GUINEAS ARE WORTH KEEPING

Young Poultry by Hawks and

Gulneas are a noisy bird and If
q few adult fowls are kept the loss of
young poultry about the farm by
hawks and crows is certain to be great

seem to have little use for the guinca's
noisy and disagreeable nature. Guineas
are great rustlers, and 1t does not
take much feed to mature them. Also
they are great insect destroyers. This
alone makes them worth their keep

SENSATIONAL BREAK
 IN COTTON PRICES
Heavy Short Selling Forced Prices Down and Weak
 ened the Market

New Orleans, December 29.-Cotton felt the force of bear pressure on this market today, after period of steadiness in the early trading. Toward the middle Of the day the market broke in a sensa- uonal manner, landing B to s3 points down from the high levels established around the first call. This break started under heavy short selling. which forced prices down until stop loss orders were reached on the long side on a large scale. Liquidation gave the market weak tone for awhile.
 In the early trading values improved IS to 2S points on buying based on good cables and reports of better spot de- mand, especially in Texas. Short sellers of yesterday were inclined to cover on this rise.
 The heavy selling of the day commenced suddenly and appeared to have no other incentive than that 1t was a bear move against the market. The ring was active and the market very much unsettled for a considerable period, after which the tone again became steadier. The close was net loss of 6 to 9 points At the lowest of the season prices were 20 to A points under yesterdays close.

 points above last nights closing fig
 ures during the morning with May

 market at 9.10c for New Orleans, Amer
 ican credits, but otherwise no quota tions were mentioned.
 The official cables reported no change in the Brazilian markets except
 for an advance of 50 to 75 reis in San- 43,0o0; Jundiahy, 10000. Private re- ports were circulating that ocean rates of from $1.60@2.00 per bag were be- ling asked for shipment from Brazil to New York.

PRICES DECLINE ON
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Decline Associated With Downturns in Wall
 Street Values

Chicago, December 29.-Notwithstand- ing continued export buying, much bear
 ish sentiment developed in the wheat
 market today, owing mainly to indefinite
 peace rumors and to uneasiness over pos
 sibility of railway strikes Quotations
 closed heavy, 14 to 1 points net lower,
 with May al $1.70asg1. .757s, and July at
 $1. 3S14 G1. .3S3s
 Corn and oats both finished 1kc off to a
 like advance. In provisions the result was decline ranging from % to $1.05 At first the wheat trade did not seem
 greatly impressed by the chance of an in- terruption to railway traffic, and soon showed a substantial recovery from mod crate early declines that were associated with initial downturns in Wall street val ues. The display of strength in the
 wheat market, however, proved brief, and although after midday another temporary bulge took place, the general tendency was to a lower level. Export sales of 10000 bushels in the last 24 hours were announced, but the bullish effect was largely offset by word of the British gov ernment selling at Winnipeg The amount said to have been disposed of in the Can adian market did not seem of any special significance.
 It was just as the wheat market was 1 sure which was said to be more or less connected with the railroad wage difficulty exerted a distinct influence. Weakness in the last b minutes of the session was virtually simultaneous with the receipt of dispatches from New York saying 100000 | railroad employees had been officially called on by leaders to decide the next
 step in the controversy over the operation of the Adamson act
 Corn showed considerable resistance to the depressing influence of wheat The comparative strength was due largely to opinions expressed that recent high prices of hogs warranted an advance in the value of feed. Oats merely duplicated the action of corn. There was fair demand from the seaboard. Heavy deliveries on December contracts weakened provisions Besides, there was
 a notable falling off in prices of hogs. Future quotations were as follows:

TRADING DULL ON.
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Public Interest at Low Ebb and Dealing Altogether
 Professional

New York, December 29.-With a triple holiday in prospect, the last day of the year in the stock market was charac- terized by excessive dullness and few price changes of importance. Dealings were altogether professional and repre- sented to a greater degree than ordi- narily the winding up of speculative ac- counts.
 Public interest was evidently at low ebb, even the bond division refiectng lit tie or no inquiry. For the most part trading was restricted to the usual favor ties, with marked pressure against the motors and their subsidiaries as well as other specialties conspicuous in the de- pression of the last few weeks.
 Utilities, notably the gas shares, to- baccos some of the papers, and leather and many shares of no specific oescrlp- ton, were irregularly lower, with mod crate heaviness in rails. The only note- worthy feature in the latter division was the Wabash group, the new pre- ferred "A' stock hardening on the dec laration of an initial dividend Of l per cent.
 Equjpments and munitions were some what mixed; Bethlehem Steel, however, rising 20 points, with to for some of the other distinctive war shares. United States Steel broke moderately at the out set, but more than regained it's loss, closing at a net gain of 1A points.
 Oils were consistently strong, with con- siderable activity in Texas company at ,-an extreme gain of b points, Coppers and shippings ruled firm to strong the recent rise in Atlantic Gulf and West In- Gies finding partial explanation in the October statement, showing an increase in net of more than 50 per cent over the corresponding period last year.
 Central Leather, Baldwin Locomotive, Pressed Steel car and a few others of the same class were materially better. the entire list being at highest levels at the close. Total sales of stocks amount- ed to 730000 shares.
 Sterling exchange and marks were quot ably higher, but dealings were scarce.
