NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, January 3.-The
price of cotton today was sent to new
low level for the week under heavy
short selling based principally upon pri-
waite bureau reports showing that gin
ming was carried on during this last
period OH a much larger scale than eN-
pected and tending to show that the
smallest crop estimates Of this season. in
Guiding that even of the government,
were not well founded.
Prices opened ) to points down
steady tone and quickly dropped to
a level IL to Is points under yesterdays
by heavy realizing purchases by sellers of
the earlier part Of the week.
Only a moderate amount of iquida~
ton came from the long side.
Toward noon buying for short account
was heavy enough to cause 1o-point
reaction. The close was steady at q net
loss of to points.

Trading was badly broken up by the
holiday this week. but on the whole a
fair volume of business was done The
market had a declining tendency and
aggressive selling from the short side,
based on returning belief in the correct
ness of moderately large crop estimates.
The net results OF the weeks trading
were a loss of Is to 81 points. The high
prices were made Tuesday and the low
prices Saturday. At the highest the
trading months were 6 to 10 points over

tention, but the ring soon became almost
wholly absorbed on the question of gin

Canadian Pacific's Weakness.

that the railroads will win out-suddenly
and quietly"
Canadian Pacific's Weakness.
The Canadian Pacific worshipers are
not prepared to admit that their idol is
weak in any particular: but on the con-
trary stronger than ever and at any
moment ready and able to spend tens of
millions for additional equipment and eX-
pansion. They would preferably scat
ter $50, 100000 to S75, DOC, 900 from the cash
reserve among the shareholders. as a
preliminary, and then do their expanding
with freshly borrowed capital. Canadian
Pacific stock has fallen in market value
S75 per share and is painfully soft at
practically inside figures touched in
years. London was first to show loss OF
confidence in the management and for
more than a year has been seller,
never with greater earnestness or larger
volume than now. 1t is estimated by
brokers and traders who specialize in
Canadian Pacific that at least 50O,OOO
shares have been sold by British, French,
German and Dutch holders on the Amer
lean markets.
Canadians have probably bought as
much as they sold. the accounts showing
a "standoff." The actual loss to Do
minion investors has probably mounted
into millions. Canada has not been in
as serious a financial predicament in
years as now. with every important com
munity sweating blood" SO to speak
Canadian Pacific has plunged into a sea
of financial unpopularity, in spite of the
heroic efforts of it's multimillionaire back
ers. They may be able to stop the tide
and turn it back, but the liquidation for
foreign account does not justify this
theory. Canadian Pacific has been one
of the bear features of the New York
market, with the trend still downward,
although the oversold condition permits
occasional rallies in quotations and par
tial recoveries of speculative losses. Ma
tive Canadians are in only minority SYM
pathy. They have for years sacrificed the
last dollar of profits in raising and mar
keting their crops. They are now vi
ciously resentful.

NEW YORK, January 3.-Stocks were
depressed abruptly today. after a quiet
opening which gave no hint OF the i'm
pending decline. Although various ad-
verso influences were brought to bear
upon the market. they were not of suffi-
Gent importance to explain the sudden

ing which leading issues were sold in
blocks OF several thousand Shares. The
selling apparently was professional. To-
ward the close a partial recovery was
made.
The readiness with which the list re-

mutton in buying power at the higher
level, and the weakening effect on the
market of a reduction in the outstanding
short interest.

POULTRY NOTES.

Interest in poultry raising is increasing more
and more each year and the demand for fresh
eggs and we'll dressed poultry increases in pro-
portion Why? The supply makes the demand
The greater supply of good pure food put on
the market the greater the demand for it,
The Matching season is at hand and every per-
who has a garden should nave a flock of
chickens Not to bring your seeds up quickly
for they will do that if allowed to run, but for
the benefit the manure is to the garden, and the
profit in feeding the green stuff from your gar
den to the hens. 1t does not cost much to feed
a flock of chickens. Five cents will feed hen
for ten days, and house AKA will accommo-
date sixty birds
Let us raise more chickens this year than ever
before, SO fresh eggs be listed among Zion
products, and wherever Zion wagon sells the
products our eggs lie there also.
Farmers, we will require lots of feed cabbage,
beets wheat, oats, corn, ETC. Don't let us run
short. Now is the time to prepare for it.
Who has eggs for setting? Let us know as
we are often asked about different kinds of
birds and we do not know who has them
We will be glad to receive items of interest
abolt your poultry to be published from time to
time also any questions will be answered through
