siderably lighter than a week ago and In

prices that were, anyway 15ffj'25e lower
than Saturday's early morning trade. Best
prlco paid was $16.20, whllo the hulk moved
at $16. 00 iff 16,10. A fairly good clearance
was made around $10.30. Buyers weie
picking out the heavier grades, lightweights
being hard sellers. A few loads of left

Sheep A liberal run of sheep and lambs
was here this morning. Trade opened
fairly active on killer offerings, with prices
generally steady to stronger than Friday's
elose. A good bunch of medium lamhs
brought $16.20, and in-between stuff
brought around $15. 50(ff 16.00. Supply of
fat ewes was rather limited, medium killers
bringing up to $1 1,000. Demand was good.
More urtlvity than featured last week's
feeder market eharactt. lzed the opening
trade. Outside demand was considerably
stronger than for some time, although
prices were mostly steady. Mixed breeding
and feeding ewes brought $11.60. In-between
feeding lambs sold for $1 5 75.

Coffee Market.
New York, Dec. 17. There was renewal
of English buying In the market for coffee
futures here today. The demand was not
active, hut it was supposed to reflect a
r-'latively cheap market here compnred with
Hrail and possibly an increased use of cof
fee in England, owing to a scarcity of tea.
These features combined with the continued
steadiness of the cost and freight situation
seemed to hold sellers In check and after
opening unchanged to 6 points higher the
market made a generally steady showing.
May sold at 7.38c and September at 7.78c,
closing at a new advance of 2 to I points on
the general list. December, 7.05c: January,

4.KAIX AM PROVISIONS.
Mild
Weather and larger ('onHlgnmentH
Ilnvft llenrlsh K.ffert on Corn,
Chicago. Ills., Dec, 17 Mild weather sc.
companied by rural notices of larger con
signments had a bearish effect today on
corn. The t lose was unsettled hut to K
net lower will) January 1 1 . 20 to $1 21
and May 111 lk7i- oats also lost to .
Provisions scored an advaiu e of 25e to 70e.
Growing likelihood that the near future
w-ould witness a substantial accumulation
of stocl.s dominated the corn market
throughout thu day. Arrivals over Sunday
were liberal, and complalutH of car scarcity
had noticeably diminished. Besides. the
oaullly of receipts shewed steady Improve
ment, ihe embargo on shipments eastward
from Chicago remained uumodifii d, and the
visible supply total went up to a fair ex
tent. L'nder such circumstances declines
set in from the outset, no Important rally
took place and what demand there was
camn almost entirely from local indus
tries. Oats, like corn, eased down as a result
chiefly of betler operating conditions f..r
the railroads. Shutting off of export In
quiry, however, had an evident further de
pressing Influence. Leading commission
houses were conspicuous on Ihe selling side.
Higher quotations on hogs gave strength
to provisions. The fact, though, that ex
ports for the week were much smnller than
last year tended somewhat to i heck the
upward course of the market.

---that is, the gallant "sojer" boys, or
at least, some of them who is the
"political pirate." While the lieutenant
governor is "shuddering," the boys of
the regiment are doing something
worse, and one young recruit who has
a nose for "statistics" has been look
ing up ihe legal status of the "Un

he (iiants and White Sox made
handsome profits. Cleveland had only
one' better season than last; its ban
ner year was I'MO. The Phillies and
Detroit again bad most profitable
seasons, the Tigers breaking their at
tendance reeoid on the lust day ol
the season.
lioth the St. Louis Cardinals and
Cincinnati U'eds had thcr best
seasons tinaneially in a long time. De
spite reports to the contrary, the
Yankees did not lose money, but
were able to show a small profit. The
Ked Sox made a little money, and
though Connie Mack again finished
behind, lie had his best season since
dismantling his old team. Washington
was supposed to have lost heavily,
but (int'tiih said tliacltib broke even.
The team which lost the heavies:
on the ear were the four second di
vision clubs in the National league
the Cubs, Braves. Dodgers and Pi
rates and the St. Louis lirown in the

The coming big league meeting will
see a si riotis discussion among base
ball men regarding the war tax. 1
is generally believed that this will be
paid by the clubs and not added tc
the price of the tickets.
