Michael Saks, theater manager. appealed to the supreme court for an injunction to free him forever from Samuel Mendelson. his drummer, whom he said was Good in the old fash toned operettas," but "cannot go to town" with the fast-stepping score of Sak's productions.
 The injunction would enjoin the American Federation of Musicians Local SOP from interfering with Sak's removal of the drummer. Mendelson handled the drums in two previous productions, Three In Love-" and "Once Upon a Time" The indignant producer said "The music was a failure
 "He cannot fulfill the bill" Saks complained. You know. there are all kinds of players-first class. second class, and seventeenth class"
 Saks said the drum was the least important of the modern drum mer's equipment. In addition, he must manipulate base drum. a foot cymbal, hand cymbal, chimes. gongs, tympani whistles ard wind effects. If the drummer is really first class he will double" in few more gadgets. including wood blocks! castinets, tambourines and a triangle.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 14.- (UP) was blanketed under a heavy fall of snow today. and the low temperature indicated the ground would remain covered.

 The rowing Style taught by Glen don was regarded as the most dis tinctive in this e-untry. The stroke has far more swing than any other style. The finish of the stroke finds the men lying nearly on their backs. Old Man Glendon invented the stroke, and the son adopted it.. One of ,Glendons greatest claims to rowing fame was his knowledge of rigging the fraii, eight -oarea boats.

 Paper is rather slow and the market is weak. Production of shoe factories has been increased and all sections are getting a larger volume of orders. Hides are sell- ing moderately we'll at steady prices.
 "The demand for pig iron is light and local supplies are being delivered from stock as the local furnace has been closed down for some time.

Small Gains Showed
 With SeDernL Groups
Volume Not Much Different From Yesterday Weak
 ness in TObaccos Was Feature

New York, Dec. 14.-(UP).-The stock market today made small gains on the average although a few groups and special issues were under yesterdays close. More cautious dealings weke noted as the year drew to a close and volume was not much different from yes- terday's 1,330,000 shares.
 Weakness in tobaccos was fea- ture in the late dealings. American Tobacco dropped points and oth- CTS of the group were down propor- tionately. The group was influenced by indications of a drop of 12 per cent in cigarette output for Noven- Der as compared with the corre- spending month a year ago. Out put for the II months of 1883, however, is still above 1892.
 Homestake Mining made the widest gain-6 7-8 points to 315- aided by rise in foreign exchange against the dollar. As the pound sterling rose the London gold price narrowed the gap between it and the R. F. c. quote of $34.01 which has been netained now for about two weeks. Other gold mining is- sues. were firm and silver issues also improved along with silver metal. Silver bars, rose 3-4 cent in New York.
 Chemical shares made the best group showing. Allied hit 152 up 5 S-4 points for the first time since 1881, while Du Pont approached it's high, touching 92 IA up S-4 points.
 Railroad equipments met better fnV Ia nr- ders from railroads. Pullman rose noted for AmeFican Car & Foundry issues and Baldwin.
 Communications performed fair. ly well in the early trading but dipped later. Wall Street analysts said International Telephone would profit most from a communications merger involving all lines, while the Bell System would profit least. In ternational made a new high on the movement at 15 up IA point and then eased off. American Tele- phone, selling ex-dividend. dipped more than a point. Postal Tele- graph preferred and postal bonds were in demand most of the day. Western Union sold off nearly 2 points on the day.
 Case rose points despite irreg- llarity in the grain market. J. C. Penny made new top for the year in its division,s and new 1888 highs also were noted in Continental Can and Moto Meter.
 Automobile issues were bid up and were fairy active. They were aided somewhat by an estimate of 1893 output made by the Automo- bile Chamber of Commerce. That estimate placed the years produc- ton at 2,040,000 units, gain of AZ per cent over 1882. Auburn made the best gain, reaching 5SH up 4 points. Chrysler gained more than point and General Motors a fraction.
 Utilities ruled steady to firm throughout the session. Rails made small gains on the general list while Norfolk & Western spurted .2 points. Pennsylvania was pop ular among investors on outlook for an increased dividend. It reached 31a as up 1 E and held most of the gain.
 Oils were quiet but firm. Stand ard of New Jersey rose 7s to 47. United States Steel ranged be- tween 47A and ,4S% and closed at 47% up ss. from the previous close. Others steels were around the previous close.

WOOL MARKET
