10000 Elephants q Year.

In spite Of the great demands OF the
arts and trades for ivory the quantity
imported at Antwerp, London, and
Liverpool, the principal markets of
the world, remains almost constant.
The total was 4S4 French tons in 1888
and 469 tons III 1908. In the year be-
tween it has been as high as 688 tons,
in 1900.
Antwerp, says the Boston Globe, was
unknown twenty years ago, but now
surpasses London in the size of its
trade owing to the opening Of the Con-
20 region.
Occasionally tusks are found weigh
ing $50 pounds, but one OF fifty pounds
is considered fine specimen. The
law in both India and Congo forbids
the export of tusks less than six
pounds.
But even allowing 100 pounds pair
the amount taken to Europe in year
means the death of more than 10000
elephants, probably twice that number,
for many elephants are killed that
yield no ivory, females, for instance.
The price at present varies from $1
to So a pound, according to quality.

NEW YORK, Jan. l2.-There was a fur

prices since the movement started early
last week. Panic-strlcken longs in all parts

cotton regardless of prices, and the action
Of the market showed such intense excite
ment and decentralization as finds a parallel
only in the series of sensational movements
following the collapse of the Sully boom.
For more than a year the cotton market
has been steadily advancing and toward
the end of last month prices had reached
a level which, since the civil war, had only
been equalled when Sully was at the height
of his fame, March contracts selling at
1910 and May at 1646c. But at the culmi-
mating point of today's decline March con-
tracts sold at l4.6Oc and May at 147Sc, a
loss from the high record of from S.s5 to
$40 per bale, almost all of which has
occurred during the last week.
The declines from the closing prices of
last night amounted to more than $3.50 per
bale.
There does not appear to have been any
change in general trade conditions to war
rant the almost unprecedented slump In
prices. 1t is apparent, however, that one

obtain profits on long lines, owing to the
approach OF the new planting season and
