The new year finds conditions In lines
of canned goous rather favorable, so iar
as the packer and jobber arc concerned.
It is generally conceded that the retailer
is carrying a considerable stock of toma-
toes, corn and salmon, and while tho
lear is expressed that the first few
months of thr» new year will be slow
thertf is held to be little doubt that tho
buJk of tho stocks now in the hands o
packers will find a markot before th-
ins w pack Is available. There has been
unusual conditions of business consid-
ered—no marked shrinkage of values on
the staple products in canned goods. ^ li
tiie last two months a drop of Go to
per dozen h3« been noted ill tomatoes
and from oc to lev per dozen in corn
This shrinkage in values has been du
chiefly to the linancial stringency, nl
though tho effects of a large pack of
tomatoes and a considerable supply of
corn have been noticeable.
* • •
Regarding tomatoes and corn, Strut*
baugh, bilver & Co., Aberdeen, Md., say
"Tomatoes and corn continue firm, witl
quotations the same as ia.st week. Spar
orders for car load lots only, but a strong
undertone, and well posted authorities In
tiinate renewed and considerably heavie
buying alter the turn of the year, when
the stock-taking period is generally over
and the consumptive season for these ar
tides begins. While future and later
wales of 1307 packing were considerably
heavy aiul far ahead of ajiy previous
years, it is conservatively accepted that
tho greater percentage of these sales
have already gy.ne to me retailers' slielv
or out to the consumer, for the jobber is
not indicating any heavy stocks on hand
.and the pucker is not holding an excep-
tionally large percentage oi his pack
J.he help, growers and all bills settled,
the packer is in an entirely independent
position. The year, as a whole, has not
been a poor one for him; ho has enjoyed
his share of prosperity and I here is noth-
ing on tho horizon at the present moment
to indicate lower values from now on.

SPOT MARKETS,
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The course of
today's stock market was a succession
of backing and filling', reflecting the un-
certain feelings of the professional ele-
ment, which was concerned more in the
dealings. Opposing considerations came
into play at different times and enjoyed
a temporary ascendant in shaping the
course of prices.
Larly in the day factors of depression
were given most weight in the discussion
on the floor of the Stuck Exchange, al-
though Che activity of Northern i-'acitle
probably had as much effect on prices
111 general as any larger development in
affairs. At the same time the series of
poor railroad earnings reports for No-
vember aroused grave apprehensions of
the ultimate consequences to dividend dis-
bursements of such a scale of inroads un
the net return. The Pennsylvania Hail-
road was added to the li»-t today.
A minor factor In the morning's de-
pression was the report of the failure of
a small bank 111 <. olorado. Speculative
support centered un Heading, and it was
the rise la that stock that turned the
market upwards. The rapid easing of the
call loan market was a help to the ytock
market. The stock market turned very
strong after the estimates of the cur-
rency moxemcnt appeared. An advance
in prices of refined sugar had quite a
prt nounced effect on the sentiment re-
garding the commercial and industrial
situation, and a number of industrial
stocks became strong, led by American
sugar itself.
J>oik!s were firm; total sales, par value,

NEW OltLEANS, La., Jan. 3.—Spot de-
mand was interrupted by the holidays
and there Is no eonrerted bull move-
ment in tho South, and th. only trad-
Ins market yesterday being New York,
they could follow their natural bearish
Inclination without any opposition what-
soever. Several larg. operators were re-
ported as having turned sellers on the
view that ginning figures of the 9th
would ho large. News that 4 receiver
had been appointed for the Seaboard Air
Line revived apprehension about finan-
cial developments. The sharp break in
Niw York came as a surprise and there
was much frightened selling here this
morning at a decline of about 30 points.
Bears in New York and here bought
freely on the break. The ease with
which t'ie market can be thrown has In-
timidated what degense there was form-
ing on the bull side and the rumor that
the National Ginncrs Associatisn esti-
mates ginning to January 1 at 10,001,000
acts in the same direction This would
me.tn about 750,000 ginned during thii
period against 628,00* last season. Al-
tliough ginning* must exceed last year's to
get a final total of 11.500,000, It would
support the contention of the bears that
cotton has lieen held back • unginned.
Should the census confirm this figure it
would very likely have a bearish effect,
•t least temporarily. Xfca spot market

New York Cotton.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The cotton mar-
ket has not displayed much animation,
even In the fuce of resumption of busi-
ness on the various exchanges which
have closed over the holidays. The slow
sagging decline In New York yesterday-
was temporarily checked this morning
nnd the low level was reached In the
first half hour of trading. Selling by
room traders brought the easier market
earlier, but support of only & temporary-
nature served to rally prices sev-
eral points. There was announced Mr
Price's ejrtimate of cotton ginned to De-
cember 31. 9,913,090 bales, along with his
statement that the records shown are un-
precedented for a period largely taken
up with the holidays. The figures for the
working days averaged about 70.000 bales
daily. This report did not disturb prices
much and the market drifted along aim-
lessly. The rumors this morning favor
a report of the National Glnnera Associ-
ation at about 10,400,000.
Certainly ginning has been In progress
on an extensive scale during December
but It may be thftt this la the final
outburst and that the figurea will show
Galveston.
