NEW YORK". Dec. M. The eouanlmltv
of the stock market was upnet today by
two occurrences which Wall street In
terpreted aa bearish, tine waa the on-
exectedly poor November reporta of the
flarrlman road a, the other atatements
from Washington that a bill lowering the
tarirf on steel would soon be placed be
fore the lower branch of congress as the
first step In tariff legislation during the
present session.
The stork market waa dull at price
near yeaterdava close until the middle
of the afternoon, whon these two In
fluence were brought to bear. During the
remainder of the session trading was ac
tive and quotatlona fell away steadily.
i nion iMelflo. with a drop of 2. was
the heaviest loser among the more prom
inent stock. Fnlted rltates rUeel was
sold in large amounts and sank more
than a point to W'ic. Reading. New York
Central, Ht. Paul. Northern Pacific,
nouinern rarmc. Baltimore & Ohio,
loulavllle & Nashville, American Smelt
ing anil Amalgamated, Copper lost a
point or more.
The pressure against Union Pacific
during the last few days was said to b
due to selling In anticipation of a poor
November howlng, but the street was
not prepared for a falling off of txSx.OOO In
gross earnings and of 11.100,000 In tha
net. Southern Pacific' shrinkage of 1716,
)0 In net earnings waa due largely to a
l40.floo Increase In expense, the los In
gross return having been t241,oi!0. These
report following tha unfavorable fig
ures submitted yesterday by Rock Islsnd
seemed to hear out advices previously
received that earning of the weetern
roads had been cut Into aeverely lust
month. Tha harsh weather conditions In
territory served by the Union Pacific
was largely responsible for the sharp re
duction In gross receipts. The strike of
shopmen on the Narrlman line Is said
to have been another Important factor In
the result.
The rwport from Waahlngton that the
sled schedule was to be taken up first
was the signal for ahort selling of United
Mate friteel, but that stock declined no
more than several other prominent lue.
Tho money market remained dull.

CATTLE Cattle receipts wer very
liberal for a Thursday, 163 car being
reported in. Today recelpta make the
total for th -week todate 16.690 head, a
gain of 6.0ml head as compared with the
came day last year.
Fortunately the local demand for beef
steers was very fair thla morning and
anything at all desirable commanded
steady prlcea as compared with yeaterday.
On the other hand cattle that were espe
cially pleasing In buyer' eye sold to a
little ootter advantage even than ye
tsrday, or around loo higher than Tue
day, .Cattle, which did not appeal espe
cially to tn Duyera were slow and Moid
era of such cattle could not see any lm
provement in the market.
There wa no material change. In the
market for cows and heifers, prices con
tinning about steady with yesterday.
Which means that the market is a triti
better than It was on Tuesday
There were very few stock cattle or
feeders In sight, but the feeling was that
anything desirable would command good
in in privea.

this city oh hi way from Olustee. Ok!.,
his home, to Fort Riley, -where he will
lnveatlgat the conditions leading up to

government officials.
"My sole mission In life," ha said, "is
to clear my name of thla awful charge
made against me. It was absolutely un
warranted, aa tb federal authorities
found out after they had Investigated it.
But that does not satisfy me. I want to
know who was responsible for mixing my
nam In tha dynamite plot."
Th Rev. Brewer arrest followed a
confession by Private Quick, in which h
stated that he had met tho pastor, for
mrly chaplain at th fort, riding in an
automobile with a woman, and that
they had asked him to loin them In blow
ing up. tha big bridge over the Kansas
river.
"There wa aome personal malic In
connecting my name with the plot," tha
pastor continued. "When the bridge was
blown up I was preaching a aermon in
Quanah, Tex. I do not know Quirk by
name. I do not know whether I ever saw
him or not. I might remamber his face.
If I saw him for I was acquainted with
marry of the enlisted men. I am o-otnar Irk
Fort Rly to sift thla matter to tha

Secretary MacVeagh
Defends President
Taft'sTariff Work
WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. Kerretsrv r.f
the Treasury MacVeagh. presiding over
today's Session of the American Economm
association, defended President Taffa
tariff policy and endorsed the work ancl
report of the tariff board.
Prof. Henry C. Emery, chairman of U14
tariff board, declared that at the outset
he opposed the theory that an equitable
tariff could be adjusted by a discovery
of the cost of production, and doubted
tha ability of a commission to get such,
information, but he told of the help which
manufacturers and producers had given
th board. He aald he believed the re
port of the board on the wool schedule;
and Its conclusions formed a correct
basis for new tariff rates.
Prof. Ji. Parker Willis of Georg Wash
Ington university scoffed at th "cost of
production" basis for tariff adjustment.
Prof. E. V. Robinson of the University
of Minnesota said a protect I v tariff
would be levied In th United States for
years to come. H asserted that tha
democratic party proposed a reduction of
rates, but not an abandonment of tha
protective theory.
President Taft was the principal speaker
at a luncheon of the association.
