There was somo reaction from the top
on profit taking, but the close was strong
with prices showing net gains for the day
of 'o to Vac. .
Corn closed weak, and oats and provis
ions easy. Renewed buying by leading
bulls was again the. feature In the wheat
pit and the demand from this source held
the market strong all day, despite liberal
reajlxln sales, which at times caused
slight recessions In prices. Rumore were
current on tho floor of the exchange that
several of the bull leaders are endeavoring
to engineer what promises, It is said, to
be one of the most spectacular "deals"
ever in the history, of the local board.
1 ITTfons to a avarice prices were given Im
petus by the report of a local crop ex
pert, which claimed that conditions of the
fall-sown crup of wheat In this country
on December 1 was the lowest ever re
corded, being 78.9. against 90 a year ago.
Tho report further stated that tho condi
ilnn was low everywhere except on the
Pacific oast, and thill in the states east
of the Mississippi river the condition Is
snatlonally poor.
Decreased receipts In the northwest, also
helped to Inspire bullish sentiment.
The market opened firm, with prices 4c
lower to 4c higher. December being at
$:."5in'l 054. and May at 31.09VS1 09',.
During the day prices advanced 4 but

NEW YORK. Dc 2 The violent specu
lative movemenut In the Hock Island se
curities, which broke out yesterday, con
tinued In the early dealings today and
"',rew the market int some turmoil.
There was notable subsidence of tue ex
citement when the authorised statements
were made of the financial operations about
which the speculation centered, followed
by a violent break In prices at the end
of the day.
The. rnnrparlsnn of these official state
ments, with the rumors which had pro
ceeded them, disclosed so much of exag
iTratlon and di,ltnftirtn of the rumors thut
there was a 'disposition to hesitate about
following the leadetsliip in the mark.-t
rounded on such motives.
The tone of the market thereupon fl!
Into unsettlement and there was a notable
contraction In the dealings.
Assertions were published over night
I J ih" 9t- 1''-,uls San Francisco bonds
had been stdd to an amount of 45.ijo.i.
sufficient to provide for all maturing obli
gations of the company falling due this
k'j and noxt aml to furnish resources
besides for extensive project in contempla
tion. These reports pointed to the banktr.g
house which usually acts for the Harriman
interests as the source of tais financial
assistance and the inference was brotullv
conveyed that association for mutual ad
vantago between the Harriman and Rock
Island systems was to be assumed as a
consequence.
Speculative enthusiasm, after rushing Into
the murket during the first htur, was some
what dampened lv the fo
of Kuhn, Uwb Ac Co.. the Cnlon Pacific
bankers, that thev had withdrawn from
the St. Louis & Sun Francisco flnar.cli.g. i
"men. nan oeen taken over bv Spever &
Co., who have acted in Rock Island finan
cing on previous occasions. The Incident
was regarded as Involving some show of
friction rather than an approachment of
the financial groups concerned.
The secondary effect on speculative senti
ment was harmful rather than beneficial.
Rumors were also circulated of a project
for the formation of a holding company
to bring the various Oould properties into
closer relations. These also met with dis
claimers from authoritative sources. The
statements of October earnings of the
Harriman Pacifies were r-'lled upon to gtve
fresh stimulation to the market, but their
publication failed to bring any response,
their favorable character having been over
discounted.
The comparisons with the corresponding
month of last year in these statements
were. In fact, less favorable than were con
tained In the September statements. A
contributory cause to the later reactionary
tendency was tho continuance of stiffer
rates In the call money market. The en
gagement of gold for export was an in
fluence on this, the fl.Suo.oon to be for
warded to Parts tomorrow being already
assured of a supplement in a later move
ment. The rate at which new bonds are coming
on the market and the evidence of this in
today's news is calculated to make an
Impression on the money market with tlie
rate of absorption of available capital tMus
indicated. The time monev market was
afectetl to some extent and the tone was
called firmer. Reports nf a decided lull
n the Iron and steel trade had an effect
in keeping Vnited Htates Steel heavy, and
ine lone oecame weak when advance sheets !
oi me iron Ages weekly review of trade
conditions appeared in the street.
This and the disappointment over the non
effect of the Harriman earnings statements
in reviving demand decided the late ten
dency of tho market downward.

ixith sheep and lambs of good quality sold
very readilr at good, strong prices. Very
well finished fed western lambs sold up to
Kft. which was loc higher than anything
brought yesterday, but It must be under
stood that they were thoroughly well fin
ished. Hangs lambs from the wheat fields
sold lip to $t26. with good fed yearlings
as high as 16 60 and fed ewes of pretty fair
quality at 14.26.
While the market on thoroughly good and
well finished sheep and lambs was In very
satisfactory condition, as noted above, the
half fat and warmed tip kinds were very
slow sellers at unsatisfactory prices. As
noted yesterday no one wants the unfin
ished stuff and shippers who send In that
sort of thing must expect to get the worst
of It.
What few feeders there were sold t
about steady rrlces.

fair strength early. This strength wag
maintained among British securities, con

for the day, Japanese bonds continued
strong. American securities, after an ad
justment to parity, gathered strength un
der professional and continental support.
They were helped later in the day by
steady New York buying. The low priced
Issues again were prominent, but the sup

CATTLE Receipts of caule were fairly
liberal for the middle of the week, 269 cars
being reported in, as against K cp.rs one
week ago and 211 curs two weeks ago. The
supply of good cattle was not overly large,
a considerable proportion of the receipts
being made up of cow stuff and odds and
ends of various kinds. The fact is strictly
good cattle are far from plentiful at ths
preent time at all markets of the country.
Hence the very satisfactory prices prevail
ing for all better grades.
The better .grades of beef steers were
In good demand and the tendency, if any
thing, was a little strong on that kind.
On the other hand, less desirable kinds
were a little weak. As a rule salesmen
were quoting It a steady market, with com
mon stuff dull and easier. The most of
the cattle sold in fair season, but it was
lute before other kinds were cleaned up.
Cows and heifers generally started out
about steady and the more attractive loads
sold In pretty fair season. There was,
however, no very great activity to the
trade and the market wound up pretty
slow and easier on the common kinds.
The better grades of feeders were in
good demand, the same as they have been
for a number of days back, and they com
manded fully steady prices. The common
and trashy kinds were as slow and hard
to sell n they have been of late, no one
apparently wanting that kind nd it was a
struggle on the part of salesmen to gel
rid of that kind of stuff.

Tom Flynn will le;id the gisud march at
the governor's inaugural ball. This Is to
be his reward for carrying Douglas cojnty
for the democratic party and then not ask
ing anything at the hands of the new chief
executive.
Tom Flynn Is a great dancer. At least
Tom Flynn used to be a great dancer when
he was young and foolish.. In those tays
he was wont to drive m.tes and miles t
attend a danc In some neighbor's barn or
In the kitchen of some farm house. He
always had the pick of the pretty girls. It
Is said, and It was a privilege to danca
with this beau brummel of the days of the,
frontier.
Years, however, have paesed tlnce Tom
Flynn has "tripped the light fantastic,"
but this will not deter Mm from leading
the grand march at the Inaugural.
Tom Flynn was never known to flinch
when duty calls and he will go forward to
his doom with a einll- on his face and a
prayer that he will not Humble or step on
some fair woman's fairer gown.
But to g't Into practice again he has
begun attending every dance that oppor
tunity presents. During tho campaign
backers of public balls found It an easy
matter to sell dance tickets to the pollti
cWns. nnd Tom Flynn laid In a grwdly sup
ply of these scraps of pasteboard. H. did
not use them then; he was too busy work
ing politics, but now that the strain of the
campaign Is over Tie is trading these an
tlcjuatod tickets for others of fresher vin
tage (dance managers allow redemption
In privileged cases! and he Is going to every
dance h" ran gain entrance to.
Yes. Tom Flynn. lie of street commis
sioner fame, will lead the grand march
and he will he In such prsctloo that lie
will be able to swing his partners as easily
and as adeptlv as he does the broom or
as he Is supposed to swing the broom on
the streets of the city of Omaha.

Walter Scott, or as he is better known
as "Scotty of Death Valley," was In Omaha
Wednesday on his way from Wlnnemucca.

"I Just stopped over here for the day to
see a few old friends. Including Colonel
Bill McCune," said Bcotty, "on my way to
New York, and will leave this afternoon.
Haven't a thing sensational to say or talk
about unless the work of my chug wagon

Scotty Is a man about 40 pears of age,
weighs about 200 pounds and Is dressed ss
an ordinary miner and seems to be a

hogs sol i largely at t5 7"a6 so, w ith a top
at t5.95. The market was rather dull
throughout the session, it belr.g well along
toward midday before anything like a
clearance was made.

Announcements of the Theaters.
Convulsions of laughter: That Is what
Frank Bryon, "The Dude Detctive," is
causing this week at the Orpheum. Thrill
ing the multitudes! That la what the
Davles Trio are doing In their great act,
"Motoring In Mid-Air." Six other fins acta
at this home of vaudeville. Some singing,
some dancing, some stories, some acro
batics well, Just a fine bill of advanced
vaudeville. Interesting klnotlroma views,
too. Dally matinees.
"A Knight for a Day," which opens at
the Boyd theater this evening, tells a story
nf the lost heirs to a Coralcan estate. Ths
helis may be identified by a peculiar medal
of which each has hslf. It Is supposed, also,
that It Is necessary for them to marry. The
search for the holders of the pieces of the
medal starts at the first of the piece. Into
the action comes the complication that a
waiter has appropriated the coat and
papers of an attorney In the esse, and
palming himself off as the real lawyer,
makes n mess of the whole affair, Bobby
Burn' plays the waiter, snd is a whole
host In himself. But he Is- pot the whole
show; F.ls'.e Herbert is Just as funny In
her way. and ths Ten-Rngllsti Dancing
Madcaps, the American beauty chorus and
other features all deserve attention. The
engagement lasts until Saturday nlgbt,
with a matinee on Saturday.
A 1 ip-roartng and startling melodrama
will be the attraction at the Krug for three
days starting tonight, when Johnnie Hoey
will present the newest play by Charles E.
