Miss Methuselah
Is Some Chicken,
And Fred Knows

The oldest chicken in Nebraska
eats, sleeps and lays eggs in the coop
of Fred Anost, 90+ South Thirty fifth
street. Fred says that Miss Methusc-
lab (the ancient bird) was born of
reputable White Leghorn family on
May %, 1907, which proves that, in
poultry parlance, she is no chicken.
Fred, however, says that Miss
Methuselah has outgrown her
youthful follies and now tends strictly
to business. Outside of little touch
of rheumatism, which hits her be-
tween seasons, she's healthy bird.
Her descendants are legion.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Dealings Barely Reach Six
Hundred Thousand
Shares.
TRADING IS PROFESSIONAL

New York, Jan. s.--The main feature of
'oday's stock market was its consistent
dizziness, dealings barely reaching 500, 900
shares, the smallest total of any full session
for many weeks. Virtually all the trading
emanated from professional sources and
so far as was indicated by the movement
OF prices that faction was more or less
at sea.
There was considerable discussion respect
ing business conditions and prospects as
suggested by advices over the weekend
ana the note of caution sounded by the
chief executive of the United States Steel
corporation was reflected in the uncertain
trnde OF Industrial stocks. The investiga-
tion now proceeding at Washington excited
little attention except In speculative circles
from Its firm opening the list soon began
TO droop and by the end of the first hour
most leaders, including United States Steel
were down to points. These losses were
irregularly extended later, particularly in
the volatile specalties such as General
Motors. which registered an extreme decline
OF l3& points after announcement of the
l per cent dividend, recovering over half
before the close.
Other heavy issues included Baldwin To-
connective, Cuba Cane Sugar, Texas com
pany, Industrial Alcohol and Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies, Metals also yielded on
the reactionary trend of the copper market
ana leather and paper issues gave way on
small transactions,
More steadiness was shown in the last
hour, when steel made up all its losses and
Atchlson infused some strength to rails on
It's rise of II points. In the main, how
ever, transportation shares were decidedly
irregular, with occasional heaviness in
Canadian Pacific and New Haven.
Among the dormant specialties Wool
worth was conspicuous for Its gain of
points and Pittsburgh Coal was active and
strong, rising more than points on reports
or stock rcadjustmcnt favorable TO the
common shareholders.
Sterling was stabilized by additional gold
Imports, but marks were weak and Tires
and rubles small fraction lower.
Bond offerings were light but more diver
sihed with recoveries in local traction is
sues. Total sales, par value, $4,325, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on

Sheep-The largest Monday sheep and
lamb run here since five weeks ago was
offered this morning. seventy-seven cars, or
some $4,000 head. being reported In. This
IL far larger than the holiday run a week
ago and is slightly heavier than for the
corresponding day last year.
The fat lamb market was another OF tho
slow Affairs that were so common last
week, Local receipts were liberal. the
largest on the map In fact though be-
tween a fourth and third OF the run was
OF feeders, and Kansas City had a generous
supply, but outside these two points runs
were moderate all around the loop. Pack
crs tried to use the big supply hero as
club to enforce 10000 reductions, but sell
ers held for steady prices and In the
end packers raised their hands, buying the
bulk OF the offerings in last weeks notches.
II was largely a $i3.o0@l3.25 AFFAIR for the
decent TO best lambs. While little sold un-
III II o'clock or after. pretty nearly every
thing had changed hands by lunch time,
movement being fairly active after a trad
ing basis had been agreed on. No clipped
lambs were offered.
The liberal feeder run was the FIRST one
of any size that has been here In some
lime. Close TO twenty-five cars OF feeding
and shearing lambs were on offer. but
buyers uncovered some big orders and the
result was that the supply moved in
higher than last week. couple of big
strings sold at 1870 and other landed at
si2.55 while as high as sl2.75 was paid
for one four-load band.
