Merchants Yesterday Were
Optimistic Over Outlook
for Coming Year

Business on Morris avenue yesterday
was somewhat slower than ON the pre-
vious day. but it is expected that today
will find the condition much better. The
merchants are optimistic over the pros
poets for the new years business and pre-
diet great things. Business I'm the year
just ended has been exceptionally good
with the wholesalers and tho market has
on the whole, been In good condition.
Merchants in practically every line pre-
dieted yesterday an upward trend in the
demand, with no material increase in
prices. In the egg market no change Is
now expected and business is fairly good
Poultry. too. is in good condition. but the
price seems TO be trending upward
slightly.
Business in the fish market is fair. The
supplies are in keeping and prices remain
stationary. The merchants say that bus
mess will in all probability be better dur
Ing the year 1914 and remark the goud
business of the past year
Produce men are also expecting better
things this year. The business in this
line in 1918 was greater than in any pre-

ton of the shortage in Irish potatoes In
the early fall the market has been nor

NERVOUS MARKET
AT CLOSE OF YEAR
Trading More Active Than
Usually Preceding New
Year

New York. December sf.--The cotton
market was nervous and unsettled to-
day. Trading was restricted to some
extent, by holiday considerations. but
was rather more active than is usual
preceding the New Years adjournment,
and the irregular movement of prices
probably reflected the evening up of a
considerable interest for over tomor-
row, or pending a better view of the
next ginning returns. Quite sharp
break followed an early advance, but
prices recovered part of their loss and
closed steady, net unchanged to s
points lower.
The opening was irregular. There
seemed to be. a few near month sell
ing orders around the ring and first
prices were IL points lower on De-
cember, points lower ON January and
unchanged to l point higher on later
months, which were influenced by re-
latively steady cables. Right after the
call near months rallied on covering
and the general list sold about to !
points net higher during the early trad
ing.
January was relatively firm on buy
ing by one of the large spot interest
against sales of later deliveries. and
no special attention was paid on Off
cial announcement that a Charleston,
S. c., member of the exchange was un-
able to meet maturing obligations This
referred to difficulties which had al
ready been thoroughly discussed In To-
cal circles in Connection with n recent
heavy selling movement, but the mar
ket became somewhat unsettled. fol-
lowing rumors of further unfavorable
developments in retail trade circles,
and active months sold about to 10
points net lower during the early aft
ernoon. December broke to IL cents OF
% points from the closing figures of
yesterday, but trading in that delivery
ceased at midday.
Rumors that preliminary returns to
one of the private statistical bureaus
showed a ginning for the last half
of December of only 450. 600 bales
helped the market later, when there
was also considerable covering by re-
cent sellers, and the close showed rail-
lies of or 8 points from the lowest.

HOLIDAY MARKET At
COTTON EXCHANGE
Little Business Done Except
at the Morning
Session

New Orleans, December Silt was
a pronounced holiday market at the
cotton exchange today and little busi-
ness was done except in the morning
session. In the afternoon the ring was
barely moved.
Better cables than due caused a
steady tone on the opening, when
prices were unchanged to points up
compared with the last quotations of
yesterday. Around the first call the
most active months were points over
yesterdays close on a moderate buy
ing movement from shorts who wanted
to cover over the holiday. This was
the highest of the day.
Cabled reports from England of the
closing down of weaving mills and
bearish predictions regarding the
amount of cotton ginned during the pc
riod ending today stimulated fresh
shorts selling on a moderate scale and
prices fell off. Just before the noon
hour the trading months were to s
points under yesterdays final figures
The market was dull but steady in the
afternoon, closing steady at net loss
of points, to net gain OF l point
News from the cotton belt dealt al
most entirely with ginning and, while
1t was said, that ginning had shown
marked falling off compared with
the preceding period, the majority of
forecasts were that the amount of cot
ton to be returned in the official re-
port by the census bureau would be
large enough to make it certain that
the recent estimate of the crop by the
government was too small.

TRADING FOR YEAR
ENDS VERY QUIETLY
Undert0ne Was Good in
Spite of Small
Demand

New York, December 31.-The years
trading on the stock exchange came to
an end with a quiet, colorless session.
The days news was unimportant, specu-
lative interest with low ebb and a holi-
day at hand. so that traders We're
content for the market to drift along
idly. The uncertain movements of stocks
recently and the absence of Indications
today of a definite trend caused specu-
lators to be the more reluctant to make
fresh commitments and in most cases
price changes were nominal only.
In spite of the small demand, there
was a good undertone. Early in the
day stocks rose moderately under the
lead of Reading, which gained point
despite the showing of net decrease
of SS35,00O in it's November statement.
New Haven, Lehigh Valley, Canadian
Pacific and Norfolk and Western also
developed strength. American Ice was
bid UP more than two points, owing
to the increase in net profits of 1890
600, disclosed in the eompany's annual
report. Texas company climbed six
points on a continuation of the buy
ing, which has been sending up the
price seadily in the last lew days and
rose to the best figure of two years.
Reallzlng safes later reverted uoWAi
the market and in many cases early
gains were cancelled. Movements there
after were narrow. American Tele-
phone was heavy.
Final prices showed general losses on
the year Reading alone of the specu
lative faSorite held its own and the
tother most active features We're to 10
points lower than the close of 1912.
The last day of the year brought not
even the suggestion of a furry in the
money market. Call loans were renew
ed at per cent, rejecting the demand
in connection with year-end require
ments, hut the rate thereafter fell OFT
decidedly. The bond market was steady.
Total sales, par value, $500, 900.
United States rs advanced a per cent

The Composer Verdi
A Link of the Past to the Pres
ent in Opera,

Wherever, whenever and however popu-
lar music is known, the composer who
must be accorded universal laurels Is
Giuseppe Verdi, born near Parma, Italy.
His true name was Francesca Fortune.
He received his musical education from
the chapel master of the cathedral for
whom he composed marches at an early
age. His first opera was presented at
the La Scala, Milan, in 1888, and a few
years later on the pronounced success of
.Ernani made him one of the popular
operate composers of the day. The arias
from III Trovatore" were sung and whis-
tied upon the streets whenever oppor-
tunity offered and were rendered where
ever and however one might 'it-
sire music, whether In opera, SYM
phony. oratorio,- concert, or street hand
organ. He composed the popular mel
ody. "Ah! I Have Sighed to- Rest Me-
and others that will never be forgotten
as long as fair Italian skies remain. But
when he wrote Aida" and his later
operas he proved that he was in fact a
master of modern music, equal to he
radical changes In opera construction and
crchestration In every collection OF
songs touching the heart a number of
the arias from Verdi's operas will always
appear. He died at Milan in 1901 at n
mature age. The musical. career of Verdi
is one of the notable chapters In the his
tory of music OF all time.
Several Of Verdi's most famous opera.ic
airs appear in Heart Songs" This
unique volume contains treasury of
songs for a half century past. we corn-
mend 1t to our readers as the one coliec-
ton OF songs OF the past century which
they cannot do without, and call atte1,-
ton to our coupon printed elsewhere in

SHORTS PRESSURE
BOOSTS CORN PRICES.
Remarkable Advance Occurs
in Wheat for December
Delivery

. Chicago, December sl.-Squeezing Of
shorts bpought about a decided advance
today in the price of wheat and corn.
Attempts to force on the bull leader sew
eraI million bushels of corn that arrived
too late to be unloaded at elevators met
with failure. Closing quotations were
steady at nearly the top level OF the day
and showed net gains as follows; Wheat,
ssunad2ize; corn, l9mAG1s4c; oats, lsaAa
Sc and provisions 7la@S5c.
A remarkable advance occurred in
wheat. This was for December notwith-
standing that last day deliveries on COLI
tracts for the month amounted to nearly
a round million bushels. 1t was not un-
til the final hour that the upturn IN
wheat developed excitement among shorts.
There has been gradual tightening
of the market from the outset but no
furry previous to the time when the rise
reached cents and plainly indicated that
further stubbornness by Outstanding
shorts would only result in a penalty
more severe. Ordinary influences having
reference to crop and weather data were
lost sight Of and December contracts in
the end We're being settled at even dearer
prices than if for May.
Veto action by directors of the Board
of Trade spoiled the plans of dealers
who had hoped for an emergency rule
that would allow eleventh hour delivery
of train loads of corn helated on railroad
tracks in elevator yards here.
AS a result shorts saw no alternative
but to settle as quickly and as soon as
possible. The longs showed no disposi-
ton to lift prices to a sensational figure,
but We're content to supply all comers
who were willing to accede to what the
bull leaders thought reasonable after
hard fought battle for a change.
Oats smypathized with the strength of
wheat and corn,
Aggressive buying lifted provisions.
Grain traders and stock yard spectators
We're responsible.
