RK, D -
NEW YORK, Dec. 1$.—Cotton was active and
unsettled during today's early trading. Ca
bles were lower thau due and the local market
opened easy at a decline of 10 to 18 points un
der heavy liquidation or bear pressure. This
break carried January contracts off to 12.58,
or the lowest price reached In the local market
since the January delivery sold at 13.85 to
ward the end of October and 6top orders were
evidently executed at the decline. There was
.an active diuand from rcent sellers around the
initial prices, however, while there als ap
peared to be some trade buying and prices ral
lied several points from the lowest before the
end of the first hour.
The census supply and distribution figures
may have contributed to the oajly weakness.
A rally of 0 or 7 points toward the end of the
first hour was followed by renewed liquidation,
which carried prices 18 to 26 points net lower
and the market at midday was still unsettled,
although prices were 5 or 6 points up from the
lowest
The failure of demand to broaden on rallies of
6 to 8 points from the lowest inspired renewed
general selling during the. early afternoon which
may also have heen encouraged by rumors of
large private ginning returns. Active months
sold about 26 to 31 points let lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 15.—Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 13 to 16 points
on poor cables, which stimulated much selling
for short account on this side of the water. The
census bureau figures on consumption of cotton
in the United States for November of 482,594
bales wer e called unfavorable by'the bear side,
which increased its offerings onj them, chiefly
because they showed a falling off compared with
October. Bulls pointed out that there were
three working days less In November than in
October, which fully accounted for the loss of
about 90.000 bales. They also pointed out
that the lead over last year was well main
tained.
Bears were more aggressive than they have
been recently In all three markets of the world
and bull support was not well organised. At
the end of the first half hour of business
prices were 15 to t7 points under Saturday’s
close on the mos tnetive months.
Realizing on profits by sellers of last week
became rather general aqd the market' made
a partial recovery on it. at the highest stand
ing 7 to 8 points under the final figures of last
Week. Bulls did not follow up the advantage
given them and the hard spot attracted short
selling in fresh volume with the result that late
in the morning prices were at new low levels
of the day.
’ Gossip of the floor was that the market was
undergoing considerable hedge selling. It was
pointed out that the local stock is increasing
atad that much more cotton Is on its way here.
Contracts, it was said, were being sold against
a portion of this cotton.
. At the lowest of the morning the trading
months were 19 points under the close of
Saturday and at noon the market was at its
lowest. ’ ' *

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER
NEW' ORLEANS, La., Dec. 15.—Liverpool
this morning showed the full decline of lo
points due on futures, which was very <Usap
pointing in two ways. It shows the power of
prevailing sentiment in* New York and the
lack of independent strength in other quar
ters. Spots 11 lower; sales 8,000. The fur
ther bieak of 20 points at the opening in
New York this morning can only Berve to
convince Europe that, there is no adequate de
fense on this side and a bad effect In slowing
up demand is to be feared.
Our market opened 'about 17 lower, rallied
10 points, but had finally to submit to the
control of New York, and broke to 12.90 for
March., This bull move is s o much at varl
ance with the fundamental facts which deter
mine value—such as the supply situation—
that opinion in general is not in sympathy
with it, but the leading financial centers sqfem
to be the governing power at present.
The action of spot holders Is very impor
tant under present conditions, as it will de
cide whether or not a valuable supply Is to be
given up at sacrifice prices. The available
protection f or the future markets is much
le«s than in other years and the short inter
est consequently more exposed.
New York advices show that sentiment and
intention there are still against the market
principally on the Idea and belief cultivated
that the banks throughout the south are call
ing loans and forcing holders to sell. The
census report on suj>ply and distribution gives
consumption of our mills for the month of No
vember as 483,000, Rgalnst 476,pOO last year.

ESTIMATE OF PRODUCTION
AND VALUE OF ALL CROPS
Government Issues Its Final
Estimate on Grain, Rice, •
Hay and Potatoes
WASHINGTON, Dec*. 15.—Final estimates of
production ami value of fourteen of the impor
tant crops which form a part of the enormous
grand total, aggregating approximately $9,000,-
000,000, of wealth produced during 1913, were
announced today by the crop reporting board,
bureau of statistic*, department of agriculture.
The figures are tho official govermnetn estimates
of acreage, production and value, based on
prices paid to farmers on December 1. These
tourten crops are only a portion of tbp produc
tion of the soil which approximates $6,000,000,-
0(H) in voJuo each year. The total value of the
animal products of the farm Is estimated at
about $3,000,000,000 annually.
"The production of crops In the United States
In 1913 was materially below the average,” the
secretary of agriculture, David F. Houston, an
nounces, "the yield per acre of all crops com
bined being smaller than in any year of the ^
past Ueca<(e, with the exception of 1911. This
shortage was caused by a severe drought, ac
companied by excessive heat during the sum
mer months, In an important portion of the ag
ricultural district of the United Staes, and
paricularly in Kansas, Oklahoma,- Missouri aud
adjaoeu states.
•>*Inasmuch as crop production of 1912 was
unusually large, a greater proportion than us
ual has been carried into (he present crop
year, which should mitigate somewhat the ef
fects of the shortage of this year’s crops.
"The coru crop, the most valuable farm
product of this country, is smuller than any
crop since 1903. Wheat productiond is the
largest ever recorded in this country. The
crop was practically matured before the
drought became effective. The oat crop is the
third largest otr our history. There, has been
a steady expansion of the area of this crop.
The hay crop is smaler than the large crop
of 1^12. Rather liberal rains in tne late sum
mer and fall have produced good pastures. Tne
cotton crop will perhaps rank fourth or third
in size.
“The acreage devoted to these five crops
(corn, wheat, oats, bay and cotton.) comprises
about 00 per cent of the area in fill crops, and
therefore has a predominating effect upon the
general average condition of all crops. Nearly
nU the minor crops were materially smaller
this year than in 1912 and the per acre yield
below their average.
“To the producers the lessened crop produc
tion this year is largely compensated by the
increased prices received for their prdnucts;
for, ulthough the total crop production is ap
proximately 12 per cent siballer than last
year’s production, fche average level of prices
is higher than last year.”
The final estimates of today, with compari
sons for 1912 and 1911, follow;
Corn—Acreage harvested 105,820,900 acres,
compared with 107,083.000 acres last year and
105,825,000 acre? in 19H. Acre yield 23.1 bush
els, compared with 29.2 bushels last year and
23.9 bushels in 1911. Production 2,446,988,000
bushels, compared with 3,124,746,000 bushels
last year and 2,531,488,000 bushels in 1011.
Farm value, December 1, per bushel, 69.1 cents,
compared with 48.7 cents last ye«p and 61.8

One Cause of So Many Failures in
w
E often hear of many people
who undertake the poultry
business that make a com
plete failure or do not realize what
they expected to out of the venture.
There are many various reasons for
this. This business like every other
kind of industry requires the expe
rience and capital to make any g-reat
amount of money out of. There Is no
business o n earth that i will ‘pay
enough for a person to make a liv
ing out of unless sufficient capital
is invested to warrant its doing so.
The poultry business of course is
not excepted ip this respect. How
ever. hundreds of people think that
they can start in this business and
coin %ioney off of practically nothing,
but it simply cannot be done. On
the other hand there is no line of
investment that a person can . get so'
large a per cent of money out ox
whep properly handled as poultry, es
pecially If a person will not under
take it too large at first and will in
crease their business as they find it
pays. Most people w-ho undertake to
enter the poultry business will go to
work at first without any knowledge
Or experience and put up a lot of expensive buildings an'd buy a lot of fowls
to place In thesfe buildings and will In nine cases out of ten buy something
they think chdap or ?1 to $2 per head and get fowls such as the seller can
not make money out of themselves and will put them off on some Inexperi
enced person. This is the case in nine cases out of ten, ana to start with
this is the first road to failure.
The proper thing to do for anyone beginning this business is to visit a
npmber of different breeders, and buy only such birds as are in fine condi
tion, fully matured, already laying and something that has good breeding be
hind them. It is far better to buy one-third or one-fourth the number or.
birds of this kind and g-et something that wifi go to making money the
day you buy them than it is to buy birds that are in poor flesh, have not
finished molting and 'you will have to feed and nurse two or three months
before you get them to produce an egg. If you can find a person who is
willing to sell the pick of their flock that are already laying it Is far cheaper
in the end for you to buy such hens even at $5 e»eh rather than to have as a
gift a lot of birds, that arc not laying. Ton can select yourself wen with
a little experience females that are laying and in good condition, and they
will soon produce for you enough eggs to more than pay their cost or the
difference between them and hens that have not begun laying yet. If you
stop to think, a hen that is already laying will 4n two months if properly fed
produce at least four dozen eggs and the price of these eggs nowadays will
pay for an ordinary hen, and if you will stop to figure one of this kind that
is making money and one that has to be put in shape to' do so'you can read
ily see why you ca!n afford to pay a food price for something that ite already
at work.
This same thing applies tp pigeons, A pair of grown pigeons that are
mated H.nri working are worth four times as much as a pair of squabs or a
pair that you do not know positively are mated. And, if people In entering
the poultry business would only buy their foundation stock of this kind
as above stated and blr-ds that will go right jto work they can begin making
money the day they put the birds in their building, and It is far better for
yoq to use only a few of just such birds as you can accomplish this with
rather than to take a big lot of birds as a gift or at a low price that would
soon eat their heads off and not begin to bring In any revenue. Feed in this
section of country cost money and a hen will soon eat her head off and it is
far better to keep only those that are producing eggjs and kill or sell the
others rather than keep them in hopes of their doing better later on. As a
rule, when a hen ceases to be profitable, the best thing to do Is to get rid
of her. Sell her to eat and put the difference in a nice young pullet that
will soon go to producing for you. Never undertake to keep more fowls than
you can well care for without’ being crowded, and such as will continue to
make money for you. Most breeders do not like to sell this kind, but they
will if you offer them enough money to let you have the pick of their
flock. I!; is by far cheaper to pay the difference and get this kind ratheV
than to have any others as a gift.
If you will take these things into consideration and start in this way
you can not help but find poultry keeping profitable and pleasant, and In
stead of becoming disgusted and quitting the business you will soon wish’ to
Increase your output just so long as you find the hens are making you
money. No fnan living is willing to continue, to put up money and take
losses day after^day regardless of how mueft money he has or how much he
likes to work. If people would take these things into consideration, be
careful in starting, you can not help but succeed and find this business not
only pleasant, but profitable. The day and time has come when nearly every
family is beini- forced to keep a few fowls for their own use, and by being
careful in selecting your foundation stock as instructed you can not help
but make money from your venture, and be on the safe side. But, above all
things, never go into too big to start with, but learn as you go and increase
your business as you learn. By doing
so we would have ten people prodoucing
poultry and eggs to where, there is one
today. Yours vtery truly, 4 , —7/) f/-

NEW YORK COTTbN LETTER.
NEW YORK. Dec. 15.—Liverpool more than
followed the decline of Saturday which brought
out general selling on and after opening. Com
mission houses sold freely most of which was
said to be catching stop orders. The uptown
crow'd sold, also some spot interests and local
speculators, support was lacking, some of the
sellers of Saturday bought also Wall fitreet
and there was moderate trade buying. The bull
forces of last week were not iu vidence, and
those who bought on the advance seemed to be
throwing their cotton over. It is estimated
that about 50,000 long coon was liquidaed.
Considering the heavy selling and continued
bearish sentiment the market has acted very
well. The head of the Liverpool end of a largt
spot house says spots have not and will not fol
low the decline in futures. The course of the
market now depends* on consumption and the
ability of* the spot holders to withstand -the
pressure exisiting at the moment.—Anderson.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The contest
between the white and negro lodges of
Knights of Pythias in Tennessee over
the use of the organization name came
to a close* today when the white lodges
informed the supreme court that their
contention that a decision in _ the Ten
nessee courts gave them exclusive right
tc use the name, was erroneous. Their
action was based probably upon a de
cision of the supreme court last year in
a contest between white and negro
ledges in Georgia.
