The following analysis of the New York
market situation was received yesterday
by w. b. Hobs & Co. from Logan &
Bryan. their New York correspondents
After an early frmnes, induced in
large part by short covering as a conse-
Quence of forecasts to the effect that the
British response to the German proffer
would be rejected. in a firm manner and
without an opening for further parley,
the list became distinctly weak, with
liquidation being conducted on a heavy
scale. As Is usually the case. however,
in matters OF that sort. broad analysis
OF the salient points of the entire utter
ance revealed rather distinctly that an
opportunity will be afforded Berlin Of
stating its position in more exact terms,
which, OF course, accelerated the liqui-
dating movement in the stock market,
for the reason that the more talk that Is
passed back and forth would seem to
bring the various contending elements just
that much nearer to an understanding
of a sort that may make it probable for
both sides, with dignity and the proper
respect for the principles which actuate
their motives. to engage in a parley of a
sort that may permit the world to per-
ceive that it is deCisively on the road to
a more peaceable state of affairs.
Washington so far has been reticent,
but it is not unlikely that something
will now be forthcoming from that quar-
ter. and with attention again focused
on Berlin, we fancy that the stock market
will take heed in active fashion Of the
gradually changing tendencies and at
tempt to anticipate coming events in Eu-
rope"

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Cmcago, Dec. ls.-The speculative wheat traders
waited long and patiently for Lloyd Georges speech
aDo they construed 1t on the whole as warlike in
tone. Considerable attention was given 10 the SEN
suonal price uptun at Winnipeg early in the ses-
sIcn and it was the signal for heavy buying in the
Chicago pit.
Ife:e was a possibility that the tenor Of the
speech was tipped off to the grain trade in the
metropolis Of the country north Of US and that its
tcror caused many shorts to cover. as well as longs
to add to their holdings at Chicago. Oosings were
at net advances OF ka3sc for the deferred montss.
while the December future was of NC. These con-
ditionS were probably the result of the lack OF
buying Of the cash article as only 5000 bushels ex-
changed hands at Chicago
The seaboard reported some cash business there
carly in the day, but there was no amount sped-
aed. On the early uptun In the Chicago market

cific railway, had resulted in the Ca
madam Pacific and the Minneapolis,

Mr.. Corbin and his associates
Price Is Satisfactory.
When asked the price for which the
road was sold. Mr.. Corbin said:
II think the price is satisfactory to
both the sellers and the purchasers,
and do not feel that 1t would interest
the public"
The actual bonded indebtedness of
the road, including the Occur d'Alene
and the Pend Oreille brnch, is $4,744,-
600. and the outstanding stock is
$4,200,000. There is no stock issued
on the branch lines. This bonded in
debtedness, $4,744.000, represents the
cost Of the road, equipment, terminals,
shops and roundhouses. The main line
is 1908 miles long, and the two branch
lines % miles.
