A. P. Schultze had a letter from Beal
l'umphrey, Jr., yenterday and Beal is un-
doubtedly getting ready to take up life
where he left off when he went to France,

kets for 1918 will also probably set a new
high mark the ten-market supply of hogs
for the year, which will approximate 2i,-
200,000, is something short or the market-
ings at these points for the year 191(1.
Ten markets, however, will show a gain
of more than 3,500,000 head over 1917, and
tlie heavier average weight of this year's
hog supply puts the pork production of
the United States for 1918 on a scale never
before equalled. Several former years
have seen a greater marketing of sheep
and lambs than that of 1918, but the ten-
market supply of ovine stock this year,
approximately 14,750,000 head, is the, largest,
.it these points, since 1914, and exceeds
the 1917 supply by around 1,700,000 head.
One of tlie well-posted men in the live
stock trade says that there will be a de-
crease of a million head of cattle a yean
hence as compared with the total estimated
number, 17.000,000, now in this country.
Keep the figures in mind and see just
how much he will miss it.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
ity Associated Press.
NEW OllLEANS, Jan. 2.—Liquidation was
the dominating influence in cotton today, aftpr
a brief rise in the early trading. Combined
with the offerings from the long side was au
increased measure of short selling. The close
was steady at net ioases of 12 to 42 points.
The early demand was based ou the unfavor-
able weather over the belt and the large ex-
port movement over the holiday, clearancea of
two days from tlila port alone amounting to
alH>ut 55.000 bales.
Exports for today from all ports, 58.071 bales,
no local clearances im aided, caused much com-
ment since they brought the .total for th»» week
thus far up to 157,550 bale^ making It one
of the largest weeks of the season. Bullish
traders made much of the fact that the British
official rate on roctou to Liverpool had been
reduced to $4.80 p«*i 100 pounds for February
sailing as against the recent rate of $0.25.

Relatively few arrivals put a keen edge lo

made the market good, strong and active. Clear
