The New York Financial Bureau
saya: “On decline cotton will be well
taken.”
Opinions:
Hayden, Stone & Co.: If rumors
from Memphis on Friday tend to con
firm anything over 500,000 on the gin
ning more cotton will be for sale,
it will indicate a great deal of cotton
held throughout the south.
Miller A Co.: We are still bearish.
E. F. Hutton & Co.: Bulk of opinion
leans rather toward another setback
befora speculation can again be en
listed on the bull side.
Logan A Bryan: We rather favor
the selling side during strong periods.
CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRO
VISIONS.
Wheat: Our mfcrket is rlowly but
surely working Into a stronger posi
tion, and with any renewal of foreign
demand prices could easily advance.
Com: We look for lighter receipts
during the next thirty days, and be
lieve the cash demand will improve
which will have a tendency to
strengthen the futures.
Oats; Prices will be influenced in
part % tha action of other grains.
Provisions: The general undertone
is firm, with a continuance of invest
ment buying of the later months.

William A. Prendergast
Leading the Way Back
for Colonel Roosevelt?
A woman never loses her temper—
it’s one thin* she keeps forever where
she can always put her hand on it—
Florida
A politician is sometimes short in
his accounts, but not on the stump.—
Columbia State, _
New York, December 19.—William
, Prendergast, newly elected con
troller of New York City, prominent
candidate last year for the Pro*res-
sivenomination for governor, and one
of the three or four big Bull Moose
leaders in New York state, has re
joined the republican party. Imme
diately came the suggestion from his
enemies that he had merely pointed
the way that Colonel Roosevelt would
soon take.
Prendergast has been a close friend
of Colonel Roosevelt in his home state,
and has worked hard for his •>•••.
Few who* know him can believe he
would take an important step in poli
tics without the sanction of the coxo-
nel. They therefore suspect the colo
nel fully understood, despite the fact
he is in South America, that his fol
lower would go back to the fold. The
suggestion has been boldly made in
New York that when Colonel Roose
velt comes back from South America
things political will have so shaped
themselves that he will be in a posi
tion to re-enter the republican party
with the purpose of capturing it from
tha aid guard.
Man Still Stands
Upon Threshold
Of Knowlege
(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, January 2.—The popular
Raying that only the ignorant think
they "know it all,” was illustrated at
the big :ientific congress here today
when Dr. H. J. Pearce, president of
the Southern Society for Philosophy j
and Psychology, delivered a magnifi
cent address, not on how much he and
his learned associations knew, but on
“The Limitations of Knowlodge.”
The address, which was heard by
the distinguished gathering with pro
found attention showed that while
enormous &)vances had been made in
recent yvai-slii the realms of psychol
ogy and kindred ' nces, mankind
was yet only on the threahhold of
knowledge.
Dr. Pearce entertained the mem
bers of the Southern society at a
smoker at the University club on New
Year’s Eve. It was one of the most
interesting social functions of the
week.
All branches of the congress worked
right through New Year’s day, hold
ing regular sessions in the morning
and afternoon.
MEIN DECISION
DEFERRED BV GOVERNOR
(Special to Tha Harold.)
Atlanta, January 2.—Governor Sla
ton’s decision in tha Nash-Obear tan
gle in the National Guard will not be
mado this week. Pressure of other
matters, particularly the situation at
the murder trial of the negroes held
at Louisville for tha murdar of Mrs.
Irby, has forced tha governor to lay
aside his investigations Into the law;
on the subject for a few days.
([ COTTON LETTER
New York, January 2.—(Noon).—
While Liverpool cables were better
than due, with sales of 12,000, this
market did not respond owing to the
disposition on the part of the crowd
to sell. Commission houses, Wall'
street and ring speculators were prin
cipal sellers, some of this selling was
thought to be long liquidation, while
the rally was put down as short sell
ing. Around 11 o’clock there was a
rumor that the National Ginners
would be large, this caused further
selling and support was limited, coin
ing mostly from u few spot houses
and shorts covering. Sentiment con
tinues bearish and all rallies seem to
meet selling from the majority of
traders, and it is not believed we will
have any advance of consequence un
til there is some disposition made of
the spot cotton now held throughout
the oeuth.
Dr. Linton Gerdine left yesterday
for Baltimore after spending Christ
