New York. December 1o-Dun & Co. will say tomorrow:
 The advent of the holidays and the close of the year naturally curtails operations in most primary markets. though retail trade correspondingly augmented, and every indication points to very large distribution of merchandise
 The difficulty experienced by the steel mills in making prompt deliveries isj the cause for some abatement in demand for finished products, while the Hull in pig iron buying is becoming more pro- nounced. production rapidly overriding consumptive requirements.
 Cotton goods are steadier and larger purchases of gray goods have been made on contract. The Fall River wage sched- ules have been continued on the basis of g per cent above normal, and the wage agreement will be continued for another six months. Jobbers are buying in very limited way and are taking their semi annual inventories. The acceptance of all goods on order and anticipation of many December shipments are regarded as very promising signs for the future Advance business for spring now being charged is better than advance orders taken in the past four jobbing seasons
 Fall openings on woolens and worsteds are being announced, but at higher prices
 The imminence of the government cot ton report held trade somewhat in check most of the week, but there is very gen. eral disposition to move conservatfvely in view of the sustained high position of raw cotton.

POP ANSON WANTS
 THE PRESIDENCY

New York, December 10.-Charles w. Murphy, president of the Chicago Na- tional league club, arrived in New York today with the announcement that he was in favor of John M. Ward as pres ident of the National league for the sea- son of 1910. MT. Murphy said that he had nothing against John Heydler, the pres ent president, personally. but that he considered Ward the right man for the position.
 Murphy denies that Chicago capital was furnished to consummate the re- cent sale of the Philadelphia Nationals and says that so far as he knows the new owners of the Philadelphia club have not pledged themselves fd vote for either Heydler or Ward.
 Murphy and Garry Hermann of Gin cinnati, chairman of the national com mission, are the only out-of-town club owners who have arrived. Hermann is a strong adherent of Heydler.
 Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburg will reach New York tomorrow night. Stanley Robison, owner of the St. Louis club, will arrive Sunday.
 Adrian c. Anson, former manager of the Chicago Nationals, 1t here and he conferred today with Hermann relative to the chances he had of being selected president in case of a deadlock. Herr mann told him that he would vote for Heydler even If seven other ballots were cast for Ward and that the Hermann Dreyfus faction would not consider compromise candidate.

 COTTON GROWERS

Washington December 10-secretary of War Dickinson today promised to act fav- orably on a recommendation of import ance to the entire cotton industry of the United States from grower to mill man. It means that after the recommend ation is made the war department will use cotton in preference to gunny or jute for the sacks in which it's supplies are transported The number of sacks used for such purposes amounts to hundreds of thousands year. The present regula- ton for sacks specifics either cotton or jute' %
 For some time the National Farmers union, particularly the Farmers union of northwest Texas. has been working to have the regulations modified to give cotton preference. Today R. D. Bowen, chairman of the executive committee Of the Texas union, with several congress- men from the south, urged the Secre- tary's indorsement of cotton, and the Sec retary gave his assurances that he is in favor of cotton, strictly an American product, over jute, which comes largely from abroad.

AUTO SPEEDING. IS
 CAUSE OF DEATH


 Mexico City, December 10.-To automo- bile speeding physicians declare was due the death here today of McKie Walker, one of the most widely known Americans in this city. The immediate cause of Walkers death was given as capillary bronchitis, aggravated by heart trouble. Walker was an automobile en- thusiast and had made many record runs to outlying points. Attending physicins declared that the constant exhilaration of fast driving caused the blood to flow faster than normal through the valves of the heart had hardened the muscles about the organ and that this condition acted against the recovery of the patient when he was attacked by bronchitis. Walker was 26 years old and was born at Salado, Tex.

SERIOUS DROUGHT
 IN YIRGINIAS

Winchester, Va, December 10-The drought which prevails in northern vir- ginia, West Virginia and Maryland has become 50 serious as to occasion alarm. No rain of any consequence has fallen for six months. Streams are going dry which were never known to fail before, while the drying up of wells and cisterns neces- sitates the hauling of water for miles i1 many instances.
 Wheat is making but little growth ow- ing to the entire lack of moisture in tho soil.
 The powerhouses along the river courses are seriously handicapped. They are un- able to furnish the motive force demand- ed and are compelled to shut down a part of each day to accumulate sufficient head of water to drive the turbines:
