Xaken and Commerce High floor fives went the honors on the initial night of the Commercial league's basket ball sea son which was marked by three well-played ind closely contested games, played on the Young Men's Christian association floor last night. The second game of the evening, in which the Nakens humbled the Central Furniture was the most spectacular. While only a few min utes to play remained, the score was still knotted. Mahoney, right forward on the bookkeeper's quintet, won individ ual honors for chalking up counters.' Seven field goals were made by this one player which equaled the unit ed efforts of his opponents. Due to the absence of two tof the Sixty-second balloon .company flip pers the soldiers were compelled to forfeit their match. Two members of the Fort Omaha team were called upon to fill the holes and an exhi bition game was staged. Joseph, manager for the ballonists, was the mainstay of the losers. The Naken-Central Furniture en counter furnished 30 minutes of con tinuous thrills. Klepser, Everson and Russum did the heavy work for the Beddoes, but went down to defeat, due largely to ihe work of Hughes playing right forward for the Fort Omaha quintet The game was the first on the league's card.

Fur thermore, notwithstanding aome Increase of consignment notices, the opinion gain ed ground that a majority of producers were dissatiafled with current values, and that the expected broadening of the crop movement this month would "not take place without more of an incentive in cash. Soma of the biggest shorts In the market were reported to have covered on the bulge which ensued. Oata followed corn, and turned strong after a small break early. Provisions averaged higher with grain. Lard, though, displayed relative weak ness owing to an Increase of the stock on hand here.

Under the guidance of oils and rails, the latter mainly of the low priced or speculative class, today's stock market rose to materially higher levels on a fairly large volume of trading. Sharing very actively in the general advance were numerous specialties. Includ ing food stocks, tobaccos, sugars, dis tilling issuea and utilities, the latter In cluding local tractions, which scored ma terial rallies from recent low records. The only striking exceptions to tne sweeping upward movement were some of the motor group and their accessories, even the metal division atrengthenlng toward the end despite the precarious state of that Industry. United Statea Steel and kindred Issues, particularly Bethlehem and Crucible Steels, forged ahead, regardless of trade reviews which stressed present uncertain conditions and prices. Outstanding features of the session were Mexican Petroleum, Tidewater Oil, Texaa Company, Royal Dutch and Pan American Petroleum common and pre ferred, at extreme gains of 3 to 8 points; Beet Sugar, United Cigars, Corn Products, Baldwin Locomotive and New Tork Air brake at gains of 2 to 5 points and half a score of Investment rails at more moder ate Improvement. Much of the day's buying was clearly of professional origin, but no Inconsider able proportion was credited to substan tial interests, especially In the transporta tion class. In the main, bonds were firm, with espe cial strength In foreign Issues, notably Anglo-French 5s and Paris 6s. Total sales, par value, aggregated $12,500,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. Sales. High. Low. Clos. Am. Bet Sugar. . .10.600 68 62 68 American Can 7,100 484 48 48 Ar. Car and Found. 93 Am. Locomotive.. 2,700 63 61 62 Am. Smelt.

Bradstreets Trade Review. New York, Jan. 3. Bradstreets tomor row will say: At the outset of the new year, follow ing 20 months of record accomplish ments, buying hesitates; skeptlcaism as to the holding power of prices prevails, es pecially In the Iron and ateel Industry, and inventorying still occupies attention, but withal advices as to potential demand for goods in general, at a price, of course, are rather liberally tinctured with op timism. In the larger lines, stocks are light, shipments on old sales together with thoee going forward to eke out broken lines are quite large, but In a broad sense, slack-water conditions pre vail. Incidentaly the government con tinues to readjust contractual obligations, while assuring traders that unwanted sup. plies will not be thrown on the markets, and that foreign fields are likely to be sufficiently needy to absorb quantities of such commodities as the government holds, yet the mere existence of these goods represses buying, begets uncertainty as to future price trends and fosters hope among waiters for bargains.
