CHICAGO. Dec, 2. Reports of unfavor

The principal factor responsible for the
aiiung opeiiing in wneai was a aispaicn
telling of frost In tha southern portion of
uuoiiuH Ayrea Province, where, tue crop Is
now wunin aoouc two weeaa ot maturity.
A later decline waa precipitated by the
selling of December by a prominent casn

NEW YORK, Deo. i-In the stork mar
ket proper Rock Island fell Into the back
ground today after Its highly sensational
performance of yesterday. Those perform
ances left an impression on the minds of
traders that security capable of such eo
centrlo and inexplicable action migTit carry
with it hasards in the handling which dis
couraged attempts to experiment with it,
As to the episode Itself, not much fear
waa felt of direct conseuuences for harm
from It. The supposition continued to gain
iorce mat reckless and blundering mlsap
plication of manipulative methods were at
the bottom of th InoidenL On this suppo
sition it would follow that the buying of
the stock ud to ill Dame, not from fright
ened shorts, but from tha speculative party
wnicn naa managed tne advance, i he mat
ter having taken on the proportions of a
scandal and the stock exchange commit
tee appointed to investigate being engaged
during the day on the work, the subject
waa kept conapicuous. it waa remein
bered that the Hughes eommisslon had
secured assurances from the stock ex
change authorities of their confidence In
their ability to control and prevent flag
rant manipulation such aa led up to the
A. O. Hrown & Co. failure In iM and to
the appointment of the state commission
It waa the character of these assurance
that Influenced the commission to recom
mend against attempts to regulate the
abuse by legislation.
From Washington came a report that
the federal atuhorltlea were showing re
newed interest In the question of possible
regulation of speculative dealings In fu
tures. This was accompanied by Intima
tions of an early submission to congress of
the special messages of the president deal
ing with propoaed measures for the regu
lation of corporations. These considera
tions and th continued preparation for
tha annual money settlements kept the
stock market operations under restraint.
Thla, while keeping dealings small, did not
depress prices.
Individual stocks advanced briskly from
particular causea nut always specified. The
coppers were strong and were Influenced
by a rise in the London price of the metal.
The quick sale of the Delaware ft Hudson
refunding bonds made a good Impression
on the investment situation, although the
general bond market continued dull and
unresponsive.
The failure to aettle the switchmen a
trlk on northwestern railroads waa dis
cussed without causing any signs of apprehension-
In the stock market. The grain
markets, however were affected by feara
of delay In deliveries.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $S,77.00tt. I'nlted States bonda were
unchanged on call.

SHEEP-Yesterdays sharp advance in
live mutton prices inft pretty strong Ideas
of valuation in selling circles and sales
men as a rule were inclined to ssk tome
ahal, higher prices this morning, as a re
lull. Packers were nut disponed to further
elevate the price fist. hover, and open
ing trade a as rather quiet. With the
yarding of tha original estimate, some
4.SO0 h.ad. the talent settled on a trading
basis and bulk ot receipts changed hands
In very good season. Most sales wire Just
about steady with yesterday with the
trend of valuea .possibly a shade stronger
On some of the better classes of sheep
There waa a greater number of com
mon lambs in today's run and the tend
ency of prices on stock of this description,

lig verv toppy was included in offenns,

hands at $o.l0 and yearlings realised $i.:0.
A few strings of short-fed stuff and
rangers were suld for feeding purposes,
but thai volume of business in ILe feed r
branch of the trade was hardly large
enough to afford a broad Idea of the act
ual situation. The demand for anything
suitable for finishing has been active
lately at good, firm figures and tt la safe
to call today's market fully ateady with
last week's close.

The proportion of beef steers among tne
receipts waa not so large aa yesterday, but
still there was a fair showing. Buyers all
seemed .to want a few . good Killers arid as s.
rule, were out in tne yarns in lair leamn
cleaning up, the early arrivals some little
time before midday. The prices paid war
steady to strong gs compared with yesterday.
cows ana. heifers were, also in very gooa
demand, and they too, sold quite freely
at steady to strung price. Tho early ar-
rivala sold in good season ano tne inaraei

(cattle trade was the poor demand for
feeders and stockers. : but that wag to be
expected wider existing conditlona. The
trade In conaequence was alow and dull,
with the tendency of prices lower.

weight loads did not sell quite so readily
and it took tnoia work to get buyers to
raise prices on that kind. Siill the hogs

the early receipts were cleaned up in fair
