The Markets
MARKET
REMAINED WEAK
Indications Are That It Has
Fallen Into a Slough of
Dependency

New York. Dec. 8-Movements of
prices on h stock exchange today so
nearly duplicated those of the previous
days of the week hat the market ap-
peared to nave fallen deep into a rut.
The undertone was heavy and some is
sues were decidedly weak. Toward
the close the bears repeated their tao
ing the session to an end with a sharp
attack which depressed prices general
ly.
Among the active stocks Union Pa
cifc, Reading, Lehigh Valley and
Amalgamated Copper were forced a
point or more below the previous days
close.
Another factor which was taken into
consideration was the probable effect
of January 1 financial settlements in
restricting buying on a large scale.
maintenance of the call money rate
at the higher figures, which have pre-
vailed since the beginning Of the week
was regarded as an important factor
IN governing. trading. Interests which
nave been committed to the bull side
construed the firmness of the money
market as pointing to a l%essening OF
accommodations, which in itself prob
. led to some liquidation Of specu-
lative accounts.
The ruling rate for call funds was
4 l-2 per cent. although some loans
were placed at as high a rate as s 1-2
per cent. Time money also was firm
er with q strong demand for all matur-
tiles. The rates for sixty and ninety
days equalled the highest rates of a
year ago this month. while call mon:
ey did not rise above 3 1-2 per cent
in December of 1910 until the last
week of the month, when 1t touched z
per cent
Further selling Of inactive indus
trials such as has been in progress for
several days resulted in some substan-
tial losses. Poor trade conditions dur
Ing the past year low prices of steel
and u~nfavorable financial statements
nave given rise to reports hat reor-
ganizatton OF several companies is not
unlikely.
After Allis-C Chalmers preferred had
established another low record today
by declining to seven, 1t became known
that the first step had been taken
looking to a possible reorganization.
The five per cent bonds rose more
than two points. Federal Mining reg
istered a further loss and American
Can preferred relapsed after its rise
OF yesterday. Among the railroads.,
the decline in the Wabash securities
continued, both the stocks and bonds

the home of Mrs. e. F. Weston, near
the corner of Twelfth street and

WICHITA PREACHER
TOLD OF SUNDAY
REV. w M. IRWIN or WICHITA,
kANs,, ADDRESSED LARGE Au-
DlENcE LAST NIGHT AT FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH AND TOLD
ABOUT BILLY SUNDAYS WORK.

Rev. Walter M. Irwin of wichita,
Kans., gave another one of his talks
on the work of Rev. Billy Sunday last
night at the First Baptist church be-
fore large audience which gathered
to hear him tell OF the wonders Of the
baseball evangelist who is headed to-
ward Fargo next spring. Rev. Mr..
Sunday is now in Wichita and Rev.
Mr.. Irwin has had a chance to see
clearly just what Mr.. Sunday can do
In the way OF making conversions.
The meeting was presided over by
President Creegan Of Fargo college.
who introduced a number of speakers
during the evening. Dr. Creegan re-
called to his audience the fact that
about year ago he had been sent as
one of committee OF three to Water
loo, Ia, when the evangelist was con-
Quoting his meetings in that city. In
his opening remarks he stated that
he had said on his return home at
that time that he would not recon-
mend Rev. Mr.. Sunday as a theologian
or rhetorical professor for his col
lege, but he would recommend him
because of the work he thought could
be done here in Fargo through Mr..
Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Irwin again told of +he
marvellous work Of the evangelist in
his home city and of the number of
conversions he was making down there
in the southwest. He emphasized tile
point that had been made against the
baseball player in that it was stated
he was in this game for the money"
and sundry other remarks. which Mr..
Irwin declared one only need see him
work to disabuse ones mind of such
rumors. He told of the tabernacle
built In Wichita and of the manner
in which the money was guaranteed
and not subscribed and that not
cent had been pledged to Billy Sum
day before he came to their city. He
stated that over $1,000 had been rails
ed to cover the expense of the under
taking and that last Sunday 800 men
had been converted.
The next speaker was H. F. Emery,
the city assessor, who made a report
from the finance committee. Mr..
Emery's remarks were brief but to the
point and very enthusiastic. He felt
that such a campaign was what this
city needed and further explained the
financial end of the undertaking.
Stewart Wilson was the final speak
er of the evening and he presented
report from the apportionment COM
mittee which has in charge the guar
antee fund among the different bodies
who are to take part in raising this
guarantee. A number of the churches
in the city have not yet been heard
from, hence the omission Of their
names from the list. The apportion-
ment report is as follows:

 This was a brand new one on the Examiner mxn. because really we didn't know that there were mer in Yuma with little enough sense to make a barber shop their loafine place And yet every barber in Yuma tells us that it is true.

ARE THE PEOPLE RADICAL SOME PLAIN TALK.

There is a great GeaI Q. signif. cance in the emphatic statement of T'f sident Taft before the legislature
 oi Ohio last Saturday. when the
 president was discussing Canadian reciprocity The plain warning giv- en the members Of the legislature was no doubt intended for the whole country. or whoever it might con cern. If the big protected interests insist upon keeping their excessive protection in these days Of rising food prices and growing scarcity of products, opposition win be aroused that will know no stopping.
 The president deserves thanks for not only stating the truth in a specific case, but in giving the cue for some very plain discuss-on O. the growing tendency toward rad icalism noted in spots over the coun- try. So far as Canadian reciprocity Is concerned. the president is hon est in his sndeavor to give the coun- try some measure of relief from high cost of living. and from every economic standpoint he is right. When he states that the fear of Canadian competition for our farm CTS has nothing substantial back of it he is correct. Those who are pretending to be so solicitous for the welfare of the American farmer are simply quoting scripture for their purpose, and using the only weapon at hand, stuffed club though it be, in an effort to ward of a re- duction of their extortionate protec- ton. And the pity of it is tha, the average farmer, instead of study az the economic side of the sub feet, and thus seeking the truth for
