n business clrcls all eyes ora turned
pefully towards tho new year Trado
ring tho past year h s not bcn up to
peotatlons but everything points to nn
provement the coming spring which
11 doubtless be followed by a dull Bum
r and one of tho busiest falls ever aoan
this section of the country The out
> k for a good spring trade Is based upon
o belief that tho farmers of tho country
11 prepare for large crops and that the r
pcndlture for supplies and labor will
t a great deal of mony Into circulation
Very few Texas farmers will ask ad
iiices tho coming Bsnsjn as nearly all
no out this year with a big surplus
fob cotton was raised atlees expense
in for many years nnd netted thtra a
larger prollt While they have spent
uparatlvely little money during tho past

In discussing the recent panic In Wal

THE STOCK MARKET IS BOOMING
There Was a General Adraace All Along

Now York December 31 Sreclal The
agony Is over Tho Irani Issuo Is a fact
and tho stock market Is whooping Itself
tlD There was a general advance all along
tho line Londons prices below parity
didnt affect its Wo boomed In spite of
them Wo closed tho old year with re-
newed activity A most glorious wind up
Why7 Its a fact that iso many folks
bought on that eventful Friday the good
bargains that were and tho few days
thereafter nnd are holding onto them so
tightly that they bellevo that tho new
year Is even going to bring better tlm s- >
and higher prices for their shares This Is
ono reason for todays small business no
ono wanted to sell
Local pnrtles who xvant to bs ln th
bond syndicate paid a premium for gold
of lo 1 per cent to bullion brokers

souri Pacific gnlnt1 lifjlli Missouri

Bullion dealers bid cent piemlum for
goll but could obtain none nt that price
Thf lowest ofTcrs were at in cents
Yo gods but cotton did go It todss
Particularly In the afternoon A further
sharp Improvement In values was estab-
lished and a comparatively largo busness
wns done considering the holldny tomor-
row Liverpool furnished the stimulus
thnt caused tho Improvement The mai
kets therefore both pot cotton and ftttnr >
ellverles showed a much b tter rrsponso
to our advance Into yesterday than t > io
trado expected Various ron ons wero
given for tho Bhnrp and rather unex-
pected movement but the most plausible
oiy > wns that the foreigners had been
frli btened Into covering by tho general
predictions of n shirp ond almost per-
pendicular falling off In the receipts of
cotton nt the South But wbntover wna
the csuse of Liverpools advance It baMy
scirevi tho shorts hnro and an the mmket
had been heavily oversold there was a
general scramblo to cover as soon ub tho
mailtet opened which continued up to the
noon hour There was little pressure to
sell from either the local traders or out
sldo sources In fact everybody wanted
to buy nnd tho only sellers were thee
who wero long of the market nnd were
disposed to secure their profits
The first prices weto made at B points
advance and this Improvement was grndu
ally Increased to 15 to 16 points betoio j
12 oclock The receipts moderate and the
Southern spot marketa firmer and gen-
erally dearer with less cotton offering
All helped to stlmuUte the market and
hold prlccH firm at tho advance < hi > total
sales up to noon wcro 120300 bales
No such lolent fluctuations havo been
seen In cotton since tho culmination of
tho panic In It last October as witnessed
during the afternoon It wns a wld mar-
ket with heavy trading nnd Just reverse
of xvlint the trado had looked for on tho
ovo of a holiday Opening at S0S for March
and 821 for May against 801 and 8C1 ro
spectlvely prices steudlly advanced on
heavy continued buying until March sold
at 821 nnd May 633 Two commission
houses did most nt the bu > lng ono tak-
ing about 15000 bales tlrst Jind the other
purchasing upwards of 25000 bales Thoio
was nothing new In tho trade outlook or
crop sltuutldn to Induce tuch heavy buy-
ing especially at this uncertain stage
It looked more Uko tho covering of a
large lot of shorts put out by n largo
operator In which there was a litge and
handsome profit and as If an order had
been given to cover the cotton market
nt the lxt price possible After the two
bouses mentioned ceased buying the mar-
ket reacted and sharply declined 10 point
The trading wns unusually heavy nnd the
bulk of tho transactions xyoro in ios
ranging fiom 3000 to 4000 bales Tho mar
fevcilsh und rregular 1 ml
kct was very
uncertain in the late trading and the
much perplexed as to ho

Tho last day of 1KB waa made memor
ablo in tho cotton market by n sharp ad-
vance in both tho spota and futures
Liverpool sent over b gain In futures
enual to nearly 20 American points and
tho market on this sldo rondo a corres-
ponding upward Jump
Tho advance in tho foreign market la
generally taken aa an Indication that
English spinners are practically bare of
stocks and have como to tho conclusion
that It may not bo well to run short any
longer They no doubt rcollio Ihnt the
htavy movement during December does
not Indicate the yield but la merely a
final rush of tho staplo to market duo
Id tho recent scare In financial circles
Hecelpts at United Stales ports today
wero very large but It Is generally
thought that this heavy movement has
cbemt reached Its limit And that thero
Is very llttlo cotton now loft In tho
country
Now York futures opened quiet and
film in a Blight advance and by noon
quotations were 10 to 13 > ont up The
clcsng wits steady nt a net gain of 17
points March contracts sold ut 821 for
tho highest and 807 lowest

throughout the day and closed steady
It lo 20 points higher than yesterday The
highest paid for March was 800 and the
