TOO HIGH-TONED FOR ORDINARY TRADERS

Dec. M The Irfltcr crowd
took n turn nt the May option In wheat to-
flny and the market In consequence closed
at the top of an ndvnncr of IHc. The trade
was the nlggcM In the pit for several weeks.
Corn was viry strong nnd advanced fcfi c.
Oats cloned VMJVtC higher. 7'rovlslond were
Influenced by sratn and advanced
a big trade.
Wheat opened n trine under Saturday's
closing price , May BUrtltis at 92Vlfi92Vkc. :
Under covering l y shorts the slight decline
was quickly recovered and the market dur-
ItiK tlie next hour kept a little above the
final quotations of the preceding m-sslon.
Trading during ttic time referred to wns
not heavy and won nlmoct entirely of n
local pr jfcsslonal character. The opening
decline was probably duo to the lieavy re
ceipts at Chicago , much ot which was of
contract irrade. but this was apparently
forgotten when It was seen that It did not
kucp buycru out of the market.
Mlnne-apollH and Dulutti reported receipts
nt Wfi CIM , nffnlnst 1.2S4 the week before
nnd ! i03 the correspondlns week of last year ,
Chicago received , .18 cars , of wftlch 272 were
No. 1 northern sprlnp and Eli cars of No , 2
red winter , and 101WO , ! > u. and SS carloads
were transferred from unlicensed to ri-RUlar
elcvntorn. An addition of about 611,000 bu.
was made to the contract Htoek .
The total quantity shipped from all quar
ters to Europe and the United KliiRdom
last week was 0.7.G,000 bu. , iiBiilnst S.lfW.OQO
liu. the week before. Of last week's total
ItUftRla contributed only 1SSOOUO bu. , against
2.112,000 bu. the previous seven days. This
country nnd ( "unndn whipped as usual two
thirds of the whole. T.ic clearances of
wheat nnd Hour from Atlantic ports were
620,000 bu.
It wa not until after the visible supply
statement for the week was completed and
the Increase In thu stocks found to bo
smaller than expected that the market Rave
tiny very clear Indication as to which side
of the deal It would ultimately favor. With
that out of the way nnd the week's In
crease only 821.000 bu. . as n nlnst from
] ,000,000 bu to V > 00,0"0 bu. Increase looked
for. the bull fcellntr began to predominate
and the price soon responded. The total
of the day's clearances from the fenboard
was Increased to 717,000 bu. by shipments
from Galveston , Thiit truve further courage
to the buyers , who took more Wheat at on
advance of Ic over the earlier price they
paid for May. nnd of course the more the
bulls bought the more was also wanted by
Btich of the bears as had been selling dur-
Inp th first hour. Allen & Gricr , repre
senting the I-elter crowd , were very prom
inent In the- buying , leading It , In fact , but
trade was greatly Increased with plenty
of outside orders.
Shortly after the opening May advanced
< o OS ic nnd hung for nn hour between that
price nnd D2Hc. The heavy buying which
commenced after the announcement of the
day's clearances gave frcsJii impetus to the
Advance and at the close May was bring
ing 94lfcc ,
December attracted but very little atten
tion ; the general body of speculators aban
doned It long ngo and nre now merely on
lookers at the narrowed down combat be
tween the Letter-French bull combination
nnd the Armoiir-Wearo-Senvcrns-Penvey
cleviitor Interests. It ranped between D9c
nnd $1 02 and closed nt $1. About uOO , K )
VU , arc said to have been delivered by Ar
mour to the Leiter crowd In the afternoon.
There wus a. greatly Increased trade In
corn , operators In wheat and provisions
both being In t'he ' market , and prices were
llrm and higher almost from the start. The
action of Wheat , the smal receipts. 1C3 cars ,
and the visible reduction ot 2,141,000 bu. all
helped. The market showed Its greatest
strength after the visible statement. May-
ranged from 23isc to 23Vkc and closed % Qc
Cilriner at 29c. ,
Oats was llrm , but did not keep pace with
-wheat and corn and showed but Hfittc ad
vance at the close. There was better buyIng -
Ing iby elevator concerns nnd by commis
sion houses in general , but them was also
a tendency to realize. Cash demand was
not so g-ood The visible increased 34,000 bu.
Slay rnne-ed from 22Tic to 22c and closed
at 22-'jfi22c. , .
Provisions were very strong and the volume
phowed considerable
ume of speculative trading
erable Increase The market started firm
nnd htpftier , helped by the light run of hogs.
Some of the later strength came from the
advancing wheat and corn markets The
feature was the purchase of about 2.000,000
pounds of ribs by one llrm. The highest
prices of the day were quoted at the close.
May pork , 20c higher nt J9.05 ; May lard. lOc
hlr.hiT at $4.GO nnd May ribs 15c higher at
'Estimated receipts for Tuesday : "Wheat ,
WO cars ; corn , 400 cars ; oats , 410 cars ; hogs ,
33000 head.
Leading futures ranged as follows.

XEW YORK. Dec. 20. After a few spasmodic
efforts to continue the rise of Saturday today's
stock market fell back Into a decline and failed
to recuperate. The aggressive strength of som
of the specialties nt the opening served to sus
tain that market for a time and to give It an
appearance of strength , but realizing sales In
the general list went hand in hand withIn
manipulation for n rise In Epeclaltlc and even
the stocks whii'h had shown wide gaps los
after profits had been taken In the genera
list. Coalers were strong as a group on account
of the Brewing belief In an agteement to re-
stiict production and to keep up prices. They
were also helped by the cold weather nnd the
consequent Increased demand for the product.
New Jersey Central was at one time 2 points
higher and Rending first preferred ICBC to nearly
51. Suear crossed 140 during the day. Manipula
tion of the Plttsburg , Cleveland1. Chicago &
St. Louis stocks advanced the common 3W 1'er
cent and the preferred 2l per cent. Consolidated
Gas was also 3 points higher at one time.
None of the gains were entirely held and some
of them were practically wiped out. Union Pa
cific was another stock that enjoyed a period
of strength In the late dealings , but It also
reacted. Karfeas City. Plttsburg & Gulf , which
is not usually \ery conspicuous , attracted at
tention today by a cudden break of something
over 4 points and n sudden recovery of al
most all the decline. The flrst mortgage bonds
of the company reflected the weakness of the
stock , though hot to as much a degree. There
was no news to account for the action of the
stock.
The contradiction of Saturday morning with
drawals of gold from the Bonk of England
for New York shipment had much to do with
the termination of the rally which pet in on
Saturday mornlne. The conditions of the mon y
market continued to dominate the situation In
the stock market and the stiffening of the rates
for call loans from 4 to D per cent checked
t.ie hcpes of those speculators who thought they
raw nn assurance of continued ease in money
by Imports of specie. No doubt Is felt that
the isrge trade balance In our favor Is a aulli-
clent security ncalnst any real stringency In
money at New York. Hut It Is not believed a
4 per cent rate for call money will result In
a movement of specie. In view of the existing
hlgli rate for monev In LonOon and la the Eu-
roitan countries. There Is not much prospect
of easy money until after the first of the year
and until that time a halt In speculative ac
tivity In i-ecurltles l felt to be probable. In
what Is known BB the outulde market standard
liquidating certificates weie strong and sold as
high us : < >
The bond market was not as nctlve as of
late. Imt prices held firm with the exception
of Home of tiie speculative bonds Total ! > Hle .
United'States 4s. both of 192J and of 1507 , were
tt per cent lower bid today.
The Evening Post'u London financial cable-
Krnm nays : "The stock markets here today
weie of the holiday kind , with Irregular move
ments end a rather dull tone generally because
of the territorial wiunbble In China. Japanese
bonds were flat. Americans were good1 on New
York support and closed steady. There Is sur
prise here that New York should be looking
for gold the belief heie tielns that none will
vc there from London unleiU either the New
York market rises considerably or the liondon
market declines , neither of which appears prob
able at the moment. "

CATTLB It has been a long lltno since
receipts on a Monday were as small as they
were today , only thirty fresh loads being re
ported in the yards.
Only tiiree or four loads of beef steers
were offered , and as there was not enough
for any one packer to get a killing the
tradi ? was naturally slow and ilevold of In
terest. Buyers were claiming that the mar

much changed , though medium cow stuff
was rather weak , canners or very choice

Itoth In number nnd In sire the mall orders

In the main , though , thfre Is no Increase In

In some quarters nre quite heavy , sellers feel
that they will haxe to reduce prices before tney

coiufnrtn of Skymi-rnpi.T'i ,
C. J. Woodbury says In the Globe-Demo
crat that while we are progressing fairly
well In the matter of ventilating our large
buildings , we have somewhat further to KO
In sanitary science before we reach the
ideal Indoor atmosphere , Jlr. Woodbury
points out that the constantly increasing
heljrtit of office buildings , while bringing
their upper occupants relief from the noise
of the streets nnd giving' ' them the comfort
of transacting their business above the My
belt , which is as well denned as the snow-
line on a high mountain , also exposes them
to a fine dust which pervades the whole
structure The modern mefhod of heating
and ventilating such a building Is by means
of a blast of air drawn down u Hue , warmed
and forced through the building In such
quantities that four times the volume of
the bulldlnpi is frequently circulated through
the rooms each hour. Although this method
of heating Is more efficient than direct radi
ation In rooms , is less expensive and affords
the sanitary requisite of ventilation without
cold drafts. U distributes laritie amounts of
dust through the building. In a city using
bituminous coal there Is a line Impalpable
carbon deposit , whichIs especially objec
tionable , spoiling or clogging urawmsa.
books and delicate mechanisms , nnd pro
ducing tenacious smudges whenever It Is
touched This dust la not only disagree
able but an undesirable substance to take
Into the lungs , ilr. Woodbury's plan for
removing It from the air Is to uac cotton
cloth filters , so arranged that the air shall
approach the fabric at an acute angle. The
momentum thus carries the dust wyond
a point where the air passes through the
niter The dust particles are found to have
a tendency to glance off and be carried to
the bottom of the filter , rather than to c.og
the Interstices In the fabric. A successful
trial of this method was made in a build
ing of nearlv r.00,000 cubic feet capacity.
through which 2G , iO cubic feet per minute
was usually blown for heating and ven
tilation The outside air used for t'he ' pur
pose was drawn down a flue thirty-seven
square feet In cross section , and reached
a velocity of 700 feet per minute. From
half a peck to a peck of dirt per month
was gathered from the filtering bags. The
efficiency of the device was tested by
placing freshly painted boards at the bottom
tom of the flue before the Installation of
t'ho ' apparatus , and then giving- another
coat of paint after the device was in
service Jn the first Instance , the fresh
paint collected line dust until It resembled
line sandpaper , and In the second , the paint
dried into a smooth surface.

Great complaint Is made of the unequal
distribution of the bleu'lnss of life , but the
onrrmlzntlon of the social system does not
c.iuse nny Inequality In the distribution of
tlKi Rfcatest blesilnjr of all. Affection Is In
dependent of poverty or riches ; It bears no
rulutlon to material circumstances , Kvery-
body gets of It the full sluiri ; he deserves ,
slnoo the ble'sliiR Is rather hi the bestn.val
of the affection than In the receiving of It.
Accordingly , we do not need to supgest to
our Inquiring friend nny particular gift.
Whatever he Rives to the Rlrl will be Rlorl-
lied by the affection It symbolizes and to
\\hlch It appeals.
