STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STRONG
BY Associated Press.

New York. Dec. lathe level of prices
was barely disturbed at the opening Of
the stock exchange today. Trading was
light with majority Of the active issues
showing a slightly easier tendency.
The market moved In irregular fashion
in the first hour. Speculation became
heavy after the opening. United States
Steel was bid up TO 81 ga, which caused
some temporary fir1nness in other quar-
down again with most of the leading
stocks selling from Ia point to point
below yesterdays closing.
Price movements were narrow through
out the night Bearish sentiment was
encouraged by the quick collapse of the
vigorous bull movement with which the
movement began and the drift of prices
was downward.
United States Steel ruled slightly above
yesterdays close The buying of this
stock was stimulated by further reports
of bearish trade conditions.
Buying orders were distributed around
the low range of prices and the market
was made up of these small fractions.
Accumulation Of United States Steel
at rising prices had a stimulating effect
on the market and there was more activ-
ity among railroad stocks. United States
Steel reached 65, the highest figures for
several weeks.
The market closed strong. The whole
list was galvanized into action by enorm-
Gus purchases of United States Steel
stock changed hands frequently, lifting
its price ga to 66 IA. the highest figure
since the decline to 90.
Pool operators bid up various other
specialties and there was large demand
for the representative stock.

STATE COLLEGE
Special to The Journal.

Tallahassee, Dec. 13.-Thanksgiving
was duly observed at the college in
it's serious relation as well as a day
of recreation. A number of persons
attended the Thanksgiving service at
the Methodist church, and enjoyed
Rev. Adcock's sermon. A large number
of students "dined out among their
friends in town. Several faculty mem
bers attended a picnic at Lake Brad
ford. All who remained at the college
enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at East
hall.
In the evening. the Minerva club
gave a very delightful Aunt Dinah's
Quilting Party at Bryan hall. The
decorations consisting principally OF
corn, were very artistic as well as ap-
propriate. The columns of the rotunda
were ornamented with stalks of corn,
and in the center of the floor stood
a genuine corn shack" In the sun
parlor was stretched a quilt upon
quilting frames where the young
ladies tested the agility of the fingers
of their young men friends with the
needle and thread. To see who could
quilt the best" was the order of the
occasion: but the gentlemen so far ex-
ceeded all expectations that no decis-
ion could be reached. Ginger ale and
gingerbread were served for refresh
ments-

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, Dec. 1S.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of to points
on poor cables First prices were the
lowest in the early trading as heavy buy
ingstarted immediately after the call and
absorbed the rather free offerings. Ru-
NOR said that large shorts were still
covering, but some brokers were of the
opinion that large interests were taking
the long side for a turn. The weather
map was more unfavorable than other
wise, as some little rain was shown in the
cotton region, At the end of the first
half-hour of business, prices were 1 to 2
points over yesterdays close.
Buying of good character was in evil
dence around the middle of the morning
1t was said that western interests were
large purchases. For the first time in
weeks good buying orders for long ac-
count came in. For a while commission
houses were busy and prices were put 4
to 6 points over yesterdays last quota
tions. This moderate rise tempted profit
taking by scalping longs and their offer
ings resulted at noon in drop to points
under yesterdays close.
In the afternoon session the market
steadied up again on fresh buying and at
O'Clock the trading months were points
over Yesterdays close.

State University at Gainesville and
remain until after the holidays.
Our method of handling the crowds
has been to show them through the
cars. answering questions about the
various exhibits and making short
talks from the rear platform of the
last car. A part of our equipment is
a stereopticon lantern for use in indoor
lectures. but on account of the SPLEEN
did weather, we have not needed this
part of the equipment at all.
I'VE emphasize different features
and different crops in various sections,
being guided by what is most adapt
able to the particular section in which
we are working. In this section we
are emphasizing general farm crops.
We are emphasizing here many new
things and many of the things which
are well known to the average farmer.
We believe in Florida as an agricul-
tural state and believe that the state
abounds in resources. which only need
developing and working.
THE forage crops in this end of the
state have attracted more than aver
age attention, as the farmers realize
that the boil weevil is close at hand
industries are largely exhausted and
that this soil is productive.
I'VE are also illustrating the advan-
tage of better and more live stock.
Our hog exhibit represents five i'm
proved breeds of animals grown and
developed under average Florida con-
ditions and are a good average of the
types for any spot in tine United States.
CORN CLUB DEVELOPMENT.
I'VE are also laying emphasis on the
development of corn clubs, especially
for boys and girls. Our exhibit in
cludes the first ten samples of the 1915
corn club exhibit, as well as the first
ten samples of the 1911 corn club ex-
hibt of the Alachua County Corn
Club.
Another feature upon which We are
LAYING stress Is the value of legumin-
Gus crops, both as soil builders and as
stock feeder. The velvet bean. the
lima bean and the Yokohama bean, all
of which formerly only attracted the
interet of few, who specialized along
this line, are now attracting the in
terest of the general farmer and are
being cultivated more extensively.
HOME ECONOMICS.
The department of home economics
of the Woman's College at Tallahassee
has been splendidly handled by Prof
Harris. She has illustrated her work
by some articles made by the girls in
their exercises and has delivered a
number of lectures on dietary subjects
II fact, nothing on the entire train
has given more general satisfaction
than her efforts since coming with the
train on Monday, and we all regret
that she had to leave last night for
Tallahassee.

Quently the occa sion of blunders, that
a clear, concise address, such as was
given by DR.. Boyd is most valuable to
both students and honorary members.
The program for the year shows a
number of excellent subjects which
will be presented by different speak

DR.. Conrad accepted an invitation
to Greenville, Ala, Saturday, following
Thanksgiving, to deliver an address
