New York Stock Market.

Wall St, New York, Dec. I.-STOCKS-
Todays stock market during the first
trading presented decided contrast to
that of the last ten days of activity and
falling prices. The urgent liquidation
movement seemed to have exhausted itself
and quotations were generally higher, but
bullish traders had not recovered their
confidence and hesitated to take a def
mite position. Money rates, continued to
soften, loans being made as low as Az
per cent. Bear operators encountered
more formidable opposition when they at
tackled prices. The market began to lose
ground again shortly before noon with
moderate selling on the decline.
Bonds were irregular.
Stocks were in brief demand at the open
ing of the market today and first prices
showed gains generally. United States
Steel opened with a block or 1900 shares
at 65% to 661s. compared with 652z at yes
terday's close. Reading, Union Pacific
and Canadian Pacific rose point each.
The market was undermined directly
after the opening by savage bear attacks
which soon forced prices below yester-
days close New buying orders were de-
uvered and the market rose to- level
higher than before. Southern Pacific was
conspicuously strong, touching 110ss.
The market closed steady. A renewed
assault on Union Pacific depressed it to
1885 and caused another downward dip
in the market but in only few isolated
instances did prices go lower than prev
iously Hurried support was again ex-
tended and there were quick rallies of 11a
to 31h with general speculation showing
considerable feverishnesS.

Harness Our Nebraska Rivers

I IUQUESTIONABLY the
" greatest factor in the
future development of
Nebraska is the proper
utilization Of the water
power, which is now 60
ing to waste.
Nebraska Is far from
being the manufacturing
state that it should be,
and the fault alone lies
in the fact that the pres-
ent cost Of power makes
it almost prohibitive. So
long as Nebraska is de.
pendent upon coal for the
manufacturing of power
just so long will this
state remain far in ar
rears of all other manu-
featuring states.
Harness the rivers, and
Omaha daily bee., 1912-10-20

let there be three or four central power
plants and manufacturing industries of various
kinds will spring up all over the state.
Cheap power means more interirban RAILWAYS
and more interurban railways mean greater
business ana the stimulation of industries
