YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Profit Taking Causes Prices to Crumble
 ---Late Recovery.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The mixed ope- rations of new speculative buying in the stock market and heavy selling to realize profits accrued went on side by side to-day in much the same way as for several days past. But the profit taking so effectually overbore the new buying as to cause a crumbling of prices. When the bear traders per- ceived the tendency of things they at tackled the market vigorously and their raiding tactics succeeded in un- covering large stop loss orders placed by speculative holders below the mar ket in the fear that conditions were be- coming unstable. With the reaching of stop loss orders declines became quite precipitate and the tone more de- cisively reactionary than for a long time past. The action of the market had to do entirely with technical con- ditions and little attention was paid to any news developments. Recent enor- nous liquidation had resulted in large reduction of the concentrated holdings of stocks in the hands of the organized speculation which has been able to control with such skill the feel ing of the market in way to save prices from amaze. Discussion of the market was largely given up to the supposed identity of individuals or parties who were doing the principal selling. Conjecture pointed pretty clearly to quarters which have been credited with operations leading to some of the most notable advances of ! the last few days. It was concluded therefore that a purpose to sustain the market against selling to take profits was the motive of those advances rather than any developments regard ing the value of the properties. The lack of any news of such developments aggravated the distrust in the move ments. There was the growth of the sentiment sure to be aroused at times of reaction in the stock market that the unvarying course of prosperity, great as it may be, has been discount ed sufficiently in the price advances al- ready affected. The unseasonably mild weather led to suggestions of damage to the winter wheat crop, uncovered with snow, while complaints were put in circulation of the light demand for coal on account of the mild weather. The session of the United Mine Work CTS convention kept alive solicitude over the labor outlook in the coal in- dustry. Signs of unsteadlness in the metal market, especially copper and lead, threw open to suspicion the very high level of prices of stocks of com panies interested in those industries. Foreign exchange became easier and the rates for time loans were marked down. The market of the latter part of the day showed relief by the liquida- tion and had the benefit of the demand to cover from the short sellers on to- days decline. Southern railway, Den yer & Rio Grande and Colorado Fuel helped the recovery by their vigorous advances and the closing was firm and very active.

ALDRICH DISARMS IN
FREE ALCOHOL FIGHT
CHEAP FUEL MEASURE TO COME TO A VOTE SOON IN THE
PROMISED.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 16.-
Senator Aldrich has thrown up his
hands and says he withdraws his
opposition to the free alcohol bill.
1t is freely predicted now that the
measure will be brought to vote
in the senate at an early date. The
only question now is whether some
little Joker" will be slipped into
the bill, when it's friends are not
looking, which will make the legis-
lation ineffective.
Already 1t is reported in Wash
ington that business men are en-
gaging machinery and buying sites
for the erection of distilleries of de-
naturized alcohol.
The secretary of agriculture re-
ports that there Is not an agricul-
tural section of the United States
that cannot produce some commod-
ity that can be cheaply transform
ed into alcohol-so cheaply that it
can be used for fuel. This is one
reason why the free alcohol bill
has proved so popular.
Perhaps the most important dis
covery of the department is that
this product can be made on a COM
mercial basis from the stalks of the

corn as we'll as from the kernels
The south will find that yams and
sweet potatoes can be made into
alcohol. Wherever potatoes grow
they will make profitable crop for
alcohol. The alcohol remains in
the sugar beet pulp after the sugar
has been extracted, and the beet
will have just that much added
value.
In the passage of the free alcohol
bill the Standard Oil Co. will find
the greatest menace to its profits
since that trust was created. The
influence of this powerful organiza-
ton has been able for Is years to
keep this bill from becoming a law,
because free alcohol would furnish
a cheap heat and light which would
soon bring down the price of gaso-
line, kerosene and all the petrol.
cum products.
New lamps will be put on the
market specially designed for burn
ing this fuel. The cheap alcohol
will be used in automobiles, in en-
gines used by farmers for running
threshing machinery, in stationary
engines in cities, and in score OF
the manufacturing arts.

SHOOTS ORDEAL COMES
AFTER THE RATE BILL.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 16.-
One of the first things to occupy
the senate after the rate bill will
be the ousting of Reed Smoot, Nor

Reed Smoot will not be ousted
for polygamy. The charge that he
is a polygamist. or ever has lived
with more than one wife, was not
substantiated by the testimony
brought before the committee Of
inquiry. 1t appears that Mr.. Smoot
was married to Alpha M. Eldredge

been true to this wife. She has
