world rose up against him and smote

Furling had sworn out a warrant,
charging Hugh Rogers, manager of
Red Cross hospital, with assault and

told how Rogers had roughly elected
him from the hospital when he went
there TO get some money which he
claims was due him from Mrs. Ster-
ling. who formerly conducted the
place. After ne had told his story,
he called Miss Lovey, nurse in the

But Miss Lovey referred TO him as
an old trouble maker, who called the
nurses vile names and made a gen

a patient in the hospital.
She denied that Rogers had handled
Furling roughly.
Rogers also fatty denied laying

Stein dismissed the case, telling Fur

HOLDERS IN A PANIC

New York. January A very heavy speculation today miscarried by the loss of the Consolidated Gas suit to overthrow the New York state law limiting the charge allowed to be made for iluminat- ing gas in New York city to 80 cents per 1000 feet. How excessive had been the speculation based on an expected con- trary decision it would require a review of the course of the stock for many months past to decide
 Whenever the supreme court was in ses- sion it has been the regular thing, as Monday approached to run up the price of Consolidated Gas on the assumption that the court was now about to hand down it's decision in favor of the com pany. The abrupt announcement that the company had lost its suit threw the hold CTS of the stock into a panic and an al- most perpendicular drop of 26A points by intervals as much as points was the consequence.
 So violent a movement, even in a single stock, could not be expected to leave the general market unaffected by sympathy. The approach to frenzy, however in some of the selling that accompanied the slump in the gas stock must be attributed to a state of uncertainty over the general po- sition into which the stock market was coming. The movement throughout the morning had been feverish and unsettled, marked by spasmodic advances in select ed stocks accompanied by heavy realizing under cover of the sustaining influence of these advances. The methods followed to incite some of these advances and the inspiration for the allegations on which they were based had disquieting effect on speculative confidence and gave an impression of unstable forces working for the advance.
 The collection of great mass of well informed and influential opinions in nu- merous financial reviews. revealed so widespread a skepticism of warrant for much of the later stages of the rise in stock prices that speculative sentiment cannot but be impressed. The Consoli- dated Gas case incident proved the de- cisive factor in determining the shifting tide of that sentiment. The immediate force of the crash was modified by tho way left open for a renewal Of the suit, and was partly neutralized by the clinch- ing of the Standard oil success in contest ing the S29,000 ,O00 fine The heavy ar rears of the overcharges collected by the gas company pending the final decision Of the suit offered sufficiently serious in- road upon resources in hand. A greater Influence from this decision grew out of the extent to which the assumption has been built on since the election that cor poration activities were to be free from restraint In any degree which would im-

WHEAT MARKET SHOWS STRENGTH Prediction of Cold Wave Is
 Stimulus GAIN Is HALF A CENT Corn, Oats and Provisions Also Close Firm on Chicago Board of Trade. Cold Would Hurt Wheat
 Crop.
 
GAIN IS HALF A CENT

Chicago, January 4.-official prediction of a cold wave for large part of the winter wheat belt caused strength in the wheat market here today, closing quota tions showing net gains of ssc to 1ae. Corn, oats and provisions also closed firm.
 Aside from the weather bureau forecast the wheat market lacked any news of suf- ficient importance to inspire any great amount of either buying or selling and consequently trading was quiet nearly all day. The election of officers of the board of trade, which occurred today also de- tracted materially from the interest in the pit. According to the weather bu- reau cold wave will spread over a large section of this country tonight and to- morrow, bringing with 1t the coldest weather of the season. As large areas of seeded wheat are unprotected by snow, the drop in temperature, it was claimed, might result in considerable damage. This apprehension regarding the fall-sown crop caused fairly active buying during the final hour of the day, which carried prices to the highest point of the session. Dur ing the early part of the day sentiment was quite bearish, owing to a decline of Esd to Ed at Liverpool resulting from increased offerings of wheat from Argen- tina. The market closed strong at the top with May at $1.oSas and July at 9sssc.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 633,OO0 bushels. Primary receipts were 573,000 bushels
 The amount on ocean passage decreased 1,592 900 bushels and the visible supply in the United States increased 183,0O0 bushels Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 35s cars.
 With the expection of moderate weak ness at the start the corn market was based on reports that country acceptances were very light. Shorts were the prin- cipal bidders, but the volume of trade was not large. CasE- Corn at the sample tables was steady to lac higher. The bulge in wheat had some effect late in the day. The market closed firm with prices up 9sc to 1ac with May at 611ac and July at 617c. Local receipts were Al cars with of contract grade.
 An improved demand for cash grains by eastern s~>ppers caused firm prices in oats. The market was also affected to some extent by the firmness of corn. Trade however, was quiet. At the close prices were AQ3sc higher, compared with the previous close. Final quotations on May were 511s@51Ac and July 46ss@4612c. Local receipts were 254 cars.
 Provisions were firm the entire session on buying by commission houses, based on an increase in export business dur ing the past week. Selling was scattered. At the close prices were to 15 cents high CT. Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
 Wheat, 10 ears; corn, 409 cars; oats, 210 cars; hogs, 3S,0O0 head.
