Under the new law we cannot ship
meat out of the state unless It has the

cannot. I guess the thing for us to do

WITH INDOE YEAR
Now that the first of the New Year
Is approaching, preparations are being
made by many of the wire bouses,
bucket shops. In Atlanta to close up
shop, in accordance with the new Boy
kin law, prohibiting the selling of fu
tures after January J, 1907.
While most of those In chaVge of tho
Atlanta houses admit that they will
take down their signs and silence the
telegraph tickers before that date, there
arc a % few who look wise when ques
tioned, and say they are not prepared
to make any answer at present as to
their future Intentions.
Rome have been advised that the law
Is no good and will not stand a test in
tfce courts, and though some bucket
shop backers are inclined to keep open
shop and fight the law In the courts, no
announcement of any such intention
has yet been made.
Hardly a manager of one of these
houses can be found who will admit his
house is a bucket shop. But It Is an
easy task to find out whether or not tiD
Is a bucket shop by- ascertaining what
outfit be represents. If his principals
are members of legitimate exchanges
In New York, Philadelphia or Chicago
It may sufely be deduced that bis house
Is on the legitimate order.
For those who need stock, cotton and
grain quotations In their business the
exchange to be established by the
Chamber of Commerce will supply this
Information, but there will be no spec
ulative transactions. But law or no
law, there will probably be pi kefs who
will place their money with hand-book
makers, if they can get a tip us to the
working of the exchanges in the North
and West.
