DESPITE COLD
Produce Markets Do Normal
Business —Supply of Staples
Sufficient for the Demand.
Considering the time of year. the nro
duce markets for the week did a normal
business. On general staples the supply
was quite sufficient to meet all demands.
For a time It seemed as If there might
'be a shortage on potatoes, but before any
real need was felt a supply of good, un
frosted stock was received.
The market on Texas eggs Is practical
ly bare. During the last of the week no
country eggs were received and accord
ingly, there were none to be had at any
quotation The situation has been mate
rially relieved, however, through large car
receipts of Kansas eggs. This stock is re
ported fine and is moving freely under a
quotation of 82 cents.
Despite the cold weather, small ship
ments of strawberries have been datly re
ceived at the markets. Until Saturday the
movement was slow at $5 per crate, but
on this date the demand became more
active and the prices were Increased to
$7. The berries are reported of both fine
flavor and color.
Dally shipments are now received on
Mexican tomatoes. This stock Is a great
improvement on the last Texas stock.
The demand is active at 83 per crate.
Shipments are also coming in on Meri-
Can beans. An active demand exists for
this product and the dealers have no
trouble in disposing of their receipts at
S 3 per bushel.
The regular express shipments of cab
bage, old Boston lettuce and the curly
stock were received Saturday. The arri
val of these products meant much to
ward supplying the market with green
table sauce. These products are selling
freely -at unchanged quotations.
Fresh dally shipments of grape fruit
and tangerines also keep the market well
supplied and these products are meeting
all demands at normal prices.
Oranges, cranberries, celery and lem
ons are to be found in liberal quantities
and of fine quality, also at normal auo
tatlons.
Turkevs are scarce at 1« cents, while
chickens are In good demand at the us
ual prices

All UPHEAVAL?
Well Defined Rumor Says More
Trouble Will Start In Cot
ton First of the Week.
With the closing of the cotton ex
changes for the week a new history on
the boards has been written. Acting upon
the demand of the spinners, especially
those of Germany, through contract buy
ing the cotton markets rising to a
high quotation under the active demand.
Wall street, observing the situation, as
well aa the timidity of the stockbrokers,
took advantage of the position on the pre
text of both the presumed disturbance of
the British election and the apprehensions
regarding the president's message to
force a break In quotations and seize ac
tive control of the markets.
Following this procedure, the New York
stocks became alarmed and at once sold
their long cotton at a disadvantage of
from 100 to 147 points, much to the ad
vantage of the bull forces. However, the
fallacy of this break Is now observed on
the part of those who practically hold the
situation In hand as quite entirely unnec
essary and overdone. With the south
holding the balance of the cotton the
power Is with the holders and not with
either Wall street or the New York
stocks. Therefore, it was for the south to
restore confidence to the cotton world,
and this through the New Orleans board
was promptly done.
With the American upheaval. Liverpool
at once became agitated and futures on
middling cotton fell headlong only to be
restored through American cables declar
ing the fallacy and falsity of the pre
sumed scare. However, the strong south
ern ruling, at which the cotton was held,
at once restored the prestige which for
the time had been lost and the cotton
boards throughout the world took on a
changed complexion and practically re
covered in full their former prestige and
active quotations. The week, therefore,
closed under higher and firmed quotations
with some considerable activity on op
tions. Whether quotations will remain
stationary for the opening of next week
Is problematical. Well authenticated ru
mors are to the effect that another wed
defined upheaval may be launched by tt?
leading bears the first of the week.’ The
experience and the wisdom gained from
the one just planned may save the sit
uation to the moral advantage of the
boards.

CUAIIOH IS
MUCH INCREASED
Comptroller of Currency Ex
plains Puzzling Feature Re
garding Money Situation.
Lawrence O. Murray, comptroller of
the currency. In his annual report, be
sides reviewing and motioning many
features relating to currency and baulk
ing Issues for nie year, made special men
' tlon of the Increased circulation of mon
| ey and the small rate of Interest secured
'on United States bonds. Regarding this
, point the report says:
This large Increase during 1909. when
money has been so plentiful, nod call
money In New York at times has brought
only 1% to 2 per < nt, is probably due to
several causes. The principal one is the
fact that the calling In of large amounts
of government deposits held by the na
tional lianks released United Stales
bonds, where were held by tho treasury
as security for public deposits, and to
avoid the loss which would result from
selling them at the market price, the
banks utilized these bonds to take out
additional circulation.
. Another reason that has led the banks
|to take out more circulation is the fact
that the lower prices of government bonds
has Increased the margin of profits to be
derived from their circulating notes. It 1s
principally owing, in all probability, to
these two reasons, tl.at the national bank
circulation has been increased $40,000,900
during the last ear.
The total outstanding circulation Issued
to national banks on December 1. 1909,
was over $707,000,009. an Increase of $40.-
090,000 during the last year. In December,
1905. the total circulation outstanding was
$593,000,000; In Decon ber. 1998. $593,000.-
090; in 1907, $656,000,000. and in Decem
ber a year ago $667,000,000. It will be
seen, therefore, that while there has been
a steady Increase every year, there was
a gain of only $11,900,000 during 1908, as
against $40,000,000 in the last year.
But Slight Fluctuations.
I The note circulation of the Bank of
England shows, conqiaratively speaking,
but slight fluctuations from year to year,
except In extraordinary periods. In No
vember, 1905. the outstanding issues were
.*1,4,500,000 In November. 1900. the Is
sues had decreased to $142,500,000. and in
Ku> ember, 1907. they rose to $147,009,000,
the highest point reported in November
during the last five years. In 1908 the is
sues declined to $141,500,000. but increased
in November 1909 to $145,500,000.
As heretofore stated, the increase of
national bank circulation during the year
ended December 1 was $49,000,000, or 6
J>er cent, as against an Increase of $ll,-
100.000. or 1.6 per cent in 1908 over tho
previous year. The increase in 1907 over
1906 was $62,900,000. or 10.6 per cent. The
increase in 1906 over 1905 was $00,000,000,
or 11.2 per cent .and in 1905 over 1904
$72,000,090. or 15.7 per cent.
It will thus be seen that whilo the cir
culation of the Bank of England has fluc
tuated but slightly, and was but $1,000,-
009 greater In November. 1909, as com
pared with November, 1905, the circula
tion of the national banks of this country
has increased $174,000,900 during the same
period, of nearly 33 per cent. '
The volume of exchanges of the New
York clearing house In 1907 reached $95.-
315,000.000, but declined during the vear
ended September 30, 1908. to $73,630,000.-
000. or a decrease of $21,684,000,000. In
the year ended September 30,- 1909. the
clearings of the New York clearing house
aggregated $90,257,000,000. an Increase of
$25,626,000,000 over the prior year.

WALL STREET SUMMARY’S
REVIEW OF IHE WEEK
United Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. B—The Wall Street
Summary Monday will say:
Rock Island continued to be a disquiet
ing influence in the stock market through
out the week, its advance in the first
two days being attended with almost as
much apprehension and its subsequent
decline. The break In Rock Island re
vived tho belief that the great railway
systems intended to continue the process
of "bottling up” the Important western
lines, which have been prevented in the
past from obtaining a route to the At
lantic coast. How much New York Cen
tral and Pennsylvania bad to do with
the break in Hoek Island and the follow
ing liquidation of the Wabash must be a
matter of conjecture.
The technical position of the market
was considerably strengthened by Rock
Island developments early in tho week.
Some of the largo operators In the street
threw over their lines of long stocks at
tho lowest levels. All this stock was
taken by buyers from outside the Wall
street section.
News developments had little Influence
on market operations of the week The
president's tntssage vas without marked
effect and the reduction of the Bank of
England's rate was hardly discussed as
a market factor, although its ultimate
results. It Is believed, will have an im
portant bearing on price movements
The drain on the city banks from the
west and south due to the fall trade and
the resultant tension in the money mar
ket. was avoided last fall, which'is re
garded as a step in the perfection of lo
cal banking machinery and In some quar
ters the claim is made that the main
tenance of the higher call money rate
was due to the same cause.
The net result of the week's business
were slight declines In a majority of is
sues with some leading railroads and in
dustrials at the close ranging 1 to " points
below the final figures of the previous
week.

COTTON MARKET
STEADIES lIP
Legitimate Influences of Sup
ply and Demand Will
Govern Price.
United Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. B.—At the opening
cotton showed declines of 5 to 10 points
from the previous close In spite of higher
cables. The market ruled nervous and Ir
regular until the last 15 minutes, when
a reaction set In, caused by good buying
and the firm position maintained by
southern spot markets, prices being ad-
from 17 to 28 points at the close,
the high point of the day.
Week-end statistics were considered
bullish chiefly because of fairly large
spinners takings at current high prices.
Tho market situation has become more
healthy, and there is a disposition to con
sider that, for the near future, legiti
mate Influences of scant supply and large
consumption will dominate prices.
Southern spot markets are chiefly re
ported unchanged, and generally speak
ing, it seems quite certain that the sen
sational break In futures, so far. Instead
of weakening the spot situation, has had
absolutely no Influence on holders. This
naturally placed the recent decline In a
purely speculative light.
MESSAGE HAS
LITTLE EFFECT
Wall Street Had Anticipated It
and It Fails to Stir the
Market,
United Press. (
NEW YORK, Jan. B.—After a morning
marked by languid and narrow trading,
stocks closed as a rule firm, helped by
United State'’ Steel's exhibition of abili
ty to sustain the heavy selling, a dem
onstration of firmness which Induced bet
ter buying orders and had a beneficial
effect on the entire market. At the close
Steel was 8894. after reaching above 89.
Reading was on a fractional advance, as
were also the copper shares and a number
of the lading issues. Rock Island was on
a parity with tho pervious close at 46 T »,
though during the morning it was a shade
over that.
The trading from the outset presented
a dull and uninteresting aspect and had
all the attributes cf a market awaiting
further developments In the many factors
hanging In the balance as potential in
fluences. As most of tho details of the
presidential message have been discuss
ed for weeks and were accurately an
ticipated by Wall street, there was no
apparent ripple in the calm surface of the
market and prices of securities dragged
along in languid fashion with small fluc
tuations in prices, and for the most part
exhibiting a disposition to hold firm, at
least on a parity with last night's finals
and In some instances above that level.
The list sagged after the opening. U
P.. Southern Pacific, Reading, New York
Central, Atchison and C. 3t O. falling
half to 9*. The resistance shown by U.
S. Steel and the subsequent large orders
for the stock, which carried It up to 88%
caused a general rally In which Heading
recovered a point. Prices, however, were
not very well sustained.

London, Jan. 8. —The constant adver
tising of the largo American shop in
London never ceases to amaze London
ers, but certainly the cleverest thing
they have done in thnt line so far was
the carefully published news that Lady
Affleck served in the costume depart
ment. Since the publication of thnt item
crowds of Americans and English have
swarmed to buy or at least look at tho
costumes, with surreptitious glances at
the titled saleswoman, who explains her
position thus:
“When I decided to go into business
I made a careful examination of my
talents, I decided that my best chance
of success was as a saleswoman. 'I
commenced to search for a position as

get taken on here. I am on the same
footing with the other girls in this de
partment as regards hours of work and
rate of pay. My one desire is to get
on with my fellow employes and to be
promoted to the position of buyer, earn

CHICAGO WHEAT
MARKET IS FIRM
Strong at the Opening But Is
Weaker at Close of To
day’s Business.
United Press.
CHICAGO, 111., Jan. B.—A strong wheat
market nt the opening and weakness at
the close shows that the speculative wind
was still blowing in the same direction
as It blew the day before. An advance of
%c was followed by 1c decline and the |
close was 44c lower than it was the' day
previous.
Liverpool failed to display weakness |
commensurate with the decline of wheat |
here, but receipts at the commercial 1
points did not promise at tho opening to
be materially larger than those of the
similar dav last year, ns has recently |
been expericncecr With those grains of i
comfort to fortify the still considerably I
lang Interest and believers in future 1
scarcity the market for wheat opened |
firm at about a quarter cent advance. |
Highest for May wheat early In the ses
sion was $1.14’4® 44; the lowest later was I
$1 1344 and the close was at $1.1344® i
1.13’4,
Corn was easier at the opening. Wea- |
thcr was less severely cold with pros- '
Peet on that account of the movement of
the grain to market becoming larger.
Many heavy holders had taken advantage
of the strong demand from shorts to se
cure their profits and did not show a
disposition to buy again.
Market showed considerable weakness
the last hour with May down to ,4SUf> %
but there was a I'ttle rally at the* end
and tie final value was .68’,
Longs who liquidated oats freely yes
terday appeared to have satisfied 'the
Immediate demand from the shorts and
the off, rings today were in excess of
the demand and the market had an easy
tone.
The sale of Canadian oats made yes
terday for shipment to New York at a
lower price, duty paid, than the equtva
hnt of prices, was the cause of some
selling of May oats in the pit. Closing
prices of May was 47\ and of Julv 44’4.
Provisions -Trade was quiet and the
prices inclined slightly in favor of sellers,
although the previous reasons for high
prices were undisturbed. Ijocal receipts
for hogs for the day were 12,000 head

CYLINDERS ME OF
VARIOUS KIKENSIOHS
Four Cycle Type of Motors in
Majority, While Stroke of 5
Inches Is Most Popular
New York, Jan. 8. —Cylinder con
struction, as revealed at the Palaeo
show, again has tbe four cylinder motor
in the van, the six cylinder a bad sec
ond, the two cylinder a poor third, the
single cylinder a worse fourth and the
three cylinder with only one model in
its class.
In the four cylinder class thirty-five
makes will be shown. Six cylinder mod
els number nine, while tho two cylind
ers number only three. Tho single
cylinders are two in number, and the
lone representative in the three cylinder
model is the Atlas.
All the motors are of the four cycle
type excepting tbe Atlas and the Amer
ican Simplex, which are two cycle.
They are all water cooled, with two ex
ceptions.
If the show reveals that tho four
cylinder car is the most popular it will
also reveal that casting the cylinders in
pairs is the most popular, thirty-two
makers casting them that way. Eleven
of the makers cast the cylinders singly,
or separate.
It cannot be said that the practice
in casting the cylinders en bloc is gain
ing, for only four of the associations
have adopted this practice.
