NEW YORK, January 9.-There was
only small demand for stocks at the

barely changed. The only fuctuation~ of
more than a fraction was an advance of

Sentiment was more cheerful and there
a confident absorption of various
specialties. Railroad issues were quiet
but fractionally better.
Standard Stocks Rise.
The success with which manipulated
issues We're marked up encouraged more
general buying of standard stocks. and
by noon large number of issues We're
quoted from one to three points above

large bonds and note issues were regard
ed as evidence of confidence. BONDS

Individual stocks crept up to higher
level but the general market rested after
the forenoon jump and prices scarcely
moved more than one-eighth either way.

Heaviness of Southern Pacific and the
subsistence of the general demand in

London. Nov. 2j.-The curtain was
rung down yesterday on the great 5000, :
600 necklace mystery and four men
charged with the robbery were sent
TO prison three of them for long terms

the time and manner OF its execution
remain "a great a mystery as ever,

The following were the sentences on
the prisoners: James Lockett. jeweller,

chant. seven years at penal servitude;
Simon Silverman, a commission agent,
five years at penal servitude. and
for deportation; Leisir

After the court closed Max Meyer

Der of fashionable women who had

rad been restored to a push-lined case
and looked really magnificent. They
were then safely packed into leather
bag and MIR. Meyer took them away.

PRENDERGAST NAY
JOIN REPUBLICANS
Controller Ready to Return to
Ranks of His Old Party, Is
Report of Friends.

William A. Prendergast, Controller
Of the City OF New York, who left the
Republican party last year to enroll in
the Bull Moose organization. is ex-
pected to rejoin the Republican ranks.
Mr.. Prendergast at present is in Paris
on a vacation. From several Of his
friends in Brooklyn. it was learned last
night. however that Mr.. Prendergast
will make an announcement Of his
change in politics upon his return.
There are several things, Mr.. Prem
dergasts friends said, which bear out
their assertion. When the leadership
Of the Progressive party in Brooklyn.
the post left vacant by the death Of
Timothy l.. Woodruff. was offered him
recently, Mr.. Prendergast refused to
accept Instead Of enrolling this fall
in the Bull Moose ranks, 1t was de-
cIared last night he turned in blank
sheet. Another thing OF significance,
said Mr. Prendergast's friends, was the
fact that his secretary. George Tirrell,
who left the Republican party with
Mr.. PrendeTgast re-enrolled with the
Republicans this fall.
A few weeks ago, when several en-
ployes were discharged from the Con-
troller's Office, the greater number Of
them were Progressives from Brooklyn.
In other ways, ii was said last night,
MIR. Prendergast had shown a decided
coolness toward his adopted party, and
that il was a certainty he had quit the
Progressives for good.
