CANADIAN SEIZURE:
 ADVANCES MARKET
Estimates of Wheat Crop of United States Stimu-
 lates Market

Chicago, December 2-Fears ex- pressed that Canada would seize more wheat had decided bulIish effect to- day on prices here. The market closed strong, 9@S1sc to 39sc net higher. with December at s1.09& and May at SLIPS. Notable gains. too, were made in oth- CT staples-corn 1A @2Ac: oats. IA e ss c and provisions, 15044o.
 Bulges in the price of wheat were virtually continuous throughout the day Despite good deal of profit talk ing by holders, the close was within 1sc of the topmost level reached. Ap- parentiy in connection with the chances of further communicating in Canada exporters were said to have been free buyers here and at Duluth and Kan sas City. The seaboard also reported a good demand for domestic wheat. Meanwhile bullish sentiment was stim- ulated by private estimates that the available wheat crop of the United States was only 754.000,0 bushels. not withstanding that the latest govern ment figures had indicated total of LOOP, 100000. By the lessened aggregate was meant wheat suitable for milling.
 Increasing difficulties of transport from Australia and Argentina were said to constitute an important element fin the enlargement of European demand for wheat from the United States and Canada. On this account, much atten- tion was given to bull arguments based on the fact that vessels can make two trips with wheat from North America as against one from Argentina or Australia
 Corn advanced to new high prices for the season Favorable weather had failed to bring about any increase of country offerings. Receipts at primary points were only half the amount which arrived year ago. Big export sales helped to lift the oats market. The total of European purchasing was said to be 1,000,000 bushels.
 Huge decreases in the stock of meats at western points, as compared with a month ago, were largely responsible for the strength of provisions. The pusual thing is an increase during No- vember instead of a decrease

Vice Charged to Mosquitoes

From the New York Times.
 Those who complain of mosquitoes here ought to be thankful that condi- tions here are not the same as in Gen. tral America" a returned traveller said yesterday. As soon as man sets foot in the wilds down there he is introduced to this unsuitable pest The mosquito will cling to him in waking and sleeping hours, testing all his powers of endurance and leaving him so thoroughly scared that many a missionary acquires the appearance of one who has barely emerged from the throe of some deadly and pernicious disease"
 In the annual report of the Amer ing prepared for publication. many Bible distributors testify to the suf- fering caused by contact with mos- quitoes in the hot belt countries. The insect, not heathenisn. is the mission aries worst enemy. Even the natives are engaged in constant battle with tho pests. They prevent sleep. they infect the food, they carry in their trail microbes and germs of destruc- ticn.
 Many missionaries believe that the mosquito is actually responsible for the vicious and deceptive traits of character which prevail among the natives. They can't possibly be happy or moral under the continued assault of such an enemy to physical com fort, it is argued.

FURTHER SETBACK
 IN WAR SHARES Professional Selling Added to Force of Decline and
 Depressed Prices

New York, December 2.-Foreign selling of standard securities and pronounced heaviness in specialties served to depress l.riees substantially in todays market. Europe's renewed offerings of American stocks lacked explanation, other than that it may have been necessitated by the extensive French and British commit ments to the new French loan.
 The further setback in war shares was directly traceable to the utterances of a leading financier who ventured the proph- ecy tEat the allied forces would hence forth reduce their war contracts in this country. The principal reason advanced in tEis connection was that cash would be lacking to meet additional obliga- tions
 Professional selling, which again con- ocntrate dupon such leaders as United States Steel, the coppers and few of the representative rails, gave added force to the decline. Steel fell 15s points to SHE and Anaconda 27s to s41k, while Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Atchison, St. Paul. Erie ard New Haven lost one to almost points. Anaconda's loss followed publication of the company's statement ~ for November, showing reduction of "ooVVo PounuS III pFOQuCtlOn compared With the preceding month.
 A1norS the more sereve declines of the sessicn, some of which were partly re- trieved in the later dealings, were Gem eral Motors, which lost 10 at AGO; Stude- taIer, 43s to 14S1s; Baldwin Locomotive, to 109A; Crucible Steel, o,4 to 701a, and United States Industrial Alcohol 4A to 116. Other shares of like description averaged 2-point declines, with heaviness in petro- leuns, tobaccos and United Fruit
 Total sales amounted to 6S0,000 shares.
 Exchange cn Berlin fell to 7S4 for de- rnand bills the lowest quotations yet re- ported and cents under the rate of a mcnth ago. Londons rates also shaded for both demand and cables but francs were firm,
 Readings October statement, showing an increase in operating revenues of $752- Ot90, and New Haven's increase of $SS4, ,000 were confirmatory of recent exhibits by, other leading railway systems.

COTTON ADVANCES
 IN EARLY TRADING Market Opens at Advance. But Loses at Close With
 Decline of 10 Points

New Orleans. December 2-Cotton ad- Vanced almost 10 points in the early trad ing on the local market today and then made net loss of about 10 points. clos ing at the lowest of the season, a net decline of 10 to Il points The rise around the opening was in response to better cables than due and reports ot improvement in the spot demand from the west. Liquidation from the long side increased and finally exerted enough pressure to cause a break of s1 a bale. the close was steady.
 The market was given a fairly good tone by a private bureau report of B. 69S,0o0 bales ginned to the end of Novem- Der, but after the early trading little real strength was shown. Bulls consid- cred the figures on ginning confirmed low crop estimates. but much liquidation from holders of long cotton who were evening up over the two bureau reports of next week
 Locally spots were unchanged at 12c for middling, but freight brokers reported a good demand for ocean room and quoted rates to Liverpool at an advance over board prices of 15c per 100 pounds.

Four Steps to Success

From Nautilus,
 1t Is an excellent idea to plan your mornings walk as far as possible. 1t is important for you to be able to get started without delay, for your energy is increasing then rather than dimin- ishing. In planning in detail the days work it will be advisable for you to use a couple of lists of things to be done; one an immediate list" whose Items must be seen to without delay: the other a future list" to be taken up later. Look over both lists every evening. check off the things accom- plished and notice those which are be- coming pressing.
 Let me assure you that this habit of taking your business home with you and devoting to it a little attention every night will not give you brain fever or nervous prostration. Men do not work themselves to death Brights disease and arterio sclerosis and the other organic brealldowns to which the workers of the world arc particularly subject result from a com bnation of emotional causes. They are caused by short circuits in the emotions, from lust and worry and an ger. combined usually with wrong eat ing.

Coffee Market

New York, December 1.-The market for coffee futures was at practically stand still during today's earlier trading. The opening was 1 to points lower. but the only actual business reported up to mid- day was at last nights closing figures and the somewhat steadier showing of the official Brazilian cables seemed to restrict offerings. Later, however, the selling be- came little more active on indications that there would be little if any decrease
 in the worlds visible supply for the month of November. with May easing off to 6.6Sc and July to 67sc. and with the market closing at a net decline of to ' points.

DOWNWARD TURN
 OF COTTON MARKET
Uncertainty of Ginning Re- ports and Government Es-
 innate Influence Market

New York, December 2.-The action regarded by local traders as reflectine disposition to even up commitments for over the week end, the converting of Congress and the government re- ports of next week. Some reactionary sentiment also appeared to have been developed by yesterdays advance into new high ground for the. movement, and prices sagged off with January con- tracts selling down from 2.49 to 12.SOc. The close was barely steady at net decline of to 13 points, or at the low est level of the day
 The market opened steady at an ad. vance of to points with the active months selling about to points net higher right after the call, in sym pathy with relatively firm cables and bullish overnight spot advices from the south, There was not much demand in evidence. however, while there seemed to be considerable cotton for sale around 12.7sc for March and 12.ssc for May. Notwithstanding the relatively firm ruling of Liverpool, houses with
 
 late months and there seemed to be local selling for a reaction as we'll as scattering Wall street and southern liquidation.
 Prices rallied slightly at times dur ing the day on covering or bullish spot advices, but each bulge seemed to need long cotton and prices showed gen. erafly downward tendency in the ab- sence of any aggressive support. with March selling at 12.60c and May at 12.7sc in the late trading. There seemed to be no change in the general character of the news from the south. Uncer- tainty as to the showing of both the census ginning report and the govern ment's estimate next week undoubtedly promoted the tendency to liquidate scat tering long commitments however. while the unsettled ruling of the stock market appeared to operate in the same direction.

c, F, Ayery's Letter

The selling of line of long cotton by Wall street houses because of the weakness in stocks.
 The cause of the decline in the lat ter market was because of rumors that President Wilson would recommend q tax on pig iron and fabricated steels, and also because of the speech of Frank Vanderlip in which he expressed a doubt as to whether the allies could raise any more money In this coun- try.
 There was no news, other than this, in regard to cotton. The market Is undergoing the usual evening up pro- cess which Is always present previous to government report. I expect to see the market go over the government s estimate long, especially will this be the case if the census bureau confirms the National Ginners' figures.
 I look for glnnings around 9,700,000 on the Sth inst. and anticipate the agricultural departments estimate to be 11,100,000 or under.

VERY QUIET DAY

 Is Rather Slack

Dealers on Morris avenue report very quiet days business for yesterday, with all quotations remaining unchanged. The sudden slackening up in trade will be of very short duration, however, as the out of-town merchants will begin to lay in their Christmas stock within the next few days. The continued cold weather is giving the fish and oyster dealers about all they can handle. Trade in this line was never better than at the present time, and red snapper, mackerel and trout are running a little short. Prices are un- changed.
 Two cars of cocoanuts arrived on Mor- ris avenue yesterday and are quoted at s7 per 100, which is a little high. Today S quotations follow:
