THE JURY DISAGREED.
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.

A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.
An old time story Of the fine points
Of law and equity which arose in car
rying out an anicable contract is told
in the Philadelphia Record, There
were four brothers who had inherited
Il storage warehouse from their father.
He had divided the property equally
among them.
Among the appurtenances was cat
"a fine animal, excellent for housing
This, too, was divided, the eldest
brother owning the right front quar-
ter, the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters,
Now, unfortunately, the cat in one
of its nocturnal prowls injured the
right front paw, and the eldest
brother attended to that portion OF his
property by binding the injured mem
Der with creased rag.
The cat, thankful for this relief to
its sufferings, went to sleep content
edly before the fire, but In the midst
of its slumbers a falling coal ignited
the rag, and the animal. bowling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and, coming in contact with some com
bustibles, set the building on ire
When the loss came to be figured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw 1t all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part of the cat with the inhammable
rag the building would not have Deen
destroyed.
He, on the contrary. contended that
had the cat only been possessed OF the
front right paw-his property-it
would have stood still and burned to
death. It was the three other paws
that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case until
thew died. but they never reached an
agreement

UNCERTAINTY RULES TIE COTTON MARKET With Two Holidays Ahead
 Prices Are Wavering CLOSE IS SLIGHTLY OFF Renewal of Scattering Liquidation Af- fects the Market Early and After
 Some Slight Recovery Prices
 Again Weaken
CLOSE IS SLIGHTLY OFF

New York, December 2e-with the cot- ton market closed Saturday until Tues day morning and with more or less uary notices tomorrow. trading in fu- lures was not active today. but, despite some irregularities, prices ruled generally steady with the close steady to s points lower.
 The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decline of 2 points. near positions being higher in sympathy with steady cables and as a result of over night buying orders attracted by the firmer tone of yesterdays late trading. The later months. however, reflected a renewal of scattering liquidation and To- cal bear pressure, while during the first minutes the whole list ruled rather easy, showing a net loss of about to points soon after the call.
 It appeared that leading spot inter- ests were buying January on the de- cline and there was also covering by Wall street shorts and with numerous southern advices reaching the trade claiming a better demand for spot and a sharp falling off in receipts from plan tations since Christmas. prices rallied during the middle of the day
 After selling up to net gain of about 4 to points or nearly A of a cent above the low level of yesterday, there was renewed realizing and reactions occurred from the best in the late trading. Near months continued Relatively steady dur ing the entire day and the final gains were shown by December and January. Private cables reported quiet market at Liverpool and the approach of the holi- days also semed an influence there as all three of the big contract markets will be closed on Saturday and Monday. Southern spot markets officially reported early were generally unchanged. A num- ber of wires were received from the eastern belt claiming a good demand for export at the best basis of the season. and the buying of January contracts hore by spot houses seemed to partially re- assure the trade as to the extent of the January notices expected tomorrow.

DECIDED STRENGTH
 DEVELOPS IN WHEAT
Prediction of Cold Wave Has
 Very Adverse Effect
THE BULLS BUY HEAVILY
Corn Advances on Foreign Buying Be- cause of Reports of n Short Argen- tine Crop-Oats Advance;
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, December 29.-Because of a cold wave predicted for exposed winter crop states and on account of Manitoba export rumors, wheat today developed decided strength The close was firm at the top prices of the season with a net advance of 1@11sc. Latest sales of corn showed gain of 5sQAc, as com pared with last night: oats a rise of Ac to ss@1ac and provisions varying from 21hc to Dc decline to an increased cost of 71a@10o.
 There was big buying of wheat and corn by the leading bulls. Primary re- ceipts were small, notably in the north west, and there was reason for believing that sales of cash wheat here were larger than reported. Talk of reduced estimates on the Argentine crop had considerable effect, and so also did mention of better demand In European centers. For a while, however, suspicion existed that some of the strength on the other side was the result of well directed orders from bull leaders in America. Hesitaney, too, had a pretext In rains on the fall sown fields except those of western Ne hraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. State ments, though, that 90 boatloads of Mani- toba wheat had been booked for export. had a tonic effect. Purchases for prom inent houses took on large proportions, and in the last half of the day made the market almost buoyant. The May option ranged from 9614d96ssc to STAG, closing 11bc net higher at 97zc.
 Foreigners were said to be buying corn here today in consequence of alleged losses to the Argentine crop. Further more, wet weather in this country was found to diminish farmers sales. Ap- parently. based on these conditions, pur- chases for local account reached huge total, two houses alone taking moro than 100000 bushels.
 Cash corn did not follow the upturn in futures. No. 9 yellow finished at 46G 461sc.
 Oats made fair response to the bulge In other grains. Trade however. did not increase to a like degree. May sold from 33Ac to 34Ac and in the end was aso net higher at 3S1s@3SAc.
 Provisions were active but quite irreg- ular.
 Stock yards traders did the best buy ing Selling, though, was liberal on the swells. When the day ended pork was left the same as last night to 71sc high CT. Lard up 21kc to 71x@1oc and ribs at 211Q5c decline to Dc advance.
 Future quotations were as follows:
