Big Hall Jammed.
Auditorium proper. Taft hall, the

i ke-! and jammed with birds—and
bowing includes everything from
bantams to gigantic turkeys and from
plain old “Domintckers” (unorthodox
spelling; to the fanciest of imported
,:nfoodies and such from darkest Africa.
- fitting and proper the interest does
.< center entirely around she birds ex
ibiied. There are line showings of in
cubators; there are special farm exhib
it.;, with miniature models of the farm
buildings and equipment; the poultry de
artment of the University of Georgia and
: t International Correspondence school
arc represented with neat exhibits; there
s the famous Kimballville farm's exhibit
of fancy show stock; there, well, there are
o many things than an enumeration
would take a column.
Judges Busy Today.
Today lias been a field day for the
judges. Despite the large number and
the high pressure under which they are
working no great amount of progress has
been made. A few scattering classes have
been judged, but in the main the work is
mostly ahead of the experts, who will be
at it until well into tomorrow at least.
\ good crowd has turned out for the
show today and from the time the doors
were thrown open the dimes have been
hopping into the cash boxes and the
poultry enthusiasts have been Altering
steadily in and worming their way around
through the frankly overcrowded and none
too well arranged exhibits.
The National White Runner Duck club
will hold a meeting at the Auditorium at
3 p. m. Thursday. All those interested
have been invited to attend. Immediately
after this meeting the club’s first annual
catalog will be issued. It will contain
many articles by foremost breeders.

Strong, Aggressive Tendency
Entire Day in Face of Liver
pool Depression.
Xrirt YORK. Dec. 18.— Dilpression
shewn in Liverpool cables resulted in
the cotton market here opening barely
steady today, with first prices a net de
cline of 2 ;.u 8 points from lust night's
close. Trading was of a light character
at the outset. The ring crowd were the
principal sellers, with large spot inter
ests absorbing the offerings. The heavy
selling which predominated yesterday
was not in evidence, and prices after the
call were 2 to I points better than <the
opening quotations.
The strength of the market during the
initial trading today was a surprise to
the majority of traders in face of the un
favorable Liverpool. It was rumored
last night that the big bulls were throwing
"icr some of their cotton. This report
could not be confirmed, hut caused sell
ing from this side in Liverpool, also sell
ing in this market. It was evident that
! the large spot interests were the leading
buyers throughout, the day. w hich brought
out a wave of short covering, and the
market rallied with ease under this rul
ing. January rallietl to 12.78, March to
12.85. May to 12.86, July to 12.80 and De
cember to 12.68, aggregating a gain of 10
to 18 points from the opening.
The strength in tlie market was in
fluenced to a great extent on rumors
that the census report Friday would fore
cast light ginning for the period: also the
report that the National Ginners would
report 175,000 bales ginned from Decem
ber 1 to 13. The market remained
steady throughout the late trading, very
little cotton was for sale and prices were
firmly maintained at tlie highest levels
of the day.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net gain of 8 to 12
points, with the exception of September
and October, which closed, unelvinged
from the final quotations of Tuesday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 18.—Liverpool
today conformed to the decline on our
side since Saturday, showing futures 10
points down, spots 10 points lower; sales
8,000 bales. First trades here were at a
decline of 4 to 7 points. There was rather
less disposition to buy, but the market
seemed to get the support it needed and
the anticipation of a bullish census re
port on Friday checked the pressure to
sell. Tlie census report will be published
at 9 a. m.,’ our time, and will give gin
nings to December 13. Owing to the ex
tremely bad weather throughout tills pe
riod this year period ginnings are likely to
bo very light, in fact, the smallest in the
past five years. They are expected to be
around 450,000 for the period, which would
mean a census on Friday of 12.294,000
bales. There was a report today that the
final National dinners makes ginnings for
the period 475,000, giving 12,344,000 ginned
to December 13.
The market rallied in the second hour
to 13e for March, mainly on support in
New York. Advices from there said that
bulls were buying against Wall Street
shorts in anticipation of a bullish census.

OF THE FLEECY STAPLE
| YORK. Dee. 18.—N. L. Carpenter
I & Co.: There was heavy selling at times
I today which was attributed to Wall Street
and uptown interests. The leading spot
houses have been buyers. Spots in good
.demand at high basis. As lohg as this
l exists it ;s not likely that we will have
I any serious decline.
I Marehouse stocks in New York today,
I .0,224; certificated, 53.226.
McGhee was a good seller today, which
was said to have been for Pell.
; Parrott, Mitchell, Wilson. Harteorn and
, Cone were principal buyers today. Shear
■ son and McElroy sellers.
' Very little cotton was for sale during
(he forenoon trading.
I McFadden, Mitchell and Weld brokers
. were the leading buyers at noon. Moyas
■was said to have sold 40,000 March con
tracts at 12.72; Mitchell and McFadden
bought 5,000 each.
Pell & Co. issued a formal denial that
they were bears on the market, saying
that they simply advise caution.
qpinners Were said to have bought cot
ton freely yesterday on tlie breaks.
Mitchell is .sticking to his estimate that
the world's taking of American cottim
will be about 15.000,000 bales.
When Liverpool spot cotton was quoted
at 7.18 d, about 10,000 bales were sold.
| The first notice day tor January con
tracts will be Monday, December 30.
Cotton merchants say it is very hard to
sell high grade cotton at prevailing pre
miums, but middle and low grades are
I moving remarkably well. Along Worth
I street the demand for fine cotton goods
are said to be much poorer than it is for
cheaper fabrics, sucli as drills, sheetings
and print cloths.
The Southern farmers and small mer
chants usual sell their cotton freely to
ward Christmas and this trade will at
tract interest.
It is believed that big spot houses stand
long about 1,000,000 bales of contract cot
ton by the way they have supported the
market during the past few .lays.
About the best argument the bears can
say is that 13-cent cotton is too steep.
Norden, Hicks, Hentz, M ilson, McFad
den. Gifford, Mohr and Hubbard were the
I leading buyers today. McGhee, Geer,
Moyse. Shearson, Rothschild and Schill
were best sellers.
Browm, Drakeford. & Co., Liverpool,
cable: “Reaction caused by reason of
selling orders from the continent and
Weld selling.”

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 18.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows fair in
the western half of tlie belt; no rain;
cloudy in eastern half rather general; but
light precipitation over night, except some
heavy rains in Tennessee mountains. In
dications are for fair and colder weather,
except In the Carolinas, where It is
cloudy with showers.
New’ York wires received here: “Good
buying by strong interests, Think it dif
ficult to force It lower. Good trade buy
ing; also "Wall Street shorts. Expect
bullish ginners.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Spot markets yesterday were generally
' less steam and contracts closed at the
: day’s low level, the accumulation of stocks
I in some interior sections and the contin
; ued slack demand for ocean tonnage play
ing a part in shaping professional senti
ment. Tlie bear talent is coming to rely
on smallness of bookings to affect the
market adversely, and at the moment at
least collateral developments are encour
aging their views. In a letter to shippers
a Galveston ship agent says: “Get re
fusals; the loading position of the steam
er you need can not always be found, es
pecially so because ship agents, on ac
count of the lack of bookings, are not
chartering steamers ahead or agreeing to
guarantee or promise owners cargoes in
order to get liners on the berth.”
I Yesterday spot men in Oklahoma re
ported actual cotton accumulating, with
no shipping instructions attached, and
Southern spot markets, -at least some of
them, gave out a little evidence showing
a slightly easier tendency. In other words,
the reactionary tendency of the contract
market seems predicated on current drift
of something other than mere sentiment;
how’ever, such drift has not yet acquired
potential force.

CHli'AGit. Dec. 18. There were irae

early today with tlie better trade in the

account the*leading influence. Tlie Liv

the strength, here, coupled with the im
prover! inquiry from the continent for

Corn was u shade better, partially with
the strength in wheat, but mainly be
cause of tlie smaller offerings. Liverpool
was stronger on the forecast of smaller
shipments from Argentina this week.
oats were easier on increased offer
ings.
Hog products were fractionally lower
and hogs at the yards were steady.
The bulls in wheat had been waiting
for some time for the appearance of a
genuine demand for cash wheat and it
seems as it the buyers have put in an
appearance after so long a time. Besides
a large business reported in Manitoba,
there was a good trade In our own
wheat on foreign account and millers took
120,000 bushels here during the day.
(me large cash handler here said that his
sales while liberal would be much greater
witli an ample supply of cars for trans
porting tlie wheat. Closing for the day
showed the market as %c higher.
Corn was in demand from shorts and
investors late and there was a better
cash demand also, with sales of 155,000
bushels. The close was %c to %c better.
Oats closed %c to %c higher and casli
sales were 225.000 bushels.
Hog products were under liquidation
sales right up to tlie very close and
prices were lower.
