ral|uv« «t the big crop figure* to cause
any material weakness in the Kouthorti
sp it market*.
rVr the first time since the beginning
of tin season, exports of cotton title
week exceeded 11 lose for the same week
last year, and advices coming in from
varU tie Southern port* suggested a con
tinue.! large movement during the bal
ance of December and January, par
ticularly from Galveston.
The Census figures tin supply an dis
tribution showed a fulling off in domes
tic mill consumption for the month oi
month of November as compared with
l oth the previous month and last year.
Stocks of lint cotton in the hands of

Such Increased offerings as May have
corns from the interior in order to se
em fundi for the holidays or first of
the \ear obligation are. therefore, sup
pos'd to ha\ e been absorbed chiefly by
exporters Meanwhile the big Increase
reported in the winter wheat acreage ot
ih* cotton states has led to more con
fident talk in a reduction In cotton next
spring, and local brokers say there has
t*een somewhat better demand for the

The advance In contract*. however,

Comment on Christmas Of
ferings
New Orleans.—Cotton had a firmer
undertone today arid. In spite of duJ
neest closed at a net advance for ths
session of three to four points. This
was within a point of the best of the*
day. Covering by the short side, bull
ish gossip regarding statistics, especial
ly exports and mill takings, telegrams
from Ik be t telling of a good demand
for spots for immediate shipment and
a moderate amount of Investment buy
ing were the features that held prices
up In the face of a poor Liverpool mar
ket.
Bearish comment was that Christmas
offerings of cotton probably would
press on the price early next week, but
shorts were more inclined to even up
over the holiday period than to increase
their lines. At. no time was the de
mand large and only a small business
was done, on the whole, hut at all times
offerings ware light and not. sufficient
tr, -riirt the inquiry. Some triers said
many brokers he’d orders to buy on a
scale down, should the market, decline.

LiSHT TUG
IN ILL STREET
Saturday's Bnamess in Stocks
Smallest Since N. Y. Exchange
Reopened. Encouragement For
Next Week
New York.—Trading in sceuritic*' to
day was relatively lighter than at any
other session since the recent resump
tion of business on the stock exchange.
Some of the more important issues were
rot quoted at all and speculative fav
orites changed hands in very small lots.
The tone was steady at the outset, from
which it became irregular, with nominal
losses at the close.
The l.nter-state commerce commis
sion’s decision granting partial in
creases to eastern railroads was again
the main topic of discussion, with con
siderable diversity of opinion as to its
real significance. The fact that the
roads had been denied the right to in
crease rates in commodities which form
the bulk of their tonnage caused disip
pointment. Apart from this however,
Wall street was disposed to view the
outcome as a further indication of the
federal government’s recognition of the
needs of “big business.”
Mercantile authorities reported im
proving tendencies in many lines, the re
cent cold wen tiler having stimulated de
mand in the textile Lades. Record
breaking cotton shipments also afford-*
ed encouragement.
The coming w r eek is expected to wit
ness some important developments in
the steel industry, including publication
of wage scales f c*r rpxt year. Some of
the larger mills have increased their
output but immediate business con
tinues light. Demands for copper re
mains tentative. consumers apparent y
hoping for a decline from recent price
advances.
Features of the bank statement in
cluded a moderate loan contvaction, a
substantial cash gain and a nominal
addition to the already luge excess re
serves.
Bonds w’ere firm at the opening, but
lost ground later. Total sales (par value)
were $692,000.
Government bonds were witnout ma
terial change on small trading.

DURING WINTER
Coming Cold Weather Will
Produce Many Difficulties for
Warring Nations inEurope.
That the oominK of winter will In
troduce many difficulties for the war
ring nations of Kurope is quite evident.,
and some of these are Illustrated In a
striking manner by episodes of other
campaigns related in the fourth wat
issue of the Scientific American, as
follows:
That the coming winter will add
greatly to the difficulties and hard
ships of the warring European nations
cannot he doubted. It is true that im
provements In military methods and
equipments have made impossible such
colossal horrors as those attending
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow or
even those Incidental to the operations
of the allied armies in the Crimean
war; yet the rigors of winter are still
a factor to be reckoned with in botn
the strategical and the humanitarian
aspects of war.
As to the sufferings entailed upon
the soldiers, a few Illustrations will
show that these are still Inevitable.
Of the fighting in Manchuria in Jau
uary, 1905. during the Russo-Japan
ese war. sir lan Hamilton says:
"Horsemen galloped about the field
with the foam and dripping sweat c..'
their horses changing into a crust like
snow and long dangling Icicles. The
Fifth Division—only seventy yards dis
tant from the Russians, near Heikoil
tai—had the choice between frrst and
fire. When they stamped their feet
to keep life In them, the Russians,
expecting an advance, fired on them.
When the Japanese remained quiet
they lost their toes. Four hundred
of them were found to he suffering
from toaho (frost-bite) the next morn
ing.”
An episode in the defence of Plevna
In 1877. which might well he repeated
today. Is recorded by Capt. W V. Her
bert .
"The sentry service In our own re
doubt,” he writes, as well ns through
out the camp, was of u cruelly severe
character in the rigor of a Bulgarlll
winter. The original four hours had to

frt zen ground, unable to move (thj
slightest attempt at a trot, the very
act of stepping out of the hole, at
tracted the enemy's bullets), insuffi
ciently fed, compelled to exercise
ceaseless vigilance, struggling against
the dangerous drowsiness engendered
by frost, the men looked upon sentry
duty as the last refinement of tor
ture.”
