higher.
Tha wheat market opened weak because
of the failure ' of European markets to

PEICES DE0P TO LOWER LEVEL
Oafslde Deanaad Proves lasofllrleat to
Absorb OsTerlaa-a aad Bear Party
Is Eaeoaragred to Make
Aaothrr Raid.
NEW TORK. Vsy ST. Further specj
lstiTe lkiuldstlon was obvious in today s
stotk market, during the progress of wl.Uh
prices were carried to a lower level than
has been touched sinoe the movement b
gan In the latter part of last week. The
downward course of prices finds as little
in the actual news to account for It as
did the previous advance, a fact which
strengthens the view that the operations
sre centered In few hands. While the s-ll-irg
now in progress need not represent
fears of coming unfavorable events. It
must be accepted as a reflection of a cer
tain disappointment over the effect of such
favorable developments as have occurred
and which have failed to incite a sufficient
demand for stocks to absorb realising sales,
eaeept at the price concessions which are
being mad. When the stationary level
was ohce fairly established, there came
Into notice also revived activity on the part
of the encnuraK-ed bear party in the circu
lation of reports calculated to prompt sell
Ins of stocks and so help on the effort to
depress prices, feme such reports bday
were of conridersble effect. This effect
was clearly een in the case of some of
the railroads of lower credit under sus
picion, earlier in the year, of financial em
batrassment. bjt since credited with being
safely extricated from their troublee. On
account of these rescues, the reKjnd In
the stocks from extn-nie depression was
particularly violent, leaving them the more
vulnerable to the revival of rumors im
pugning their solvency. The violent breaks
tn this class In today's market aided ma
terially In the bear campaign for lower
pricea.
The character of some of the crop dam
age reports also awakenod suspicion of
bearish origin by reason of the mysterious
allusions to thf- hidden sources of In
formation on which they were based. The
viultiit fluctuations In grain prices yester
day gave force to these rumors, although
largely due to technical speculative con
ditions In those markets. This was better
perceived today when detailed news of
weather conditions was known. Another
field of bearish Industry was in the al
leged intention of the federal government
in the matter of further prosecutions of
cerporatlons. The filing of the suit of the
government against the New Haven has
left speculative sentiment on this subject
sensitive. However, the Influence of
numerous rumors In this class was some
what dashed by the assertion of the at
torney general, as reported In Washington
dispatches, that "they seem to be stock
lobbing affairs." With these various evi
dences of professional bear operations on
an active scale, the disposition to sell stocks
became less urgent and the shorts found
themselves less able to cover their commit
ments when they sought to buy for that
purpose. The later resiliency of the mar
ket waa the natural consequence.
The easy tone developed in the bond
market waa of more Influence on financial
sentiment even than the break in stocks.
The feeling over the Investment situation
was affected by the reception given to new
notea issues opened for subscription and
for which the demand 1s less keen than for
the high grade bond issues previously of
fered, in spite 3f the attractive return of
thia class of lssufs. The engagement of
more gold for loth France and (rermar.y
added to the sum which must come out
of the total of the banks' cash holdings
in making up the coming bank statement
and which has reached a sufficient figure
to make a considerable proportional in
road even on the wide margin cf the pres
ent surplus. The effect of the week's finan
cing on the loan item, also, must be reck
oned with. The tone of the money market
was not affected.

CATTLE Receipts of csttle were ex
tremely light for a Wednesday, only sixty
eight cars being reported In. Thla waa not
enough to make very much of a market,
still it waa a great plenty.- considering the
unfavorable condition of the trade. In fact
light recelpta were welcome so as to give
the market a little breathing spell and a
chance to recuperate. There seemed to be
orders for a few good caule and buyers
were out in the yards esrly In the morning
and picked out here and there such stuff as
would suit their purposes, paying generally
A little- atronger pricea. In fact quits a
number of salesmen who hsd the right
kind thought they sold out &tjT0c higher
than yesterday. On the other hand, cattle
that did not find special favor tn buyers'
eyes were no more than ste'sdy and all low
price cattle were very slow and hard to
move at weak prices.
Cows and heUera of good" quality were
lh light supply and sold qutte readily at
firm prices as compared with yesterday.
The common to medium kinds were no bet
ter than steady. Good bulla ara selling con
siderably lower than they were a short
time ago. but it ia A noticeable fact that
the commoner grades such as are known on
the market as Bologna bulls were in good
demand and were selling closer than usual
to the best grades.
There were no stackers or feeders In the
yards this morning, but the feeling; waa
about steady.

csrs were direct to packers, and there
were also four or five, cars of feeders. This
tnesns that the offerings of desirable
killers were really quite limited. At the
same tlm there seemed to be s fslr de

changed hands in good season. The pnees
paid were not materially different, the
market generally being Just about steady
with yesterday.
There were several feeder buyers In th
yard, so that stuff not suitable for killers
aold to fairly good advantage for feeding
purposes.

Not Called.
Evidence that the closing day of th
grand Jury are not a harmonious a they
might b has appeared to casual observers.
The Jury for several days ha been lt
tlng in a Jury room opening Into the crim
inal court room. Wednesday morning
loud talk. Indicating that a discussion of
some heat was going on Inside, was heard
emanating from the grand Jury room. Sev
eral members of the Jury passed in and out
of the room with troubled look on thair
face.
Tuesday afternoon one of th member of
the body complained to Judge Sear that
the foreman, T. W. Haxen, hsd refused to
call certain witnesses he wanted examined
and he asked what could be done. Judga
Sears refused to mix In the controversy
and advised th Juror that th body could
call -whatever witnesses It chose. Th re
newal of the loud talk In the Jury room
Wednesday morning Is believed to hart
been the result of an attempt on the part of
certain Jurors to have witnesses called over
the head of the foreman.
Most of the morning session Wednesday
waa devoted to the taking of evidence In
th case of Gerald Scofield snd George L.
Bond, charged with killing John Wred
while holding up his saloon tn South Omaha
and In the rase of Steve 'Eagan. a watch
