VnlJSic lower and provisions 1(3'12M0 lower.
The wheat market opened firm on a
fairly active demand which was based on
the alrength of the Liverpool nisrket. Be
fore the end of the first half hour, how
ever, pikes had declined nearly lo on
profit taking. Then a bear raid, led by a
leading commission house, caused a fur
ther break about the middle of the day.
There was considerable changing from May
to July delivery, which resulted In a nar
rowing of the spread between the two
options. At the . dose the market waa
ioorly supported, would-be buyers being
leld back by the absence of news owing to
the crippled wire service. Buying by
shorts during the last hour caused a rally
of nearly 1c from the low point. The close
waa steady.' .May ripened uncahnged to H
ft'to higher at $1.064 to $1.064yl.O&4. ad

dull and featureless. The market waa
' steady all , day, price fluctuations being
confined Within a half cent range. Senti

closed at R3q: Local receipts were 183 cars.
Immense receipts of live hogs had a de
pressing errect on the provisions market,

R a mora Affecting Railroad Earalnga
taoses Downward Tendency, Fol
lowed by Rally Led by
I . . Steel.
NEW YORK. Jan. 13. It Is not customary
to await the actual occurrence of an ex
pected event before taking action In the
stock market to accord with the event.
That fact was the main one Illustrated by
the action of stocks today In response to
Saturday's disclosure of a restoration of a
surplus over the legal reserve required of
the clearing house banks. The most Im
portant of the baying of stocks Induced by
this development proved to have been al
ready accomplished when the operations
were resumed at the Stock exchange today.
There was a considerable Incursion of
Outside orders, but stocks were liberally
supplied to meet this new demand, although
prices were bid up considerably higher
than Saturday's level to accommodate It.
Most of the new outside buying orders
were executed at the higher Mevel of prices
of the first hour of the day. That proved
also the most active of the day and there
was a notable lapse in the animation of
the market after that. There was an ef
fective rally again' after the realizing sales
were suspended. The profit taking was
conducted with caution and skill, the sell
ing not being pushed aggressively on the
declines, but on any advance the volume
of offerings was quick to swell again.
Professional traders held the market when
they found these obstacles. Attention was
attracted by the selling of another kind,
small In ltslcf but of significant effect on
sentiment. There was realizing sales on
odd lots of stocks bought outright during
the demoralised period by small Investors,
on which large profits have since accrued.
While the heavy accession of cash to tho
bank reserves revealed by the bank state
ment waa accepted as an assurance against
further damage from money shortage for
lending purposes, there was added con
sideration today to Its significance as an
Index to the shrinkage in thn active em
ployment of money in business. The heavy
decreases in the country's bank clearings
gave evidence In the same direction. An
other feature of this tendt-ncy is the large
offerings of national bank notes for cur
rent redemption at thevUnited Stales treas
ury, which marks the beginning of the
automatic tendency to contraction of the
bank circulation. Railroad traffic officials
corroborate the evidence of the bank clear
ings by their testimony to the continued
shrinkage in the freight movement. This
testimony, in addition to the relations of
actual earnings of some railroad systems,
had to do with the renewed weakness of
bond Issues of several companies, which
have been the subject of unfavorable rumor
for some time past. The recession in trafflo
relations Is so severe as to bring Into ap
parent doubt In some cases the ability
to earn fixed charges. The Irregular tone
thus causes In the bond market a bad Im
pression, as a substantial Improvement In
the Investment demand for fixed Interest
bearing securities Is looked for aa the
conclusive demonstration of a fundamental
betterment in the outlook.
The selling to take profits was desisted
from In the last hour of the day and
United States Steel led a long rally In
stocks. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales,
par value, 14,428,000.

LONDON, Jan. 13. Money, was . very
easy on the market today, aa. were dis
counts. In anticipation of a reduction In
the bank of Bi.gUnd's rata of discount.
Trading on the Stock exchange opened dull
on the reduction of discounts of the Imps-
rlsl Hank of Oermdny. Thl. rolipled with
the fact that the Hunk of Knglsnd secured
A;no,ikrt in gold on the open mark.pt caused
a slight hardening of gilt edged securities
snd fiirelgnirn, but these r.c-i'e ri-strlrtd
owing to the settlement and the fresli
Influes that are coming out. American
sharea displayed cbeerfulnees In the fore
noon, the strong New York bsnk state
ment and the denial of a receivership for
the Southern railway causing the bears to
cover. The receipt of a few continental
orders assisted In the Improvement, Cana
dian Pfctflc. however, ruled essy. Toe
New York opening, accignpanled by buying
ordera, improved the entire list, but profit
taking caused a reaction from the best
qaotBtlons and thi market closed quirt.
PKRI.1N. Jan. 13. Not withstanding the
easier money situation the ti.arket today

In Morocco. Americans generally were

CATTLE Cattle receipts I were quite
large this morning, 224 cars being reported
In. The arrivals consisted of a large num
ber of cows and helfrs, with quite a little
sprinkling of warmed up steers and feeders.
Beef steers of good quality were not very
plentiful and In spite of the fact that ad
vices from other selling points generally
Indicated weak or lower markets at the
opening, the trade here did not develop
any material change. Desirable kinds of
steers were quoted just about steady with
last week. The feeder buyers were good
bidders on the half fat kinds, which helped
to maintain the market , on cattle of that
description.
Large buying orders on shipping account
put c - Miderable life into tbe market for
cows and heifers. That, together with .
good local demand, not only maintained
Steady prices, but. If anything, gave tho
market a firm. tone. The trade was rea
sonably active and a large proportion of
the cows changed hands In very fair sea
son. While there were quite a good many
Blockers and feeders In sight, there wss
also a very fair demand, the market being
reasonably active on the decent kinds, at
least, with last week'a prices well main
tained. Quotations on cattle: Good to choice corn

HOGS Receipts of hoga at this point
were very liberal for a Monday. At the
same time Chicago reported the largest
run experienced In a long time at that
point. In fact, the Chicago receipts today
were right close to a record breakei.
Other 'market points had good' runs. Aa
might be expected under such circum
stances, there waa a general downward
movement In nrlcea at all nolnts.
Hogs on this market were generally So
lower. The early sales were largely on a
basis of $4.10 for the general run of good
loans. 11 win lie retnemoered that on Sat
urday most of the hogs brought $4 15W4.174,
with a top at $4 .20. After the more urgent
orders were filled the market eased off and
It became hard work to get over $4.05 for
anything.

early advices from other market points
were discouraging, the trade here opened
in very fair shape and was entirely satis
factory to the selling Interest.
Buyers were all out In the yards In good
season In the morning, snd fair to good
kinds of fat aheep changed hands very
readily at strong prices. In fact, some
salesnirn were quoting the market quite a
little higher, hut as a, rule It waa being
summed up aimply as strong and active.
Good vcailliiK sold at and right around
$5.86. Colorado ewrs, the first of the Sea
son, sold up to $3.16.
4ood fst lambs were also In good demand
and commanded steady prices. Hoth west
el As and Colorado sold as high aa 17.00.
Some In between kinds that were pretty
fair and still not right good, sold 100 lower
than last week, the demand for that kind
not being us brisk on account of there be
ing a liberal supply of better kinds Of sale.
There were a few burry feeder lambs that
sold nt 16 76. The trade was ressonably
active at current prloea, so that practically

MAN A CIPHER FOR YEARS
Single Tax Offers a CompleU Cure,
Sayi Laurie J. Quinby.
SOCIALISM CARRIES BACKWARD
It Advaares Oaly the Old Idea thai
the- Interests of Society Ara
Paraenoaat to Those (
the t'ltlsen.-
"Indlvlduallsm and Single Tax" wss the
subject of discussion yasterdsy afternoon
at the Omaha Philosophical society, and
Laurie J. Quinby, an ardent advocate of
the single tsx theory, led tha symposium
with sn address, much of which follows:
"Since man's advent upon this planet
there have been two conflicting oplnloni
regarding his Individual rights. On the one
hand Is A large number who maintain that
man Is msde for society, while on tha
other a large number contending society
Is made for man. As clvllliatlon has ad
vanced, the former of these Idess has
given way to the latter. Tims was when
the individual was considered the mere'
cipher in the numeral, of which the stste
constituted the unit, or figure.. Ths ciphers
may be multiplied Indefinitely, but with
out the prefixing or them with a figure
they stood for naught. This .figure was
tho stste. The ciphers were considered fit
only gs tollers to maintain the privileged
who constituted themselves the atsts. Ths
ciphers were good enough to carry spears
and be the targets for shot; and having so
died they were flattered with having died
gloriously. But advancing civilisation has
secured a modification of this stats ot
things, until today In every civilised state
the Individual has so ssserted himself ihst
the state hss been forced, to ths recogni
tion of the fsot that the Individual pos
sesses rights which not even the state dare
Ignore. And as society recedes In Us as
sertion of sll sovereignty over ths Indi
vidual, Just so fast does the individual rise
to ths full dignity of his divinity and
might. He Is learning the truth conveyed
to him by Lowel) In the lines, 'Befors
man made us citizens, great Nature mads
us men.'
Golnaj Forwards Backwards.
"If, as some assert, there Is a tendenoy
toward socialism among thosa western na
tions, it Is a sign not of advancement, but
of retrogression, for socialism is tha logi
cal appllcstlon'of tha old Idea that tha In
terests of society sre paramount and su
perior to those of ths Individual cltisen.
"In both tha socialist's and tha anarchist's
contentions thers Is Just enough truth to
deceive, while, aocordlng to your particu
lar point of view, there Is not enough er
ror to alarm. But between these two ex
tremes there Is a rational middle' grouni
that commands attention.
"Government of some form or other must
play Some part In man's political and so
cial relations, and since it Is not given
either to man or to an aggregate of msn
to accumulate any form of wealth except
by labor, and since government must re
quire some form of revenue to maintain
Itself, there Is a natural law, which neither
man nor governments may annul, and this
law produces tha revenue which should
maintain government, but which we allow
to be taken for the benefit 'of private
greed. This natural source of revenue to
which I refer Is ths valua of Isnd. No one
of any Intelligence denies that the valus of
land Is not due to ths efforts of any Indi
vidual, but Is the result ot the aggregate
of Individuals. It Is a social product which
attaches to land In splto of anything that
any Individual may do. It! amount is al
ways fixed In exact ratio to ths- general
prosperity and Improvements upon li. If a
street Is made It increases tha value of
lands adjoining. If parks are built, if any
improvements of any sort ara made, their
exact value Is reflected In the vslus of tha
land upon which they rest. This fact alono
Justifies the assumption that Ood Intended
these natural values to provide, a revenue
for soolal purposes.
"This Suggestion, however, Is but a
glimpse at ths great good to be accom
plished from this reform. Wealth Is tha
requirement of every living thing. Not
wealth In ths sense of large ownership.
Nature never intended man to be an accu
mulater of large estates. "In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread," Is a natural
decree. Now, the production of this wealth
In tha form ot food and clothing and shel
ter, and all ths .necessaries and conven
iences of lifs Is ths result of Only on
thing, that Is, the application of labor to
land. If ones yon recognise ths right of
Any ons to tha exclusive ownership of any
spot of this earth,' then -as far as thst spot
is concerned that owner U the master of
mankind. Let him' extend that ownership
over a wide area I It JS found Upon this
wide area a city must be built, and what U
the result? This Individual to whom yen
have granted' this ownership' is at one
master of all. To. his will all. must bow.
To. him all must pay tribute. . And lor this
tribute what does, hs return to yotiT
"Government, not taking sdvantag 01
this natural means of revenue, Is forced
to levy it In another way, and tereiigh the
tricks of knavery and Creed It raise It bt
thosa who toll. To tax Is to destroy. To
the extent that government taxes the prod
ucts of labor It .checks 'this prodtistlon of
wealth. Aa It checks ths production ef
wesltb it limits Its employment for all whs
toll. Thst Is why progress and poverty go
hand In hand. This Is, why business is re
stricted, monopolies created, enterprise
mads so hssardous that tho majority fall,
and general misery, pauperism sand
wretchedness prevail among all.' nations.
For all these there Is but ons remedy re
move ths blight of taxes from all things
thst the community desires and must have
and place all taxation upon tha valus of
