to list $74, 866, 400 additional South
ern Pacific common stock to be issued in
exchange for the preferred stock, which
is outstanding to that amount The pre-
ferred stock, while entitled to z per cent
prior to common stock dividend claims, Is
subject to redemption at lis, at any time
prior to July 1, 1910. 1t is also exchange
able for common stock up to that time.
As the common stock has never patti more
than per cent dividends and has sold
lower than the preferred stock, there has
been no attraction in the exercise of the
privilege of exchange. The price of the
stock has now risen above the reduction
price of the preferred stock, which Is lilo,
but still sells below the market price for
the preferred, which was 121B today. For
these reasons and because of the general
ignorance of the fact that this new stock
has been actually authorized the bare an
nouncement of the application to place 1t
on the list of the stock exchange had an
appeal as something of a mystery.
The step was an indication that some
actual demand was being made for South
ern Pacific common stock by preferred
stockholders, and there is the fact that
the Union Pacific holds in its treasury
ss4200 900 of the Southern Pacific pre-
ferred stock. thus liable to redemption at
1f5 or with the privilege OF conversion into
common stock A movement to convert
would imply a belief in higher dividend
for the common stock, while the pre-
ferred stock would remain limited to per
cent dividends. From the standpoint OF
Southern Pacific finances, however, the in
crease in the volume of common stock
with claims on increased dividends would
encroach on the claims to profit OF the
nresent common stockholders. The fact
that this addition of common stock mad

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 24.-(speeial)-
Each morning the advices from Liverpool
are not so good as expected from the
closing of our market, and the explana-
ton is given that 1t is due to the selling
by importers against purchases in the
south A small portion of these sales are
resold in New York, furnishing the sup
ply of cotton bought by the outside in
terests and the local traders who are very
bullish on the improving trade conditions
in America. Our cables state that the
Russian chancellor of the exchequer esti-
mates the Russian cotton crop at S46,OOo
bales, as against $4,000 last season.
The movement continues on a very large
scale with cotton pointing here for de-
livery on December, but the undertone
continues firm. under the buying by west
ern and Wall street houses which have
absorbed all of the hedge sales against
cotton. The short interest has been prac-
tically eliminated.
The spot market was quiet at 10 points
decline middling 9.45c.
