Especial service to The Herald by ]. c. Will
son, member Chicago Board Of Trade, Hotel
Alexandria, Los Angeles).
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE announcement was
made last night from the best sources that the
Bartlett-Patten interest bought more wheat
yesterday than they sold. Traders watched all
day to see whether the Patten holdings We're
coming out, and attributed the selling by that
house which executed commission orders, as
for Patten, but there was no good evidence TO
show that theA lines were disturbed traders IN
close touch with pit operations said the Bart
ett-P atten house bought 1O0 900 bushels in the
first two hours ami that their purchases on the
break greatly exceeded their sales during the
day. on the curb after the close general
comparison of notes on the part of the pit ope-
rators disclosed the fact that between l,OOOOOO
and 1000 600 bushels OF May wheat had been
sold on stop loss orders from lOI to LOG. 1t was
observed by well posted traders that an I'M
meEse quantity of wheat has been put on the
market on all bulges of late and that the bull
leaders appeared confident of their position de-
spite the savage attacks made on the market
by the pit element
Corn traders are looking for May to sell down
to 60c One Of the large cash handlers said ms
advices from Iowa were that the break had
reduced farmers offerings. as they want 5Oc
for corn and the decline did not warrant the
country dealers in paying that figure FOR any
quantity. A large part Of the receipts for sew
eTal days have been applied to previous con-
tracts and have not come on the open market

ASKS chow MUCH, THEN, is

Court Cites Galiieean's Rebuke to
Pharisees in Its Favorable De-
eison in Suit of Employe
Against Railroad

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-"How
much, then. is man better than a
Sheep"
The rebuke CT Christ to the Pharisees
is cited in a rebuke to the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad company. in a decision
by Justice Stafford of the district SUI
preme court, sustaining a demurrer by
F. e. Goldenstein, injured in the serv-
ice of the company, to the company's
plea that he had bartered away his
right to damages by accepting relief
benefit.
The court declares that as a railroad
in a bill of lading for live stock, so
it cannot kill and MAIN employees with
impunity because it provides a hos
pital, kept up chiefly by the men whose
lives are in its charge.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE running up Of the
gold engagements for shipment to France to-
morrow to the of So, 800, 600 took the edge
of the speculative temper today and a con-
siderable unloading Of stocks resulted during
the larger part of the day. The lesson OF the
gold shipments was strengthened by the pre-
liniIary estimates of the weeks currency move
ment, from which 1t appears that practically
no gain on balance in the interior had occurred
to Offset the absorption OF $5,9SSOOO by the sub
treasury operations of the week. None Of the
gold taken for export has figured yet in the
subtreasury operations the effect therefore be-
ing deferred to next weeks bank statement
rather than in the showing to be published to-
morrow. The payment of subscriptions to the
Panama canal bonds have not yet commenced
TO figure in the subtreasury operations, leav-
ing another money requirement to be met The
feeling of confidence that the interval to the
easy money markets Of January could be
bridged over without special in retrench-
ment of outlay was somewhat disturbed by this
development and some hasty retirements from
stock commitments followed. The small effect
produced upon the exchange market by the
gold engagements gave an impression Of a still
untitled requirement, which indicated lkeli-
hood of the continuance Of the gold outgo. II
is supposed that besides the great inflow from
abroad of American securities at the high
prices lately prevailing the conduct Of the spe-
culative campaign has involved some large car
rying of stocks in foreign markets with money
borrowed in those markets. The amount Of the
shipments today was limited only by the sup
ply of bar gold procurable at the assay office,
and foreign bankers assume from the sustained
strength Of foreign exchange that gold Will be
shipped next week to a considerable amount A
falling off in wheat exports this week of 2,346,
765 bushels from last week, and in corn Of 70
256 bushels helps to explain the scarcity Of ex-
change bills. The call money rate was stiff
fened but the actual lending rate was but
lite affected. The sporadic cases of strength
in the earlier stock market had to do mostly
with speculative rumors, such as r. H. Har-
rrnan is to Join the Wabash directorate, that
Chesapeake & Ohio Is to issue bonds and raise
its dividend that Reading is to raise the DIV
dend, that New York Traction reorganization
is ready to go forward with the return Of the
president from abroad, etc. Strength required
in Of these when the market rallied late
in the day and cut down the extreme losses
considerably. Bonds were irregular Total
sales, par value, &c. 4sS,0 900. Government bonds
were UNCHANGED on call.
