DECLINE IS NOTED
 IN MEAT PRICES General Receipts Unusually
 Light Yesterday MEAT DEMAND IS STRONG Better Tone Noted In Fruit and Produce Market-POultry and
 Eggs Continue To He
 Rather Dull

The changes in meat quotations yes terday show a considerable decline in prices, which has been awaited by the public since the radical fall in Chi cago several weeks past. Smoked hams are now quoted at 15 1sc; bacon, fancy, 25c bacon. medium, 23c; pork loins, 4c; ham butts, 13hc Other changes In yesterdays quotations were apples. fancy, s5 to SC. and tangerines, per box, s4.
 There was practically no change in the tone of the markets yesterday, ac cor1lng to the reports of the merchants Receipts were unusually light during the day and the only new arrivals noted were enc car each of flour and hay in the market for flour and feed stuffs.
 The market for fruits and produce was somewhat stronger than Tuesday i; there was still a strong demand for flour and feedstuffs. The market for poultry and eggs continues dull on account of the cold weather, while the market for meats has become almost bare on supplies, owing to a strong demand and delayed shipments.

VERY SMALL GAIN
 IN COTTON PRICES Business For the Day Is Of
 Little Importance BUYERS ARE LIMITED After Some Early Liquidation the Market Rallies On Covering
 and the Close Shows an
 Advance
 
BUYERS ARE LIMITED

New York, December 1.-The cotton market was very quiet today with notn- ing of sufficient importance in the way of news to inspire fresh business prior to the publication of the government re- ports. The close was steady at a net advance of to points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 4 points in re- sponse to steady cables. There was some little scattering liquidation, however, and during the early trading there was also some selling by local professionals. Prices sold off to a net loss of to points in consequence. but no long cotton ap- peared to be coming out and a little later the market rallied on covering by early sellers and a little support from the bulls who appeared to be confident of @ bullish government estimate. There was nc broadening of the demand on the ad- vance and subsequent fluctuations were irregular. with the market closing a point or two off from the. top under scattering liquidation.
 The report of the census bureau giving the amount of cotton ginned to Decem- Der 1 is expected at the opening tomor- rom.
 The trade is talking a crop of 1ooOo, 600 bales or little more. Receipts at the ports today. 62.671 bales. against S1 ,57o last week and 8. 492 last year. For the week, 900 bales, against 42s, ,6S6 last week and 191,- 5e5 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 14,7S7 bales. against 5263 last year, and at Houston, 10,409 bales, against 6335 last year.

CHANGES IN LAW OF
 CATHOLIC CHURCH

New York, December Exchanges in the church as promulgated by Pope Plus were announced to the clergy of the Archdiocese of New York today at the triennial synod held at St. Patrick s cathedral. More than 500 priests at- tended
 The most important decree is the max lea cura," decided upon by the consis- torial congregation at Rome, which takes from the bishop or archbishop of a dio- cese or arch diocese, respectively, the power to remove pastor. Hereafte the power of removal will rest with the de amotione parochi," which consists of six priests besides the archbishop.
 Nine reasons for the removal of priest have been decided upon by the consis- torial congregation at Rome AS an pounced they are:
 Perpetual insanity. such unfitness ar ignorance as rendered him incapable of performing his duties; permanent physi- cal or mentaN infirmlties; the animositv of the people when it renders his work useless and is likely to continue: loss of reputation; hidden crime; bad admin istration: gross negligence continued after warnings and disobedience of the bishop If continued after one or two warnings.
 Another change announced in the canon laws of the church is that pertaining to the age at which children may receive first holy communion. > Heretofore 1t has been the custom among priests In the English speaking countries not to admin ister the sacrement unless child is be- tween the ages of 10 and 12
 The decree issued makes 1t imperative for priests the world over to prepare chil- cren so they may receive the first sacra- ment upon attaining the age of reason. which is z. and in some cases G.

CANNED EGGS SEIZED
 BY FEDERAL OFFICERS

Chicago, December Limited States marshals today seized 5000 pounds of canned eggs shipped into Chicago and which United States District Attorney Sims charged were spoiled. He asserted that a test of one teaspoonful of the sub stance showed the presence of 34,000, ,O0O bacteria, of which at least 100000 were of the gas producing variety.
 District Attorney Sims declared that it was the beginning of a federal crusade asainst spoiled eggs, both 'canned" and desslcated, which the government officials claim are being shipped here by the ton an6 sold in the middle west and east.

Decline Occurs Before Noon Under Humiliation But Nearly All the Lost Ground Is Finally
 Recovered

New York, December 7.-Prices moved irregularly in the stock market today, md while net changes were unimport- 5 ant, the halting undertone reflected condition borne largely of an absence of \ investment demand A heavy opening $ Twas followed immediately by a smart rally, but before noon, the list was again under pressure and prices made new low records for the movement. In the later session practically all the lost ground Twas recovered fully, but the market then igelapsed into extremely dullness, which Acontinued to the end.f Further digestion of the Presidents message seems to have lconvinced Wall streets sober element |lthat the recommendations contained there | in are entirely in accordance with the I lconservatism so often expressed by the administration and for the best interests of the financial, commercial and indus trial world.
 | There was a recurrence of rumors deal ing adversely with the state of trade in various lines. but notwithstanding. that the present period is one of the dullest of the year there exists well defined impression that the propaganda of pessimism is being overdone in many quarters The private rate of discount ]. in London was lower and brokers here with foreign connections received ad- l vices intimating that another reduction in the bank rate is not improbable Bull gaon amounting to almost $SoO,0OO was received by the Bank of England from an undisclosed source. Foreign exchange here indicates a further transfer of loans to London.
 Local trading for that market was in- significant with some buying of United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
 More shipments of currency to the south for the account of local banks were made through the subtreasury and the drain already sustained should in the natural course of events make for an- other loss of cash by the associated
 banks.
 An official statement giving the condi- ton of the state banks as of November 1G last show these institutions have in- creased their loans and discounts since
 September by about S5,700,00O, while total deposits in the same period have in- creased over $49 00O,0O0. Total resources of the banks increased from $5S1, ,S25,000 to S610 142, 900.
 Trade authorities report a slackening
 demand for copper and the monthly
 statement of the copper producers to be issued tomorrow will probably show this reversal.
 Exports to Europe are believed to have
 kept pace with the large shipments made in October.

WHEAT DECLINES ON ACREAGE REPORT
  Largest Crop Ever Planted Is Now In the Ground
PRICES GO DOWNWARD
Continued Selling Makes Corn Weak and the Close Shows Slight Loss-Oats Close Lower.
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, December With the govern ment report today showing the largest acreage ever seeded to winter wheat in the United States, the market here took a decided bend downward The close was weak at net loss of 1k0ssc. Corn fin- ished AQasc to 1ac off. Oats at 1s@hc decline and hog products unchanged to 171Ec up.
 Although the government figures put the condition of wheat 13.3 points lower than a year ago, the fact that the s2S,0Oo more acres had been seeded than were estimated proved too much of a shock for the many holders. Commission houses immediately began selling and the pro- cess continued the rest of the day. The low condition had been looked for and had been acted on beforehand. May ranged from 96ssc to 97ssc, with last sales 5Sc down at 96Ac.
 Continued selling in a moderate way by important interests gave corn bear ish turn. The effect would have been more pronounced but for the fact that country dealers were unwilling to con tract for time shipments. May fuctu- ated between 47Ac and 4S1s@4s14c. closing easy at 47&c. net loss of 15c. Cash corn was weak. No. yellow finished at 52Q 5211c.
 The oats market went off under hedging. In addition, the declaring regular of an elevator which contains a large percent age of the local stocks made many bears. May sold from 8414@34asc to S44sc and in the end was 1sQAc net lower at S43sc.
 Purchases by Milwaukee and Chicago packers led to material advance in provisions, but much of the gain disap- peared through realizing and because of the weakness In corn. When the pit was cleared pork showed a 1561714c rise, lard was unchanged to 21ac higher and ribs were dearer by 21zc to 21k@5c.

New orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. December 7.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of to points on favorable cables. The extremely cold weather over the south ano the continued drouth in Texas caused some buying after the call and prices made a slight response. Letters from Texas complained that the drouth was becoming serious and that cotton plant CTS were fearing another season like the last two, when lack of winter rainfall wao against the crop from the start. It was waiting market with opinion di- vided we'll over the coming bureau re- ports. At the end of the first hour of trading the active months were to 4 points up.
 The steady tone in the early trading and around the middle of the morning brought forth some little liquidation from the long side and the market was unable to absorb the offerings with the result that the more active months were put 1 to points under yesterdays close.

New York. December 7.-(Special )-The same transactions as yesterday char aoterized the market today until the last half hour, when brokers thought to rep resent the large long interests were free buyers. This led to the belief that pos sibly the estimates current during the past week of the ginners figures for the period were too large and that when the government published its estimate to- morrow it would be less than 10000, GOO and would bring about sharp advance Until this demand appeared the market had been quiet and slightly lower, the desire being to have little interest over the next two days.
