NADE A HIGH START
Familiar Old Device Used by
Wall Street Traders.
DEATH OF VICTORIA
Had but a Slight Effect on
the Market.

New York. Jan. 2-There was palpa-
BILE effort 10 open prices high today. In
fact. brokers in a number Of stocks ad-
mitted the receipt Of orders TO make
FIRST prices as high as possible. This IS
a familiar device of traders who have
gone long on stocks during a Use on
one day. 10 get the greatest possible
oQeneht from the relapse after the open
ing in prices OF the stocks which were
most palpably manipulated yesterday
disclosed the operations of this class.
ST. Paul and Northern Pacific were con-
spicuously affected in this way, the
former Of opening up IL and the latter
rising almost as much and then running
off again to near last nights level The
same stocks came into prominence aga Il
late 10 the day. after the news had been
received OF Queen Nictorias death. IAls
event had been so definitely foreseen
that there was little reason TO expect
that its actual announcement would
cause any marked depression in the mar
ket- but apparently there was specula-
tive element who feared tha possibility
of selling Induced by the queens dea n.
After that event was reported there was
a pause in the activity OF the market, as
though awaiting its effect on prices. and
shortly afterwards room traders set TO
work to bid up prices again. They lifted
st Paul an extreme Al over last night
Northern Pacific 2ss. and the Gransers,
Pacihcs- Trunk Lines and more promi-
nent stocks generally from to points.
The same traders were active in Sugar
all day, making the extreme advance

movement in Missouri Pacific was
brought to a sudden stop after three
point jump al the opening. and the Wa
bash stocks also fell back The extreme
decline IN Missouri Pacific was tx and
1t closed at a net loss of Sie. This action
of the stock naturally caused some mere
dulity regarding the many rumOrs afoat
Of a coming consolidation Of
the Southwestern Railway systems and
of buying By a prominent capitalist for
control The other members OF Nnhe
Southwestern group were, however, wei
sustained and the absorption of Waba 81
debenture bonds continued on an enor-
nous scale and at a price level above
that of yesterday. Closing prices OF

SLACK CASH DEMAND
Causes a Net Decline Of 1-0
Cent on Wheat
CORN QUIET AND EASY
Provisions, Although Moder-
ateIy Active Show Heavy Tone

Chicago, Jan. 22-weak cables, heavy
receipts and a slack cash demand caused
net decline of to 17sc in May wheat
today. Corn closed sc lower in sympathy
and oats 4 to &c down. Provisions at
the close were 5a71kc to PIC depressed.
Wheat went VI a cent yesterday. To
day the stuff bought the previous ses-
sion was sold and the market dropped
back 20 the place it occupied Saturday,
The market was largely a local one.
May wheat opened = TO lower at 742s
to 1850, and soon after touched 75c. The
initial depression was based on the fact
that Liverpool showed decline in the
face Of the advance here the day be-
fore
Corn was quiet and easy in sympathy
with wheat. Receipts were sol cars, and
this was also bearlsh consideration,
taken in connection with the favorable
weather and easy cables. Had not $50
many influential people arrayed them
selves on the bull side under the theory
that there is a demand for the supply,
huge as it is, the market would undOu5t-
edly have declined still further As it
was today, however, the pressure brought
on the market was not heavy. The de-
mand was scattered. May sold between
$3.50 and 3s1zQ3S9sc and closed $se lower
at 3s19aSS5sc.
Long cats were for sale nearly al day
and as the demand for them was tame,
the price suffered in consequence. The
wheat weakness was the influence. Re
ceipts were 343 cars. May sold between
251sc and 247sc and closed 1sd14c down,
at 247sG25c. Elevator interests sold, but
pit traders, joined by some commission
house agents, were buyers, and the tone
on the whole was steady.
Provisions were moderately active, but
showed an undertone of heaviness. The
opening was weak because hog receipts
were heavy and prices at the yards de-
pressed. Buying of pork and ribs
caused a rally during the first hour, but
prices again eased off in sympathy with
wheat, and the close was heavy. May
pork sold between 1913 and S1S.75 and
closed 1212c lower at s13 50; May lard be-
tween $40 and S7.35, closing TO TIC
down, at 81. 35d7. BIZ, and May ribs be
tween 81. O21zs47.05 and 1856, with the
close F0c depressed, at S. e5.

So cars; corn, 299; oats. 10; hogs, 10000

HOGS 10 CENTS LOVER
Biggest Receipts in Three
Years--QuaIity Good.
TOPS DOWN TO S.. 10
Nearly 1000 Hog8--CattIe
Steady and Active.

Yesterday at the stock yards was a
day of heavy receipts. the heaviest in
three years, and also a day Of declining
markets. The market quotation wac a
strong 10 cents lower, and this was the
rule everywhere, eli the western live
stock markets suffering a big drop and
the provisions market went along with
the live hog markets. There was a big
run of hogs at this point and the same
situation prevailed al all the rest Of the
hog receiving points. The best hogs here
sold at S5.l8 and this was in line with
the rest. Saturday was a fair day in
point of receipts, but nothing heavy.
Monday was below the expectancy as TO
the run. but it was predicted. and the
prophecy thoroughly justified that Tues
ny would be heavily. Through most OF
the day the car hoEs came in in just
0rmai amounts. but toward the close
there was a regu ar landslide and hogs
from every road came pouring in The
demand was strong at the declining prices
and the buyers were eager TO get the
hogs Tbs was equally true when the
market registered tops at IS cents high T.
an hogs rhat were offered were readily
taken and the one or two cars that
were held over were done so by orders
from holders. In an, twenty-three cars
went over the scales, and the actual
number Of hogs weighed UP was 1884.
All hogs yarded would count up over
two thousand. The quality Of the hogs
yesterday was very good, most OF them
running I'D into heavy weights. There
were a few loads of light lights. and
they sold at their grade price The av-
ersge weight OF the whole car lots was
2so bur this was brought down by the
cars Of very ught hogs, the top loads
being all extra heavy in weight.

THE SHIPS cow BOOED.
II heard the F"shorn and Mistoolx 1t
for Relatiye-The Mys-
terry Explained

The captain Of an English steamer
spun IA yarn the other day of the
mysterious "Boo-o-o" which answered
his foghorn. He was steaming down
the channel, when the thick fog came
on. AT such times he never leaves
the bridge, and sounds the foghOrn
himself. On this occasion, after
sounding the signal, he heard a for-
horn in reply right ahead. lie turned
the ships head point to avoid col
hSion, and then sounded again.
Again the reply came 100000" right
ahead AS before.
The vessels head was put back to
the same position as at first, and once
more the foghorn was sounded. Still
the reply came, as before, right
ahead, ''Roo-o-o."

OSTRACISED FOR HUMANITY,


As penalty for being too humane
Prince MphonSc, the nephew Of the
regent Of Bavaria, has been given
the "l:luc LETTER." In American slang
vcrn0cular this might be Interpreted
TO mean that lie will hereafter re-
ccive the marble heart" in select
official circles. The "Blue Letter"
means official degradation lie is, it
seems, too humane for his uncle and
the military commanders, and he has
been called upon TO suffer for his hui
mainly.
He was asked to resign from the
Rayarian army for no other reason
than that he was too gentle and easy
going with those under his command.
lie is not severe enough to please
the military, and the mistake he made
was TO manifest too much cOnsidera-
ton for the horses under his charge.

On reaching a steep and stony de-
scent, Prince Nlphonse ordered the
men to dismount, so that the horses
might be spared. il is said that the
order completely upset the plan OF
action. Popular feeling is intense

brought about thc princes dismissal,

the subjccts of his uncle. It is be-
licvrd to be he first time lavaran
prince has received the ''Bluc Letter."
