FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
SPECULATION LIsILEss.
Fresh Hardening of Prices With Net
Gains at Closing.

New York Oct. 6.-There was a re-
lapse into listlessnsss in the tone of
the speculation in stocks today and
operations were Insulating and without
marked initiative. The sharp reaction
of the day before resulted in consider
able discoura cement to the movement
for rise. 1t was the current suppo-
sition that an orga nization recently
formed to conduct market movement
on an enlarged scale had encountered
opposition in the form of free offerings
from bankers and from insiders in the
properties which acted as an admoni-
ton that those interests were out of
sympathy with the attempt to conduct
an extensive speculation at this time.
At the same time with the recession
in prices there was a falling off in
the orderings which weighed on the
market yesterday. This was taken to
mean that no aggressive movement to
depreSs prices or to make the stock at
concessions was in contemplation. The
consequence was a fresh hardening of
prices, with the closing at net gains.
The days events offered a slight in
centive to market action on either side.
The Portuguese revolution continued to
excite only languid interest, although
the depression of Portuguese and
Spanish bonds in Paris was reported to
have induced some active selling for
account of that center in London. The
further effect in New York was barely
perceptible, If at all. Other foreign
influences were of more effect. The
London discount market began to show
a belatad relaxation from the effects
OF the October settlements. in spite of
the weak return of the Bank of Eng
land. That and the similar weekly
statement of the Bank of France came
in the list of influences already pass
ed. The easing discount rate, on the
contrary, was of some effect in relax
ing the foreign exchange market in
New York. Another influence on the
foreign exchange market was the set
Element of the Manchester cotton spin
ners dispute and the impetus thus
given to the foreign demand for cot
ton.
The immediate condition in the local
money market is som swhat easier with
the passing away of the effects of the
October money payments.
There was renewed attention paid to
stocks known as specialties, which are
often subject to individual influences
outside the current of general tenden-
cies in the market. The sudden ad-
vances here and there in such stocks
was believed to be caused by market
pools formed for the purpose amongst
small bodies Of operators. The recur-
renee of these movements overcame to
some extent the heaviness shown at
one time during the day. Lower prices
for copper in London did not hurt the
copper industrials in the local mar
ket.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $2.2S7, 900. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

Instead of playing the Hartford
High school football team this after

sary, the Academy eleven will play
them Saturday morning at IL o'clock
on Trinity field, Hartford, and the
Academy squad will have to take the

Sions have been worked out this week
it looks as if the eleven was rounding
into winning form, expecting to put up
q stiff game against the Capitol City
football stratgeists.
Coach Aultman will take with him
as subs Coughlin, Porter and Bliss.
Because of an injury to Walsh, VINO
has been playing guard, Hertz will be
at that position. Walsh is laid up with
blood poisoning in his leg Thtre is an

"Big Kid" Hailed
Before the Court
Judge Snyder Says Good Spanking,
Not Court Sentence, Needed by
Joyous Youngster,

II was the opinion of Judge Snyder In
police court yesterday morning that high
powered spanking machine should be set up
In the western part Of Council Bluffs and
regular grlsts of the young hoodlums in
that, part OF the city be run through IT,
The decision was reached after spending
nearly half a day listening TO the evil
dence and the wrangling of the lawyers
while trying @. NJ. Veliet, a youth Just
between the period OF small boy and young
man, and appropriately termed big kid"
The youth was charged with disturbing
the peace the complaining witness being
Mrs, w. ]. Aimy, who detailed the I'M
seemly character of the youngsters con-
duct. which included a great assortment
OF eat calls" and midnight revels. Her
testimony was sustained by only one witt
ness, her neighboF, Mrs Ewing, and there
were half a dozen witnesses on the other
side who testified that the boys conduct
was chiefly due to lrrepressible outbursts
Of healthy, boyish vitality, admittedly often
verging on the line OF rowdyism. Judge
Snyder continued the case indefinitely, ex-
pressing the hope that somebody might sci
up the desired spanking machine.
