SHARP SETBACK
IN WHEAT PRICES
Corn and Oats Also Lower
as Weeks Trading Opens
in Grain Pit.
By the Associated Press.

IHe AbbOClhteO TIess
CHICAGO, December 22.-Heavy
selling led by house which had
recently been a large buyer brought
about a sharp setback in wheat
prices today soon after business be
gan. The selling was based more or
less on opinion current that advances
of late had beep~too rapid, and that
something of a reaction was overdue.
1t was pointed out that the advancing
trend had lasted six months and that
the total upturn amounted to about
so cents a bushel Today's opening,
which varied from unchanged figures
to Il cent higher. with May 175&
to 176A and July $50 to 150k, was
followed by a break that in some
cases amounting TO q cents from the
initial top price.
Persistent selling on the part OF
commission houses weakened corn
and oats. After opening unchanged
to q cents off, May 1877 to 12S, the
corn market underwent general
decline of about 1a cent.
Oats started unchanged to 70 low
er May 63h to 63%, and later showed
moderate losses all around.
Provisions were easier, sympathiz-

BONDS UNSETTLED
IN TRADING TODAY
Profit Taking and Selling in
Stocks Cause of Small
Declines.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 22-Specu-
lative securities continued to absorb
the attention of bond traders to the
neglect OF investments. The United
States Government list was steady,
but that was about all The fourth
AZ Libertys were shade higher and
the new Treasury 4s a shade lower
which changes we're without signifi-
canoe. In the first mortgage rails
losses were more numerous than
gains, but neither were large.
So far there has been no anticipa
ton of the traditional January rein
vestment demand. Bond dealers. how
ever, are confident that the marke t
will do better after the first of the
year.
Foreign Bonds Lower.
In the foreign group the recently
offered Belgian 6s and Greek rs We're
down substantially from the high
points reached just after trading was
begun IN them. The Belgian bonds
sold at the syndicate price or slight
ly above. The Greek issue command
ed a premium of a high point or more
over the offering price. OF the French
issues Nord Railway 6ks 8 were lower,
as were Paris, Lyon and Mediterran
can iS FTeHcn rs anu oS anu frenC1
Cities IS were supported around
Saturdays closing prices.
Copper bonds were heavy, Ana
conda Is showing the effect of the
competition of the new offering of
Andes Copper Is. The latter are de-
benture obligations of a subsidiary
of the Anaconda and were offered to
the amount of s40,000000 at par.
Chile Copper IS sold down below los.
Magma Copper Is crossed 120. Sugar
bonds were easier. especially East
ern Cuba Sugar 71zs and Punta Ale
gre Sugar 7s.
Rails Down Slightly
Speculative rails were generally
down slightly. This was the case
with Seaboard Air Line adjustments
below rs and I. G. n. adjustments
below 79. New York, West Chester
and Boston 411s at one time were a
full point down from Saturday S
close.
Todays new issues included $500 600
Southern Gas and Power one-year 6

SHARP REACTIONS
IN MANY STOCKS
Belief Rise May Have Gone
Much FartheE Than Trade
Gains Warrant.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, December 22.--With
very few exceptions stocks were
weak today. Prices slipped off easily
AEd spectators, many of them, were
confronted with the unpleasant sit
uation of diminishing paper profits.
The feeling was that the market
needed another substantial check for
reasons regardless of improving bust
ness on the outside 1t could retraCe
much of the ground recently gained
and still he well ahead of the trade
movement.
stop Loss Uncovered.
AS stocks declined many stop-loss
orders were uncovered, and support
was lacking. The points of strength
stood out because there were so few
of them. General Electric was the most
conspicuous.
Railway shares we're quite as much
affected by the decline as the indus
trials. Lehigh Valley was off more
than points from last weeks high.
Baltimore and Ohio more than 6
points and Wabash more than 4
points. Northern Pacific, which had
sold s high as rs. was freely offered
around TO Supply of st. Paul pre-
ferred in the neighborhood of % was
plentiful. Atchison around III was

feeling being that it had more than
discounted per cent dividend and
that an 8 per cent declaration was
dubious.
Some Sharp Reactions,
There was a sharp reaction in
Reading and Southern Pacific. The Pan
Americans came down point to .
points. Pure Oil was off nearly points
from it's top, and there was such an
abundant amount offered around cur
rent prices in stocks like Phillips Pc
troleum, Pacific Oil. Texas Company and
Sinclair as to completely discourage
further experiments on the long side.
Steel common, which had sold as
high as 1898 last week, dropped
below 11S again. The independent
steels. like Bethlehem, Republic and
Crucible. were off a point to points
Baldwin Locomotive went down
easily, and so did American Can How
far the recent jump in American

In that stock.
Motors Sell Lower.
The motor group went with the
rest. Studebaker showed plainly that
operations for the rise had been
checked. Pierce Arrow preferred

recent high. Dupont was down sharp

abruptly.

WALTERCLARK, HUMANE JURIST, PASSES

WASHINGTON June 5.-The death of Hon. Walter
Clark chief justice of the North Carolina state supreme
court, marks the passing of humane jurist and man
who was not deceived by the sophistries of the day.
This was shown in remarkable decision by him as
umpire for the national labor board The board
dered the Wheeling mold and foundry company apply
the eghthour day. The company asked that the case
be eopened and the matter referred to Justice Clark
acting arbiter.
In uphodng the boards ruling the urist opposed the
system of working long hours with time after eight
hours unless in of emergency These should be
decided by employers and employees
de said was true that both employers and employees
nave done their best to aid the in the prosecu
crease in profit"
The latter empoyes) has contributed an increase in
the hours OF labor and vast numbers of fill our
armies, said Justice Clark 1.-The former have received
from the government the latter have given to it. They
should not be asked to do beyond the necessity of the
occasion"
The decision includes one of the best short deenses
of the elghthour day that has been written
1t is better that the machinery should be worn out
than the bodies of employees said the juris MAN passes
through this world but once and he is entitled in the
language of the great Declaration ito some enjoyment of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
In answer to the claim that the ninehour day was the
rule in Wheeling Justice Clark said:
All oetterment has come by improving conditions and
not continuing them when bad Improved conditions is
the object of this proceeding.
That the country has not vet reached the eight hor
day in all cases is why in this case it should not
be applied"
Justice Clark the state bench 35 years. and
Il years OF that period was chief Justice His decisions
made an impress the nations life during all these
years he in the public eye because of his keen and
temperate analyses OF the weakness and the usupaons of
Justice Clarks outlook is well summarized in his de-
clslon IN the case of Pressly Yarn Mill Obs N c. 42
The law is not fosslnzed It is growth It grows more
just with the growing humanity of the age and broadens
