ogden, Utah, Dec. 1.-TWO highway
tobberies were the record made last
evening by lone highwayman in the
short space OF about 20 minutes secur-
sng for his trouble about $500 In cash.
The first man TO be held up was
Hebery Purdy. He was passing along
Wall avenue between Twenty-third and
Twenty.fourth streets shortly after
six o'clock last evening going to his
work at Scowcroft's warehouse where
p is employed as Waterman. He was
Walking along the avenue pushing n
bicycle and had in his other hand a
package of meat. Suddenly from be-
hind tree sprang the hlghwa lyman
who with the usual command to hold up
his lands, and ugly looking gun poked
1T Purdy, indicated he intended bust
ness, Mr. Purdy did not hold up his
hands saying he could not, as his arms
we're full of packages, and he asked the
robber what he wanted, the reply came
his valuables and the robber went
through Purdys pockets, securing only
about $3.50 In change.
The second boldup ACQUIRED near the
corner OF Poplar and Wall avenues a
short time later when, A, j. Retaur-
ney was greeted with the command TO
hold UP his hands which he did very
quickly and was relieved of two poe
ket books containing between Sl3 and
Sl4. The police were notified of the
holdup by both men who gave good
description of the robber who commit
ted both crimes, but 1t is believed after
the second holdup he made for the de-
pot yards and got out Of town.

the city council last evening, Mayor
William Glasmann submitted a lengthy
communication bearing upon the wa
terworks question, which has been be-
fore the people of Ogden for number
OF years, and which has caused much
litigation In all Of the courts of the
state. The mayor urged that the
council and representatives of the Og-
den Waterworks company get together
IN an effort To close the matter before
the end OF the present year. He said
that the growth of Ogden was retard-
ed because of the water mains not be-
Ing extended and declared that the

urged the cessation Of litigation and in
timated That II the present council did
not take definite action the whole uues-

 Lower WEAK AT THE OPENING Report of National Ginners' Assocla- tion Had Tendency to Rally the Market During the
 Middle Morning.

New York, November 1s.-The cotton market opened weak at a decline of 9q12 points and soon increased the loss to 106l 16 points under lower cables, local scar pressure and liquidation. Around 10.6s for January covering was more of a factor. and with some demand, attracted by the report of the National Ginners' associa- ton to the effect that 7411, 359 bales. had been ginned (presumably to November 14), and that this represented IS per cent of the total crop, the market rallied partly. and during the middle of the morning ruled quiet about 6 to points net lower.

confidence has been persistent in face or restrictive necessities of the money situ- ation. Attention of operations Tn securl- ties has been concentrated on the money developments and the violent alterations of the week in money and foreign eN- change conditions have been followed closely in the fluctuations in stocks. A spasm of liquidation swept the maaket in the opening period of the money strin- gency and in the latter relaxation of the money market stocks recovering to level well above the average closing or last week. The action Of the market seemed to demonstrate the determination or speculative holders to maintain thelr position even at high interest charges, except where an actual recall of credits compelled a retreat.
 Sentimental effect )f showing Of an actual deficit in local reserves of the banks was of great influence on specu- lative sentiment, although the actual per centage of reserves to deposits as re- ported in last Saturdays bank statement showed a change of less than l per cent from the average condition of the clear ing house banks at any time far more than two months past.
 But 1t was known that the narrow mar gin of the banking surplus during that period had maintained only by an elab- crate system of transferring bank loans to trust companies, foreign loans and other sources. The attraction or last weeks high money rates opened up new resources to the needs of speculative Dor rowing by the placing of foreign fu1fs through the medium of the exchange market and by the bringing of large sums to New York from Canada and some Of the domestic interior centers. The cash demanded upon New York banks was also relieved by the increased volume or pen sion payments and by a lessened demand from the interior for moving the wheat crop. But with the decline in the money rate and the renewed anxiety over the conditions in Russia there came violent rebound in the foreign exchange which threatened resumption of foreign pres sure on our money market.
 This course of events demonstrates how widespread and indeed universal is the pressure upon the worlds money mar kets to cause the present conditions. In the United States unprecedented trade ac- tivty, high prices for commodities, some tieing accounts of credits caused by de- lay in freight transportation by the great congestion and an extensive supple mentary demand in the enormous specu- lation based on the prosperous condition afforded abundant explanation for the large and eager demands for money. In foreign markets there can be no douot that the secondary effects are being felt of the great war credits which have been in process of foatation.
 Bonds were but slightly influenced by the Iiouidation which occurred in the stock market and moved narrowly also in the recovery.
 United States 2s advanced A and the 3s and old As F per cent, while the new As declined 1s per cent on call on th' week.

PRICES PUSH UP
 ON STOCK MARKET Closing Tone However Was
 Decidedly Irregular HESITATION DEVELOPS Many of the Prominent Stocks Showed
Many of the Prominent Stocks Showed Small Net Losses, While conspic- uous Speciaties Held Some
 Very Striking Gains.

New York, November 1S.-Prices pushed bp aggressively on the stock market to- Hay in the confident anticipation that the bank statement would disclose the mak- Ing up of the deficit of last week in the legal reserve. The publication of tie etatement showed a surplus established of t2,915,150 above the 25 per cent legal re- huirement, but the movement of stocks developed some hesitation and the closing tone was decided irregular with many prominent stocks showing small net losses from last night. while the conspicuous bpecialties held some very striking gains.
 While the bank statement showed the restoration of a surplus, the manner in which it was accomplished as indicated by the changes in the various items aroused some questioning over the out look The cash item showed decline bf nearly $2,O0o,00O which is accounted sor approximately by the known move- hents of money but show practically no benefit from the supposed private trans fer of large sums to the banks at this eenter from Canada and other sources.
 The improvement in the bank position, kitltlOlt, ID clllllclJ uuO u thO SilOi hioho eut of $27,2O4,2G0 in the loan item of the banks. On September of this year the banks recorded a decrease in loans of f30,237,300, which is the record figure, and pn October IA of this year the decrease was $29, 6600, with these two exceptions This weeks loans contraction is several million dollars in excess of that of any previous week in the history of the clear Ing house. It is not supposed that the stock market liquidation which was con- lined to Monday and Tuesday represents any such reduction of outstanding credits. Foreign exchange was advancing again today,s while the sterling exchange rate at Paris and at Berlin moved against London again. Sensational gains were made in the prices of the federal mining stocks; those of the southern steel com panies; New York Air Brake, several southern railroads, American Snuff, Brooklyn Transit and a number of in- Hustrial specialties of minor grade. The general movement of prices was narrow bnd hesitating.
 Total sales of bonds, par value, $2,9l9,OOO.

Gilbert & cIay's Market Letter.

Private estimates of Tuesdays census figures and depressed Liverpool market were responsible for decline of more than a dollar bale In cotton today.
 Opening prices reflected almost the en- tire loss, and thereafter a complete ab- sence of recuperative power was observed
 The National Ginners' association issued a .bullish report. their figures indicating that 75OO,OOO bales had beoH gnned and that this left unginned only 22 per cent of the crop, making the yield 96OO,OOO bales. But 1t was remembered that lheir figures of actual ginned cotton month ago were about 100000 less than the census bureau and the proportion of the crop re- mainfng to be ginned was considered in the nature of guess. As a stimulating in fuence the report entirely failed.
 For the time being the large consump- tion attracts little attention. Last year the early months, of the season 'ound spin ners bare of stocks and the taldngs were large This year the total 'niiG takings exceed last year by more than SoCO0 bales, although spnners were believed to have carried over good supply, and prices have been much higher
 No further proof is necessary that fair sized crop is necessary or higher prices must obtain. However thtre is srill il largo scattered long interest in tir, south. and no efforts will j' spared by bc,Js 10 force covering.
