CHICAGO, Dec 23-Unusual activ-

day throughout the session and a
strong tone prevailed. There was lit

but the majority of traders were in
clined to believe a reaction was due
after the four cents decline of the last
three days. December manifested the
greatest buoyancy and during the day
sold between $1.14 IA and $1.16 IA.
May ranged between $1.10 and Sill

December AMI 1-8c below the best
mark for May.
An official prediction of unsettled
weather tomorrow for the trans Miss

following moderate weakness at the
start. The market closed strong with
prices up 1-2@5-Sc to SIS.
Renewed liquidation caused consid-

ably be some months before the two
promenades will be ready. AS to the
furnishing the bridge with a trolley
and elevated surface, that is as much
a mystery as it has been for the last
year 1t almost approaches the pro-
portions of a scandal for which the
board of estimate and the public ser
vice commission are to blame.
There is every reason to believe
that almost another year will elapse
before people obtain transportation
facilities over the bridge. 1t is true
that the board of estimate is now
hurrying to pass out the franchises
which were applied for by the Brook

chiss are finally granted it will take
some time to make the proper con-

SUMPTUOUS DINNER
FOR POPE Plus TX

ROME. Dec 24-Observance of
this evening with a supper, at which
all the officials in attendance on the
pope will be guests of honor.
The supper is one that would not
appeal to the mind of the modern cpl
cure, unless he be thoroughly Roman.
Food and vegetables constitute the
only foundation, beef, lamb or chicken
being out of the question, and even
the butter, eggs, cheese and other ami
NAL products quite impossible.
The large cells, "capitone," some of
them three inches in diameter that
infest the bed OF the Tiber, form the
great delicacy in any Roman fish din
ner, ard few days before Christmas
the demand for capitonc well exceeds
the supply.

present regime, but in some respects

was at one time the greatest and most
gorgeous celebration of the year, but
owing to state and church differences,
it can hardly be expected that the

RESPONSIVE THAN EVER.
Reading Second Preferred Is Rushed
to III 1-2 by Leaps and Bounds

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The move
ments in individual stocks which have
been the feature of the stock market
for several days were even more vIo-
lent today, while the general list was
even more inert and unresponslVe.
Reading second preferred was rush
ed to III 1-2 by leaps and bounds.
There is a privilege C exchange OF
this stock into first preferred and COM
mon stock in equal parts and similar
movements in the second hand stock
have often been made before to the
accompaniment of runors that this
privilege was to be exercised. What
advantage would accrue to the com
pany is not clear, as the dividend

is limited to per cent while the hair

rate. now paid on that stock.
The holdings of the Lake Shore and
the Baltimore and Ohio in the COM
pany, by which control is exercised,
are larger in the preferred stocks than
in the common. Consideration or
these facts aroused suspicion Of the

Almost equal obscurity surrounds
the volatile rise in Rock Island The
failure of the preferred stock to share
in the movement increased the sus-
piciOn felt towards it. Old reports of
the intention of the controlling inter
est in the company to allOt full voting
rights to the common stock were re-
vived
The rise in Babash preferred was
connected with the Rock Island move
ments in the days cOnjectures. The
demand was alleged to come from
Rock Island in this an this renewed
the surmises of a coming junction of
Rock Island and Lehigh Valley through

Shortly before midnight tonight all
the unregenerate sinners of Rome, who

Early Christmas morn the most
popular place of worship in Rome is
the church of ST. Mary's the Major.
In it's hallowed vaults is preserved a
relic of the Nativity. and all during
the great feast this relic is exposed
for the contemplation of the pasish

But every church in the Eternal
City is crowded with men, women and
children who wish to pay their tribute
of devotion at the ''presepiOsh' or
"creches' which adorn all the ediices
during Advent. These presepios are
familiar to every Roman Catholic as
representations of the scene in the
stable at the time of the Nativity.
Some of the presepios are elaborate,

Many parcels have been dispatched

From all over the country and from

that the president is highly popular
among his countrymen, that proof was
forthcoming today.
