Holiday Trade is on With Rush
 Among Wholesalers and Retailers
By JOHN c. MOSES

That the holiday season is with US is demonstrated in the wholesale district to the limit. Everybody is on the jump. trucks rushing here and there, filling in gaps of the retailer stock.
 And the retailers tell me things look good; that everybody has money and don't seem to be afraid to spend it. No changes are noticed in quotations this morning.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 19.-(Special) Another day of hedge selling from the south and of buying by western traders which more than absorbed the hedges Local traders followed the western buying on the treory that 1t would be heavier than the offerings. Outside of these factors the trading was of a limited character. The near approach of the holidays the possibility of any kind of war news for the holidays, and the weakness in securities check trading. In the last hour realizing orders af- fected prices

 For Rank Outsiders of Little Value
By JOHN c. MOSES

Nothing that transpires on the stock exchange of late has a serious hue to it. Tho old road has but one rut, and that leads downward. This was the route during yesterdays session. Gilt-edge se- curities were pushed aside for others with less intrinsic value. The inception of the liquidating movement is now six months old, and Wall street seems un- able to make 8 stand or come back.
 Cotton continued it's climb again yes terday, last figures being marked up ( to IS points over the preceding day. A big covering movement accrued. which
