BUSINESS BETTER
IN STOCK MARKET
Long Step Made Towards
Resumption of Normal
Conditions

New York, December 13.-Successful
resumption of trading in specified
listed shares on the stock exchange
Saturday marked the longest step yet
taken towards establishing condi-
lions existing before the closing OF
July 80, on account of the war The re-
turn to employment of the large force
of men was the substantial factor in
the great increase in cheerfulness man
.ifested throughout the financial list.
It was evidence of the confidence which
prompted this step, taken in advance
of the reopening of the London ex-
change.
The decision of the leading banking
interests that no need existed for the
organization of money pool to pro-
vide special credit arrangements was
another potent factor in the establish
ment of confidence This was further
stimulated by persistent reports indi-
eating an early and favorable decision
by the commerce commission regarding

as especially noteworthy that two I'M

by the renewal of business.
Under existing conditions only few
important stocks were withheld from
this regular trading list of the ex-
change, but these with few exceptions,
showed marked advances over minimum
prices. Concurrently, bond prices also
manifested perceptible strength and
the free absorption of new bond offer
ings amounting to $15,000,00 offers in
dubitable evidence of the demand for
attractive issues.
The strength of German exchange for
the greater part of the week was gem

securities from that source together
with the placing of loans In this mar

operations of the clearing house banks
showed another nominal loss of cash

COTTON FUTURES
DECLINE IN PRICE
Large Crop Estimate One of
Bearish Surprises of
Season

Now Orleans, December 13.-Cotton fu-
lures declined in price last week under
selling of hedges against spots, selling
to liquidate and a moderate amount of
selling for speculative short account. The
department of agriculture estimate OF the
crop at 15966,00O bales was one of the
bearish surprises of the season. and
worked as strongly against values as a
narrow market would allow. On all i'm
portant declines futures followed spots,
and at all times the undertone was steady,
going to the short interest existing. This
short interest probably was chiefly the
reason for the comparatively high clos
ing.
The net results of the weeks trading in
contracts was loss of "a to 2s points. At
the highest, on Monday, prices were to
points over last weeks close; at the
lowest on Friday they were 80 to 36
points under.
This week the trade is going to pay
particular attention to the export situa-
tlon as there are many rumors of large
iieight engagements and heavy shipments
yet to come. On last weekend the trade
was greatly surprised to find, in the
weekly statistics, that there was emore
cotton afioat of Liverpool from this coun-
try than there was year ago, the figures
being $4,000 bales against 33S000
France is beginning to increase its de.
mand for cotton in a marked manner
Galveston at one time last week having

against only COCO bales at the same time

from Germany is greater than can BIZ

Weapon Against Submarines

FROM the New York Times.
Anybody who has ever seen the trouble
that can be made for a steamship when a
rope, even though not very long or very
large, gets tangled In it's propeller, will
wonder what happened to the submarine,
presumably German, that was reported in
yesterdays dispatches as having run foul
of fishnet off the Dutch coast.
No craft, probably, has a margin OF
safety quite as small as does the sub
marine, and hardly anything can happen
to it that does not produce consequences
serious or fatal. Now, the nets used in
deep-sea fishing are large, strong and
heavy, but they do not cost much, as
war expenditures go, and the little Incl
dent described all too briefly In the cable
news seemingly suggests convenient and
effective means of reducing these much
dreaded little assassfns to helplessness.
With a net once around her organ OF
propulsion, Submarine would either re-
main permanently under water. which
would be bad for her crew. or she would
have to rise to the surface and remain
there for a considerable time, within
sight of hostile marksmen. and that too,
would be attended with most positive in
conveniences.

TO LOSE
SEVERAL STAR MEN
Auburn Coach Reviews Past Season and Discusses Merits
Heroes Who Have Played Last Game Auburn
Things Look Bad for the Coming Year
BY MIKE DoNAHUE

Auburn, December 13.-(Special.) coach
Donahue, who loses seven of tbs years
football warriors, says these men have
made wonderful records. He believes Au-
burn will turn out a creditable eleven in
1915 despite the heavy losses. He says:
"Auburn's last game of the season of
1914 against the Carlisle Indians was also
the last game for number of football
warriors who have made history under
the colors of the Orange and Blue. Most
of these have played their time out, but
under the Auburn system this does not
mean that they have played four fun
with the gentle art of pigskin chasing
they played with the scrub a year to get
introduced to football. II they are prom
Using for the next year or two they are
put into a part of an occasional game to
give them seasoning and a taste of the
real thing. For the next couple of years
they may be regulars. and two years is
a very fair average for those who play
as regulars in Auburn football.
OF the first line up in 1912 only four were
on hand this year. Kearley, Robinson,
Arnold and Thigpen. OF these the last
two were out of the most of the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic association games
and were far below their usual form in
the others because of injuries. So it left
really only two regulars of the team of
the year before last, and still Auburn had
a veteran team. OF those who have
played their time out, Captain Robinson
is the only one that has played a regu-
lar position for four years. After scrub
bing for year he stepped into a regular
position in 1911, and has been an all
southern selection for practically three
years.
Thigpen, after scrubbing two years and
breaking in year on the varsity, was an
all-southern selection his first regular
year in 1872. He was also one of the best
guards ever seen in the south
Kearley spent year scrubbing. a.d
year of breaking in on the varsity. Like
many another Auburn player, his inli-
vidual play was sacrificed to the good of
the team. and he was moved around to
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1914-12-14

various positions because of his all-round
ability As this year was his last year it
was decided to keep him in one position
regardless. His work spoke for itself.
''Boozer'' Pitts of Pittsview, was a
young, gawky youth of Is when he en-
tered Auburn. He had read a good deal
about football but that was all. He was
in his Junior year in the general course
before he was good enough to put into a
varsity game or two. He has been reg
ular for two years, and in his first year
as regular was a practically unanimous
choice for all-southern He has absorbed
the Eddie Glass style of line play bet
ter than anyone that has ever been at
Auburn. Another player who entered Au-
burn when he was very youthful Is
Louisel He was a good kicker even
then, except that he had to get in several
fancy steps before he kicked the ball.
The trouble was that opponents were not
always mesmerized by those steps and
chose rather to block the kicks than to
admire Willie's attempts at dancing.
There are two sure losses in the back
field, Arnold and Hart. In 1911 when most
of the varsity was down with fever, Ted
was taken from the scrubs, given the sig
nails on Friday night and put In against
Tech the following day. He won the game
for Auburn that day by a run of some
thing like 100 yards. He played "a half in
1912 when Auburn tied Vanderbilt in Br-
mingham, and led the Championship 1918
aggregation to victory at quarterback.
If it We're not for injuries this year he
would have conducted the most glorious
season that Auburn has ever had. His ex-
perienced leadership was all that the team
lacked.
"Frank Hart has been the unlucliest
player that has ever played an Au-
burn team and also one of the best and
grittiest. He has played off and on for
four years, and in no year has he been
in even fairly good physical condition.
Under the conditions he has played Won
derfui football
Next to winning the Carlisle game the
thing most appreciated by the Auburn
team and its supporters was the loyal and
effective support given to the team by the
Tech band. That old familiar refrain,
Touchdown Auburn was very encour-
aging to the Auburn team and to say that
they heartily appreciated the loyalty of
the yellow Jackets would be expressing
it very mildly, indeed
