Among the granger shares this morning

Among the granger shares this morning
there was tendency on the part Of the
professional element to boom Rock Island
to the exclusion OF the others. 1t looked
at times also as If strong pool were

it had advanced to 116 rs. The talk OF
the street was that 120 will be reached
probably in few days. The other grang-
ers were strong. but not buoyant. around

Sugar was buoyant this morning.

The bears attempted to make capital out
of the resignation of Mr.. Lorillard from
| the presidency of his tobacco company, but
| their success was not brilliant. The gen.
/ tleman still holds his position as treasurer
| of the Trust. Although this matter can
not be considered important in any way
and probably will have very little effect
on the tobacco stocks, there is a tone Of
pessimism regarding both Of them in the
Street and 1t seems very probable that they
will have a hard time in keeping up with
the remainder of the market.
Whisky, common. was weaker this
morning than at any time heretofore. 1t
declined to 6 Is in the first trading. The
conversion of the old stocks Of the vari-
GUS whisky companies into the new trust
securities was to have taken place today.
1t seems probable that the importance of
the people identified with this trust may
have a temporary good effect on the prices
Of these securities and many are holding
their stock with this idea, although they
profess to have little faith in the ultimate
success Of the combination.
The Vanderbilts were evidently subject
ed to some heavy realizing orders this
morning and they declined somewhat from
the prices Of yesterday. The recession,
however, was not, during the first hour,
alarming in any way. The talk of New
York Central is that 1t Is to sell at very
much higher prices.
The industrial securities and the New
York traction stocks, with the exception of
Manhattan. were slow this morning and
disposed II anything to decline. The pro-
fessionals are not inclined to buy the steel
securities and the public is letting them
alone as well. although there is little
doubt as to their intrinsic merit. After
the experience Of the outsiders recently in
having the prices Of their Steel and Wire
manipulated down by the insiders this il

Louisville and Nashville was the most

Louisville and Nashville was the most
buoyant stock on the list during the early
trading today, advancing to Il and holding
at that price stubbornly despite heavy SELL
ing. At this high level, the highest in
many years, there are many bearishly in
clined regarding the stock, but careful
consideration Of the earnings OF the road
during the past year and of its future pros
poets convinces the friends Of the stock
that it is much more likely than not to go
three or four points higher at least. South

its outlook is very similar to to that Of

The stock market was in a hesitating

The stock market was in a hesitating
mood this morning, prices neither advanc-
ing nor declining during the first hour OF
the day TO any extent. The opening in
most cases was trifie above the close of
yesterday and few stocks declined frac-
rionally from this level in the early trad
ing. Others had small advances. This
hesitation had nothing of the appearance
OF weakness in 1t, but it suggested to
many that recession might occur before
the end of the week in the absence of buy
ing demand. The advice given by people
VINO have been most nearly right on The
advance was that stocks should be bought
on any decline Of point or more. The
party that believes the bull movement is
on and that prices will be higher next
week is growing every day, under the in
fiuence of the great strength of the list
and the evident inability of the bears 10
hold their own. Wheat was weak today
and the crop advices good. Money rates
yesterday did not stiffen any despite the
predictions of many, and in the morning
hours today there was no evidence of an
intention to advance them. Earnings
statements continue to be of the most
favorable nature

THE PRICE OF BEEF.
It Il Bound to Remain High Until
!. Farmers Stop Selling Their
Calves for Veal.

There has been a great deal said about
high prices of beef. i will give you my
observations about it: 1 agree with
most of them that it is supply and de-
mand that cause high prices. Some
four or FIVE years ago prices were too
low for Illinois and eastern state farm
ers to compete with western range cat
tie, SO they sold what they had at low
prices, and in place of raising from two
to ten calves they let them suck till
four to six weeks old and sold them in
Chicago for veal. That was the best
way for them to do at the time. \
Now it. is different. The western
range cattle are not in such great num-
bers as four or five years ago. If 4
feeder here wants to feed cattle he
goes to Chicago and ships them in to
feed, because he can't pick up his feed
ers here in the country as before. If
prices stay where they are now, next
spring will see Illinois farmers raising
more ealyesSa and better bred ones. In
about three years they will be ready
for market. just think, if every farm
er On so or 16O acres throughout Hi.
snois and theseastern states would raise
two steers a ,ear, what supply that
would make! Meanwhile prices viii be
high till that is done, in my op:nion.-
