LITTLE DONE ON
 STOCK MARKET
With New Session of Con- gress Yesterday and MT.
 Taft's Message Today

New York, December 4.--With new session of Congress today and a pres Jdential message for tomorrow to in fluence. trading stocks did little today Not many issues moved. When trade was begun the market looked heavy on account of small declines among some of the speculative leaders. Prices soon rose to about saturdays close but during the afternoon drifted down. ward again slowly Before the close the demand increased, however prob- ably on account of short covering aud the declines were largely made up.
 The hesitation shown by the market at the time of the convening of Con gress was not due to recognition of the fact that at this session legisla- sion of great concern 10 the business Interests of the country is to be con sidered. The question of governmental control of corporations, revision of tar If, sale of securities by railroads as taken up by the Hadley commission, end proposals for currency legislation, all probably will come up for discus sion and it is generally believed that the dominant interests in the stock market will be slow to take a decided position until it Is possible to gain some idea of the probable trend of events a Washington.
 Recent discussion of the trust prob lem and hearings by committees from Congress have served to heighten the interest which is felt over the actiT- lilies of the natiopal legislators this winter. Retirement of the old standard oil mana cement and the suit today at Buffalo had only an indirect bearing upon the securities market and found likewise no reflection in the move ment of prices. Standard oil closed unchanged at 630 bid after announce ment of the change. The stock never has been listed on the stock exchange, being traded in on the curb. Its high price has restricted speculation in it.
 It is generally understood that the change was largely nominal and tha; the men who within the last few years had been gradually taking over the work of the older officers, would con- tinue in active control
 The unexpectedly poor showing of the bank statement Saturday was reflect cd in the time money market, Rates for 60 and 90 days were higher and there was a better inquiry. Call money was easier, some loans being made at as low figure as 1 per cent as compared with the maximum of per cent in the latter part of last week.
 The huge loss in cash by the banks last week which was four or five times the<amount indicated by preliminary estimates, was not entirely explained. Although December interest and div idend payment probably were largely responsible bankers gave as further reason a considerable reduction of cash held here for banks outside of New York.
 Some of the southern stocks were strong with Louisville and Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line making the better sains.
 Bonds were irregular; business was broad and dealings in the New York Tractions continued on large scale Total sales, par value, s5.066,000 Unit cd States bonds unchanged on call

WORK WILL BE
 CLOSELY WATCHED
UnderwO0d's Friends Anx- iously Awaiting Outcome
 of Present Session

Cullman December 4.--(Special.)- The friends of Oscar Underwood in Cullman gre anxiously waiting the out
 come of the present session of Congress This anxiety on the part of MT. Under woods friends here is brought about by the prominence given his name for the democratic nomination for presi-
 dent.
 MT. Underwood has many admirers in Cullman and throughout this county who have espoused his cause and who will have no second in the choice for the nomination. Should his career in this session of Congress be successful, and should the stinguished leader make no mistake during the session, he will go down in history as the great est leader of the age, say some of his closest friends here,
 There is no reason why he should not be elected if given the nomination. Close political observers here declare i that the feeling that once existed be- | tween the north and the south result Ing from the civil war has been dis | pelled and they declare that the peo- | nle of the north and eastern states are l willing to vote for MT. Underwood to | show that such a feeling does not exist | toward the south.
 | In speaking of the matter Colonel St. John. one of MT. Underwood's personal | friends. said: 'The south has always 1 been it's own worst enemy along this | line. The only reason why there has
 never been a president from the south
 ern states in so many years is because
 the southern people have never pushed 1 their claims. fearing to do so on ac- count of feeling that has never eX- l isted, at least, in many years. l be- lieve that oscar Underwood is the logi- cal man and if given the nomination l
 sincerely believe that he will sweep l the country.'

New, Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 4.-Cotton flu lures opened steady, points up to ? points off, compared with Saturdays close. Cables were about as expected. The near months received fairly good support on the call but crop estimate of practical ly 15,0O00O0 bales, exclusive of linters, from prominent crop reporting bureau stim- ulated selling before the call was over and caused the latters position to weaken, The weather over the cotton belt con- tinued cold. but little attention was paid to weather reports.

 The slight decline stimulated profit talk ing by shorts and by the middle of the morning buying from this source was the strongest influence of the day. Senti- ment around the ring was bearish, es- pecially after the report by prominent private crop reporting bureau that 12,S00
