FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
READING HELD THE BOARDS.
Even United States Steel Completely
 OVsrshadc~ed.

New York, Feb. 16-Subtract the dealings in Reading from today s stock market and only a meagre ag- gregate would remain. Even United States Steel, the unvarydng leader of the market for many months past, was completely overshadowed-
 No news developed to explain the Reading movement beyond the revival of the Reading mystery" as it is known to the professional element in the operations in stocks. This 'mys- tery'' has to do with the supposed concealed assets of the Reading com the company has to exchange its sec ond preferred stock for common and first preferred stock, half of each. The removal of these rumors seem to be of never-failing effect in stim ulating g this stock to furious activity. The point made in the present movement is that the company will be obliged to make a report under the terms of rhe corporation income tax law which will disclose its Concealed assets" The second preferred stock was marked up today, as is usual in these specu- 1ative turns, to conform to the sup posed exchange into common and first preferred stock. This privilege was provided when the first preferred priv ilege made that stock more valuable than either the second preferred or common stock for sharing in dividend payments was problematical, so that
  ferred into common stock might pre- sent a financial advantage to the com pany.. The purpose of such an ex- change now, with the common stock receiving larger dividends than either preferred stock. is not clear
 The conspicuous fact about the gen. eral list was it's lack of responsiveness to this movement in Reading. The tone was quite positively weak in the morning, and the recovery, with the extension of the rise in Reading, was dragging and dull. Special stocks of minor importance made sharp ad- vances, but the market was not strong until the last half hour.
 A feature of the day was a strong recovery in rates of foreign exchange. in spite of a decline in the private dis count rate in London. Preparations for the coming payments of New York city bonds held in London is a factor in exchange. There figured in the days discussion the heavy increase in the European visible supply of copper shown by the fortpfghtly publication of statistics today. The copper industri- als moved sluEgiehly, bJrk the report throws light on the failure of the fa- vorabls American copper statistics, published last week, to help the cop declined here and in London today. No good effect was produced by the move ment towards strike in the New York building trades. The anxiety over the effects of freezing weather on winter wheat without snow covering, which was implied by the action Of the wheat market, received considera- tfon.

SANDY eRIswoLD
 ALWAYS ON DECK.
Omaha Fight Fan Saw Jeff Fight All
 His Battles.


 One man-that is just one man of national fame-has seen James J. Jef- fries make every fight That man IS Sandy Griswold of Omaha, who saw Jim from the time he started up to the present day, every time he got in action against an opponent Sandy re- lated the wonderful fighting machine he saw when Jeff went against Munro. Why, if he is half as good on the day that he meets Johnson as he was that night. he will win in a round" is the way Griswold puts it. T am going on record right now as saying that the day after the coming big fight the whole country will marvel at the easy manner in which Jeff wins. He will show up Johnson as he was never shown up before The trouble with the general public is they are under rating Jeff and there are going to be great many o-called wise men in the fighting game that are going to wonder why they even considered Johnson a hard man to beat. Jeff has never been extended, never in his life. And take it from me he isn't going to be next July, either"

The article added to the agreement forbidding syndicate basebaIl' reads as follows:
 Syndicate baseball is prohibited, ex- cept as an emergency measure. and then only with the consent of the leagues president and directors shall a stockho1der in one club own or con- tro1 stock in another club in the Amer ican league, under penalty of being voted and dealt with as an undesirable associate and barred from all connec . tion with the league"

 His is the longest tenure of office to which any baseball president was ever elected. 1t was made co-existent with the length of the new agreement.

Mr. Kugleman is chairman of the
water and gas committee of the Pen

ment to that position has given it a
great deal of study. AS a councilman,
too, he has become vastly interested
in street paving. While visiting
many large cities after getting
through with the Travellers in Column
bus, he expects to make a close stud
of the water plants in every city and
will also look into the types of paving
in every city which he visits. Talk
ing of the question few days since,
Alderman Kugleman expressed a de-
sire to get as much information as
possible on the subjects Of both wa
ter furnishing and paving, and said
that he would make his present trip
all the more heightened so that he
could give the questions study at
close range.

THIEF L0OTS

FOR SECOND TIME BURGLARS
FORCED ENTRANCE TO HOME
OF J. G. JOINER, ON GREGORY,
HELPING THEMSELVES.

For the second time within month,
a thief or thieves, forced an entrance
to the home of ]. G. Joyner, at No. 227
East Gregory street, and helped them
selves to about everything in sight
that suited their fancy. Alderman
Meyer is a brother of Mrs. Joyner and
he makes his home there also. He re-
ported the robbery to the police sta
ton last night and the officers are
looking out for a very rich art square
and other things which were taken
from the house.
Mr.. Joyner's family has been resid-
ing on the bayshore for che past sew
eral weeks, or until the hot weather is
at an end, and the robbery, which is
supposed to have occurred Sunday
night, is the second one reported at
the same place. The officers, as well
as the parties victimized, believe that
the stealing was done by someone
familiar with the premises.
The police last night started out on
the second robbery, and believe that
if the large art square is disposed of
they will have a chance to catch the
thieves.
