NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The year
1913 will be long remembered in Wall
street as one of the dullest in almost
a decade. Compared with 1912, when
stock and bond sales aggregated 1885,
$4,000 shares and $672,OOO,O0O, re-
spectively, this year shows decrease
in stock sales of 44,7Oo,OOO shares and
in bonds of $170,0OO,O00.
A recent sprut of activity at a high
or price level, with an increased de-
mand for bonds and other investment
issues. has given rise to hope that
a recovery Is under way.
OF the 1,10O members of the stock
exchange 1t Is estimated that less
than half are actively engaged in the
market, and probably one-ffth Of the
whole may be classed as 'traders'-

BLOODY IS
OJINAGA FIGHT
PERATE BUT HOPELESS
.;.l< STAND ..:.,::

Preside, Tex, Dec. 31.-The bat
tie between 5000 rebels under Gen.
Ortega and the northern division Of
the Mexican federal army, entrench-
ed around Ojinaga, Mexico. across
the border from this place, still was
in progress when darkness fell. No
bullets came across the border.
The forces had been engaged for
thirty-six hours and mafx md been
killedeand wounded. :.
Gen. Ortega. executing Eseries Of
flank movements, steadily kept on the
offensive, gaining foot by foot the ap-
proaches to the federal stronghold.
The federal forces, crippled and dis
organized by the fast rebel onslaught,
chung to the hillside trenches where
their leaders had decided to make a
last stand. They rallied somewhat
from the panic that seized many of
them with the first volleys Of the
rebels when daylight disclosed the
position of Ortega's men, and put up
a plucky fight against heavy odds, al
though their losses were heavy from
wounds and assertions. Many lesert-
ers and wounded waded waist deep
through the river to the American
side.
1t was impossible to even approx
mate the number of dead and wound
ed. Fifteen federal wounded who
waded the river were allowed to re-
main and were cared for by the Unit
ed State army physicians, but several
score unwounded federal deserters
were disarmed by the United States
border patrol under Major McNamee
and sent back across the border.

LARGE PENALTY
1 FOR A GAME LAW
1 VIOLATION IS PAID
RESIDENT OF NEW YORK CITY
HANDS OVER TWENTY THOUS-
AND DOLLARS.
COMMISSION CONGRATULATED
Quoting Farm for Breeding Wild
Ducks Was importing Them From
Virginia Contrary to Law.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The largest
penalty for the violation Of a game
law ever collected has just been paid
by the Franco-American Poultry Co.
and August Silz, it's president, of
New York City to the New York Con-
servation Commission. The amount
is $4,000. Mr.. Silz is the largest
dealer in game in the United States
and probably in the world, and he
imports most of the game that comes
into this country from Europe.
The New York commission Is be-
ing congratulated on what sportsmen
throughout the country consider an
excellent piece Of work. It is the
general opinion among those interest
ed in wild life conservation that this
case will make more effective than
ever the enforcement Of the laws pro-
hibiting the sale of game.
The original information regarding
this case was obtained by the United
State bureau of biological survey.
and important aid in working it'up
was furnished by the American Game
Protective Association, the national
league Of the sportsmen Of the United
States. This Is one Of the large num-
Der of cases in which this association
through its special agents, has
brought to earth violators of the game
laws.
Upon Investigating the case It was
found that Silz, under the guise Of
conducting a farm for the breeding
OF wild ducks, was importing native
widld ducks from Virginia contrary
to the law. 1t was definitely shown
that he was not legitimately engaged
in the greeding of ducks, but was US
ing his farm for q blind. Wild ducks
which had been captured in nets
were bought alive IN virginia IN large
quantities, and brought to the Sill
farm at Goshen, N. Y, where they
were Immediately killed and put upon
the market. In some instances
these birds had not been taken ii the
breeding farm at all.
New York has to its credit also the
largest previous fine ever collected
for the violation of game law, the
amount being $4,000, secured as a
penalty from dealers who stored
game illegally in New York City in
1909. The working up of the present
case required the very best detective
and legal talent and the conservation
commission deserves congratulations
on it's wholly successful outcome.

All Records Broken.

Complete details Of Chile's foreign
trade for 1913 are not yet available.
but from some advance figures just
received by the Pan American
Union, Washington, D. c.. some in
teresting facts may be cleaned which
should claim the attention of those
interests in the United States seeking
to enter the Latin American field. In
the first place, Chile,s foreign trade
in 1913 exceeded all previous rec
ords Notwithstanding general and
almost worldwide financial depres-
sion. The total amounted to $685.
100000, Of which the imports were
valued at s120,0O0,000 and the ,ex-
ports at nearly S145.O0o.000.
IN this connection 1t is interesting
to note that the United States has
made very perceptible gains on her
two chief rivals. the United King
dom and Germany, in the total Chill
can trade since 1909. OF Chilean
imports in 1913 the United States
