Last evening the "Buttlnskey" club gave Its first annual dinner at the Henshaw. If ths wishes of those who attended be car ried out the club will hereafter give an an nual dinner as often as once a week. It was one of the most successful Informal affairs at which good fellows ever tnet, and was so voted by all on dispersing. The "Buttlnskey" club Is a little organisa tion of business men who customarily lunch together, and who have made a practice to dispense with all formality during at least the one hour, from 12 to L each day, and, remembering that they sre busy men In a world that has Its own cares, during that hour they cease to trouble themselves about business worries and try to help each other to forget. Sixteen sat down last ntght ip a carefully appointed menu that was faultlessly served, and which was marked by a number of pleasant little surprises. When each had rally folded his napkin and lighted his cigar and that wasn't so readily done. either Toastmaster Edgar Allen gave everybody a chance to say something. Most of the talks were expended In felicitating Mr. Buttlnskey himself, who had arrived a little after the feast had started, and In expressing the delight that had been af forded each and all by the circumstances nder which they haj met and the Inci dents that had marked the progress of the several courses. To those wKo have at tended at the Den of Ak-Par-Ben It Is ex planation enough to say that Walter Jar- dine and Augustus H. Renie devised the several little affairs by which the gustatory process was expedited, while Mat Collins and Frsnk Dunlop manipulated an ar rangement that was productive of Joy to fhem If to no one else. Before the session had been declared ad journed Councilman Dave O'Brien told of the hunting trip he, Collins and Dunlop made up along the "High Line" last fall. It was chickens they wrre Bfter. and on the first day out they didn't see many, and didn't shoot any. for they had no dogs. Dunlop distinguished himself by his mns- terly marksmanship, missing an easy shot. although he tried both barrels. On the re- urn to the ranch they determined not to go out the next morning without the dogs. O'Brien says he was up the next morning bright and early, with his hunting clothes on, looking like the real article, and try ing to hold his gun as If he was used to earn ing one. when Dunlop espied him. "Hey, there, Irish!" called Dun'an, where are you going with that gun? Bring It back here and leave It In the kitchen. Tou won't need It today, for we're going to have the dogs to hunt with." Those who sat down together shortly after ( and left the board a little after t were:. waiter Jardlne, vice president: Frank H. Dunlop. secretary: Edgar Allen. James O. Martin. George F. Thomas. D. J. O'Brien. M. H. Collins, Elliott D. Evans. R W. Dyhall. J. B. Rahm, T. W. McCul- ough, C. S. Huntington. R. S. Wilcox, Gua Rense, Mel I'hl and Rufus Harris. II. Vance Lane, president or the club, was cabled east on business and coupl not pre side. SORENSON NEEDS CLOTHING Gives His Own Away and Stolen Gar- meats Are Takea Away from Hlsa. Solomon In all his glad garments waa not arrayed like Louis Sorenson when ar rested on Sixteenth street last evening by Detectives Heltfeld snd Donahue on a charge of burglary and grand larceny.' Sorenson Is charged with entering the apartment of Annie Braoj conk at the Pratt boarding house, 212 South Twenty- fifth street, yesterday afternoon by climb ing through a window and with break ing open the woman's trunk and taking therefrom SSI and a gold watch. Sorenson then fitted himself out with new shoes, clothes and ha' In fact, every thing he had on, except his socks, waa brand new when he was brought to the police station. The old suit of brown In which hs had been seen a few hours be fore the robbery was given to a poor Dane, so Sorenson said. He said he felt sorry for the poor man. At the police station Sorenson was di vested of the garments whldh had been purchased with the stolen money. Then the matte. of finding suitable raiment for the garroentless man waa a proposition to ths police department. Sorenson Is a small man and would not have looked becoming In an old policeman's salt that might have been found around the station. Dan Baldwin offered one of his gymnasium suits and Jim Kirk had a spare blanket. which was offered until a suit could be found for the man. A suit was eventually secured and given to him. Sorenson has been employed for several months at the Pratt boarding house as yardman and left a few days ago. A por tion of the money waa recovered when Sorenson was searched at the police sta tion.

CHICAGO, Jan. I. Heavy liquidation due to more peaceful nens from the far east resulted In a severe setback to wheat prices today. May wheat closed l'afelc below last night s figures. May corn is down SuSc. and oats f0c. Provisions are luc to lower. Before trading began reports Indicated that another eflort would be made to avert hostilities over Corea. British consols showed an advance, while foreign grain markets reported declines. There was con siderable wheal fur sale here at the start and May was Vj c to V7Tc lower, at IseVu&'C. A little aupport from the lead ing longs sent May up to 87(jjtf7Hc, but of ferings weie so liberal that the demand from that source was soon satisfied and the market eased off again. Later in the day the big bull operator became an open seller and prices slumped badly, May declining to 6iS?N''c. '1 he domestic situation was con- siuerably bearish, a large Increase in tne vlsihle supply being expected for Monday. Receipts were large and the cash demand slow. Covering iy i-borta caused some recovery late In the day. but the sentiment continued weak, and May closed at 0c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to aii.JuO bu. Primary receipts, 845, ooO, against 6uG,4"0 a year ago. Minneapolis, Du lulh and Chicago reported receipts of 672 cars, sgainst bU cars last week and 427 cars a year ago. Corn was comparatively firm early In the day, owing to small receipts and the poor Quality of the corn coming in. together with the higher Liverpool markets. With the big decline in wheat the corn market was dragged down in sympathy. Offerings, how ever, were not Urge and came mostly from small holders. May opened Sc to c lower, at 47'0-t7i4c, and after selling at 47iC the price declined to 46c. closing at 46: 47c. Local receipts were 365 cars, with one of contract grade. Oats weakened along with wheat, but there waa not much enthusiasm on the short side for the reason that the big line held by the leading bulls Is still Intact. The improvement in the shipping demand also tended to restrict orterlngs. May opened Hjic to c lower, at 894'a39c to S-tc, sold between 39Vc and 3S"i.ic. clos ing at 394c. Local receipts were nineteen cars. 'Provisions were weak. Influenced at the start by a decline in the price of hogs, and later by the alump in grains. The selling was quite general and aa prices declined stop-loss orders were reached, which in creased the weakness. May pork closed 30c lower st 112.80, May lard was off 12,c, at $6.90, snd ribs were down loc, at fci.Wn. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat. 2B cars: corn, f6 cars; oats, 119 cars; bogs, 4i.0u0 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.l Open. Hlgh.l Low. Close.l Yes y.

For tne week receipts show a gain over last week amounting to about 6.000 head, but as com pared with tha same week of last year, there is but little change. Cornfed steers have been In fairly liberal supply all the week. The demand, how ever, was very brisk the first of the week Vrt.i "It,:" l:"c.e' "Fry:?.- "2 and oa a result-they pounded the market ;QrT" : "L.r.' ?" rv.T-,r.: the same position It was at the close of Iat week. Shorlfed cattle are quotable from $3.76 to $4.25, fair to good from $4.40 tS $4.75 and well finished cattle sell from that up to $5, or even a little better. The cow market waa also active and strong the first twirt of the week, but the same as steers, cased off a little on Friday. The choice grades may be a trifle stronger than they were a week ago. but still there Is hardly enough change to be worthy of mention. Other kinds sre quotably steady. Canners and outters are selling trom $1.33 to $2.50. fair to good grades from $2.6u to $3.0o snd good to choice from $3.50 to $3 85 and something strictly prime might sell c en a lime nigner. Bulls have been In eood demand sit h week and have advanced considerably. Bo logna grades sell from $2.50 to $3.0ii. fair to food from 13.00 to 33.50 and good to cluilce rom $3.50 to $3.S5. Veal calves are abiut a quarter higher for the week, best grades now selling around $5.25, or even a little better. Blockers and feeders have been In small supply an the week and with a lair de mand the market has advanced 16025c The commoner kinds are selling from $3 23 down, fair to good from $3.25 to 33.6J and good to choice from $3.50 to 33 ii.

The advance however, was very largely confined to the heavier weights and the light stuff was neglected the same as usual and left umii the last. Later In the morning reports from Limnsci were very unravoranie to the Ber ing Interests and the market here as a re sult closed slow and weak. Good weight hogs sold largely from $4. 65 to 34.70. mixed from $4 00 to $4.65 and light stuff from 34.55 down. In spite of the slow close practically everything was out of first hands In fairly For the week receipts of hoe-, show slight decrease aa compared with last week, nut mere is a email increase over the cor responding week of last year. On Monday of this wek there was a sharp advance in prices, theaverage of all the hogs amount ing to $4.,o.

SHEEP-There were sbout seven cars of sheep snd lambs on sale this rooming and the market eould safely be Quoted sternly and active. Some Colorado Mexican year linga .old as high as 35. which Is the ton price of the season ot date. A bunch of lambs sold for SVSO. which was also a fully steady price. Everything offered sold lo good sesson. For the week receipts have been very liberal, as there is a gain over last week amounting to abc.'it l0.i head, and as com pared with the corresponding week of last year the gain amounts to sbout Mono head. The demand, however, has been fully eo.ua! to the supply, and as a result prices show a sharp advance. Anything at all desirable in the way of killers can safely be quoted a quarter higher. Handy weights sre in the best demand snd naturally show the greatest advance. Some of the less de sirable grades are probably no more than ISc higher for the week, but the grneraj market on anvthlng decent Is right around a quarter higher Feeders have been In small supply and ss there has been quite s demand from the cotintry prices have advanced even niore than on Killers, feeder lambs, for example, are se'.llng sll the way from 34 to i and sheep and yearbngs have shown a corresponding gain.
