The CHICAGO Market

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-Extreme nervousness
and wild fluctuations characterized the
grain markets here today. Bulls ana
bears wed with each other for possession
of the pits and all kinds of stories were
afoat intended to influence prices. Bear
ish conditions, however, prevailed, and
May wheat closed rs cents lower, May
corn rs cents down and May oats y
cent Hwer. Provisions closed 10 cents
lower TO Pr cents higher.
Wheat ruled the board and in the
fight between existing facts and the en-
thusiasm over uncertain futures, was
badly pressed for losses. The North
western receipts increased heaVily-an
indication, II was thought, that another
free movement was about to set In. Then
came q rush to get out of the market.
AT high prices many sellers went short.
The result was terrible slump at the
opening. May opened jaggedly, at S3gSl%.
Offerings were large, but such low prices
tempted buyers. Many commission houses
put buying orders in the pit. There was
a rumor current that crowd of capital
lists at Louisville were trying to corner
wheat. With a whoop prices started up
again reaching 83l, only to sag again
to S212 to S3QS3l4. This time the flood of
selling orders and the quantity of wheat
poured into the market was appalling
and May sold down in quick jumps, and,
after touching the low price of SlPs,
closed weak at S1$4QSl7s.
Corn was only moderately active and
heavy all session As in the wheat pit
the opening was marked with heavy
selling by professionals and brokers.
Prices broke irregularly at the start, with
May at 6S967A, On the soft spots, how
ever, shorts covered their lines freely
and better prices were the result. May
early sold up we'll and when the reac-
ton came in wheat it touched esq The
close showed however, a weak cOndi-
tion, with May at 671B,
oats acted in sympathy with wheat
and corn, breaking early, recovering
later and closing weak. The selling at
the start both for profit and by shorts
brought May at 46l4Q4534. On the re-
covery it touched it's best price, at 1872.
The close was weak at ASS.
The opening in provisions was easier
in sympathy with the grain weakness.
The leading influence was commission
house buying. The close was somewhat
easy. January pork closed at 1880, having
sold at 17.00; January lard at 9.S7l2 and
January ribs at S.52l2.

THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BIZ

THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BUY
Progress and the Lake Shore & Mich
igan Southern Railway are one and in
separable, and when you buy a ticket
over the Lake Shore your investment
covers the best in travel that can be
bought. The Lake Shore has set the
standard for speed, safety, comfort and
convenience for all other railways in
the world. 1t is the road that broke
the long-distance railway record for
America, in 1895, making $40 miles in
470 minutes. 1t is the government mail
route, selected because of its admirable
roadbed, making great speed with alb
sOlute safety possible. 1t is the road
you should use between Chicago, BUT
falo, New York and Boston.

New York INDICATED

The result shows that New York is
not, as is so often COmplaCently as
sumed, normally a Tammany city.
Four years ago the combined Republic
can and citizens union vote was nearly
10000 larger than that given the sue
cessful Tammany candidate; and this
wear Tammany is in the minority by
considerably more than 10000, on the
average, the majority given to MI.
Grout for controller being about 5000
and to Mr.. Fornes for president Of the
Board of Aldermen more than 81, 600.
The reason for Tammany's numerous
successes is not that New York pre-
fers the Tammany type Of government.
1t has been due simply TO Tammany's
remarkable organization. based on the
cohesive power of public plumber"
and maintained with unfiagging activ-
ity in every quarter Of the city, and on
the other hand the facaonal differences
between the friends of good govern
ment. Whenever it has been possible to
overcome these differences, as in 1894
and 1901. the decent elements have won,
and If this experience is only needed in
the future there need never be another
particle of proof to support the claim
that the people of New York actually
prefer Tammany to derency.
The Tammany apOlogists during the
late campaign worked themselves into
a high state of indignation about the
way the fusion candidates were de
flaming" the good name Of the city in
exposing the peculiarities of Tammany
government; but facts are the potent
things after all. The result Of the cleo
ton in proving that the real majority
is on the side of clean municipal gov
eminent has done more than anything
that has occurred in quarter Of a
century to clear the good name of New
York city from the reproach resting
upon #, and show that at the core it
is really one of the best cities in the
December.

There Was a Dearth Of News in
Yesterdays Stock Market Ex-
cept Such As Had to Do With
Personally of Operators
ECCENTRIC COURSE OF
AMALGAMATED COPPER
Threw the Market Into Renewed
Confusion Although the Gener-
al Low Level Of Prices Was
Affected Only to a Moderate
Extent-Money Market Quieter

New York, Dec. 1O.-There was a
dearth Of news in today's stock mar
ket except such as had to do with the
personality of the operators and the
interests they were supposed to repre-
sent The well-defined movements of
the day embracing the general market
were limited to the upward rush of
prices at the opening and the sudden
relapse at the close.
During the greater part of the day the
market was sluggish and irregular and
trayersed its narrow range of prices
a number of times in a totally incon-
sequential and dubious manner. The
opening burst of strength was the ma
tural momentum of yesterdays late
strong recovery, belated bears rushing
to buy, but IL soon became manifest
that the short interest had been much
reduced by yesterdays hurried cover
ing, and there was no strong disposi-
ton manifested to extend commitments
on the long side.
The eccentric course of Amalgamated
Copper threw the market into renewed
confusion. After rising to 72A, there
was open selling by the brokers where
buying had been a strong influence in
yesterdays rally in the stock, as they
are credited with usually acting for
inside interests in Amalgamated Cop
per The consequence was that that
stock commenced to sag again in an
irregular way until 1t had dropped to
50. The price then worked its way
up, with occasional reactions, to a high
level of 7424, representing a recovery Of
over 10 points from Saturdays low
level for the stock.
The general level of prices was af-
fected by all of these fluctuations, but
only to a moderate extent, the effect
being more to discourage operations,
whether for the long or short account.
There were some individual points of
strength, notably amongst the Wander
bits, with a large demand for New
York Central and a number of less
prominent railroads and industrials.
Included in the latter class were Gen
eral Electric, American Smelling,
American Car, Hooking Coal, Peoples
Cas-. Consolidated Gas and Interna-
tional Paper preferred.
The tone of the money market was
much quieter during the day and there
seemed a sufficient supply at 5b@6 per
cent. But late in the day belated
rumors caused a furry to 8 per cent
by traders urgent efforts to cover
their wants, and the stock market
made an immediate response, the whole
list dropping suddenly to the lowest of
the day on greatly increased dealings.
Amalgamated Copper fell back to 6912
and closed with net loss Of about
point. St Paul and Manhattan fell
away rapidly under the selling, the
formed declining 2a. There was no
effectual rally in the market and the
closing was heavy. at about the lowest.

tinued depressed, and there is not
