CHICAGO Jan 6.-Changes in wheat prices
were quite irregular, ranging from Ac below
to 1ac above yesterdays close all the session
the former figures being reached on an early
rush Of selling The latter was based on
skepticism of the strength in the English mar
kets which were affected by the untaVofaple
crop results reported from southern Argen-
tine. Late in the session, however 1t deNeI-
open that the market was getting good sup
port, private Argentine cables confirmed early
reports of unfaVorable weather and outturn,
and the market ranged higher A great deal
of wheat that had been sold during the mar
ket evidently had been well absorbed ana the
shorts were covering at the last. The advance
in wheat was largely due, however, as a
whole to the sharp advance in corn, Whieh
renewed the speculative buying in wheat by
the bulls and brought people back on the puy-
ing side who sold out and were waiting Iof
a good setback to buy on again. The snort
interest locally has been pretty wen com
mitted yesterday and today on the weak
places and they made the high nGuIes cover

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Liverpool broke badly
this morning, rather to the surprise of the
local trade who had anticipated a steadier
market Heavy western and Wall street sell
ing and trade hedging on weak cables precipl-
tated a violent decline at the opening, which
was checked by short covering and by spin
ners calling cottun on the break As the sell
ing pressure ceased this buying brought
quick upturn above last nights closing where
western houses and houses with New Orleans
connections turned heavy sellers, precptating
another break While the undertone is very
uneasy. the market seemed steadier TINS art
ernoon and ring sentiment was less pessimis-
tic The southwest continues very confident
buying on the breaks freely In anticipation
of a bullish ginners' report on Monday, The

were very bulish.

rAssnclated Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. Ga shrinkage IN
the dealings in stocks TO-DAY accom-
panied the quieting of the tutlilol ~
which the market has moved tnlS Weeh'
The early market rellecteu sollle sl'5, Ie
naming unsettlement with recurrence
at the last. , ,.,- -,
Rock Island was watched closely as
a nossible further disturbing Iaclor'
and its weak decline started the gen
eral market backward. The manner IN
which the activity died out ON tne re-
coverv indicated a lack of CONVICTION IN
the buying. The hesitation was partly
due to a report-afterward corrected
that the presentation of the president S
special message would be delayed until
Monday.
The distribution of the advance cop
les of the message brought into wan
street offices an inlkling of its contents
resulting in professions OF confidence
that the effect of the reading of the
full message would prove reassurlng
to corporation and capitalists interests
which had been apprehensiVe.
The Bank of England official discount
rate was expected to come down, as II
did. but the event was a factor in the
early advance in stocks.
Favorable View Modified
Further consideration of the condi-
tions modified the favorable view OF the
money outlook to some extent. 1t Is
pointed out that the obligations in
CURED by the London money market to
the Bank of France in order to
strengthen the position in the fall are
now maturing and are likely to involve
movement of gold from London to
Paris and probably increased pressure
in New York.
The more active demand for time
money in New York continues, but the
call loan market showed a relaxing
tendency again today.
The heavy liquidation in the cotton
market had the effect of realizing funds
to the money market.
Copper industrials were especially
benefited by the report that the shut
down of the works in Montana on ac-
count of the railroad switchmen's strike
had been averted. The heavy storm
damage to the railroads and the OBJ
struction of traffic weighed on values of
some of the railroad stocks.
Bonds were irregular Total sales
par value, $3,696,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

ANTI-MCLACHLAN FEELING

PASADENA, Aug. 14.-Fifty precinct
workers of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Re
publican league held a meeting last
evening in the board of trade rooms
and laid plans for work at the polls
next Tuesday State Senator c. w.
Bell in a short speech took occasion to
reprimand Rev. Robert ]. Burdette for
his statement in a recent speech in
Pasadena when he stated there is nc
machine in the Republican party. Sen
ator Bell said: "Surely the genial Bob
has read from time to time during the
past in the paper upon which he holds
q staff position the statement that Phi
Stanton was an Espee machine man.
He must know something Of the Santa
Cruz machine ridden convention, and
he certainly has read of Abe Ruef s
confession, in which the former boss
admitted buying up delegates"
Other speakers were M. B. Butler,
Lincoln Roosevelt candidate for JUS
tice of the peace of Pasadena township,
and w. C. Snyder of Los Angeles. Sew
eral testimonials were offered for John
Perry Wood, city attorney of Pasadena

Mr.. Wood in recognition of effective
work done for the city in various liti-
cations against corporations.

was expressed at the meeting in i'm
promptu speeches. P. w. Cartwright,
who presided, stated that twenty-four
Civil War veterans with whom he was
talking yesterday took a straw vote
and twenty three Of them were for w.

WOMAN FIGHTS EAGLE
TO SAVE FELINE PET
Giant Bird Scratches Face of a
Camper and Escapes Gun

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 13-To
save the life of her pet cat, Mrs. Jen-
ME Monroe, a summer camper in
Lytle Creek, battled with a huge
American eagle this morning, and as
the result is badly scratched about
the face, where the bird sank its
talonS.
Mrs Monroe rushed to the back
yard of her summer home in the hills
when she heard her cat crying. Think
ing that the dog of hunter had cor
nered her pet, she rushed out with a
broom. She was startled by the sight
of a great eagle about to snatch the
frightened pussy from the ground. She
ran forward, but quick as a flash the
big bird transferred its attack to her.
1t swooped down at her and threw
her off her feet with blows from its
powerful wings. 1t then clawed at
her face.
Mrs. Monroe recovered her feet in
time to prevent the bird from continu-
inS its attack on the cat, and with
a mighty swing she struck it with
the broom. The blow dazed the bird,
but it soon flew away slowly. The wo-
man ran to the house and secured a
shotgun, but the eagle was then too
far away,

VALUABLES STOLEN FROM
BENEATH SLEEPING WOMEN

PASADENA Aug. 14.-Two burgla-
ries were reported to the Pasadena po-
lice yesterday Mrs. j. B. Canes of
South Pasadena complains that the
soda pop stand conducted by her son
at Orange Grove avenue and California
street was broken into Friday night
and some of the wet goods stolen. The
visitors also poured formaldehyde into
a freezer of ice cream. Boys residing
on the south side are suspected.
William G. Carrier, conductor on the
Pacific Electric railway, reports that
burglars entered his home, POS South
Pasadena avenue. sometime between
1:3O and 4 o'clock yesterday morning
and stole $50 and a gold watch from
under a mattress upon which two wom-
en- were sleeping. He thinks pass
key was used to gain admittance, and
admits his inability to understand how
the thief could extract the valuables
from the mattress without waking the
sleepers. He had complained to the
police before OF prowlers.

REVIVE AGITATION FOR
LINCOLN AVENUE LINE
Believe Road Would Be Entering
Wedge for Municipal
Railway System

PASADENA, Aug. 14.-Residents of
North Pasadena are reviving the agi-
tation for an electric railway out Lin
coin avenue, which, it is claimed, VIII
be an entering wedge for municipal
street car line in Pasadena if the plans
of the protomers are carried out. 1t
is said that ''juice" could be furnished
by the municipal light plant and thus
insure the perpetuity of the plant, for
which an active campaign has been
waged during the past two months.
William Easterl cook, who presented
the street railway plan to the city
council some time ago, said last even
ing:
"The residents of the northwest sec
tion are in earnest in this matter, and
we believe the council should at least
favor our plans with a thorough inves-
tigation. MIR. Huntington asked S45,-
900 bonus to build a line out Lincoln
avenue. We have held several meet
ings at which the question was dis
cussed, and we finally decided to raise
$4,000 by subscription with which to
build a line and purchase two second
hand cars, which would suffice for
some time to come. We would turn
the tracks and the cars over to the
city if the council will agree to OPP
crate the road.
"This would form nucleus for
municipal street car system. Accord
ing to law we could run over the Pa
cific Electric tracks for four blocks in
order to reach the heart of the city.
AS fast as Pacific Electric franchises
expire in other parts of the city the
