New York-Martial music, hunt
ing horns and southern accents:
human and equine aristocracy;
toppers and tails, ermine and or
chids: pretty women on high-step-
ping, high-spirited mounts: bril-
liant uniforms sailing over jumps;
polite applause, swelling now and
again to thunder, with yells Of en-
thusiasm-those are some of the
things a national horse show is
made of. And over 1t all, nearly
as tangible as the sound and light,
and the smell of tanbark, are the
accumulated traditions of pure
craftsmanship.
just now the nations greatest
horse show is celebrating q half
century of progress. this being
the golden anniversary Of the day
when o few gentlemen rented
Gilmore's garden and chaEged IS
cents to see AN exhibit OF
''horses, ponies. mules and dom
keys"
That's why Madison Square Gar
den is full of mellow sentiment at
present. Officials even considered
putting in few mules and donkeys
lust for old times sake. But they
compromised on unitarian heavy
harness classes and frequent ex-
hibitions of an eight-horse brewery
team.
These shows are not run for prof
it and in past years some Of them
have lost good deal of money.
Nor can any exhibitor hope to win
enough cash prizes (most of the
awards are cups and the coveted
ribbons) to pay the various trans
portation and entrance costs. It's
all done for the love of the sport,
and in appreciation of blue-blooded
horses which never, obviously, are
to be replaced by automobiles or
autogiros.

Ponularizin. the show

FODuIafIzlnS tic SnOW
In order to popularize the show
for the thousands of customers
who may never have put foot In a
stirrup. each year has found
greater number of colorful and eX-
citing events by the international
military teams. The Irish Free
State. Canada. Sweden and Czecho-
slovakia sent officers and their best
mounts this year to meet the cham
pion Americans and their veteran
jumpers.
The latter horses all belong to
the army, and each was bought for
the governments set pricec of $3.50,
saw regular cavalry service, and
finally was promoted from the
ranks. Tanbark, for example, n
dashing black gelding, was just an
Oklahoma COW pony when an army
buyer spotted him five years ago.
Now he's one of the most famous
military mounts In the world. CHS
mic and Whirligig are two other
Oklahoma horses which have been
winning honors lately They came
from Fort Sill. A bay geld!ng
named Ugly (Which described his
iisposition) is almost as famous as
Tanbark; yet nobody knows his or
isin. Ugly was such perverse
critter that they couldn't even get
shoes on him until two years ago.
He caused SO many casualties in
the Thirteenth Cavalry that there
was talk of shooting him. Then one
Of the officers tried him as a Jump
err. And Ugly has been Jumping
beautifully ever since.

COTTON IRREGULAR
IN NARROW RANGE
Prices Fairly Steady as Small
Offerings of Week Are
M Readily Absorbed. =
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 16.-The
cotton market has fiuctuated irregularly
within, q comparatively narrow range
during the last week. After selling up
to 1922 during Mondays early trading
on q moderate trade and commission
house demand which appeared to be
encouraged by improving trade re-
ports. March contracts eased of to
1907 during the middle of the week,
under little more Southern selling
and realizing or liquidation
There was q sufhcient demand from
the trade and scattering sources to alb
sorbe the small offerings. however, and
while there were reactions the tone was
fairly steady toward the end of the
week with March closing last night at
l0l6, compared with 1905 at the close
of the previous week.
Reports Of renewed demand for
cotton goods helped the tone Of the
market during the earlier part of the
week, but evidently failed materially
to stimulate speculative interest, and
the failure of demand to become more
aggressive probably led to some liquid
alton Of scattering long accounts later.
There also seemed to be a little more
Southern hedging at times, suggesting
of the interior in advance of the holi-
days, but offerings from all sources were
light.
While at times &C cn moved inde-
pendently Of the dollar during the
week, traders are still watching the
foreign exchange markets very closely,
and fluctuations have roughly followed
the course Of sterling during the greater
part Of the period
The report Of Census Bureau, show
ing domestic consumption of 49,
bales for November was slightly below
expectations, but in view Of improving
trade accounts had little apparent in
-huence on the market.

ARGENTINE GRAIN !
ESTIMATES HIGHER
256 Million Bushels Expect
ed, Compared With 235
Last Year.
BY FRANK L. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

The first oficial estimate OF Argen.
tine grain crops places the 1888 wheat
harvest at 256,174,000 bushels, CON-
pared with 49,, ,s7s. 900 bushels last year.
Final outcome Of the crop. now being
harvested In the Northern regions, will
depend largely upon the outturn in the
province Of Buenos Aires, which ac-
counts for nearly one-hal the total
wheat acreage Of Argentina, and where
the crop Is entering the critical stage.
So far prospects indicate normal
yieid there, but heavy losses have been
suffered in Cordoba and Northern
Santa Fe.
Periodically. the Argentine govern
ment will establish a so-called basic
price for wheat, naxseed and corn, and
the grain board Is authorized to pur-
chase from farmers at those prices
and sell to exporters at ruling prices
IN international grain markets, the
government absorbing the loss.
Fixed at 62.S Cents.
The wheat price has been set at 62.8
cents a bushel. It is generally conceded
that whenever the market price is above
the pegged price the government will
not intervene. Just now it Is below, and
local committees are taking grain at
country shipping points.
There has been a downward revision
Of Australian production estimates. The
100, 900, ,000-bushel figure represents
reduction of 35,o0o,000 bushels, COM
pared with. 1882, but some in the trade
insist even that is too high.
Revisions for Czechoslovakia and
Hungary have brought the official wheat
estimates for Al countries, not including
Russia and China, up to $3.50 ,304, 900
bushels, or per cent less than the 1882
yield.
China's Duty Effective.
China's import duty of 8.5 cents a
bushel on wheat and SO cents a barrel
on -four plus a surtax of 10 per cent
became effective today. Flour demand
from North China continues strong and
Shanghai mills are operating at almost
full capacity. Some large mills have
but a weeks supply of wheat in stock
and would be interested in buying for
January March delivery, 1t is said, were
1t not for the new duty.
England and Wales has an estimated
wheat crop of 58753 900 bushels, COM
pared with Al ,253, 900 last year.
Lower prices for domestic Chinese
cotton have slowed up buying of Amer
ican cotton in China. Considerable in
terest is shown in Bengal cotton, which
is cheaper than Chinese. Present yarn
prices are the lowest in recent history.
India's 22558,000 cotton acreage is
the lowest since 1929.

grain exchange operations and Govern

OF such measures urged that should
proposed plans be consummated. thu
result would be to curtail speculative
interest, and would further reduce
prices for the grower.
Liquidation on the part of numerous
holders of corn futures weakened the
corn market even more than was the

Tax Sales Urged
This Year-End to
Establish Profits
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, December l6-Security
markets the last few days have had to
absorb a little tax selling, but of a
variety of different from that usual at
this season. In the past. December al
way was good month in which to sell
securities and establish tax losses. This
year brokers are urging the sale of
some securities to establish profits.
This change in point of view, which
is bringing in some little year-end busi-
ness, results from the theory that taxes
will be higher next year. Therefore,
brokers tell their clients, it is wiser to
take profits now than to wait until 1884.
Brokers argue that the 30-day rule,
applying to the repurchase of stocks
sold for tax losses, does not apply to
stocks sold at profit. Therefore. after
establishing profits on a line of stocks,
they can be repurchased at any time.

GIANT KILLER

It will be a long time before American tennis enthusiasts forget Henry Wilfred (Bunny) Austin, the blond British youngster who twice has been a stumbling block to our Davis Cup hopes. Not since the prewar days of John c. Parke has any British star so har- rassed the United States as Aus tin.
 Nsver a rational champion, pos sesSed of limited Stamnia and re- garded somewhat lightly by many tennis sharps, Austin has now as- sumed the giant killing" role in Davis Cup play. Two years ago he whipped Frank Shields and Sidney Wood in the singles, and his conquest of Ellsworth Vines in straight sets this July at Paris left the Americans gasping.
 Austin reached the Wimbledon final of 1882 but he was then no match for Vines, losing by GA, 6-2, 60, It is noteworthy that in turning the tables in the Davis Cup play this year the. British No. 2 star allowed Vines only six games, 6-1, 6-1, GA.

By ALAN GOULD |

Lord David Burghley. one of the most famous and popular track athletes ever developed in Eng land, had not heard of Jack Love locks record smashing mile when he delivered his swan song to London sport writers, but he made this prophetic statement:
 "On the question of continuing to better existing times, I think the human frame is developing continually and will always be ca pablo of better and better speeds. The competitive element, too, is great force in athletics. So long as you have one man putting up records, so long will you have twenty others trying to smash them, and eventually succeeding"
 The superiority" which Ameri- cans were usually able to claim in athletics, Lord Burghley added came not so much from superior coaching, more intensive or more whole hearted training, as was generally thought in England, but from their far greater number of varsity undergraduates.
 When you nave an enormous number of students-there are sim gle universities in America of 12,- 900 or 15,000 students-you are all most sure to- have a. corresponding large number of enthusiastic young athletes"

HARNESS RAGING. E NJOYS BIGGEST BOOM IN YEARS
By ORLO ROBERTSON GA. P. Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. T. With 15,000 horses in training for races over the country's 800 mile and half mile tracks, light harness horse racing is facing revival of old times, when the trottars and pacers held sway in almost every city and hamlet
 Where sharp curtailments have been made in other sports, officials of the trotting and pacing game have gone ahead with plans for the biggest season in recent years.
 On the Grand Circuit alone, nearly a half million dollars will be distributed to the fleetest of the country's harness horsss, while it is estimated that purses on small CT circuits and at the hundreds of county fairs will total close to a million dollars.
 Topped by the $5O,00o Hamble- tonian, which will be trotted at Goshen, N. Y., Aug. 19, the major ity of the stakes on the Grand Circuit have retained their high values in face of hard times.
