FIRMER TONE IN GRAINS

LACK OF 3IOVE.MKT AM) I) AULIGK It Y COLD UCLPS WHEAT.

Corn nml Oats Follovr the Lender In a Small War-1'rovUIons Sliov 3Iolernte Advance.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20. Firmness of foreign markets, dropping oft in domestic receipts, scarcity of red winter wheat and the general effect of the extreme cold weather made grain traders forget all about the holiday depression to-day and May wheat closed Tsc higher, corn Mc up and oats higher. Provisions closed unchanged to 12!213c higher. Conditions in wheat were bullish all around at the opening. Trade was inclined to continue In its dull rut, but with such arguments for better prices traders who did not wish to get into deals had to bid up for everything they bought. Cables were firm. London reported no cargoes arriving or waiting off the coast and local houses with cable connections claimed better acceptances by the continent. Receipts were exasperatingly small and the cold weather promised still smaller for to-morrow. In the West and Southwest several drops In temperature were recorded, in some places snow was falling and in others the thermometer registered below zero, with no protection by snow. Commlslon houses began to buy on these factors and prices steadily advanced. May opened U'äc up, at 73t?73c, and closed strong, "c up, at SOic. Local receipts were thirty-seven cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 35G cars, a total of C03 cars, against S14 last week and 511 last year. Argentina shipments for the week were ieo.000 bu, against 202,000 bu last week. Primary receipts were 648,0 bu, compared with Cö2,03 bu a year ago. Seaboard clearances were 617,000 bu. Corn had a narrow and nervous market, with a small trade. Light receipts and the whtat firmness lent a better character to this market, but on the whole business was insignificant and followed the rut of the last few days. The scarcity of offerings both here and at Kansas City, however, kept traders awake to opportunities and hovering about the pit to get in on any decided action. May opened well up on better cables and advanced by narrow margins to a Arm close, 2c up, at CCTsC. Receipts were 102 cars. Oats followed afUr corn and wheat. The trade was small but the strength in the other pits offset the slowness of the cash situation and brought slightly better prices. May was firm at the opening and closed with a good tone, HttUc up. at 4i!l4ic. Receipts were eighty-nine cars. Provisions were firm, considering the weakness of the hog market. Early prices were off, but a splurge came toward the close, in sympathy with grains. May pork closed 12Vzinc up, at 416.72H: lard unchanged, at $3.7212, and ribs G'Hc higher, at Jjs.ST1. Estimated receipts for to-morrow "Wheat, 10 cars; corn. 105; oat., 60; hogs, 21,(00 head. Leading futures ranged as follows:

Local prices for copper are nominally unchanged, but the market has no snap. The chief disturbant element came from London, owing to the heavy declines there in prices for both tin and copper. The Glasgow pig Iron market was decidedly lower. Theso declines and the resultant demoralization came about through the failure of William Sargent & Co., the firm being1 long- 2,000 tons of copper and also long of tin. The closing prices of tin In London were 5 5s lower than they closed yesterday. Thi3 closed spot at AilOl 5s and futures at lu0 103. The New York market could not stand up under the depression and demoralization abroad, and prices broke lc to 14c a pound, closing at 22.50c bid and 23c asked, but weak and unsettled. Copper was nominally unchanged here at 13c for lake, 124c for electrotype and 124c for casting. At London there was a nervous and lower market, although toward the close prices rallied a little, but the net loss was 17s 6d for spot and 10s for futures, closing respectively at 43 12s 6d and 49. Lead was quiet but unchanged here at 4c. London lead closed at 103 9s, a decline of Is 3d. Spelter closed weak here, but unchanged, at 4.45c, and London closed unchanged at 17. Pig Iron warrants were 7s 31 lower at vllasgow. closing at 4Ss 9d, but Mlddlesboro was unchanged at 43s 6d.

"General, what was the most foolhardy thing you ever saw on the field of battle?" "I didn't see it on the field of battle," replied General Wheekr. "I saw it yesterday, when a young woman tried to enter a revolving storm door leading a do by a very long etrlng. She passed through in safety, but not so the dotr. The rushing public came along, and the dos was ground both ways and chopped up as though he were in a sausage machine. Each time he escaped his mistress tugged madly on the string and pulled him into it again. She got lim through at last, being a very determined girl. The jauitor of the building wrapped him up in a newspaper for her, so that she could carry him home. The way she clung to that string was the most foolhardy thing I ever saw." A Want Supplied. Chicago Evening Post. Rev. Kittredge Wheeler complained lo his congregation yesterday that his hymnbook contained no hymns on hell, no he would be compelled to select one on heaven. It will give us great pleasure to lend Mr. Wheeler a copy of "Village Hymns." in which h will rind some beautiful and stirring linos on his favorite topic. We commend to him as his first selection that peaceful lyric presenting the sinners wallowing in "lakes of liquid fire, while "Saints, undaunted, all serene. In calmness view th dreadful scene." Nothing of the delights of the happy after life ever impressed us so strongly as the pleasure of the elect at the matinee performance of the wallowing dinners.

MARKET EMERGES FROM THE GL003I CAUSED BY COPPER.

Ruylnfir Order Good nnd Trice RIe llaoynntly In Muny Cnaes Loan Contrnctlon Looked For.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. The stock market showed its immense relief to-day from the disturbing effect of the recent eccentricity of Amalgamated Copper. There were some further contortions in t.iat stock for a short time after the opening, but it settled down into a condition of quiet which has not been seen for many weeks. LJctwecn 0G and C7 it seemed to have arrived at a condition of stable equilibrium. The opening dip to 6I4S was apparently due to a drive from the bears, who sought an opportunity to cover their short contracts. The high level of the stock for the day was at G3, and the net gain was a point. The statement issued by the directors last night was accepted as a proclamation of a struggle for business with the independent companies, and such cuts In the price of the product as would be necessary. This, however, had been definitely foreshadowed by previous developments, and had been perverted and exaggerated by all sorts of rumors and manipulation. With authorized official information as a basis of operations the steadiness and quiet tone of the stock offered a remarkable contrast. The solution of part of the mystery which has hung over this stock let loose the forces of demand, which have lain dormant in the market for several days past. The buying was apparently based on the general consideration of the high degree of prosperity which is prevailing in all branches of trade. The special strength of the coalers, which led the advance, was due to the seasonable weather for the trade and the reports of a probable coming advance in the price of anthracite. The formation of the arbitration committee by the National Civic Federation was a factor in the strength of this group, as the president of the miners' organization has a prominent place on the committee, and the fear of an outbreak of labor trouble among the miners during the coming year has been a persistent influence in discouraging speculation in the stocks. The advances ran from about a point up to 24 in Delaware & Hudson and 3 in Hocking Valley. The strength of the Pacific and transcontinentals was apparently based on the favorable showing which It is expected the Union Pacific's annual report will make. Reports of adjustment of efforts making towards the end of rate disturbances in the West helped the railroad list generally. The bull campaign in the local traction stocks was renewed under the leadership of Manhattan. The sharp gains In a number of industrials were based on individual consideration. The express stocks were conspicuous as a group. Westinghouse Electric rose buoyantly lH. and at a reaction closed with a net gain of 9. Sugar was heavy on the signs of the renewal of the rate war in that trade. The rate for call loans stiffened late in the day to a per cent., but had very little effect on the stock market. Although the banks have apparently lost nearly J2,000,0o0 in cash during the week, sentiment is, for the moment, optimistic over the money outlook. To-morrow's bank statement, it Is hoped, will reveal a large loan contraction. Bonds were moderately active and irregular. Total sales at par value were S2,2:h),0O0. The United States threes, registered, and the old and new fours advanced Ys, and the threes, coupon, declined U per cent, on the last call.

Heavy Tradlns: In Copper, with. Buyins in Good Volume. Meyer & Riser's Telegram. NEW YORK, Dec. 20. The announcement of the dividend of 1 per cent, on Amalgamated Copper resulted in very heavy trading during the first hour In that stock, the buying being considered a good deal better than the selling. It was curious, however, considering the enormous volume of buying orders, that the stock did not enjoy a greater advance. The selling seemed to be in small lots to a great number of brokers, and created the impression that liquidation was in progress from some Important source, tho Identity of which it was impossible to discover. During the afternoon the stock became decidedly dull and interrst in it steadily declined. During the earlier part of the session the market was overshadowed by the activity in Copper, but later on considerable manipulation appeared in the general market, which apparently had for it3 object the advancement of prices. St. Taul had a sharp advance on rumors that fresh rights were to be offered to the stockholders. There was good buying of Union Pacific, which forced considerable covering of shorts. On the otl;er hand. Sugar was decidedly heavy, owing to the indications that a sugar war was in progress. In spite of the clever manipulation which advanced prices there was very little, if any, decrease in commission business. Brokers are not encouraging their customers to trade, owing to fears that considerably higher rates for money will prevail between now and the end of the year. The money market opened around the same rates as yesterday, but towards the lunch hour as high as 8 per cent, was paid, and at no time was the supply of money very large. During the last hour some borrowers who had been holding over in the hope of securing lower rates became urgent In their demands, with the result that money quickly ran up to 10 per cent. Detter Mnrket Expected. Grander Farwell & Co.'s Telegram. NEW YORK, Dec 20. After the first hour Amalgamated Copper wnt to the extreme rear and sat down. It cut no figure after that, and it Is probable the general market will cut loose from lt for a time, unless exceptional conditions should prevail in it. When rates went to 8 per cent, for the first time, a break in the market resulted, which was in good part recovered. The market is professional, but sentiment is for better prices, notwithstanding that fairly high money rates are expected between now and New Year's. The situation in Union Pacific seems to be that there is open selling on bulges by insiders, but as the market fairly holds its own it is surmised that orders are in the market on the other side at any decline from the same people. It is said that developments are forthcoming which will put Union Pacific up 10 points, but this is an open tip and is tho ordinary room talk. A fairly firm market is desired by insiders with enough advance to make it attractive. Altogether Too Cool. Detroit Free Press. "I had flattered myself for a long time that I would be a cool hand in the face of danger," said the drummer, "and when a fire alarm was sounded in a hotel one night I did not find myself a failure. I turned out of bed as quietly as you please, got Into my clothes without undue haste, and looked out into the hall with contempt for the guests who were falling over each other and fainting away. My grip was open, and I waited to replace everything and lock it, and then I walked out to the nearest fire-escape and dropped my grip to the ground. "The fire-escape was simply a rope fastened to a hook, and I was four stories up. The hall was dark with smoke, and I could hear men shouting and women screaming, but I pledge you my word that I wasn't a bit rattled as I loosed the coil of rope and backed out of the window. "I was a bit chilly, perhaps, as I found myself swinging fifty feet from the ground, but I got down without further damage than burning and tearing the skin off my palms. "I reached terra firma to feel myself a hero, but the feeling didn't last over ten minutes. Then the firemen got the best of the flames, and as I entered the hotel the night clerk said: " 'Ah! you here? I didn't see you come down.' " 'I got out by the hall window,' I replied. " You did? Why, man. the fire was way back over the kitchen, and there is a stairway within ten feet of that window! Why didn't you take a whole week in which to come down the regular way?' " Sure Tiling.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKETS

CATTLE "WITHOUT CIIAXGIL HUT S031C GRADES 1VEIIE STRONGER.

Hoes Dull, Irregular nnd Ten to Fifteen Cents Lower Sheep Strong Condition of Other 3Inrket.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 20. Cattle Receipts, it; shipments, 500. Thus far this week the marketing of cattle is about 1,300 smaller than the same time last week, and fully 2,OjO larger than the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were comparatively small for a Friday market, being only about half as large as a week ago, but nearly C0 larger than a year ago. There was more life in the market than has characterized the trade for two days, and on some grades more ratisfactory prices were realized than yesterday, but generally the conditions were not up to the expectations of salesmen. A larger number of buyers were In the field, but evidently believed the supply would be large enough to meet all of their requirements, and competition was not strong enough to get a general advance in values. Tossibly because salesmen were holding their consignments higher the export steers were rather slow in changing hands, and final sales do not indicate any improvement In prices over yesterday. There was a steady demand for the good fleshy feeders at satisfactory prices, but common stockers sold no better. The thick fat cows commanded a little better figures than yesterday, but other females sold only at about steady prices. The geneial market is irregularly lower than at this time last week, with the change possibly less on the thick fat cows and cannera than any other class. There was a very limited demand for steers from local buyer.s but a better outside request held prices in about the same position as yesterday. Cattle averaging 1.243 to 1,329 lbs sold from $5.30 to S5.S5. with 1.210 to 1.373-lb kinds at o.OGG.r, and 1,017 to l,0$2-lb steers sold at $4 25& 1.75.

The marketing of hogs continues of large volume, the total thus far this week showing a little increase over the same time last week and a gain of about H.OuO over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were fully as large as a week ago and almost 4,000 larger than a year ago. It was hardly expected that the receipts would be as large as they were because there has been some complaint of the scarcity of cars, and the demand has not Justified a liberal marketing. Salesmen knew that they would be forced to make some reduction in prices, but it took some time to discover how much. Packers were acting with the name indifference that they have manifested for several days, and shippers, being unable to get cars, were not urgent bidders. Therefore the market opened rather quiet and continued sluggish through the day. The first sales were confined principally to the good weight hogs and Indicated a decline of about 10c in prices compared with yesterday. On that basis packers and shippers bought deliberately until the more important orders had been completed, when additional weakness developed, and in not a few instances later sales indicated a decline of 15c in prices, especially on light mixed grades. Buyers were even bidding lower than morning prices for the better class of hogs, which salesmen were reluctant to accept, and the late market was very dull and irregular. At noon a large number of hogs. Including several loads of good kind, had not changed hands, and prospects for a good clearance were not favorable. The extreme range in prices was from $5.15 to $6.55, and a very large proportion of the supply sold from $5.50 to $6.25.

The receipts to-day were small, being less than half as large as a week ago and about the fame as a year ago. All buyers were in the market again to-day, and -with .continued active competition the offerings from the start changed hands promptly at fully steady prices compared with those current yesterday. It did not take long to exhaust the supply, and it is quite probable that a larger number could have been sold at prevailing prices. The best lambs here sold at $4.85, quite a number were reported nt $4.50'54.75, and other sales ranged from $3 to $4.35. Choice yearling sheep sold as high as $3.50, and culls to good pheep were reported at $1.503.15.

Iust Hunday his father gave him two nickels, payins;; "One is fur the Lord and the other for yourself." As it was too early to start for Sunday school, the little boy sat on the porch step in the warm runshine, playins with the two nickels. After a while he dropped one cf them and lt disappeared ilorn a crack. Without a moment's heettUlcn and still clutching ths remaining- coin in his clenched flst, hs looked at his father, exclaiming: -Oh, pci thtre tots the Lord's nickel V
