Thinks Jackets Wouldn’t Stand j
Under Eggler Hose—‘Prep’
Racers Are Blamed.
The young athletes who shocked so
ciety women of the North Side by the
brevity of their running attire and
brought a vigorous protest from J. A.
Eggler, of No. 262 West Fourteenth
street, were not Tech boys, according
to K. G, Matheson. president of Tech.
Not that the Tech boys’ costumes
might not be regarded as somewo it
abbreviated, but the Tech racers Jo
not train on West Fourteenth street,
from whence the complaints ema
nated.
Hemphill avenue and the stretch of
woods between the Tech campus and
the waterworks station is the train
ing ground of the Yellow Jackets’
speed representatives. And during
the years in which Tech has been in
existence *no complaint has ever been
made by the residents of this thor
oughfare as to the immodest appear
ance of the young men.
The runners who have s*o scan
dalized the Eggler neighborhood -ire
prep students. At least, circumstan
tial evidence points that way.
Declaring that he had nothing to
say about Mr. higgler's visit to police
headquarters Monday and his threats
to "souse” the runners with a garden
hoae, President Matheson yielded to
a smile.
"Why, let him duck them in the re;
ervoir,” said Dr. Matheson. "Befo.e
they start the onslaught with wat^r,
though. I would suggest that they ob
tain some husky men to assist them,
j^s the Tech runners are quite healthy
young men and might decide to re
verse condition.!.”
Young men with speed ambitions
have never minded the weather in At-
lantand, and, no matter how' cold the
wind was, have faced it in nothing
but the lightest of racing costumes.
Evidently unaware of Mr. Eggler’s
threats, the Tech track squad held its
regular practice run Monday after
noon. The course taken, though, was
in the direction Dr. Matheson had
stated, and east-northeast of Mr. Eg
gler’s home.

Bulls Renew Aggressive Tactics
on Firm Cables and Wet
Weather—Holders Firm.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23. Influenced by
short covering and better Liverpool ca
bles than expected, the cotton market
opened firm to-day with first prices at
a net advance of 6 to 15 points from the
closing quotations of Monday. Rain
was reported over the greater part of
the eastern belt with colder weather
over the eastern States.
There \yas quite a good deal of de
mand on the advance
In addition to covering there was act
ive buying by houses with Liverpool
connections. There was some profit-
taking, but the market took this selling
well.
While sentiment continues against the
market the advance was maintained.
During the forenoon shorts covered
rather urgently, seeing that the market
was unexpectedly steady. This second
wave of covering carried prices 18 to 22
points, or 90 cents to $1.20, a bale, above
the previous close.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23 The market
showed considerable strength on better
cables than due and heavy bu>ing by
shorts.
* * *
Riordan was probably the heaviest
seller. Weld also sold. Liverpool came
in as a good buyer, resulting in a gen
eral demand.
* * *
’
of last few days the market has liqui
dated freely, and, while the long inter
est is greatly reduced, I think the situa
tion Is not entirely cleared up I be
lieve the market should react from yes
terday's decline and around 12 cents all
declines meet strong resistance, and the
1 market becomes a scalping affair J
1 would advise caution through the holi-
[days and until the next glnners* report.
At present all evidence is encouraging
bear talk. There may be a different
feeling after the next ginners' report."

NEW ORLEANS. Dec 23. Hayward
& (.’lark: The weather map shows fair
ami cold weather in Texas and Okla
homa. Freezing nearly to the coast.
Cloudy over the rest of the belt, with
general rainfall in the central and
eastern States; heavy rains in the east
ern States and Mississippi and snow
in Arkansan.

The New Orleans Times -Democrat
says: "Absorption and consumption of
cotton continue to run on a larger
scale than production, but this does not
now seem to stand as a barrier against
decline, and another slurri^ in values
was recorded yesterday. New Orleans
futures and interior spots continue- to
maintain a general average parity, Jan
uary here having closed at 12.11. while
the delta’s quotation for standard mid
dling at common interior Texas points
was 11 %c, and nearly 9.000 bales were
sold at that price. There Is a carrying
charge from month to month represent
ed by the New Orleans contract quota
tions from January to July.
"After a decline of 176 points from
the season’s high level on March, friends
of the staple quite naturally discuss the
logic of reactions upward of steadier
markets henceforth arid of the desirabil
ity of paving closer attention to the sta
tlstical drift.
"Hut those men who predicted the
recent declines seen) as confident as
ever, and freely forecast further d -dfnes
of importance. Consequently, the talent
is still at sea and In many cases opera
tors stand aside and refuse either to
buy or sell."
First notice day on January contracts
is December 26. Instructions must be
in before the close to-morrow\ as notice
will probably be issued before the open
ing on December 26
* • *
Spot cotton steady at quotations and
only lower grades of off color trading
at prices quoted. No pressure to sell,
but the better grades of white cotton
are not obtainable at quotations
• * *
Memphis says there is a surpn-'ing
increase In demand for spots and hold
ers are firmer. Money easier.

ket is responding to the new currency
bill In a manner that Is most encour
aging to the holders of securities. This
you will find will be one of the most fa
vorable factors on the stock market we
have bad In a long time. The pres

will restore confidence, and I under
stand it will do all in its power to
bring about these results. In my opin

ginning of a prolonged upward move
