NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Today's stock mar
ket was left almost entirely to the room
traders, and they seemed disposed to depress
prices during the early part of the session
by short sales. Their effort met with little
response, and they covered before the close,
yesterdays close. The movement of prices
was, however, trivial throughout the day,
except in a few special cases. Manhattan
reflected the anxiety of those who had bought
yesterday under the mistaken impression that
the underground rapid transit plan had been
at the opening sold the stock down a point,
the lowest of the day. The c.ose was near
the low point after a full recovery in the
meantime. All sorts of rumors were afoat
regarding the stock and the dealings in it
were at times quite feverish. Sugar was
traded in for the most part at a level below
yesterdays close, the supply of stock being
apparently large on any advance Chicago
Great Western showed a degree of strength
on account of its large percentage Of in
crease of earnings for the fourth week in
November. Susquehanna & Western con-
tinued to rise in price, and Delaware & Hud-
son and the coal group sympathzcd but New
the other hand, were heavy.
The days news so far as it went was
regarded as favorable, statements of fourth
week earnings that were published showing
large earnings and handsome increases
The total sales of stocks today were 90, 800

take matters slowly at present. Meanwhile
the trade in spring goods in cotton printed

in a renewal of interest On the part of buy

Lady Now Out OF VIZ
A handsome young woman in a up-to-date
gown got off a cross-town car at one OF the
6rincinal intersecting streets one a1terno III
q weel, or so ago. She looked rather none

occupy the rest of her life before the car
hove in sight. At length it did approach:
She took seat in the grip car. she appeared
to be thinking very hard ABOUT sohe za.ias
that the man in front OF her had big, back
ugly brier pipe which he was putfing at
savagely. Presently the conductor came
along for her fair. She opened her purse
and selected a nickel which she rendered
him He had scarcely gotten back to- where
he could hug the brake on the rear end
again before in going over the purse she
came across the transfer. The next time
he approached the grip she said to him In
the most persuasive manner imaginab!c,
Dear me- | got on this car at Fairhaven
street and | had a transfer from that line.
| was thinking hard of something or
other that | gave you nickle instead of 1t.
Now. if l give you this transfer can't you
refund the nickel? do so hate to have done
such stupid thing.
The conductor was a good looking young
fellow and evidently of the kind that g
pretty girl makes an instantaneous impress
sion upon. He looked at her as If he'd give
a dollar to accommodate her, but said: IT'S
against the rule, ma'am. I'd like to do it
very much but the company doesn't allow
me to-"
She seemed greatly chagrined.

thing" she pouted. I'm sure they wouldn t

The conductor went along to collect an
other fair. AS he was passing her coming
back he said in low tone. I'D like to &C
commodate you, but how can tell how many
of these fellows around here are spotters?"
Then he looked carefully at the men about
and finally at her piquant, halfworried fea-
lures.
"Oh, l guess I'll risk it, he said, as he
took her transfer and gave her a nickel, you
see I'll have to rob a nickel from somebody
else to get my accounts straight.
She smiled her thanks sweetly. and he
busted himself among the other passengers

Why She Was Interested.

Well" said Mrs. Hucksley, as her hus-
band was hanging his coat upon the hall
rack, what did they do with Luetgert? Did
you bring home a paper?"
'Luetgert! Bah!' exclaimed Mr.. Hucksley;
I'm sick of the name of Luetgert why
should you care what they have done with
Luetgert? l wish the papers would quit
printing stuff about him. His affair is Of no
public interest-or, at least, there is no rea-
son why it should be a matter of public in
terest. 1t is actually shameful to exploit
such disgusting affairs"
''Of no public INTEREST,"" retorted Mrs
Hucksley. 1T is a matter of public interest
of the greatest public interest"
I'D like to know how you make that out"
her husband answered
Don't the public eat sausage?" she de-
manded.
But Mr.. Hucksley had nothing more to say

Cattle-Butcher cattle strong and active.
The market was early bare of butcher stuff,
only a few head coming in. Butcher

good at steady prices for stock steers and
heifers.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 4.-The wheat market
opened lower this morning and ruled weak
and inactive during the greater part of the
session. Local receipts were larger than
anybody expected. The latter factor, per-
haps, had more effect on the markets both
at home and abroad than anything else.
There were a few items in the gossip of the
day that were encouraging to holders.
