The Market Elsewhere

New York, Dec. 16.-The New York
stock market made determined stand
today against the decentralization re-
f1ected upon it from London, and by
the end of the first hour seemed to have
overcome the weakness. This appear
ance, however, was deceptive. Active
liquidation was in full force again in
the second hour, and ate away the re-
coveriea that had been achieved. fore
ing prices below the opening level, the
market closing with all the symptoms
of decentralization and at the lowest
prices CT the week.
The days net losses for the principal
active stocks run from two to eight
points. In the railroad list the great
est sufferers naturally were the So
called Internationals, which are listed
on the London stock exchange. and
especially those which have been re-
cent speculative favorites there, such
as New York Central, Pennsylvania, st.
Paul. Louisville, Atchison preferred and
Missouri Pacific.
In the list of industrials and spec
ialties the New York City Traction and
Lighting shares, Sugar, Tennessee Coal
and others of the Iron and Steel stocks
were the largest losers The early re-
determined support afforded by the dis
tribution of large buying orders
through the list by inside interests in
the various stocks.
These interests had not waited for
the opening here to do this, but had
cabled buying orders to London. The
fact that today's steamer is the last
that viii be available for q week for
shipments of gold, gave assurance of
relief from that drain during the com
ing week. There was a resumption of
selling orders by cable during the sec
ond hour, and a growing uneasiness
over the situation in Boston growing
out of the announcement of a bank
failure from that centre. The bank
statement was construed as unfaySra-
BILE in the item Of loans, although the
cash changes conformed closely to fore
casts
The small loan contraction barely
served TO offset the cash decrease, SC
that the gain in surplus reserves is
only nominal. The statement does not
include todays and yesterdays gold
engagements. The weeks experience in
the stock market had been a severe
one, owing in great part to the money
situation.
1t is evident that a large part of the
money called in has been put out again
under the urgent stress of circumstan-
ces. "A large amount is known to have
been transferred to Boston to help
strengthen the situation there The
local money outlook was the determin-
ing cause of the late break in prices
and withdrawal of support.

dIOward, Crosby & CO.'S Boston Lottery

Boston, Dec. 16.-The wheat news of to-
day was conflicting and without particu
lar feature, the Liverpool market being
quiet at 1-3d. higher but hardly up to
parity with the American market The
firm tone was due to the advance of half
penny in cash wheat. and incidentally it
was noted that Chicago, New York and
Liverpool prices were practically the same
as on December LIST. Clearances of wheat
and flour were small and for the past five
days of the we were scarcely more than
half the corresponding figures of the pre-
vious week.
Receipts at primary markets were
small as an offset. The making of an
other elevator regular will add, it is ex-
pected; 500, 600 bushels to the visible sup
ply, which bids fair to make a good sized
total increase on Monday The continued
absence of accident to the Argentine crop
is matter of general comment, in view
of the vicissitudes of the past The
weather in Europe is cold, but less un
seasonable, and the foreign demand is the
governing factor Prime says: storms
of rain and snow still prevail Winter
wheat still growing; crop getting very
rank; reserves of winter wheat very
low" The general opinion is that north
west supplies of wheat will have to be
drawn on within sixty days

The Cost of a RnX

The following good recitation for boy
was found in the Chicago Advance:
1t does not take as much money to live
in the country or in Il small town rs it
does To live in the city. real the other
day that it cost s. 900 to bring up city
boy and educate him aud dress him we'll.
| said TO myself, "rhat is because every
thing in The city has to be bought and
living Is hiyh." But began to study the
thing, and found that even country
boy costs his parents good deal.
When you count what boy eats, and
what he wears, and the school books he
has to hvae, and the doctor bills that have
to be paid when he gets the measles or the
scarlet fever, he will cost the folks at least
500 year. | guess ii boy is pretty bad
to smash things, or to kick his shoes right
out he costs more than that. So when
am p, and old enough to do for myself,
shall have cost father more than $4,000.
Mother cooked nv victuals, made my
clothes and patched them. washed and
ironei for me, took care OF me when
was little fellow and whenever | was
sick, and she never charged anything for
that. If she were dead, and father had to
hire all that done, it would cost him
another 800 year more, and that's
$1,000 worth OF work mother will have
done for me by the time | am man.
Four thousand dollars for a boy, What
do yon think of that?
These are hard times. When parents
put $4,000 into hoy, what have they a
right to expect OF him? Is it fair for a
boy to play truaut at school? Is it fair
for him to play ball, go in swimming, or
hang around town all of the time. when
maybe his fathers potatoes are not dug
or the wood brought in for his mother?
Is it fair for him to disappoint them by
swearing, smoking and drinking?
Some OF our parents have to put about
all the property they have into us boys
and girls. Ii We make spittoons and
whisky Jugs of ourselves, they will be
poor indeed. But if we make good citi.
zens and substantial men, they will feel
as if they had good pay for bringing US
up.

WORLDS GREATEST SHOWS.
Ringing Bros WorId-Famous Big Circus
TO Exhibit Here.

Ringing Brothers popular Worlds
Greatest Shows will exhibit in this city
Monday, (afternoon only June 10. 1t is
needless to say that this will be an
amusement event OF the first importance.
Ringing Brothers circus il not only the
largest aienic institution in the entire
world, but it is also the most colossal
exhibition ever organized either in an
cient or modern times. In novelty, in
up'to-date uniqueness, in the sumptuous.
ness OF Its displays, in the beauty of its
matchless horses, in the number of its
'high-priced performers, in the wealth of
its pageantry and in the generosity of
everything that goes to make up a super
latively great exhibition, it has no equal
on earth. Other shows have epdeavored
to initiate it, but never with success. IL
has an individuality all it's own--a dis
tinctivenes that gives it recognized
character for originality all over the land
II has repeatedly been said, and with
truth, that Ringing Brothers have found
ed a new school OF American showmen,
but it is school which has no successful
pupils. To announce the coming of this
great show is sufficient to insure public
attention. The pictured presentment of
the five famous Ringing Brothers upon
an advertisement is an absolute guaran-
antee of perfection in arenic amusement.
Unlike other circus managers Ringing
Brothers are never content to rest upon
their laurels. The present season has
witnessed a notable increase in the mag
uitude of the show as well as a most un-
precedented gathering of American and
old-world novelties. The three rings.
double stages, aerial spaces and huge
fonrth-mile track are fairly alive with d-
never before seen with any arenic exhih-
ition. The most thrilling mid.air ex.
ploits, the most graceful OF lady and
gentlemen riders, the most astonishingly
expert acrobats, vie in interest with the
most sensational and vonder-creating ex.
hlhtions of trained amin Al intelligence.
Surely the world has never seen anything
to compare with the marvellous Lockhart
elephant actors, Marchand's pugllstic
proboscidians or Herr Sluder's elephant
brass band. ANY one OF these newly i'm
ported great features wonld be sufficient
to stamp show with merit and distinc.
ton. Equally remarkable is O'Brien's
sixty-one horse act-over three-score
high bred equnes all performing in one
ring at one time, under the direction of
single trainer A superb menagerie and
a most exciting reproduction of the ex
hilarating sports and racing contests of
imperial Rome are important incidents
OF the great show, while the all new free
street parade which inaugurates the circus
is the most gorgeously reeplendent gra-
tnitous display ever given in any land or
any age.
