biggest fools you ever saw. I came
across a buck one day on the plains
and he asked If 1 had any whisky. I
shook the canteen and told him there
was only one drink there. He insisted
on having 1t and offered his rifle for it.
Finally he got mad because 1 wouldn't
take the rifle and pony. You never saw
such fools. Why didn't I make the
trade? I would. but you see, that was

 Chicago Dec. 2.-The wheat market experienced slow opening Thursday, with prices of both options Ac in decline, May starting at 9OAc, split, and Decent Der at 9SAc. Liverpool cables at 1:30 p. rn showed H@%o decline. The price current this week in its crop summary declaring the wheat crop situation fa- vorable. Advices from Duluth were to the effect that there are about 100000 bushels under charter to clear from that posnt previous to the close of naviga- tion The greater part of this amount is for Chicago. Late Arg'entines was not so favorable, estimates of the exporta- ble surplus of that country being reduc- ed to 2OOOOOO0 bushels. Trade was mar row and in consequence the general sen- timent seemed to favor lower prices, December displaying the most weakness as a result of the Duluth news. May declined to soc, split and December to 955sc. Brokers representing the bulls were moderate buyers of the May option. Late English cables came easier and despite the heavy clearances of wheat and flour, the market sought a lower lev ell and afternoon May declined to 8She.

 New York. Dec. 2.-The stock market opened rather active and strong. Con- siderably increased and compressed or ders to buy all the principal issues. Un- ion Pacific opened with simultaneous sales of 1,5O0 shares at 25s@22h against 24ss last Nght on the report that the attorney general would make conces- sions to the Union Pacific reorganization committee in regard ito the sale of the Kansas Pacific. The grangers were strong and dealings were very heavy with the Keene brokers prominently bdentifed on the buying side. Peoria. Chicago and St Louis, and Illinois Cen traI showed gains of 4 per cent. Con solidated Gas opened off F and then :m- medialely rallied a point. There was no pressure on the market but increased railroad earnings and the belief that the coming session of congress will be quiet one, helped the upward movement. London, however, sold between 12,0o0 and 15,000 shares of various stocks dur ing the forenoon. The market became buoyant and buying was very confident. Sugar and the grangers were in special demand, but the whole list tended up- wards. Sugar sold up to 1421a. Consoli- dated Gas sIffened points and gains over point were recorded Tn numerous stocks. Union Pacific lost IS and Bur lington point and a slightly easier tone developed on realizing. Sugar went down point and the general Mist small fractions. Business became less animat- ed on the decline. The attempt was made ito rally and some shares reacted to top figures, but liberal offerings of other stocks kept the general list un- settled.

In w all Street.

New York, eDc. 2.-The character of the buying of the last few days was dis closed by today's results of the stock exchange. The day opened with every apearance of yesterdays sharp demand for stock being stiM in force. The lower prices from London were ignored and large orders placed on special stocks, caused sharp advances in the whole market. The amount of commission house buying indicated considerable awakening of outside interest. The buying of the grangers, Sugar and Un- ion Pacific was especially bolder, con- filent and by teh close of the first hour the market had become buoyant and some sharp advances i'm prices had been obtained. Then without any dimlnution of activity 1t became evident that the advance in prices had come to a stop, and that a heavy realizing movement was in progress. When sugar fell point and the general list showed an ae- tual decline market became dull and efforts were made to rally it by push ing up the prices of special stocks. First New Jersey Central, then Peoples Gas and Rock Island were rushed up by manipulation. But this plan seemed un- ayailing against an adamant wall and by noon the tone had become decidedly weak and there was lively throwing overheard of stocks to save loss. The bears aided by short sales and before long had succeeded in causing a further decline. The news of the day was net important In its relation to the stock market, and such as 1t was was favora- ble. The forecast of the presidents message had a reassumng effect. Belief was felt over the prospects that vest m railroad rates would be shortly restored. Reports that an adjustment was proba- ble between the government and the Union Pacific reorganization commit tee over the Kansas division of the road, gave special strength to Union Pacific and was a susta ming factor in the gen eral market There was some selling of stocks fer London account. but it was without much effect and was about con- cuded about the time the reaction set in in this market.
