Cattle The cattle run continues very lib
eral. Receipts today were 334 rars or about
9,000 head, making the total for the first
half of the week 45,845 head. This is by
far the heaviest supply ever received here
in December- There was a fair sprinkling
of natives in the offerings, but the supply
continues to be made up largely of range
cattle. Beef demand showed more life to
day, and early sales of natives were about
steady with yesterday, which means that
they are around 60c to in some cases 7 6c
lower than last' week. On the medium
kinds of range beef the market was active
and firm, though on some real choice stuff
there was not much competition on the
early rounds at least. Butcher stock which
has made up a big end of the supply all
week was plentlful again today, but demand
for fat cows and heifers of all descriptions
Is very broad and trade opened this morn
ing on about a steady bas!s. There w"s
nothing doing in stockers and feeders up
to a late hour. Outside demand Is very
limited and as local dealers have not dis
posed of many cattle the last day or so they
were only in the market for a limited num
ber today. Outlet for stock cows and heifers
was also smaller today and early bids looked
lower. Stock calves have been in very light
supply and anything desirable Is selling
fully steady with last week.

Sheep There
s another liberal run of
sheep and lambs here today. Trade tpej.ed
active on killers, while feeders were again
rather draggy. The big bulk of the offerings
was a fair rrade of fat lambs. Otod lambs
weighing around 77 to 80 pounds brought
up to $16.60. lop being $16.55. The under
tone was good although prices looked a
shade lower than yesterday's average. Fat
sheep were In good demand, ewjs going at
$11 50, or steady with yesterday. There was
a fair supply of good aged stuff. Feeders
were a drug on the market, little outside
demand being apparent, and only a few
loads changed hands on the opening rounds.
Good lambs brought up to $17.00.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Corn Frlcee Advance Owing to Small Re
ceipts) Oats and Provision Register Gain.
Chicago, 111., Dec. I. Corn advanced In
price today owing more or less to psrslstent
smallness of receipts despite announcement
of a better supply of railway cars. The
market closed firm, to lc net higher, with
January $1.21 and May $1.19 to $1.19.
Oats gained 1 to 1, and provisions 60o to
$1.00.
Notwithstanding that a alight tendency
to sag was noticeable at the outset In the
corn market, prospects of new price fixing
legislation appeared to have lost foi 3 as
an element of depression. Unfulflllment of
hopes thst arrivals would materially In
crease' and that rural offerings would broad
en out, led soon to a hardening of values,
and there was a decided further display of
bullish sentiment after a rise in the oats
market to fresh high price records for the
season. A scarcity of corn available for
lmmemdlate delivery waa emphasized by an
advance of rive to ten cents being quoted
for new crop supplies.
Bulge In the price of oat resulted chiefly
from the fact that stocks here were meager
and receipts disappointing In vo.ume, al
though current reports tola or improved
freight facilities.
Buying attributed to packer hoisted pro
visions to the maximum of the day's limit
Offerings were scarce on the way up. Hog
receipts compared unfavorable with last
year totals.

New Tork. Dec. (.Second only In im
portanc to the president' stirring address
to congress yesterday and even more potent
as a market stimulant waa the report sun
muted to that body today by the Interstate
Commerce commission bearing vitally upon
the future of tho railroads of the coun
try.
It Is yet too early to forecast even to an
approximate degree the effect ot tne com
mrrce commission's recomemndatlon. but the
course of the stock market following the
publication of the report left no doubt of
its immediate significance.
Rails were little more than Irregular dur
ing the first half ot the aesslon, with a
new low record for St. Paul preferred at 68.
Early reports from Washington were rather
conflicting, but the first Intimation ot tne
proposed suspension of the Sjherman law
resulted in a rebound in which prices were
carried 2 to almost 6 point above lowest
levels.
Industrials and the entire war list as well
a shippings, coppers and specialties shared
In tho advance. United States Steel for ex
ample, rallied from Its low of 86 to $9,
with Corresponding gains elsewhere. De
cided strenglh ruled at tho very a.ctlvo close.
total sales aggregating 880,000 share.
The news from Waahlngtou was especially
timely by reason of additional unfavorable
statements of railway earnings. Money
rates were relatively easy, but time funds
were In smaller supply.
Bonds were heavy for a time, but
strengthened with the stock list. Liberty
4s ruled at 97.30 to 97,62 and the 3 at
98.60 to 98.71.

"LA TRAVIATA" SUM
WITH GREAT SPIR11
San Carlo Opera Company Re
peats Its Successful Presenta
tion of Emotional Story of
Camille at Auditorium.
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
"La Traviata." one of the Verdi
masterpieces, was chosen by the San
Carlo Opera company for its seccr. I
Omalia production, which took place
at the Auditorium Tuesday. Like
other Verdi operas, it glows with a
warm emotional wealth of melody
Which is both easily understandable
and enjoyable. There is ever changii x
color and expression in the music with
less of the technical complexities which
are often met in other works. The
story, that of 'Camille," is sordid and
unattractive, but brings out the moral
which might be found in many other
melodramatic grand operas, that the
wages of sin is death. "Camouflaged"
by the constant flow of melody, anil
with the power for arousing sym
pathy, handled by a master, much of
the edge is taken off the story.
Triumph for Miss Craft.
When the leading role is in the
hands of such an artist as Marcella
Craf:, the keenest sympathy is felt
for the unfortunate heroine. The
chief interest of last evening centered
in the appearance of this popular Am
erican prima donna, who haswoi. her
way rapidly to the front, both in con
cert and opera. Miss Craft has' a
beautiful voice, not heavy, but very
sweet and sympathetic, which is
splendidly trained. She has a range
equal to the trying role . of Violetta,
and she sings with an ease which be
lies the difficulties of the role. Miss
Craft is not only a singer, but a splen
did actress. She not onljr acts with
sincerity, but with conviction, and
were it not for the beauty of the
tones, one could almost forget she
was singing the role, so allied is it
with the dramatic action. In act II, in
the scene in which she renounces Al
fred, in the trying scene with Alfred in
the same act, and in the closing act,
there were sinany, subtle touches
which proclaimed her histrionic talent
and her artisty. Her high voice was a
constant delight .always clear, and
adequate. - ,
Dramatic Effects Gained.
Guiseppi Agostini as Alfredo, was
welcomed to his first re-appearance
last evening. He sang and acted well .
opposite to Miss Craft, and gained
many dramatic effects, convincingly.
Natale, Cervi displayed again his rich
bats voice in the rol of Dr. Renvil,
and Angclo Antola, Frances Morosini.
Alice Homer and other members of
the cast, were acceptable in their va
rious roles. The work of the chorus f
was not quite as good as in
"Gioconda."
The orchestra in spite of its lack
of strings 'for so large a hall, gave a
good account of itself tinder the
skilled baton of Signor Pcroni, to
whom much of the success of the
production was due. Among the spe
cially remembered numbers are the
chorus in act I, "Ah, Fors e Lui," and
the entire close of act I which be
longed entirely to Miss Craft; her
duet .with Antola in act II, and her
solo and duet with Alfred at the
close and many little orchestral in
terludes and touches. Much of the
effect of the last act was spoiled by
a light left at the side of the Audi
torium which, besides shining in the
eyes of the audience on the first
floor, made just enough light iff the
Auditorium to take away from the
audience that feeling of having a part
in the performance. The Auditorium
was well filled, but the audience was
not equal to that of the opening
night in point of numbers. The at
tention was much better throughout
the entire evening, and was in itself
a tribute to the production. '
