New york Stock Market

Wall st. New York. Dec. 12-STOCKS-
Further extreme weakness in Union Pa
cific was the feature of the early trading
in the stock market today Closing yes
terday at 155, the stock declined in the
first half hour to Isl on extra ordinary
heavy offerings. The excitement on the
exchange especially around the Union
Pacific pit was intense. The stock tick
ers were from one to two minutes behind
in recording quotations.
The rest of the list also was unsettled
with heavy decline in Canadian Pacific
and marked weakness in other leaders.
Stocks recovered to 8 points before
the end of the first hour and the heavy
selling ceased but the undertone became
hesitant.
Much of the early selling was attribut-
ed to out of town sources, this applying
especially to Amalgamated Copper and
Reading. The recovery in Union Pacific
reuslted from large supporting orders.
Banks and trust companies again called
loans which were somewhat impaired by
the further shrinkage of prices.
Movements of stocks were again feverish
when trading was resumed today. The
tone was distinctly heavy. Union Pacific,
about which chief interest conferred, open
ed zoff, rose " and then fell back rs to
1875, within Il of yesterdays low price.
Steel was steadier, losing Us on the In
itial transaction of 1000 shares. There
was a pronounced weakness in Reading
which fell back 21R points to 1914 in the
first few minutes. Canadian Pacific dror-
ped 3A, American Tobacco 2 and Anal
mated 1ss.
After an interval of nervous fluctuation
in which prices Vibrated from to 2 points
the list again took an abrupt plunge
downward.
Union Pacific sold at 1904 the lowest
since 1905 Reading, Amalgamated, sme.t-
ing and Canadian Pacific all sold below
yesterdays lowest. The effect of this
liquidation on the general market was not
so pronounced as yesterday and there
were substantial rallies when support ap-
peared. Union Pacific rallied points,
Reading 2 and Steel and Amalgamated
115.

of the pipe organ committee, and ].
will Kelley, secretary of the club;
''On next Saturday night, December
IA, the Neapoiitans, very high class
organizati will give an entertain
ment at the Auditorium under the aus
piceS of the pipe organ committee. This
is an entertainment that ordinarily
would cost from so cents to $1.O0 ad-
mission, but in keeping with its past
performance the committee have de-
cided to charge only. twenty-five cents
admission for adults and fifteen cents
for children under twelve years of age.
This is an opportunity to hear one of
the high class musical organizations of
the country at popular prices. We
hope that you will not only go yourself
but that you will tell others about this
entertainment and that you will help us
have a representative audience on this
night to greet these performers.
I'VE unhesitatingly say that the en-
tertainment is of the very highest class
and is deserving of liberal patronage,
aside from the fact that the profits, if
any, go to help pay the pipe organ
