New Indictments
Are Returned in
J' Building Probe
Three Bills Charging Extor
J tion Found by Grand Jury;
Wrought Iron Industry 'Is
Drawn Into Inquiry,'
New York, Nov. 24. New York's
warfare against the alleged budding
trust brought forth three new in
dictments charging extortion; as
well as testimony linking the
wrought iron and wrought steel in
dustry to the long list of other pro
ducers of construction materials
which ire alleged unlawfully to hold
prices uniform throughout the coun
try. While the allied forces of an ex
traordinary grand jury and the joint
legislative committee made this
progress in their major offensives,
legal skirmishes, occurred in two
courts and the city's independent in
quiry into its millions of dollars in
contracts was postponed until Mpn-
day. . ;
Twice during the day the joint
committee was diverted from its
investigation to defend itself" aga.nst
- onslaughts in the courts. The -com-1
' mittee was victorious in both oc
casions. ! ;
. Prosecution Wins Victories.,
Decisive defeat marked the ef
forts of the builders' material bureau
fur both the supreme and appelate
courts to restrain the committee
i from getting hold of its Uooks-and
&?milexa,n'nins; ts stenographer,
Elizabeth O'Dea. Two injunctions

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chicago Tribune-Omahn Bos Leaned Wire.
;New York," Nov, 24. An irregular
decline in. the stock market, with
much less active trading, a money
market little changed in the actual
rates but tending toward easier con
ditions, further reaction in' foreign
exchange, a' new low price for the
year in the silver market and a de
cline in wheat which fully canceled
Tuesday's 8 cent advance these
were the more or less confused inci
dents in the financial situation to
day. The. day's ' movement on the
stock exchange was mostly a repe
tition of the day before. A number
of stocks advanced at the opening;
this was followed by the familiar
selling pressure, which converged,
especially on two or three of the
specials, after which the market be
came very irregular, with net de
clines the rule for. the day.
The decline of 2 cents in sterling
was accompanied by weakness in
practically all other European ex
changes, including the rates on Hol
land, Spain, Scandinavia, and cen
tral Europe.
"i 1 Situation Confusing-. i
. Ths movement of exchange Is affected
12 41 to so great an extent by pur speculation.
20that:4t Is difficult to separate ths real
mxiuences jrom - mm unreal, whw
ment was mads In wall street on tne
fact tlM the very .considerable sums
nf rnM arrivins- from London and not
Obtained at the weekly competitive sales
of Transvaal caeuugnineuis, snoum mu
to be reflected in the sterling rate. If,
however, thiff gold is sent for account
of the British government, it would pre
sumably be a special transaction uncon
nected with . the exchange market and
arranged, like th shipments of Beptember,
with a view to that government's own
operations In th New Tork money mar
ket, i...
Whn today s cotton market held iirm,
reaching at one time a price more than
1 cent a pound above Tuesday's lowest,
the wheat market broke' nearly 10 cents,
recovering only fractionally. Such wild
upward ana downward fluctuations in a
staple commodity without the slightest
chang In the actual facts of Its mar
ket from one day to another, simply
Illustrates the extent to which ideas re
garding intrinsic values for anything have
been thrown into oanluston. :
Figures Not Fulfilled
The midweek reviews of the Iron and
steel trade point to a perplexing situation.
Although, as stated ay the iron Age, sne
independent steel . companies ,are operat
ing only at 60 to 70 per cent of capacity,
with even the export trad "about one
third the volume of a few months ago,"
prices of finished material are not ref lecti
lng the situation. In some Important steel
products, even th expected reduction of
the higher prices at independent mills to
the Steel corporation' figures have not
been fulfilled.
The Iron Are explains that "there Is
more profit In shipping en old contracts
than in taking new business at cut prices."
But this could scarcely be a long: contin
uing argument. '
Meantime the steet trade seems 40 have
been completely paxzled at Chairman
Gary's statement disavowing any purpose
tf aHvanpfn. thai fltte.l i.nriuir.Hnn'1 nrices
under existing conditions. Sine no body
had imagined an advance in tne general
run of steel products. It had been some
what widely assumed that Site statement
indicated abandonment of the long report
ed plan of raising the price of rails in
December above th present $47 per ton.
But the steel trade seem reluctant so
to Interpret It.
New York Cotton.
New Tork- Nov. 24. The cotton mar
ket opened stesdy at an advance of t
points on October and at a decline of
I to 22 points on other months. Decern.'
ber showed the most weakness on th
call because of notices on about 600 bales.
Pressure Increased after the start and
prices fell about 25 points tinder last
night's close. The cables were popr.
The early balge met some southern sell-,
ings and realizing, prices declining SB 60
points. The market was firmer during
the afternoon on covering and trade buy
ing. Stop orders were unco-vered on the
advance, which carried prices up 26 to 70
points. '

Chicago Tribune-Omaha; Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Nov, 24,-iActjon of the
grain markets today was the reverse
of Tuesday's, opening'prices being
the highest, but 'M'ereinot up to the
close of the previous day, and the
finish was well Upward therbottom.
The traders ; are; erj- rrluch mixed
in their ideas, arid- while many be
lieve that the worst of" the liquida
tion is) over, there is little disposi
tion to buy heavily for investment,
and holders ace indisposed to stand
any; punishment when the market
turns against them. i
, The absence of outside buying was
strikingly- noticeable, while the sell
ing, especially in wheat, was most
conspicuously and ' effectively de
pressing. At the close wheat showed
losses of 8tf8Kc, corn 2Ji2Kc..
oats Hlic, rye 4j4c and barley un
changed to 3c lower, while pork
closed unchanged, lard S2'3c higher
for November, and 7c lower' to 10c
higher on the deferred futures. Ribs
were 15c lower. ,
New Bearish.
The news was mostly bearish, Including ;
easier stock and cotton markets,1 a' sensa
tional break in English country markets,
a decline In foreign exchange, continued
bank trouble tn North Dakota, and weak
ness In Argentine markets. The combina
tion was sufficient to check new buying
A feature of the day' trading was the
activity of holders of bids, particularly
In corn, who traded against them almost
from the start. . . ' .
Export demand for cash wheat has been
of immense proportions the past two days,
estimated at around 3,000,000 to 8,000,000
bushels. .
There was 25,000 bushels hard winter
wheat sold at Chicago for export. South
western purchases were liberah with farm
ers securing $1.2601.35 In western Kansas.
Primary receipts exceeded those of last
week and a year ago, but wer nearly
300,000 bushels less than th exports of
wheat and flour.
, Corn Market Nrvous.
Corn was sold heaTlly at the start and
the lowest "prices of the day war made
within a short time. It was a nervous
market with commission houses good buy
ers on the break. . Buying against bids

Export bnslness In ryo T reported
to be of large proportions but no totals

Barley sold readily when choice, but

Many New Ideas in
Toys Are Shown at
Union Outfitting Co.
Mammoth Toyland
Location Out of High Rent
District Brings 25 to
50 Saving on Toys. '
Shrill screams of delight from
little folks, ;mingled with excla
mations of wonder from the
grown-ups, are to be heard as
oae strolls through the aisles of
the mammoth Toyland at the
Union Outfitting Company.
It is a wonderful showing of
toys. A display that proves our
own American toy makers have
come . into their own. Sturdy,
well made dolls and toys are the
rule, rather than the short-lived
toys one remembers in years
gone by.
Jolly old Saint Nicholas, him
self, is on hand to learn what the
little folks want and to suggest
to mammas and papas that they
buy . while selections are good.
As usual, toys can be charged. ..
