MEAT QUOTATIONS SHOW AN ADVANCE Poultry Prices for Christ mas May Be Lower Than
 at Thanksgiving
Sales. High. Low. Clo

Meat prices showed a surprising advance yesterday on Morris avenue weich the wholesale meat dealers profess to be un- able to account for. Trade was only fair and might be called sluggish.
 The poultry market is very sluggish at this time, with few changes in prices. Yesterday the price of hens went down to Il and 12 cents per pound. Turkeys continued in fair demand At this time 1t is too early for the Christmas stock of poultry and turkeys to appear on the market, but the dealers assert that the Christmas supply of turkeys and various fowls will be more than adequate. It is expected the price may be even lower than at Thanksgiving.
 On the produce and fruit market the report that owing to the large surplus crop of apples in Virginia large amount Of apples were being shipped to Birming- ham for storage in the new ice storage plant, was found to be largely exagper- ated. The apple crop in Virginia has been large. but there has been no un- usual shipments made to Birmingham The prices on the apple market are at present rather strong, but are expected to come down before the holidays as a large amount of apples will be released from storage in a few days The first shipment of Cuban tomatoes was received yesterday, but resulted in no change of quotations.

PLAN ID HOLD UP
 LIMITED DEFEATED
False Messages Sent Over Wire Intended to Trap
 0. x c. Train

Jackson, Miss, December 5.-(Spe- elal. )--Loeal officials of the Queen and Crescent are very confident that an effort was made to hold up and rob the Alabama and Viekburg passenger train near Pearson, five miles east of this city. yesterday morning before day, and there seems to have been grounds for the suspicion.
 The railroad tool house at Brandon was broken open early Tn the night. and a hand car stolen. That fact was reported. and the railroad officials be- came suspicious. That suspicion was accentuated later Mheu messages be- gan to go over the line warning the train crew of No. 1 that there had been a wreck near Pearson. and ad vising express messengers to get their valuables together for transfer at Pearson. But there w4s 10 wreck. and had No. 1 been on time tho chances are there would have been a hold up.
 Fortunately the Jaekson operator caught the messages going over tho wires and when No. 1 did approach Pearson 1t was gairg slow and the messengers and <otler members of the train crew were ready for the bandits. but who never tusned up. Just how these false messages were sent has not as yet been discovered, but it is thought the wires were tapped in the vicinity of Pearson. :-nl which by the way. adJons the staae convict farm in Rankin county

MOST OF DEKALB CROP
 HAS BEEN GATHERED
Staple First Class and High Prices Will Make Up Deficit
 in Yield

Fort Payne, December 5.-(speral)- The farmers in DeKalb county while short on their cotton crop are not behind with their gathering for practically two-thirds of the cotton crop Is not only gathered and ginned, but is sold. While the crop will only yield about 65 per cent of last years crop, the staple is first class, and the high price paid this fall will make up somewhat for the shortage in the crop.
 Cotton has been lowering around 13 cents for the last week or two and the farmers as fast as they can get ready for market bring their cotton to town and sell as quick as possible.
 Very little if any cotton is being held in this county, but all is sold as soon as ginned.
 The potato crop this year of both sweet and Irish has been an unusually fine one, and they bring good price in the home market. where the supply is equal to the demand.

SHARP RALLY IN
 COTTON MARKET Close Firm After Prices Make New Low
 Ground

New York, December 5.-There was a very sharp rally in the cotton market after prices had made new low ground for the movement today, and the close was firm at a net advance of from 1 to points. The market opened steady at decline of to points in response to lower Liverpool cables and quickly weakened under overnight selling orders
 renewed liquidation and local bear pres sure. After showing net loss of from 1S to 15 points, the market rallied g or 10 points on covering of shorts and bull
 sh southern spot advices, but very soon weakened again and in the early after noon sold 16 to 19 points net lower Stop orders were uncovered on this break. which carried March contracts off to 12. 29c or practically sS 50 per bale below the re- cent high records. Memphis, Wall street houses and large local speculative in- terests were credited with having sold aggressively early. but a good demand was encountered on scale down and the
 market became very firm in the last hour
 Reports that some of the most prominent sellers were taking profits on the short
 side and that mills were calling cotton iieSiy oH scale uoWn, thus accounting l for part of the markets absorbing power
 undoubtedly contributed to the late ad- vance which carried prices some 20 to 2i points up from the lowest. The close
 was within a point or two of the best

 and estimates by a southwestern author.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. December 5.-Cotton IL lures opened steady at an advance of ? points to decline of 1 point today.
 Cables were not up to expectations, but the notes on the weather over the cotton region remained unfayorable and caused some buying which resulted in an advance of 1 to 5 points immediately after the first call. Heavy selling pressure was sud denly applied, and prices broke a dollar a bale. Many stop loss orders were caught son the long side on this decline, which increased caution and offerings materially. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were IS to H points under the close of Wednesday,.
 As there was a nervous undertone throughout the forenoon there was less responsible weakness after the middle of the session.
 This appeared to be due to the profit taking operations of scalping shorts more than to fresh buying for, long account Many rumors were afioat that frightened the bulls and were on the bear side. One of the most important was longs were working for a respite. At noon the trade was steady and prices were to points under the close of Wednesday.
 In the afternoon the trade was steader. At D. m. prices of the active months were 1 point over the closing level of Wednesday.

PRICES CRUMBLE
 |NST0CK MARKET
Loss of From 2 to About s Points Inflicted in Many
 Cases


 New York. December 5-The selling the market throughout the week. in- creased it's momentum today and prices crumbled before it. After a quiet morn- ing, the market became unusually active and for a time in the afternoon, ap- preached demoralization Losses of from to nearly points were inflicted in a number of cases. Pressure was directed largely against the industrials with steel bearing the brunt of the attack, although some of the leading railway issues shared in the decline.
 In number of cases the lowest prices of six months were recorded. Steel, Amalgamated, St. Paul, Union Pacific, Reading, Northern Pacific and Great Northern preferred lost from to Sac each. Among the less active stocks the shrinkages were larger, running up to 1szc in the case of Woolworth, 6c in American Tobacco, 5lsc in Sears Roebuck and 4c in Great Northern ore certificates, International Harvester, Western Mary land preferred and Pittsburg Coal pre- ferred. Steels, old, down to 6S1sc; Smclt- ing to 71c; Union Pacific to 167 and Read ing 1884.
 When the movement threatened to lead to a serious situation concerted support was given and the decline checked. Trad ing decreased and the market rallied al- though the greater part of today's losses was recorded. The amount of business was much larger than on any recent day, with total transactions running Up to- ward the million mark
 An immediate cause of the heavy sell ing movement was said to be the action of lending institutions in rejecting as collateral many of the less stable indus trial stocks, especially among the non- dividend class. This led to forced selling of stocks of this description and &C., counted in large measure for the uneasi- ness of the market. Underlying this factor. however. there seemed to be a feeling of unsettlement on the part of many holders of securities in corpora tions whose status it was thought might be called into question as a logical sequence to the Hartman merger de- cision. Although much of the days sell ing was obviously professional, there was evidence at times of some urgent liquidation.
 Money rates were easier today, a factor which assisted in the expansion of specu- 1ation. Foreign exchange rates rallied from yesterdays low point.
 Speculative bond issues broke sharply in sympathy with stocks, with convertible issues showing especial heaviness. Total sales, par value, s2,O0S,0O0. Panama 3s, coupon declined lsc on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 5.--(Special. )- Liverpool continued weak today, closing easy at the lowest point. These adVices brought about further liquidation here until the middle of the day, when it be- came evident that the buying which had been absorbed all of the weaker offerings was influenced by the belief that under the expectation of a government ginners' report and a government crop estimate next week the decline had gone far enough.
 Southern spot houses also appeared as buyers so that the market gradually m- proved, finally closing firm at points higher than last evening. Liverpool should rally sharply tomor- row as Manchester s reported to be very active and under a demand from the east,
