Fayette Spinney. son of B. F.
Spinney. of North La Junta. was
arrested last Saturday charged with
forgery. He called at the postoffice
and asked to have a money order
for $3.50 cashed. which had been
issued recently in favor Of c. ID.
Haines. of Fort Scott. Kan. Post
master Dalton agreed 10 cash the
order whenever it was properly en-
dorsed by the sender. Spinney left
saying he would secure the sigma
ture of the sender and returned in a
few minutes with the order proper
ly endorsed. The postmaster. how
ever. suspicioned that something
was wrong and sent for Sheriff
Barr. Spinney told several different
stories as To how the order came
in his possession. none of which was
satisfactory. and he was locked up
in the county Jail. He will have a
preliminary hearing before Judge
Teters next Monday.

NEW YORK. Dec 9.-Todays stock mar
ket was Kaleidoscope. The market was
ragged and irregular until the appearances
of the bank statement disclosing the deficit
In the legal reserve, when a buying move
ment Of great animation and enormous
volume developed and carried prices COM
sweep. Just in the final dealings there was
some rather wild throwing over Of hold
ings to realize profits. The result was an
unsettled and Irregular closing. At one
time during the short session the market
was uniformly weak and considerable
losses showed all through the list The
upward rush Of prices after the appear
ance of the bank statement was a striking
demonstration of the organized speculation
in the market. The explanation commonly
accepted for the movement was a demon
stration of positive conviction of coming
relief OF the money market There was
nothing but Tumors up to the close Of the
the rumors all pointed towards Washington
as the source of the expected relief. The
current discussion on this situation assumed
| that the banking position disclosed by the
clearing house statement presented a po-
sition which the secretary of the treasury
has stated as contingent upon his taking
action to relieve the money stringency.
IT was argued that the weeks events
showed that money resources even for
commercial purposes have been so largely
depleted that the stringency must extend
TO other quarters than the stock market
unless relief is forthcoming, The bank
statement emphasized this condition. The
rushing up of stocks on this assumption
represents a speculative maneuver of some
violence. OF the bank statement itself
some skepticism was expressed over the
showing of a decrease in loans In view of
the course Of the weeks stock market
The loss in cash of 81, 100 was in excess
of expectations. Foreign exchange moved

CATTLE-There were no cattle of any
consequences on sale today, and as a result
the market he In practically the same
notches as on Friday. Taking into con-
sideration the time Of the year the receipts
for the week are fairly good. about 21,s7S
those Of the previous week by about 200
head. The receipts for the same week last
year were 1874 head, which is smaller than
the run for this week by about $500 head.
There has not been a good supply of
choice beef steers on the market THIS week
of rather inferior quality. and this kind OF
stock the packers have not been willing 10
take except as compelled to by necessity
been only a few scattering loads Of GOOD
choice beef cattle on the market at any
time this week. The market opened the
cattle, while the common and medium kinds
dropped from 15q25c. Prices have remained
steady through the week at this decline SO
that the week closes with good choice beef
steers about 15c lower than last week and
medium and common kinds 15q25c lower.
There has been moderate supply OF
cows all the week. The market on cows
and helfers has been In about the same
condition as that of beef cattle. Monday
saw q decline of 10@15c from Saturdays
cows lost q little more during the week
and close the week with prices on that
class Of stun 15a@c lower. Good choice
prices that were practically steady with
the close of last week.
The market at this point on stockers and
feeders has been In good healthy condition
all this week, and close the week at prices
l0ql5o higher than last weeks close.
HOGS-There was a moderate run Of
hogs this morning, 1888 cars, about $500
head, being reported in up to noon There
has been a good-sized run this week, II
being the largest since the last week Of
July. The receipts for the week total 81 49s
head, as against 30,172 the previous week
But for all that the run this week is large
IL Is still smaller than that for the SANE
week last year. when 55.s52 head were re-
ceived.
Trading on hogs opened rather slow this
morning and the market was inclined 10
drag with prices generally 21kc lower than
yesterday. 1t was thought that as the trad
Ing progressed things would pick up a
little, but the expected failed to happen
and the market closed slow and weak 10 a
nickel lower The bulk of the sales TODAY
were made In the neighborhood OF 81 s2iL
GAS. The top for the day was $3.50, which
Is PIC lower than yesterday.
The market has been In fairly good con-
dition all this week, but has been subject
70 rather violent fluctuations. Thursday
the market was steady with last week s
close, but the last two days OF the week
saw loss OF about Sc. The market for the
week on hogs closes with loss OF about
Sc from last weeks close.
