NEW YORK. Dec. IB Except for the
considerable vohiraa of dealings In one or
t'o stocks today's market wsa dull and at
times practically Idle. Tha occasional
periods of sctlvity were movements for the
first part of the day. but prices tipped back
to below last night's level, before the clos
ing, snd the closing Itself waa barelv
steady. During tho early periods of dull
ness holders of slocks seemed content to
await the demand and there waa no pres
sure of offerings when buyers paused In
their uptrationa. Amalgamated Copper led
tha market In point of activity and waa
lifted 1 at the top level. Tha strength
and activity of the London market for cop
per seemed to bo the Inspiring cause af the
buying, and copper securities In other mar
kets sympathised with the movement
Even l niled States Steel preferred had
time share In ths early strength of the
market and the urgent borrowing demand
for the stock for delivery pointed to the
necessities of a short Interest. Tne an
nouncement of tha extensive economies
contemplated by the company were accepted
as promising well for the net earnings of
tha corpora 1 Ion. Tne late reaction In the
market, however, centered' in this stock
and Its drop to over a point below last
night's price upset tha whole list and wiped
out the day s gnlns. Tha report of the
passing of the dividend on Crucible Steel
preferred' was sn influence on the stock, al
though that company la recognised as tha
vld !m of troubles peculiar to Itself. The
pending meetings of the members of tha
various eteel pools were subject of inter
ested rurmlse and information of their
firobable action on the subject of mslntaln
ng present prices was hard to get. Rumors
were neara or an intenoea cut in tns price
of steel rails and of tho difficulty in hold
ing the pool together, which may have
helped the weakness of United States Steel
preferred.
The considerable decrease In net earnings
reported by Baltimore Ac Ohio for Novem
ber waa an Influence on the Inside of re
action, which was supplemented by reports
of an Intended reduction In tho prices of
soft coal. The sentiment element seems to
have put aside sny misgivings over the
Northern Securities case. It was argued
that the text of the decision might serve
to define tha legal limitations under which
ths purposes of the merger could be ac
complished, and so clear up the present un
stable condition of the matter.
Sterling exchange developed a very strong
tone on a strong demand for bills, which
was partly attributable to the need to cover
engagements of gold In London for Import.
Several hundred thousand dollars addi
tional were engaged today, and the first ar
rival of Japanese gold at San Francisco
was made available to the New York banks
bv telegraphic transfer. Tho extraordinary
showing of the country'" foreign trade for
November waa studied with aatlsfsction in
the financial district. With an Increase in
value of exports over last year of $S5.000.(Ka
and a decrease in value or imports 01
aOG.OOO the powerful control of the interna
tional exchanges In favor of New York la
made clear.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were oulte
liberal this morniug and the market waa
rather slow. Report from other points
were unfavorable to the selling Interests
and that helped packers In their efforts to
pound tha. market.
Jteoeipts included about forty cars of
corn-fed steers. Packer did not take hold
with any life,' and in fact did not seem to
care whether they got any fresh supplies
or not. Seme ttrime. handy weight cauuie
might have sold at about steady prices, aa
there waa aome inquiry for that kind, but
none arrived. On all other kiiMis. in mar
ket was extremely dull and unevenly lower.
it waa a late hour belore any business was
transacted, as ealtaroen could not make up
their minds to take the or ices offered.
There were some well-finished heavy cattle
on aale, but they were also alow and lower,
The cow market did not show much
change. Recelpta were not heavy, and ae
buyers all wanted a few it would be aafe
to quote the market generally steady and
feirly active. All klnda sold without much
trouble, but If any kind dragged it waa the
cedltim gradea.
Bulls, veal calvee and stags were also
about steady with yesterday.
The suutily of etockers and feeders wsa
light this morning And with a lair demand
prices neia steaay witn yesteraay. com
mon klnda. of course, were alow and hard
to aell at any Diica. while the more desir
able gradea changed handa freely. The de
mand front the country for Btock cattle Is
of course rather limited, but of late the
aupply baa been correspondingly light, eo
there baa been no accumulation 01 cat us

government, but hu cannot cash !t or lire
It unleaa he div'tie with hi wife.-
Apparently a way has been found to beat
the rule of the court which hold that th
age of a government, state or municipal
employe cannot be garnlsheed. John O.
Yeiser claim credit for the discover).
It may be the first time on record that
federal employe's wagea have been suc
cessfully Intercepted. At sny rate. Mail
Carrier Frank can't abend hi money until
he district court give the word. He Is
restrained from endorsing his check or
cashing It In any way save through the
clerk of the court, who ha been officially
Instructed to remit but one-half the
amount. The remainder 1 held for the tem
porary alimony for Frank' wife, who ba
begun divorce proceeding.
Frank and til wlf have lived la a Watly
furnished little home at 720 South Twenty
eighth street. They have been married
about alx year and bav a boy aged i
Mr. Frank, whose given name la Jessie,
became a wife before aha waa 14 year old
On the $1,000 a year salary of a mall car
rier the home waa well supplied with the
neceseltiea and aome of the luxuries of life.
Saya Haaaaaa Waa t rael.
Airs. Frank bases her application for a
divorce on the allegations that her husband
has been very cruel to her, threatening
with words and reinforcing hi remark by
physical violence. In (act, she ray that
h went to the extreme of beating her end
leaving her lying with illuminating gaa
turned on full force from the let. She
asks complete divorce, the custody of the
child and alimony. ,
According to the woman, who claims ahe
ha no mean of support, Frank used this
fact as an additional means of Intimidating
her, aaylng that eh could not force him
to maintain her if she tiled to get a divorce,
because it was Impossible to garnishee the
government, and his wages. Therefore, were
securely his possession, .
John O. Yeiser 1 the woman's attorney
and he f gured out a way he thought she
could beat .the game by securing; aa order
from Judge Baxter Monday eight restrain
ing Frank from negotiating hie check when
he receive it until the divorce suit la set
tled. The government la not mado a party
In any way. In addition to tha abjurations
mentioned, Frank 1 restrained from re
