ON SLOT MACHINES
City's Solicitor Says, If Not Men
ace to the Public, They
Are Lawful.

Recently the police Of The District

machines attached TO buildings which
are not a menace to the moving public
are lawful and may be allowed to re-
main undisturbed.

FRISCO SIGNS TO DISAPPEAR
After January L Rock Island VIII
Have Exclusive Possession of
Its Omaha office.

Beginning January l. no more Frisco
business will be transacted directly in the
offices of the Rock Island lines at Four
teenth and Farnam streets. An order has
been received from the Chicago offices
stating tina the divorce of the two inter
ests will take active effect on New Years
day.
During the past five or six years the
Rock Island lines and the Frisco system
have had joint offices in Omaha Prior to
hat time the Frisco interests had an Of
flee of their own and It is now consid-
cred likely that separate Headquarters
will be maintained in Omaha in the fu-
ture.
For the present. at least, a travelling
freight agent viii probably be in charge
OF the Frisco business in Omaha" said an
official Of the Rock Island lines. 1t is the
general impression, however, that the old
system of two offices win be adopted. al
though we have no advice to that effect.
We have been ordered to discontinue the
Frisco business here and the signs Of that
railroad will be erased from our windows"

in Loan Market After First
of Year.

NEW YORK. Dec. @.-The action Of the
stock market may be fairly regarded rs
rejecting a cheerful view Of the outlook
for values tempered by the restraining in
fluence Of the reasonable restriction Of
money market supplies.
Confidence in a material relaxation Of
money after the turn Of the year dimin-
ished the effect OF the present tightness Of
call loans. The foreign exchange pursued
a decided downward course and gave 10
tice Of cessation Of pressure on this mar
ket from abroad. The easing tendency Of
discounts abroad may invite a renewal Of
borrowing through the medium OF finance
bills on New York account. The effect on
the call loan market here was not pro-
nounced. The subtreasury has withdrawn
some 100 from the New York money
market since the last bank statement and
some large shipments Of currency to Cam
ada and to the domestic interior are re-
ported. Taken in connection with the pay
ments next week that have to be provided
for. and which are estimated at over $780,
10000, II Is felt hat the money market ia
While this may have restrained the activity
OF the dealings In stocks, no effect Of de-
preston was caused.
The very favorable showing OF net earn
ings for November Of several important
railroad systems fostered Increases in
prices. The transcontinental railroads were
particularly strong in this showing. The
spread Of strength into better known rail-
road stocks was an outcome Of this de
v~elopment The earlier were
nearly all in the minor specialtles. The

CATTLE-Receipts or cattle were lignt
this morning ana as trains were late there
was at no time very many cattle Of any
kind on sale. The market, as a whole,
was in fair condition.
Packers ali seemed to want beef steers
and there was a fair movement of the
prices. Under reasonably free buying the
offerings changed hand in good season.
at ieast the early arrivals die.
Cows and heiters were also in good de-
mand ana they, too, commanded STEADY
to strong prices. The early trade was in
a good, healthy condition, and as a rule,
satisfactory to the selling interests.
The stocker and feeder trade was ex-
tremely dull and prices very weak. The
fact is the trade on that kind of cattle is
the next thing to dead. Cattle that are
too thin to work off on the killers are
hard to move and the country can hardly
realize how poorly they are selling. The
cause is to be found in the fact that corn
fields are in many cases not ready for cat
tie TO be turned in, many farmers not hRv-
ing finished picking corn before the heavy
snow came on. All winter pasture is buried
and that means that cattle have to be fed
on stacked hay of fodder. With the supply
Of such feed running low the country rs
not likely 10 buy many stock cattle at the
present time.
