UNDERTONE IS; FIRM AT If. B.j Cotton Closed at Net Advance of 3 to 4 Points. Bearish 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.

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.

CMIUG 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 he reduced to two. and then to one hour. Fixed, almost burled alive, 1.1 a hole 1 feet deep, with the upper part of the body exposed to the bitter i blasts, Lite lower embedded in the Dr. Groover’s Special Offer “I Advertise what 1 do." “I do what I Advertise." 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.” Daily Pattern 1159.—COSTUME FOR MISSES AND SMALL WOMEN.
