Fattened Oysters

From the Cincinnati TimesStar
In his natural state the oyster is
not menace to the health of his MANY
admirers. The dangerous qualities that
he sometimes possesses have been
forced upon him; they do not come to
him of his own volition.
1t may be doubted II the oyster al
together enjoys the experience of being
packed in a barrel with his fellows.
sunk in the unclean and oftentimes
garbageladen water of big city harbors
and there allowed 10 increase in bulk
and weight. II he could register a
choice he would doubtless elect to meer
his ultimate fate as speedily as possible
and without submitting to any inter-
mediate forms of torture.
Naturally the oysters wishes are not
consulted. but it is encoura ging to note
a growing tendency to compel OYSTER
men to consult the public health The
New York health board has Just set
it's official foot down hard on the oyster
fattening industry. No oysters fatten-
ed in polluted waters are to be longer
tolerated in the New York markets.
That decree means substantially that
nearly all fattened oysters are to be
barred. for practically all the water in
the vicinity of New York where the
business is carried on is polluted.
The fattened oyster Is inexcusable
on any ground. But when because of
contamination what amounts to no more
than a petty fraud becomes a crime
against the health of a community it
is high time TO call halt. The only
typhoid oyster is the fattened oyster.
If the bivalve We're given chance he
would remain healthy himself and
would never become a menace to the
health of others. He should be given
that chance and so should the millions
of oyster eaters.

BUSINESS MODERATE
IN PROVISION PITS
Prices Move Higher-Mar-
ket Narrow But Firm.
Trade Limited

Chicago, January 4.-Moderate bus
mess was transacted in the grain and
provisions pits of the board of trade
today. Prices moved higher Though
there were snow tlurries reported in
Nebraska, Illinois and Kansas last
night. the trade was inclined to take
chance that the cold wave predicted
by the weather bureau would reach tho
wheat belt ahead of a protective COW
ering of snow, the absence of which
has been factor in the trade for
some DAYS. The real bullish factor was
the statement that despite heavy re-
eeipts at primary points, the same mar
kets when their -four output is cal
culated, shipped more than they re-
ceived during the day This does not
hold true as applied to the receipts of
the week and Judging shipments. Re-
ceipts at Minneapolis were limited. This
was said to be due to attempts by
the railroads to relieve congestion by
holding back interior receipts Wheat

covered the fluctuations of corn. The
market was narrow but firm on cover

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. January 4.-tSpecial)-In a
very dull market, which naturally creates
bearish feeling amongst the local trad
ers, the distinguishing feature was the
strength of the January position. This
was evidence of an unprotected short in
teIest and of the absence Of any move
ment of cotton toward the market for de-
livery. January could be bought at
about 30 points over March, the offerings
being apparently for the purpose of not
attracting attention to the local situation.
There appeared to be considerable short
selling during today with the close steady
higher in January and practically un-
changed on the distant deliveries. The
local traders expect a lower Liverpool
ON Monday.

BETTER RESISTANCE
OFFERED BY MARKET
Moderate Progress of Most
Industries at Close of
Market

New York, January A-Better resistance
was offered by the stock market today to
the weakness which affected values Fri
day. Certain manipulated specialties op-
erations in which reflected an absence of
demand developed marked weakness
which for time held the general situa-
ton in suspense. All standard issues
gradually released themselves frem .his
influence and near the close almost all Of
the important industrials and railroads
had made moderate progress.e
Advances ran points in st. Paul. 1t
was half as much in the Hartman stocks,
Reading and Amalgamated Coppers.
Further weakness developed in Ameri-
can beet sugar, which dropped points
to the lowest quotation of the year.
All stocks of petroleum Sold off sharply.
st. Paul, the strongest of the important
railroad stocks, was held by the Novcm-
Der report of the system, disclosing large
gains in gross and net for both the parent
corporation and the Puget Sound subsid-
larry. A strong showing was made by
the banks in their weekly report. The
return flow of money paid out at the
opening of the year was reflected in an
expansion of over s32.00o,oo0 in deposits,
and the cash gain of nearly s15,0O0,000 par
alleled with predictions notwithstanding
and item of the average omitted. The loan
increase was considerably smaller than
in the first week of 1912. There was a
substantial addition to the excess reserve.
Foreign exchange rates were again
marked up and especially in Paris. Ad-
vances in the last two weeks have now
reached about 2 cents Reports of the
leading mercantile agencies spoke of
some dwarfage in general trade Such a
lull occurs annually and 1t was pointed
out that the change had been less marked
than usual this year. 1t is not unlikely
that there will be a further slackening
as the time approaches ror revision of the
tariff. Bonds were steady with some
widening of values. Total sales, par
value, $1,125,O 900. Bonds of the United
States, 2s registered. declined Ac on call

COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES QUIET
Fluctuations Comparatively
Narrow With Close
Steady

New York, January 4-The cotton
market continued quiet today and fuc-
tuations comparatively narrow with the
close steady, net points higher on
January. but generally unchanged to one
point lower.
. The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of l to points in response to
better cables than expected, renewed
covering by near month shorts and a
little buying of the later months by lead
ing spot brokers. The demand was not
active, however. while there was CON
siderably scattered realizing for over the
week end, or pressure. from Wall street
sources. and shortly after the opening
prices turned easier with the active
months selling to POINTS under the
closing figures Of yesterday.
But January remained relatively firm
while there were reports of large sales
by southern mills to China and ruplors
that eastern mills were coming back into
the market for spot cotton after having
shown very little interest for some time
past. This tended to steady the general
situation particularly as claims of a bet
ter spot demand from Memphis were ac-
companied by some scattered southern
buying orders and the market became
firmer again in the late trading with
January selling at about points above
the closing figures of last night on con-
tinued coverings.
