COTTON MARKET
 CONTINUES QUIET
Considerable Realizing Fol- lows New High Ground
 For Movement

New Orleans. December sl.-The cotton to r points over the closing prices of last week. Fluctuations during the four days of trading were not wide, Early in the week there was rise on French buying but later there was a reaction and liqui- dalton and some short selling on the idea that the advance had gone far enough for the time being.
 The chief steadying influence was the continued good demand for spots in the interior and the firmness of spot holders, Another bullish influence was the report that American mills were booking heavy orders for goods for use by the armies of Europe
 Buying was restricted by the triple holi- days following the end of the week and also by the belief in some quarters that after the end of the month there would be a falling off in the spot de- mand, owing to the filling of engagements.
 The new year in the market will open with the trade generally looking for an improvement over the conditions which ruled during a large part of 1914 Next week 1t will be difficult to hold prices down if there Is no break in the spot de- mand. and if favorable reports come from mill centers. On the other hand, a smaller inquiry for spots or hedge selling on tho part of spot owners would work against values. Brokers quite generally expec. larger business after the holi. days.
 Professional traders will watch invest nent buying carefully, and if it is IT sufficient volume to take care of any con siderable portion of the crop the lonf side will grow in popularity. There i' growing sentiment that the lowest price. of the season already have been seen but against this is the opnion of another element that the pressure of the move ment during the first few months of 1911 will send values to new low levels.

 Kane, Pa.--One stirring scene. not down on the programme. was enacted while the town of Marienville was being practically wiped off the map by fire yesterday.
 After L. w. Dana, proprietor of the Keystone hotel, realized that hls hotel was doomed, part ofthe furnishings and contents were removed, and these in- oluded several barrels of whisky. They had been in the street only q short while when members of the w. c. T. U. pro- cured brace and bit and proceeded to puncture the barrels. After three were thus set flowing. the woman were de- teoted and stopped from further carrying out of their plans.
 The hotel was tue only one in the county that had a license. and Forest county is now among the dry counties of the state.
 The town is to be rebuilt. s. G. Mensch, prominent business man. so said today Work of rebuilding the business part will be started as soon as possible

GOES ID ADVANCE
 AFTERADECL|NE Tone of N. o. Market Good. Typical Holiday Busi-
 ness Done
Kate. Bid. Asked.

New Orleans. December 31.-After a decline of about points in the early trading today the cotton market stiff fened and went to a net advance of points on the most active months. The close was at a net gain of l to ? points. The market did better on q moderate amount of fresh long buy ing, stimulated by the large exports from Galveston and reports that Amer ican textile mills were booking large orders from foreign governments.
 The export movement for the week was rather disappointing, hardly being up to expectations of the long side. At the same time c1earances up to mid night from all ports amounted to l14,- 542 bales, making shipments thus far this season. 2.471,599 bales. Bears con sidered that total port stocks of -l,- 607,333 bales were unfavorable but bulls contended that they indicated a continued heavy movement to foreign countries
 It was typical holiday session from first to last and the amount Of busi- ness done was not large. At all times the market had good tone.

New York Market

New York, December 31.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet between the holidays. After making new high ground for the movement early in the week, with May contracts selling fully W shortly after the publishing of the govern
 ment's crop estimate. the market met con- siderable realizing and little more south ern selling. Reactions, however, were l limited, and there was sufficient invest | ment buying on the setbacks to promote a generally steady undertone, although the
 demand from houses with foreign connec- | tions was less in evidence
 Some of the selling on the early week advance seemed to be promoted by predic- tions that after the filling of December en- agreements, the demand for spot cotton in 1 tho south would slacken and the rather 1 freer southern selling was taken by some
 as foreshadowing increased pressure from
 the huge available supply. The failure of | southern spot offerings to become heavy I enough to cause a sharp break in prices 1 before Christmas. seemed to have made a considerable impression on sentiment, however and much of the talk around the rins has reflected more optimistic view l Of prices. That tendency has been sup
 ported by reports of an improving situa- | ton in the dry goods market, and south ern advices indicating that a large amount of cotton has been abandoned In the fields 1 by farmers owing to it's low grade and the unsatisfactory market for such de- scriptons
 It appeared also that the first differ enoes fixed between the government grades as applied to deliveries on Janu- ary, tended to emphasize the stfioter re- quirements of the official grading and pl omote confidence In the value of the new style contract. while 1t Is reported
 that some of the consigned cotton reach- ing here recently was included in this weeks clearance of about $500 bales for Bremen.

HOmicidal From Football

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Alenton, Pa.-Dr. Henry l. Iilopp, su- perintendent of the Rittersvilie hospital. has called a consultation of the staff of the institution to consider the advisabil- ity of an operation to cure Raymond Yer ger, aged 22, of Allentown, committed yesterday on account of an attempt to murder his father.
 Yerger during the four years preced- irg his graduation from the Allentown high school was one of the star football players of that institution. and for half dozen years has been one of the best known, all-round athletes in Allentown, being distinguished on diamond track and cage, as well as grdlron. The history of his case shows that three years ago ha vas laid up with concussion of the brain as the result of a kick on the head re- ceived in a football game at Reading be- tween Allentown and Reading high.
 His father and friends stated that OH frequent occasions since then he showed signs of alteration. There is hope that an operation may relieve the pressure on the brain and restore his. reason.

Bridegroom Finds a Friend

From the Los Angeles Times.
 Santa Ana, Cal.-Chipping in a nickel Deputy County Clerk Hitchcock made it possible for a Los Angeles couple to get a marriage license today. Justice of the Peace Cox performed the ceremony on credit and the couple. having bought return tickets, went back to Los An geles happily married.
 When Mir. Hitchcock had written out the license for Romain Harrison Wilson, 26 postoffice clerk of Los Angeles and Marcella Ada Phillips, 1s, stenog- rapher of Los Angeles. he asked MT. Wilson for the fee of &.
 Mr. Wilson went through all his pock- cts, adding to the heap of coins until he had i95. The girl was not armed with q pocketbook and could not produce the remainder of the fee MT. Hitchcock put in 8 nickel and turned over the li- cense. .
 In asking Justice Cox to perform the ceremony, MT. Wilson made a clean breast of his financial embarrassment He said that he did not know 1t took so much money to be married. Justice Cox said he would do the marrying on faith, and Mir. Wilson promised to send him s right away. So they were married.

TONE IN NEW YORK COTTON Trading Light; Close .Un- changed to 3 Points High
 er-Spot Firm

New York. December sf.-Tradinf; ton market here'today. but prices ruled generally steady and the close was un- changed to points higher.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to a decline of points in sym pathy with lower Liverpool cables There was some local realizing and some southern selling but there was no important pressure against the market and prices soon steadied on Wall street buying a moderate demand from houses with foreign connections and scattered covering
 It was the first notice day for old style January contracts and also notice day for new style contracts, but SC far as could be learned no cotton was rendered on either account and this probably promoted the advance which carried the active positions about to points net higher during the after- noon. Closing prices were off from the best on realizing.
 Private wires received here from Dal- las during the morning said there was a fair demand for spots from exporters and that while domestic mills continued slow buyers, there was not grea; deal of cotton offering. Somewhat sini- lar reports were received from other sections of the belt, while southern spot markets as officially reported early were unchanged and the continued -steadiness of the situation in this re- spect probably promoted some covering by parties who had anticipated in- creased hedge selling with the ap- proach of the new year.

Judge Exonerates Mule

The ears of the Missouri mule, which have been lying back in doubt and dis temper for four years were Justified to- day in rising good humoredly. for Judge Henry Lamm. has exonerated the entire boneheaded, back-booting family. says a Jefferson City dispatch to the New York Herald. He declared in a decisiin that the whole mule family could not be blamed for. oneewild and unruly member and in- cidently banished the hopes of B. l.. Ly- man for 8 reward in a very old case. Before the decision by Judge Lamm today the matter had been presented ia all It's wild-bucking, low-eared detail be- fore judge. three judges of the court of appeals and four supreme court jus tices.
 The case concerns the action of a mule which /was standing next to 8 wagon owned' by B. L. Lyman four years ago. Mir. Lyman went into a store on Main street and left his wagon, at that time complete and suitable for travel out In front Horace Dale arrived n few mo ments later with his mule, Ginger, which he left out in front of the store. Within g. few moments Ginger was the only ob- ject in front of the commercial establish ment he reduced the light buggy to which he was attached to wood pulp fiber and removed MT. Lyman's wagon from be- hind horse. which wen. away from there in great haste.
 Tn freeing the Missouri mule from the stigma resulting from the mental attitude of Ginger, Judge Lamm said: t
 There are sporadic instances of mules behaving badly. That one that Absaiorn rode and that went from under him at a crisis in his fate. for instance, The mule don't kick according to no rule, saith the American negro.
 However, the faithfulness. sure-footed- ness and good sense of the mule. all matters of common knowledge. may be allowed to stand over against his faults and create a preponderance in the scale in his favor."

Totals on the amount of wheat bought for export and not previously an- nouneed were figured all the way from 1 1,0O0 900 to a.0O0.000 bushels. In addi- ton. the bulls were encouraged by tho purchase of d75,Oo0 bushels of cash wheat here to go to Portland, Me.

Bear Bigger Than a Grizzly 1,.

From the Los AngeIes Times.
 Frank s. Daggett, director of the mu. scum of history, science and art at Ex- position park, announced recently that La Brea fields, where discoveries of the remains of prehistoric relics have startled the scientific world, are not exhausted, as reported several months ago.
 Daggett reported that the complete re- mains of a cave hear have been discov- cred in one of the most recent excava- tions. The animal in life was more than one third larger than tine largest grizzly bear of the present day. and the speci- men when mounted will rank with the mounted skeletons of the imperial ele- phant and the ancient human discovered months ago.
 According to Daggett, the cave bear just found became buried in the asphalt pits of La Brea fields a quarter of a million years ago.
