I.ate la Day,
NCTV YORK, Dec. 14.-Specuratlve opera-
-f!. L" . ,a,'k8 restrained by the
outlook In tha money market, but In the
absence of actual withdrawal of credits
there was no active pressurs to sell. There'
Weir". nu,?ber of Jeveiopments which
helped to advance prices. The report of
subtressury operations revealed the prin
cipal factor of depletion of bank reserves,
the, loss of the banks to the government
for the new banking week being $16,337,000.
These changes are due to the payments
for subscriptions to the Panama canal
bonds, which sre expected to run through
i? JPJf w,pt- This sum added to
the 83.9O0.OO0 gold shipped to Paris on Sat
urday, which has not yet figured In the
Dank, statement, stands opposed to a sur
F,i'J?erv?.0, the hanks .on Saturday of
$16,R9.6ai. It Is manifest, therefore, that
further resources for speculative opera
tions are dependent on a shifting of loan
accounts.
Call money went to ' per cent, enm
Rred J"1 8 per cent. Hit week'. hlghot.
The Brasilian coffee lo..n .issued In Lon
don today, will be offered to New York
participants to the extent of $10.ono.OOO dur
ing the week. The sale of $5,000,000 bonds
by a Pennsylvsnia subsidiary company
was announced during the- da v. The pos
sibility of a check to the gold outgo was
a factor In the strength shown by the
stock market. Much Importance was at
tached also to the filing of freight rate
changes with the Interstate Commerce
commission by the trunk lines. The Cen
tral Freight association and the trans
continental association thus embracing alt
the principal railways of the country. The
astounding yield of the country's agri
cultural products summarised in the an
nual report of the secretary of agriculture
made for cheerful views of property hold
One of the day's Incidents that had a
sentimental effect on the speculation was
the rise In the price of Standard Oil in
the curb market to above 700 for the first
time In over three years. This movement
was believed to be; connected with tho
maturing plan for reorganlxlng the capital
Issues of the compsny In a manner to
bring the shares more nearly Into line
with the securities active In the daily
operations of the market. The supreme
court decision exempting E. H. Harrlman
from the obligations to answer queries
of the Interstate Commerce commission
was regarded as a step towards restric
tion, of the . power of the commission.
American Smelting was the weak feature
and was sold down to successively lower
stages from the general distrust of the
price level, compared with earning powr
and dividend prospects. This, coupled with
the flurry to 3 per cent In call money,
caused the late break in prices. A number
of Important net declines was the result.

struggle In many cases to get them to go
and look at the. stuff. The forenoon was
very well advanced before any business
of any consequence was transacted and It
was later than usual before anything like
a clearance was effected.
Common- eows and canners. or anvthlnar
on the thin and undesirable order, were
especially hard to sell, buyers talking that
that kind has been way too high at this
point and that they were entitled to a
great big concession In prices. As a result
they did not try very hard to buy them
and the market on that kind was safely
10(6'30c lower.
lhere were a good many feeders included
in the day's run,- but there was a good
speculative demand conseauent unon th
expectation that there would be free buy-
mn vii vim pnrt or. cuumry visitors to tne
Corn exposition. Hence the desirable
kinds of feeders at least sold at about
steady prices, but the common and inferior
stuff was rather dull and hard to move,
the same as has been the case all tho win

Were very light, there nut belnv xiioinrri in
sight to. reaily make a market. It was in
fact, the llgntest run ever for a Monday
experienced at this point in some time.
With so few hogs in sight buyers picked
up the offerings early In the mornlnar mv.
lug prices that were generally 6c hirher than
Saturday, and that, tuo. In the face of ad
vices from other market points that were
none too encouraging. The hoas sold
largely at $5.3oti6.46 and on up to a top of
$6.60. It will be remembered that on Satur
day the hogs sold very largely at $o.2i4.4S.
with a top at $5.55.

PETTY THIEVES PROVE PEST
Decided Activity oa Part of Light
Fingered Men Canses Police to
Sit l'l and Take Notice.
Activity among the light-fingered gentry,
who have been operating most promiscu
ously in Omaha the last two or three days,
is causlrg the police force to redouble Its
vigilance. Money end other small articles
of value seem most to attract the burglars,
although the theft of four bolts of colored
satin, amounting to about 200 yards, from
a large department store Monday morning
shows that the thieves are not adhering
strictly to a search for money.
A pair of trousers with $2 In a pocket,
was all a midnight visitor to the homo
.of If. A. Anderson, 2114 South Thirty
fourth street, obtained., while a, window
raiser secured $12.60 by Just thrusting his
arm through a window at the horne of
Jim Armsby, 2927 Dupont street, and grab
bing a purse that lay nearby.
The least successful of all thieving ef
forts Sunday night was at tha house occu
pied by George Kessner at . 2956 Marth;
street. Only 40 cents was taken, the burglar
getting Into the place by raising a window.
Articles to the amount of about $12 with
stolen from William McKenna. 1130 North
Eighteenth street, Saturday night. A re
volver, some women's clothes and a Knlg, ta
of Pythias charm were among the goods,
taken. Five cravenette coats valued at $
were stolen from the store of a : retail
dealer on Farnam street Friday night by
some one who broke' a rear window ot
the storeroom.
No Crlmlaal Caaea la Lyman.
MITCHELL, S. D.. Dec. V4. (Special.)
For tha first time In the history of Lyman
county there is not a criminal case to be
tried In the clrcult: court term. This In
dicates that the new settlement that has
gone Into that county has had a good ef
fect. The only case that was to be' tried,
the defendant pleaded guilty, and the other
case against W. F. Phillips was dismissed.
The latter Is an echo of the cattle rustling
cases and has been before the court for
several years. It was but a matter of
some six or eight years ago ' that th
calendar was filled with criminal cases,
most all of them of ths cattle rustling
variety, but these have been done awny
with through the administration of Judge
Frank B. Smith, and the recent officer
of his court. Judge Smith did not meet
with much encouragement when lie started
out on his campaign to clean up the cattlo
rustling of Lyman county, and times with
out number were the warnings he received
to desist from his course. Friends of the
cattle rustlers. It Is said, would get Into
conversation with Judge Smith and com
mence to talk of the shooting sbllity of
the rustlers and what was In store for
those who became too active In their ef
forts to stop the rustling. Judge 8aith
paid no attention to the threats end went
ahead and was not In the least . discon
certed. The result Is shown in the almost
clean bill of health at the circuit court
term that Is now drawing to a close.
