FIELD AND KENNEL

AS was expected, the worm has turned
and if bull can be entered in a dog
race it may be said that he shows his
fanes. Herbert NJ. Dickinson has for
warded letter giving his version of that
field trial race, and demands his day in
court From the length of it he eyi-
IDENTITY desired a week. SO il is condensed
into a day. He writes that from the

CHRISTMAS RUSH

Shortage in Supply of Tur-

Reduction in Egg Prices

The Christmas demand is beginning
to be felt more and more every day on
Morris avenue. The merchants say that
the demand just now is unusually

to begin in real earnest until Monday

COTTON IS MORE
ACTIVE THAN USUAL
Good Volume of Fresh Bus
iness-Price Changes
Moderately Wide

New Orleans December 16.-The cotton
market was more active than usual today
good volume of fresh business was
transacted and price changes were mod
erately wide. In the early trading the
fluctuations favored the long side, bur
bears became aggressive on reports OF
heavy ginning and their offerings caused
quick slump. In the afternoon the mar
ket had a very steady undertone and
made almost full recovery to the level
of yesterdays close on realizing by shorts,
as the ring found difficulty in meeting the
demand from the source.
The main feature of the day was the
gossip in connection with the pending re-
port on ginning by the census bureau. in
the early trading little was said about
ginning, but toward noon there were
many rumors, the chief of which that one
private bureau was coming out with a
report of 12,796000 bales ginned up to De-
cember 13, showing ginning for the period
of 715,000 bales, while the other was that
one private bureau would show 100000
bales, gined during the period and an.
other 10000 bales ginned. The reports
caused much confusion among the longs
and led to much liquidation.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points on good cables and
the cabled report that a we'll known Eng
lish authority on consumption of cotton
was about to increase previous estimate
of 14,750.000 bales consumption of Amer
ican for this season. This previous esti-
mate has been looked upon as being very
large and talk of an increase caused a
heavy buying movement, which started
in Liverpool and spread to the American
markets as soosi as they opened. BY 1870
O'Clock the advance was widened to TO
10 points. This was the high of the day.
Bearish rumors regarding ginning caused
selling for both accounts and the market
fell 20 to % points, the trading months
going II to IA points under yesterdays
last quotations. In the afternoon the
market recovered to within 1 to 2 points
of yesterdays finals on realizing by
shorts. The close was steady at net loss
Of 2 to points.

RALLIES OCCUR IN
THE LATE TRADING
Decline Checked Around
1892 for January by
Covering

New York, December 16.-Reports of
bearish private ginning returns were
accompanied by another sharp break
in the cotton market today, with
prices making new low ground for the
movement under a renewal of general
liquidation and scattered pressure. The
decline was checked around 1899 for
January by covering and reports of a
moderate demand against spinners call
ing and there were rallies of or 10
points in the late trading. which left
of from l to points.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of l to points in sympathy with
relatively steady cables, while some
buying may have been encouraged by
reports that prominent English statis-
ticians believed the seasons requires
ments more likely to exceed than fall
short of early estimates. There was also
considerable buying for reaction
after yesterdays sharp break, and. fol-
lowing some earlier irreguarity, the
market sold about to points net
higher.
1t seemed, however, that no aggres
sive demand developed ON the advance,
and toward midday the market weak
ened under reports that a prominent
Memphis statistican estimated the
amount of cotton ginned to December
1S at 12,796,000 bales. This was very
nearly in line with the rumored report
of another statistical bureau, indicat-
ing 12,S00,000 bales ginned to the date
In question, and the figures We're evil
IDENTIFY considered rather larger than
days official estimate of the total
crop.
At any rate, prices broke very severe
ly under renewed liquidation and bear
pressure, with the active months sell
ing about IL to II points net lower.
Some of the cotton bought earlier in
the morning seemed to be coming back
to the ring on this decline, but prices
later steadied on little trade buying
and covering, which may have chen
partly inspired by reports that interior
spot holders were not following the
decline in futures.
There were wires from Memphis
claiming that spot cotton factors in
that market were covering their tables,
but on the other hand some of the
local spot men claimed that they found
it impossible to interest the mills in
fresh business at the lower prices. Pri-
vate cables attributed the relatively
steady showing in Liverpool to conti-
mental buying.

FIGURES HAVE A
DEPRESSING EFFECT
Wheat, Although Firm at
End, Was 1-Sc to 3-8c
Under Monday

Chicago, eeember 16-Surprise over the

winter wheat crop had depressing effect
although firm at the end. was lsc to sc
under yesterday. Corn finished 3sc to 1sd
&c net up and oats with a gain of ss@%c.
The outcome in provisions was unchanged
to &c depressed.
Despite active buying for a group of
strong commission houses wheat suffered
a material setback as soon as trading
started. Gradually prices stiffened, a
leading expert saying the government had
overestimated the yield at least 81, ,OO0. .O0o
bushels. Bears were further checked by
statements that eastern wheat stocks are
100000 less than the total one year ago.
Overgrowth in fall sown fields SOUTH
west tended to make SPECTATORS eau
tious regarding chances of a sudden
freeze. Some attention was also given to
cable assertions that the prospective Ar
gentine eXportab1e surplus had shrunl< TO
74,000,000 bushels.
Corn traders more than recovered from
bearish sentiment, which at first threat
ened to rule the pit. The idea gained
ground that 1,000,000OO0 bushels reduction
in the supply of feeding grain. compared
with II months back indicated a coming
scarcity despite heavy receipts at present
Oats rallied by a big falling off in CON
tract grades here. Shorts were also wor
ried because of the bulge in corn.
Generous receipts of hogs acted as a
handicap on the provisions trade. Sup
porting orders came into play, though.

FEELING IN
STOCKS PREVAILS
Reports From Steel Trade
More EncOuring-New
Orleans Heavier

New York, December l6--A better feel
ing prevailed today in the stock trade.
Although selling of investment stocks was
continued with sharp declises in spots,
there was no recurrence of liquidation on
a scale such as has unsettled the buttress
of the market recently.
The general list hesitated for a time,
but ultimately cut loose from the nfiu-
ence of weakness in string of stocks and
sought a higher level The trade received
several setbacSs from time to time and
operations for the rise were conducted
with no great confidence
The tendency was definitely upward
nevertheless, and the close found the pop
ular issues near the best prices of the
session.
Reports from the steel trade which
J haye furnished much ammunition for the
bears in recent weeks were more encour-
aging. 1t was said new orders were
slightly heavier and that manufacturers
were looking for the appearance of the
railroads in the trade after the holiday
season.
The bi-monlhly statistics of European
copper supplies showed decrease instead
of impounding. New Haven, New York
Central, American Telephone and Ameri-
can Sugar, recent weak features, made
up some of the lost ground. President
Theodore n. Vail of the American Tele-
phone, commenting on the recent slump
in the stock, said II see no reason for
apprehension regarding the future of the
oompanys business"
These developments tended to revive the
retrogradng spirits of the bulls and there
We're signs of better buying at times.
TO all appearances the principal de-
mand for stocks came from the shorts.
Attempts to cover revealed a scarcity OF
stocks and 1t was apparent that selling
had been ovedrawn on the recent recess
sion.
sI1lnois Central was the only stock OF
prominence to reach a new low price for
the year. Canadian Pacific continued to
decline, the sessions low price of 21os4
representing a drop of IA points since the
announcement last week of the new note
