BUYING FURRY
IN THE WHEAT PIT
Hessian Fly Danger, Rank
Growth and Fear of Cold
Sends Grain Forward

Chicago, December 9.-Hessian fly
danger. rank growth and fear of in
jury from cold had much to do today
with a buying furry in the wheat pit.
The close, which was firm. left prices

visions the outcome was unchanged to

Wheat at no time went more than
trifle under last nights level. De-
spite easy cables due to improved
weather in Argentina, general purchas-
ing began almost at. the outset, and
grew in volume whenever the market
gave signs of a dip. Advices from
Buenos Aires conceded that the crop
would be under the average in bulk,
with the quality poor. Attention here,
though was inclined to center more in
the domestic outlook, especially pros
poets for the winter crop.
Missouri dispatches asserting that
the wheat fields in the northwestern
part of the state were full of hessian

COTTON HIGHER ON
MODERATE DEMAND
Advance Is Most Generally
Attributed to Covering by
Recent Sellers

New York, December 9.-The cotton
market was higher today on moderate
demand which was most generally at
tributed to covering by recent sellers for
over the government crop estimate, due
next Friday. So far as could be judged
from the talk about the ring there was
no particular change of sentiment as to
the showing of the governments figures,
but confidence in a comparatively small
estimate may have been increased to
some extent by reports that the Secretary
Of Agriculture in his annual statement,
had referred to the cotton production as
probably ranking fourth or third in point
of size.
Only one private estimate was pub
lshed. placing the yield at 14,376,000 bales,
including linters, which appeared to at
tract no special attention. and beyond
further reports of rapid picking and gin
ming, there seemed no fresh development
bearing upon the probable extent of sup
plies. Closing prices were or 3 points
off from the best under realizing, but the
final tone of the market was steady at a
net advance of from to 10 points.
Liverpool was just about as due. and
the local market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 1 point to decline of l point.
There was very little cotton for sale
around the initial figures, and demand
from scattering sources soon worked
prices higher, while covering became a
little more active as the firmer tone de-
yeloped.
There was enough realizing to check
the advance and cause slight recession
from time to time, but the general ten
dency of prices was upward until the
more active months sold II to IA points
above the closing figures of last night,
with December leading the advance in the
absence of ready sellers, and on rumors
that part of the cotton being received
here from Texas was of too low grade to
pass contract requirements. Somewhat
more favorable reports from the Boston
yarn market may have helped the ad-
vance.

Travel on Subway in Paris

The number OF persons carried on the
subway trains in Paris during 1912 was
$40, 49,, ,09S, or an average of $4,000 daily.
The tickets collected were divided into
the following categories Workmen's, TO-
S77,382; first-class. 1883, 1886; second-class,
19S, ,060, 1872; collective (schooD, 1,1S9. To
these should be added the return coupons
of the workmen's tickets (79,S77, ,3S2), maxi
ing the total passenger traffic for the
year 90,659, 4s0
The number of tickets delivered in GER
tain of the last 10 years was: In 1903,
100,090,S33 ticlSets 1905, las, 7O0,S21 tickets;
1907, 194.S2 1s2 tickets; 1909, 254 AS 992 tick

Comparing the figures of 1912 with those
for 1911, there is an increase of 5,339, 1Oe,
due to the larger number of return and
collective tickets sold, says The Llec-
trical Journal. First-class tickets de-
creased by more than 100000. The re-
ceipts of the subway for 1912 were $780,

COTTON MARKET
AWAITS ESTIMATE
New Orleans Exchange Is
Quiet With Very Little
Pressure to Sell

New Orleans. December 9.--The cot
ton market was quiet but the tone
was very steady. There was no pres.
sure to sell except at the opening and
then only insignificant decline was
brought about and it was quickly re-
covered. The main sustaining influence
seemed to be the growing belief in
small figures in the governments es-
innate of the crop due Friday after
noon
AT the opening the tone was quiet
ana prices were to points down
FIRST prices We're the lowest of the
day as buying set in Immediately after
the CALL and buyers were met by only
scanty offerings The weather man was
favorable, as no rain at all was re-
ported over the cotton region, and the
outlook was for continued fair weather
but this did not stimulate offerings
The advance was gradually added 10
until in the afternoon session the trad
Ing months were 9 to 10 points ovor
Yesterdays last quotations. The close
was steady at a net gain of to 3
points.
Bullish forecasts of the governments a
crop estimate ranged from 13.50o 900
to 13,SO00,OO0 bales. More conserva-
tive forecasts were from $4,000, 900 to
100000 bales, while the bearish esti.
mates ranged up to 100000 bales
Gossip of the market said that a cer-
tain element has been induced by the
small forecasts to go long over bu-
reau day.
Reports from Texas concerning flood
n n m y or n f..f,pt t<>L
reports were that considerable damags
to cotton, both in the fields and in
warehouses, had been done.

BUTTER FAMINE IS
THREATENING CITY
Price for Creamery Product
Advances to 3S Cents.
Produce Sells Well

With the tendency of eggs to advance,
1t is now said that there is a likelihood
of a famine in butter, and the price yes
terday wentsto 3S cents. 1t was said that
there were but few tubs of butter in the
city. This shortage Is In the fresh cream
cry stock. OF the process butter there is
a plentiful supply and the price is only
so cents a pound. 1t is not believed that
the price on fresh creamery butter will
go very much higher than it is now
certainly not more than two or three
cents.
The demand for poultry is quite brisk
just now. The price on hens is IA to
Is cents. Quotations on fryers are how
ering about 10 and 20 cents, but the
demand is not so brisk as for hens. Tur
keys are not very much in evidence IN
the wholesale district, but are expected
to be numerous enough within the next
10 days.
In the produce line business is brisk.
The cold weather has stimulated trade
in a marked degree and a feeling of
optimism is in the very atmosphere on
the street. Dealers assert that the ont

Fish are coming into more general
demand than for some time past. Dur
ing the recent warm period there was
but little demand for oysters and fish
but the dealers say the demand on oys-
ters now is very brisk, with fish also
finding favor. Prices are practically un-
changed and the supply is well abreast OF
the demand.
Some months ago II was predicted that
alfalfa hay would be selling at $50 ton
