Cattle The week opens out with a con
tinued heavy run of cattle arrivals today,
being around 600 cars or 16,000 head. Many
of the trains were late getting In and it
was well along in the morning before the
bulk of the reoelpts had been yarded. Con
sequently buyers were slow about starting
out and up to a late hour not much bad
bean done. Early arrivals included no
choice cornfeds. Medium kinds were slow
sellers. The proportion of beef steers in
the western offerings was small, and while
buyers were Inclined to be a little bearish it
looked as though values would bold about
steady. Receipts ran heavily to cows and
heifers, and aa the market closed higher
here last week than at any otner point,
probabilities were that considerably lower
nrlcea would be tn force. mere was a oei-
ter tone to tha atocker and feeder demand
than at any time In the last ten days and
outside the yearlings ana ngni common
tockers, offerings moved more readily and
prices were fully steady to If anything
stronger than last week's close.

CHICAGO CBA1V AND PROVISIONS
Moderate Receipts of Corn Tend to Make
Seller Cautions.
Chicago, Dec, 3. Bulls in corn had an ad
vantage today owing largely to acceptance
of opinions that for the present the like,
llhood of enlarged receipts had been dis
counted more than enough. Prices closed
nervous, c to lo net higher with Janu
ary $1.20 to $1.20 and May $1.18 to
$1.19. Oats gained 1 to 2. The finish
in provisions ranged from 10c decline, to a
rlso of 2c.
Notwithstanding that rural advices told of
heavier shipments coming and despite the
fact that trade continued to expect much
more liberal arrivals in the near future,
the fact that receipt ot corn today were
of only moderate volume had an evident
tendency to make seller cautious. Offer
ings were scarce throughout the session
and It was noticeable that predictions of
excellelnt weather failed to bring about
any change in pit sentiment. One reason was
that strength of oats acted as an offfset
for all bearish developments. '
Fresh buying for export Interests put the
oats market on the upgrade. Talk was
current that government purchasing might
average 600,000 bushels dally.
Provisions averaged higher with hogs
and grain. Realizing sales, however, weak
ened the,, market during the last halt hour.

Lassitude of Market Attributed
to Opening; of Congress;;
Likelihood of War Appro- j
priations.
New York. Deo. 3. In the absence of
definite or specific developments over the
week-end, the extreme lassitude ot today's
stock market was attributed to the re
opening of congress tomorrow. Indications
that war appropriations by the nation's
law-making body arc to assume record
breaking proportions sufficed to limit oper
ations to the meager total of 267,000 shares.
Trading centered around less than a score
of leaders In the railway and Industrial
groups. The latter were Irregular with
occasional spells of steadiness, but rails
lagged, coalers and Pacifies yielding 1 to
almost 2 points.
New low record were made by St Paul

feerrrd at 70. Pennsylvania wat freely of
fered In large lot down to 45, repeating
It present minimum and numerou ether
rails cams within fractional approach of
their lowest quotations.
Prominent steel, copper and the more
distinctive war Isasues reacted 1 to almost
2 point. Pullman dropped 4 point and
General Motor and Studebaker 114 to 2.
Many hitherto active rails and equipments
remained unquoted throughout the session.
The Irregular strength of Marine pre
ferred. Maxwell Motors, Central Leather
and Harvester was traceable to the opera
tion of pools. United States Steel regis
tered a net loss of of a point at 91 and
Bethlehem Steel B forfeited over I point

Coffee Market.
New Tork, Dec. 3. The market for coffee
futures opened at a decline of five points
under a little scattering liquidation, which
appeared to be inspired by the failure ot the
official cables to show any firming up of
the Brazilian markets following Satur
day's report of purchases by the French
government The offerings were light, how
ever, and '.he market later rallied on cover
ing and trade buying, accompanied by re
ports of a firmer tone in the cost and
freight market. May advanced from 783 to
767 and September from 788 to 7S4, with
the market closing at a net gain of 7 to

GOVERNMENT PLANS
TO STABILIZE PRICES
Western Silver Producers Told
Rate Will Be High Enough to
Provide for Wage Increases
and Prevent Loss.
Washington, Dec. 3. Western sil
ver producers who conferred today
with Director Baker of the mint and
Albert Strauss, foreign exchange ex
pert of the war trade board, on the
government's plan to virtually fix sil
ver prices were told that the prices
would be made adequate to provide
for recent wage increases and to in
sure against loss.
It was intimated that the price
would be above the current market
rate of 87 cents an ounce. Some pro
ducers asked for a $1 rate, saying the
cost of production had risen 60 per
cent in the last two years.
Most producers here today were
trom wevadk. lhe delegation was
headed by uovernor Boyle and Sena
tor Pittman. They were told that no
decision on the crice would be
reached tor at least a week until olh
cials had conferred with other pro
ducers from Montana, Idaho, Utah
and Colorado. The word was sent
immediately to leaders of the min
ers' convention in Salt Lake City.
The government's tentative plan is
understood to be to place as large a
proportion as possible of the coun
try's silver production under contract
at a fixed price and to make the metal
at this price available to the allies and
to private purchasers. Stimulation of
output is a considerable factor in the
price question. Needs of jewelers and
other users of the metals in arts and
craft will be regarded as of second
ary importance. , .
iNotlung is contemplated to tire-
vent American silver producers from
getting a fair price for all the silver
they can turn out," Director Baker
told the delegation. He denied that
the government had bought any sil
ver from the Mexican government
or contemplated doing so.
Grarfd Llama of Thibet Offers '
Allies Army to Fight Germans
San Fraucisco. Cal.. Dec. 3. A
fighting force of 100,000 men, com-
nsing priests and peasants of the
"hibetan plateau, have been offered
to the British government for serv
ice with the allies by Dalai; the great
llama of Lassa, according to Ed
mund Heller, noted naturalist, who.
after several months exploring the
wilds ot lhibet, has returned to civili
zation and is here today on his way
to New York with 200 specimens of
mammals for the American museum.
Heller related the prepa ations be
ing made in Thibet for the movement
of a large number of tribabl marks
men and shharpshooters to take part
in the war as allies of Great Britain.
Heller declared them to be the best
marksmen in the world. x
It was necessary to equip them
with modern guns, he said, as Thibet
has no army, and each peasant and
priest lias his own rifle, generally of
an antique type manufacturer by
themselves.
