NEW YORK, Dec. 14. -A brief demon
stration aaa made against the market at
the opening today, but the rest of the
brief session was given to repairing the
moderate losses then inflicted. On only
a few stocks was the decline enough to
call for notice and the narrowness of the
day s movement effectually frustrated suc
cessful trading operations.
ine action or several stocKS wnicn nave
recently been market factors received the
moreaslon that they were overhem, as tney
rallied easily when the bears found out
they were nqj bringing out any long stock.

abandonment of the movement. Recent
weak features, such as American Hugar. !
New York Centra and the Hill and Harrl-
man stocks were foremost in the early de
cline, but they. In common with most other
stocks, subsequently recovered fully. Most
of the limited business originated on the
floor and when the market settled into a
rut the traders found it difficult even to
scalp some small fractions. Today's bank
Statement bore Otit the optimistic views en
tertained yesterday regarding the expected
showing and the more general uplift In
prices at the close today was also to tuts
belief. With, a contraction in the deficit
of over tK.uu0.CtO and again in ' cash of
l4.OT0.0it) the position of the bankers slowly
reached a level at which the question or
the retirement of 'the clearing house cer
tificates will be agitated.
The bond market during the week showed
evidence at times -at good inquiry for active

CATTLE There were no cattle of any
consetjutnee this miirning and so far as
could Lu observed none wanted, It being
as usual 011 Saturday a holiday in the
cattle division. The receipts for the Week
have bten quite liberal, allowing a elight
tain over tho previous week, ut still there
lias been a tailing oil of about 10.0U0 head,
as compared witu the corresponding wecK
last year. The arrivals hav-b consisted
Very laiguly of natives and fed westerns,
wiln quite a Utile sprinkling of runge stuff.
The fed cattlesliiave been almost ntirair
on the wanned tip ordur, there being Very
few strictly goou killers received.
The wecK started out about ateady on
beef steers and during the first two days
the trade was In pietty fair shape, al
though the demanu was not sufficiently
urgent to make a good active market. Ou
Wcdhesday and Thursday prices went down
hill very rapidly and Friday'a market was
very weak. Thus at the close it la safe
to quote the general market 2oc lower than
a v. eek ago. The highest price paid for
beef steers during the week was 46.75 for
one lot of very choice Christmas cattle.
The fact that It takes very good, well
finished cattle to bring $5.4o will give some
idea of the usnditlon 01 tho market. Packers
complained that the consuming demand Is
very poor in ull sections of the country
and the fact, that tiiey do not appear to
want Very many cattle would seem to bear
out their statements. The feeling at the
close ot the week Is by no means encourag
ing and at present writing there is nothing
in sight to warrant a belief In any very
material or lasting Improvement in tho
market. Light runs for several days In
succession as a matter of course might
lead to a sharp reaction in prices, but
such reaction could haruly be expected lu
oc permanent.
hat has been said regarding beef sfeers
would apply in the mam to ine cow and
heiter trade. lucre seemed to be a very
fair demand for the better grades of tut
cows. Mjui as are selling from $3.25 and
upwards, but the tradu all the week has
been vury slow and dull on the common
to medium kinds, closing 25c lower than
last week.
Tho fade in stockera and feeders this
Week has been the dullest and most un
satisfactory -of tho suason. With the tat
cattle marKet in such a discouraging condi
tion and with the price of corn nigh feeders
must necessarily have lots of nerve to
buy cattle even at prevailing low prices.
That the number having the courage Is
comparatively small was thoroughly proven
this wet-K, ine uemana lor teeners aiul
stockera cattle having been very light. As
a result cattle of that description have de-

Tlie pftal receipts lor the week foot up

financial disturbance started and slightly
larger than for the corri-spniuluis; week of
a year ai;o. The market has been wild
and erratic during the whole week. It
started out witn a sharp decline, which
was followed uj on Tuesday, carrying the
mark, t to a point 20c lower than the close
of the previous week. On Wednesday and
Thursday the market shot upward, showing
an advance lor me iwo uays or s;rc. xes

with even more rapidity, the loss in the
two days amounting on an average to not
far from 45c. Thus tlie week closes at the
low point, being 35u4oc lower than the
close of last week and the lowest of any
time since November 27.

SHEEP-There were no fresh receipts of
sheep this mornlns;. but there, were nine
or ten loads carried over from yosterdny.
Included among the numDer wu a strlns:
of six cars of Idaho ewes which sold to a
packer at t3.fl0.
I he receipts of sheep this week have
been sllfthtly lartrer than last week and
very close to a normal run for this season
of the year, the decrease as compared with
a year nxo amounting; to only about 6,000
head. The market, however, has been In
very unsatisfactory condition throughout
the week, both here and at all other mar
Ket points. The demand on the part of
packers has been smaller than usual owinK,
according; to their reports, to the aje.
rreased demand on the part of consumers.
in consequence or the slacK puying- ins
market everywhere has worked downward.
At the close of the week yearlintrs, weth
ers and ewes are fully 2.c lower and In
some cases as much as 4oc lower than a
week ago. The decline lias not been lim
ited to inferior trradi-s, but even the beet
kinds have suffered along; with others.
Lambs, possibly on account of the moder
ate supply, have not experienced quite as
much decline, but still they are lhusic
lower than a week ano,' the common to
medium" kinds showing; the most loss.

rase that was tried recently tiefore one of
the civil com is of his city, and in which
a phonograph played the principal part.
"It was a little matter of a debt that
brought tho parties before the Judge,"
he. said, "and the man sued stoutly de
nied ever having borrowid n cent. It
was alleged by the plaintiff that the trans
action look place In his ro ms, and that
the defendant had given a verbal promise
to pay inside a montn.
"After the defendant had sworn sol
emnly that the whole thing was a fabri
cation, the plaintiff s lawyer quietly pro
duced a phonograph which his client
bad In his rooms on the day the debt was
claimed to have- been contracted, and set
It in motion.
"Immediately the conversation In ques
tion was rejieated, both tlie defendant's
and plaintiff s voices being clearly recog
nizable. The defendant had to pay up.

Millions and miliums of locusts settle,
and millions and millions continue flying
to Bit tie farther on. They have been set
tling In myralds fur luo.milis and more,
and yet enough are left flying to hide the
sun. On the ground that nothing ran b
se-n but locusts t thickly do they pack

visible. As you walk through them a nar
row wake Is left for a few seconds In your
track where they have flown out of your
way, and as they rise In thousands befor
your t ,-et the muse of their wings is like aa
electric power station. Strand Mugaslne.
