NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Men with pis-
tolls. and with those pistols aimed sky
ward toward his tenth floor window
perch formed the first vision that Julian
Fl Muller beheld after he entered the
room he had hired in the Hermitage, at
Seventh avenue and Forty-second street
Rut mere rem were not enough to fill
the mental horizon of Muller. He had
to hark back to mans far ancestors
Muller saw gorillas Then the hotel at
tendants awoke to the fact that Null

That was why Muller was in the west

Tennis and Racquet club and the Ards
lev club. and has been staying in the
home of his aunt Mrs. Vreeland, in 779
Eighth avenue.
Muller registered in the Hermitage, and
was assigned to room on the tenth
floor. Soon he ran down to the office
and cried to the clerk: There's a lot
of people IL the back yard trying to
shoot mel
AS a remedy for that amazing condi-
ton the clerk put Muller in a room on
the ninth floor on the street side. But
soon the, telephone bell rang in police
headquarters. Muller was on the wire
"The street out here is full of gorillas
and thingsi" he cried. tits shame a
man can't ct nights sleep without be-

To drive away such beasts of the for

chasers were sent around from the West

the detectives, but after long parley he
he refused to enter the elevator. At the
head Of tle stairs on the ninth floor he
broke from the detectives and leaped
down the stairs half-dozen at a time.
He vanished on the ground floor, but was

MINING QUOTATIONS

Following are the quotations of yesterday as
furnished by the Los Angeles-Nevada Mining
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-20
EGG PRICES FORCED
DOWN THIRD TIME
FURTHER WEAKNESS SHOWN IN
CHEESE MARKET
cranberries in Strong Demand-Apple
Quotations Gaining Strength.
Cool Weather Causes Lemons
Loss of Flavor

A further and more determined effort to
force retailers to reduce the price of eggs
was made yesterday. Thus far they have re-
fused to accede to- the wishes of the whole
salers ana the logic of business conditions,
and have maintained the unnecessarily high
quotations. The wholesalers argue that other
lines of commodities have been lowered In
price,. and as the buying figures permit the
retail of eggs at reduction of at least .
should be nut 1nto effect at once. 1t is ex-
Iected that the retailers will acknowledge the
correctness OF the argument.
Butter was firm, demand good. Receipts
have not been much above the average for sew
eral days, in fact they have been lighter the
last day or two.
There was no change in the potato market
though receipts were below normal yesterday
The best grades continue to maintain their
recent quotations and the poorer stock is
moved with some difficulty.
Cranberres are moving at a good pace, as IS
to be expected at this season of the year The
supply Is fairly satisfactory but no surprise
will be manifested If a slight advance is made
at the end of this week or at the beginning
o. next week.
Vegetables were accorded strong call at
steady quotations.
The demand for apples is growing as the
Gays go by. Quotations gradually moving
up to the top figures
The cold weather is affecting the demand for
lemons. Oranges were plentiful and held
their prices of the preceding days steadily.
Smyrna figs arrived and sold at p cents the
pound
Cheese was weaker, which is in line with the
movement Of the past several weeks. The east
ern markets have lacked hrmness for the last
two months
