Charles B. Pottgieser Takes Front
Rank Among the Leading Plan
ists-Seibert's Sunday Evening
COuaprt

Sebert's orchestra served another grand
instrumental success in its concert last even
ing, while Turner hall was filed to overflow
ing with a most appreciative audience. The
selection "Aidao and the overture "Rakoczy"
were the instrumental gems most skillfully
and completely rendered by the orchestra
who seem to grow In grace musically as one
concert succeeds another.
The first selection by Chas. B. Pottgieser
was piano concerto by Heuselt, with or
chestral accompaniment. Gu taking his
seat at the pianofortc the brilliant young
musician was greeted with a storm OF ap
plause, which subsidized when the first minor
chords of the orchestra struck up. Mr.. Pott-
girscr then proceeded to give one of the most
remarkable performances ever heard in this
CITY, his first touch of the kcyboard-bold,
precise aud confident, prepared the audience
in some measure for the treat that was to
come. The concerto was given with bril-
liancy of technique, boldness OF touch, per-
feet precision and a graceful ease
withal which marks him as being
one of the finest pianists OF the age.
This may seem like excessive praise, but 1t
is wholly within the bounds OF truth. The
performance was given with felicity seldom
attained by any artist, and at its close the
gifted young man was greeted with perfect
whirlwnd of applause.
In his second number, the fifth Of the pro-
gramme, the ''letude'i by Rubenstein was
most admirably given and won an encore
that would not be answered nay, necessitat-
ing Mr.. Pottgieser's response in charming
selection Of an entirely different composition.
In the elude the gentleman showed remark
able finger action, mastership OF touch,
while his tempo was faultless.
In his final number, G N0cturne, by
Chopin, was the gem, and his Interpretation
of this author was most excellent. The
clearness and bell like purity Of the tones in
this rendering were particularly marked.
The debut of Mr.. p. in his home city was
most gratifying to his fellow citizens, and re-
fleets the highest credit TO his industry in
thoroughly mastering an instrument on
which so few gaiu high distinction, with
which latter number he has thoroughly en-
rollek himself.

Among the Commission Men.

The commission mea have had quite sat
isfactory week Of it, and prices have kept up
very steady and in some articles there has
been slight advance. There was only one
drawback to the market, and that was that
the weather during the fore part of the week
was so mild that very large amount of poul-
try was spoiled and had to be thrown away,
and still more Of it would have suffered In the
same way but for the refrig orators and ice
houses. which received immense quantities
of chickens and turkeys that were
forced upon the market before and
after Thanksgiving in unusually large guam
titles. This stock that was thus preserved is
now being brought out, and will serve to hold
down prices somewhat. In this connection it
may be very prohtably mentioned that all
people who send poultry into this market
should bear in mind that it is very much
more profitable to ship stock here that has
never been frozen than it is to ship in that
that has been. The former will be worth
more and will bring 2@3c more per pound
than the other will. Wheat began the week
at S5c. On Thursday it went to sec. On Fri
day to SIC, where it remained till Monday,
when it dropped to sec, and yesterday ad-
vanced to SSc. Corn, oats and barley have held
along through the week without much
change, and so it may be said of all other
articles on the list, and the fluctuations have
all the time been kept within narrow limits.

DULUTH. Dec SIN our market we have
had an animated business, with a fair i'm
proyeInent in values over the closing point of
last night. Curb trading was light, with q
fair degree of strength at about last
nights closing quotations. The increase in
the visible supply did not appear to
weaken holders i'll their views, as they
were not offering literally at going prices Of
yesterdays close. The opening sales were at
S914c for May, which was the lowest price OF
the morning. The demand was liberal, and
buying orders were freely on the floor for
round lots. From 991zc May sold at all poi ts
until it reached 81, where the trading was lib
eral from 991scQS1. The majority of trading
has been done at the outside figure Nav
wheat came on the market literally and with
Il slightly easier feeling in outside markets
and buyers succeeded in breaking prices
gradually at first, but soon it sold Off without
effort until opening figures were again
quoted freely, buyers taking 991Ic wheat

point shortly before the close, with fair trad
ing. Other features have been quite neg
lected. a few dealing in January and De-
cember comprise the business. The former
sold at 9S12@93$4c, the latter at CSC. Cash
has been almost entirely neglected.
a car of condemned was all that
was reported. At the close the market was
STEADY, with wheat firmly held at the decline.
Last sales were at 993Sc. with that bid for
May. The afternoon market opened quiet at
9914c May, and soon following the precedent
of yesterday it became active and excited
with buyers at 9954@995sc with only moderate
trading. At the close the market was shade
easier ct 99s4c May. There was no
trading in other features. We quote January,

first prices were generally Is to 4 lower. In
the first half hour there was a decided de-

Louisville Nashville and Union Pacific, but
the losses were generally recovered before II

figures of the day. Sales, 37I, 1865 shares
The features of the day were check upon
the decline started yesterday, the strength Of
Lackawanna and the
WEAKNESS OF WESTERN UNION.
The decline of the latter was due to the cir
culation of reports that there would be re-
duction in the quarterly dividend to be de-
clared tomorrow. After various huctua-
tons this stock closed with loss of g.
Texas Pacific also was weak and lost a.
Northwestern was heavy late IN the day,

known that he was not in usual health. Most
of the leading brokers left the street before
there was even a rumor in regard to the mat

New YORK, Dec. S.-The New York
stock market opened feverish, and values
were somewhat unsettled. Woerishoffer
& Cammack, who led the bear interest yes
terday, renewed the assault this morning
and leading stocks were hammered vigor-
ously, their strong arguments being the
Northwest snow storms. which they insist
will decrease earnings of Granger roads and
weaken London dispatches, but the selling
orders from the other side were small and
about the only offerings of long stocks were
by timid holders, large traders being conf
dent of an early and good reaction. They
say that the bears are selling short, and the
larger the lines put out the
greater the advance will be
when the reaction comes. They also
say there is too much stock bought and put
away for investment to allow much of a
break. Hence the wreckers will encounter
different conditions than ever before con-
fronted them when they attempted to raid
it. 1t is also contended that public senti-
ment, which just now is powerful factor,
is strongly in favor of higher prices, know
ing that advance will inspire confidence in
all leading lines of trade and industry.
The Vanderbilts were severely pounded by
Drexel, Morgan & Co., who were working
to get under the Cammack- w oerishoffer
syndicate, who were ready for a
big break, but they showed stubborn
resistance to efforts to break them.
New York Central opened at 1O5, sold at
1044, back to 1854 and huctuated rapidly.
Lake Shore was offered in large blocks and
was freely taken by Savin. who took 10, 900
shares. 1t opened at 871a, sold at 81, back
up to SO, and was unsteady. Northwestern
was raided early. but the bears. finding
their offerings quickly taken, withdrew.
Paul was hammered early and declined q,
but rallied "a. Sales ranged from 1870
954.
WESTERN UNION WAS RAIDED
on reports of Il per cent. decrease in divi-
dend and sold down from 754 to 75$l, but
again rallied to 754. The other active
stocks were Kansas & Texas, Louisville &
Nashville. West Shore certificates. which
advanced 2 per cent, Northern Pacific,
Lackawanna, Oregon Transcontinental
and Union Pacific, all of which were
raided at the start, and sold off,
but recovered and ruled irregular.
Nickel Plate preferred was active. and
showed the largest advance opening 81
lower at 2O1z, sold up to 2Ss4 and broke to
1924. Late in the day the entire market
improved. The presidents message was
generally construed as a bull argument.
The announcement that the Western Union
dividend would be only IL per cent, in
stead of ~. as had been expected. caused
break in this stock. In regard to the
weakness in Texas Pacific, it was stated
that there had been some talk of default
on the January interest, as the road would
need the money to buy steel rails with. 1t
was claimed, however, in this connection
that Gould had bought so. 900 tons of steel
rails for this road, and that the profit in
this transaction would more than pay the
interest due in January. The close in the
entire list was at the best prices scored dur
ing the day.

WEEKLY REVIEW.

Generally speaking the past week has been
uneventful, there being comparatively few
changes in prices and the volume of trade
continuing large and improving. In all re-
spects the hardware market is in good condi-
ton with strongly favorable prospects. The
advance in freights from Eastern mills to
Western distributing centers has had the
effect of cutting off part of the trade in
nails from the West, and buyers in large
way are holding off, waiting till more
abundant supply holds out the promise OF
easier terms. 1t is reported that inquiries
for barbed wire for Southern shipment are
more numerous. Some of the Eastern works
have DO ked largely for that territory and are
dispose to assume a f1rmer attitude. The
declined in nails noted last week
still continues and it is gener-
orally thought that with the
curtailment in the amount Of building in con-
sequence of the close of the building season
and the approach of winter the price will not
go much higher, If it does at all. The drug
market is active and prices are well sus-
tanned. The tendency toward an advance
continues, and some staple goods will GER
tainly be hightr. One leading drug house re-
ports that the country sales for last month
are rs per cent. in advance over the CORES
ponding month of November last. Nor
phine has advanced 10c per ounce. Quinine
is lower for the moment, and has reached
point lower than ever before known. Bro
mide of potash has advanced 4c. Alcohol is
higher, also iodine and iodides. Gum
arabic is up and sticks at the
advance gained. Castor oil is also
firmer. Extra quality of ginseng is in good
demand. The ordinary grade, however, is
quiet and dull. Senega root is also dull and
lower. The trade in Christmas goods and
druggists sundries is larger than ever before.
The cold weather which struck this latitude
last Saturday and Sunday served to help the
dry goods trade good deal, but it would
have helped it great deal more had it come
sooner. 1t is little late in the season COM
ing, but dealers are very willing to see it
whenever it comes after the fall months.
Prices are not changed in any material re-
spect from those of all last week. All adj
vices from the interior indicate good,
healthy condition of affairs, as money is
plenty. Many Of our jobbers have already
started their buyers east for the purchasing
of the stocks for spring. Groceries are in
very active demand and trade has been dur
ing the last month a great deal better than it
was last year at this time, while the collec-
tons are very satisfactory. Dried fruits are
a little higher. Sugars are stronger and
graduated has advanced sc. In lumber
there is no change from last week. Boots
and Shoes leather, ETC., and finished iron and
steel are all without change.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The money market,
while failing to show special activity, was
in satisfactory condition to both borrow
ers and sellers. the demand being sufficient
to absorb the bulk of the surplus reserves
seeking investment, and rates were steady
at sos for call to thirty days paper, and
COZ per cent. for time loans In other
departments Of banking there was fair
average business, and bank clerks and
officials found ample work to employ their
time their duties just now being increased
by balancing their books and by other
matters connected with closing their yearly
accounts. There was no special alter
alton in the general trade. Dry goods
and other establishments handling goods
sold to. the holiday trades reported fair
satisfactory demand for such lines, and
slightly improved call came for furs and
other goods whose sales have been increased
by cold weather, but the movement in mis-
cellaneous was slow. Steel rail mills are
we'll supplied with orders for next years
dealing, and the outlook for that interest is
bright. New York exchange sold at par
between banks. Sterling exchange was
firm, in response to an advance in New
York by Brown Bros. Actual sales were
