fiected in the Assay Office deposits. APP

ports unaccounted for. on the other hand,
the banks lost s. 10000 on account OF gold

tions today. but will, OF course. figure for

SENTIMENT BULLISH
IN WHEAT MARKET
Buying of Good Character and
Prices Touched New Top
Marks

CHICAGO, Dec. 4-Bulish sentiment
was nevidence all around the wheat pit
early today and new high records were
again established. The buying was OF a
good character being led by the Armour
Grain Company, A. c. Slaughter e. CO.,
Logan and Byan, and others, while the
selling was limited. and scattered. De-
cember reached a new mark at Sl27i5,
May rose to s1,2sh, also a new top. and
July to $l1sh Some proht-taking caused
reactions OF about two cents from the
top level, but near the close the buying
was again pronounced and fal princes
were 2is to 27s Gets net higher.
Reports of green bugs in south
western wheat fields by the Modern Miller
and other authorities added to the bullish
enthusiasm and evidence of increased
outside interest was shown by the buying
orders of commission houses.
Corn also advanced into new ground in
the forenoon The increased buying was
on the theory that prices were low, as
compared with those for wheat While
the buying was scattered, 1t was for large
amounts and, with limited selling, the
advances were inevitable. Prices followed
those of wheat closely and reacted dur
Ing the middle of the session, but at the
end December was 7s3s, or Il cent under
the highest; while May and July finished
at the highest, at 76al and MS, respec-
lively
There was quite a rush to buy oats
when advances of 1as cents were scored.
The demand was quite general. At the
close December was quoted at 4S9Sc. and
May at 47Ac Sharp upturns were re-
corded in the market for provisions and
covering due to the strength in grain and
the advances In the hog market.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

FRISCO REORGANIZATION
PLAN NOT SATISFACTORY
Three Protective Committees Do Not
Like 1t as Approved

NEW YORK. Dec. 24-The plan of re-
organization for the St. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad Company, as approved
by the Missouri Commission, Is unsatis-
factory to the three protective commit
tees that worked it out. At least two
feaures of the plan in the form in which
Il was presented to the commission, both
of which were rejected by that body,
were regarded by these committees as
highly important. Particular stress was
laid by them upon the voting trusteeship
which is not allowed by the commission
The committee and the bankers as
ISOLATED with them felt that II they be-
came financially responsible for the sue
cess of the plan they should be permitted
to name the directors for a period of
years, during which the new company
would have an opportunity to thoroughly
establish itself.
Inasmuch as members of the three COM
mittees have not received official copies
of the plan as approved by the commits
sion. they were disinclined today to ex-
press an opinion regarding 1t, or as to
what they would probably do next. There
is excellent reason for believing. how
ever that for several weeks they have
had In mind what they would do. and
what they We're confident they could do.
IN the event of the decision of the COM
mission not being satisfactory.

Christmas festivities occupied the chief
place in the minds of the traders on the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange today, and
after the noon hour business on the floor
fell to nominal proportions, while Yule-
tide spirits were permitted TO flow unre-
strainedly. The usual rules were suspend
ed and the floor was given over to the
first real jollifcation the brokers have
enjoyed in several seasons
During the early hours the local trac-
tion stocks were taken in hand and given
an upward whirl. Rapid Transit became
quite active on buying by houses gener-
ally credited with political affiliations.
On the other hand, Buffalo and Susque-
hanna reacted couple of points.
Philadelphia Electric was in moderate
demand. Cambria Steel fluctuated with

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK. Dec. 24-The coffee mar
ket opened quiet and unchanged to 4
points higher. with sales of 500 bags on
the call.
A preholiday spirit prevailed in the
coffee market, and in the absence of
more than very limited interest price
changes were extremely narrow ana the
market was largely nominal. There was
some disposition to sell the near months
and buy the late options, and these OPP
erations are resulting in a gradual
widening OF differences. Offers from
Brazil received yesterday were not ma
terially changed, but while Brazil Is not
pressing coffee here. 1t seemed to be the
general impression that shippers would
be willing 10 accept reasonable bids.
The market at Rio was unchanged at five
$3.50 for No. 7, exchange was unchanged
at l21sd.. the receipts were 1000 bags
and stock was $4,000 bags. Santos un-
changed at five $500 for No. 4; the receipts
were 5000 bags. and stock 226,OOO bags.
