itated by the selling of the December delivery

HAY and Feedstuffs

Shipments of hay have been rather light dur

day season. and. is usual, we md trade very

year and naturally do not wish to have any par

Most dealers are anticipating healthy de
mand for hay right after the first OF the year.
and as stocks in both dealers and consumers
hands are running very low. II Is but natural to
expect a healthy movement shortly after the turn
of the year.
THE most encouraging feature of the hay stu
alton is the outside demand The bulk Of ship
ments 10 the north have thus far been alfalfa,
but during the last few days some grain hay has
been moving and il is expected that this demand
will imprDye right along
Inquiries for hay are now coming in from the

STOCK MARKET In
PERTURBED STATE

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-In the stock
market proper Rock Island fell into the
background today after its highly sensa-
tional performance of yesterday. Those
performances left an impression on the
minds Of traders that security capable of
such eccentric and inexplieable action
might carry with it hazards in the han
ding which discouraged attempts to ex-
pertinent with IT.
As for the episode itself not much fear
was felt Of direct consequences Of harm
from it.
The supposition continued TO gain force
that reckless and blundering misapplica-
tion of manipulative methods were at the
bottom Of the incident. On this suppo-
sition It would follow that the buying of
the stock up TO 81 came not from fright
ened shorts. but from the speculative
party which has managed the advance.
The matter having taken on the pro-
portions of scandal and the stock ex-
change committee being appointed to in
vestigate it being engaged during the day
in the work the subject was kept con-
spicucus II was remembered that the
Hughes commission had secured assur-
ances from the stock exchange governors
Of their ability to control and prevent
AAgrant manipulation such as led up to
the Brown & Co. failure in 1905. 1t
was the character OF these assurances
that influenced the commission TO recon-
mend against attempts to regulate the
abuse by legislation.
From Washington came a report that
the federal authorities were showing re-
newed interest in the question of possible
regulation Of speculative dealings in fu-
tures. This was accompanied by intima-
tions of an early submission to congress of
the special messages of the president deal
ing with the proposed measures Of regu-
lstion of corporations.
Individual stocks advanced from causes
net always specified. The coppers were
strong and were influenced by rise in
the London price Of the metal. The quick
sale of the Delaware and Hudson refund
ing bonds made a good impression on the
investment situation, although the general
bond market continued dull and unrespon-
sive.
The failure TO settle the switchmen's
strike on northwestern railroads was dis
cussed without causing any signs of ap-
prehension in the stock market. The grain
markets. however, we're affected by fears
of delay in deliveries.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par
value SS.77s, 900. United States bonds
were unchanged on call

Butter. Cheese and Eggs

Receipts of eggs continued to increase yester-
day, and with receivers carrying stocks
than they could readily dispose of in regular
channels prices sagged badly. What little busi-
ness was transacted the dairy exchange re-
suited in fresh extras dropping 4 1.c to a quo
tation of $3.50 a dozen. and fresh firsts which
had previously been quoted at that figure, were
2Iac lower at 4oc dozen. With all receivers
willing sellers at the quotations 1t was
evident that further declines were expected The
