HlLO, Dec. 81. -, The Republic
can county committee held meet
ing last Tuesday evening at which
arrangements were made Tor the,
Strengthening of the Organization
of the party in various ways. Chair
man Beers presided, while Assistant
Secretary b. ii. Brown acted as sec
rotary. .
The chairman reported that he
had appointed the provisional COM
mittee members as follows: Messrs.
Ross. Austin, Patten, Swain, Capel-
las. Alfonso and himself, and that
all these gentlemen had expressed
their willingness to serve.
Beers asked the county commit
tee whether 1t had any suggestions
to make for the provisional commit
tee to act upon, as that organization
would hold a meeting two weeks
from the night of the meeting. He.
stated that the Republican members
of the Board of Supervisors would
be invited to be present at the meet,
ing of the. provisional. committee.
A. NJ Cabrinha raised an objec-
tion to the appointment of two mem
bers from the same outside precinct,
namely of Ross and Capellas from
Hakalau, on the provisional commit.
tee. He gave as his reason the fact
that In cases where immediate ac-
ton was required, for instance, for.
the making of endorsements for the
filing of vacancies, these two men,
bers could not be depended upon to
be at the meeting as soon as It
| would be required.
Chairman Beers ruled that at the
meeting of the county committee,
when the matter of the membership
of the provisional committee had
been brought up, the selection there
. of had been left, to him as chairman.
and at that time the same objection
had been raised and had been over
ruled by the vote of the majority.
The membership would therefore re-
main unaltered.
Mr.. Bohnenberg moved that the
secretary be instructed to write to
the president and secretary of every
precinct club on the island stating
that their membership rolls were
wanted in order that when any va
cancy occurred in any Office under q
Republican administration, the same
conld be filed by picking out the
'most able men whose, names were
found on these rolls. :. This motion
carried
II A. NJ. Cabrinha moved that thu

feet that 1t was the sense of thu

of an increased dividend was the grounds for this movement.
 The passage of the year end period was felt to be desirable before attempting large market operations.
 The question of a gold movement to London was left open by the active de- mand for remittance in connection With year-end requirements. Exchange to go out by Wednesdays steamers commands a higher figure than demand bills, that date for sailing being the latest by which remittances can reach London for Jam uary 1 payments. Reports that London might also draw on Paris again for gold advances from the Bank of France dis turbed the confidence that tranquility in the London market had become dihnitely assured. The reduction in the premium of New York exchange at Chicago this week indicate less inducement here to draw funds from the interior although the Chicago money market itself Is reported easier
 The news of the absorption of independ- ent telephone companies by the banking house which has transacted recent finan- cing for the American Telephone company strengthened the impression of the unin- terrupted progress of the consolidation of corporate interests which is in progress, The increase in the Louisville and Nash vile dividend set up an uncertain flutter In the price of that stock, similar to the action of Reading and in contrast to the sustained strength of Southern Pacific, where dividend action Is in the rumor stage yet.

SLIGHT DECLINE IN COTTON MARKET Advance Is Made Early But the
 Gains Are Lost SOUTHERN SPOTS FIRM Bulls Buy Freely at the Opening But After Prices Reach High Level
 Selling Causes Some
 Decline.

New York, December 16.-There was aggressive support from the bull leaders in the cotton market early today. but offerings became heavier on moderate advance and prices lost their early gain with the close steady, net 1 point higher to points lower; active months being generally to ' points below the closing figures of last night.
 The market opened steady at declines Of 2 points to an advance of points and showed an advancing tendency during the early trading owing to steady Liverpool cables, reports of firm southern spot mar kets and confidence that the National Ginners' figures, due tomorrow, would point to a census report on Monday con firming the low estimates of the crop. Liverpool was a considerable seller here early. but offerings from this source fell off after the close of the English mar ket, while the big southern bulls bought more progressively than for several days past and the market was gradually work ed up until January sold at 15.04c and May at 15.73c, or 5 to points above the closing figures of last night. Around 15.7Oc for May. however, offerings Of long cotton became heavier and local bears sold little more freely, evidently be- lieving that some of the larger bulls were trying to reduce their lines after having supported the market earlier in the day. Prices eased off in consequence, reaching the lowest point late in the afternoon and closed within two or three points of the low on the active positions. Southern spots officially reported early were un- changed to sc higher. and private wires from several of the leading points report ed an improved demand.
 The market for Egyptian cotton in AL exandria closed 8 points higher. Receipts at the ports today, 24,24s bales, against 23,SS3 last week and 49,952 last year.
 For tn eweek, 2oo,ooO. against 1ssaS6 last week and 411,672 last year Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans, 4620 bales, against 13,767 last year. and at Houston 1,3O9 bales, against 12,32O last year.

VERY LITTLE LIFE IN STOCK MARKET Movement In Prices Is HaIting
 and Irregular NO INCENTIVE TO TRADE Market Is Waiting Until After the Hoii- days Before Any Great Activity Will Be Shown In Any of the
 Issues.
NO INCENTIVE TO TRADE

New York, December 16-Difficulty was found in throwing off the 1ethargic ten- dency which crept into the speculation In stocks today. The movement in prices was halting and irregular and there were long pauses in active trading when many stocks practically dropped out of the trading One Encouragement met by the trader who followed the sudden move- ments which have been developing in many obscure stocks is the sudden lapse of such securities into a dormant state. In semblance of great activity and breadth in the market with transactions in blocks up to 1000 shares there will sud- denly intervene withdrawal of all or ders. speculative holder of a small block on inquiry will learn that no bids stand in the market for his stocks for sev- eral points down. Forced sales under such circumstances caused wide breaches in values and give an impression of hol- lowness to the market and of manipula- tion for the short lived activity.
 The principal interest of the traders to- day was in attempting to draw deductions from the action of Reading as to the general speculative position. Yesterdays dividend increase did not induce sufficient new demand to lift the price. Adherents of the bull position derived considerable satisfaction In fact from the lightness of the pressure to realize on the good news. The increase in the dividend has been so long anticipated and the price lifted so high that violent reaction has been dreaded in some quarters when the action should be taken. As long ago as early September, Reading had risen to 1732s In anticipation of dividend increase and has not risen as high since. In January of 1906 when the stock was newly placed on the per cent basis, which 1t has held ever since, the price was run up to 164 on the expectation of an early additional increase In view of the prolonged and constant speculative use which has been made of the higher dividend expectation for Reading, the re- actionary force in the stock today must be regarded as extremely moderate. Its influence for depression on the general list, therefore was slight or even in a general way favorable. A more positive factor towards sympathetic strength was the demand for the high priced western railroad stocks, especially Southern and Union Pacific on the professed expectation

NEW HIGH RECORDS IN WHEAT MARKET Gain of Oyer Two Gents Is
 Made In Price BULLS ARE VERY ACTIVE Bulge In Wheat Causes Strong Tone In. Corn and Market Closes at an Advance-oats and Provisions
 Also Close Strong.
BULLS ARE VERY ACTIVE

Chicago, December 16.-Nvheat for De- cember delivery sold here today at s1.141s per bushel, new high record for the crop and a gain of 21kc com pared with the previous close. The more distant deliveries also advanced sharp ly owing to bullish news from Argen- tina. Corn and oats were affected by the strength of wheat and closed strong Provisions also made material. gains.
 The new high point in wheat was reached late in the day. during a period marked by considerable bullsh enthu- siasm. Buying was general during the final hour and prices were forced up. The greatest gain was In December de- livery which was in urgent demand by shorts who bid the price up from n12ss to A.14B. May advanced from s109st0D $1.os% to s111aa.11z.
 An advance of more than 1c in the price of wheat at Buenos Ayres seemed to give color to the reports of serious damage to the Argentine crop by the recent frost and this was a factor in late trading here. Advances at north western markets also helped to aug. ment bullish sentiment. The market closed at almost the highest prices with December at s1.14% and May at S.11N @1.11%.
 The bulge in wheat offset the effect of a drop of temperature over the corn belt and caused a strong tone in the corn market during the final hour of the day.
 The bearish showing of the government crop induced renewed profit taking early in the day which resulted in declines of more than half cent in all deliv- cries. All of the loss, however, was re- gained late in the day and the market closed firm at almost the top.
 Oats were weak early in the day owing to selling brought out by the govern ment report which indicated the new crop to be the largest on record. The advance in wheat, however, caused a substantial rally in the final hours
 Prices at the close were saade to 3sc higher.
 Provisions were strong all day owing to covering by shorts. The demand for the January products was especially ur- gent. Light receipts of live hogs and the firmness of grain were the chief bull ish influences. Prices at tho close were 171z945c higher.
 Cash quotations were as follows:
