PRICES HOLD ILL
Local Wheat Market Not Af
fected by Dro'p East.
SUPPLY IN STRONG. HANDS
Oats and Barley Firm With a Good
Local and California Demand.
Active Trade In Pro
duce Lines.
The protracted Plump In the Eastern
s,heat markets and the decline in prices
abroad has had no effect whatever on the
wheat market here. With but little of the
crop left and every likelihood that It will
be dlpoeed of at sond prices, holder see
no cause for alarm end are not going to
pacrlfice their holdings. 'While local trade
Is not of large volume, as Is to be expected
with supplies so light, the demand that
exists Is still at the values that were cur
rent before prlcea elsewhere went off. The
J luestem that Is left is in very strong
hands and It Is doubtful whether any choice
Ir.ts could be had under 8 L It Is questioned
whether bids of 1 even would dislodge any
ronslder&ble .Quantity. So far as known,
however, no sales at this price have yet
been msde on this market, and while prices
quoted by buyers around PT cents, the quo-,
tattoni la almost wholly nominal.
The movement of barhey to California
keeps the local market In a stronc posi
tion. Feed barley was quoted yesterday at
126.7.-,.
Oats were also firm, with m verv jfood
local demand and a fair Inquiry from Cal
l:omla offerings are growing lighter.

CALIFORNIA CELERY CROP SHORT.
Acreage Only Ahoat Half of Former feat
sons Cutting; Is Late.
A short and late crop of celery la reported
by the California Vegetable Union, which.
1n a circular from the Los Angeles office,
says:
Most unusual conditions prevail In the cel
ery fields of both Northern and Southern
California, with the heaviest demand ever
known for California celery. The unusual
dcmicd applle to even local and Coast mar
Veo". which usually do not begin to draw on
us for -a supply until about the first of the
year. The Los Angeles market alone Is con
suming ten cars a week from Orange County,
an unheard-of condition.
The celery crop, as a whole, is maturing
very slowly, although planted at the usual
time. Many of the largest and best growers
have not a yet begun to cut celery, and It
will be at least the flnrt of the year before
shipments are anything like normal, but at
so time will the weekly shipments this sea
son correspond with the weekly shipment of
a similar period In pat years, as the acreage
Is about half of former season.
After a careful canvass of the celery fields
of Northern and Southern California, we find
not over 125 cars for shipment next week and
fw to 60 cars for the week following, which
".ears a shortage of at least V per cent.' as
4v should have at least UO cars for shipment
(luring these two week.
condition of the KeO market.
"tfleiBe of Opinion In the Front-Street
Trade.
There was aorura difference of opinion
L' wn on Front street yesterday as to the
I nndttlon of the egg market. One or two
'dealers reported the market easier and
quoted cwegons at suv- cems "
other quarters It was declared the position
was stronger than ever and 45 centa was
asked -for candled stock. There were also
reports of still higher prices being paid
f ir eggs that were guaranteed as absolute
ly fresh. The advocates for lower prices
made much capital out of the decline at
Seattle, but nothing was heard from these
same people, a short time ago when the
Seattle market went up. Local receipts
continue very light.
There wa a good all around demand for
poultry yesterday and full prices were real
ized on chickens and ducks. Jobber are now
engaged In collecting data a to the prob
able size of the Christmas turkey supply.
There Is considerable Inquiry from the
orth and dealers In that section have an
nounced that If they cannot get assurance
of enough turkeys from Oregon, they will
place order In the East.
There were no new development In the
' butter or eheese markets.
"1.0CAI. ORANGE PRICES WILL ADVANCE.
' California Market Higher Because of the
Holiday Demand.
The orange market Is firmer. Price
. have advanoed lO'fcSS cents in California, be-
cause of the holiday demand, and local quo
i tatlons will be higher next week. Good sixes
sold on the street yesterday at 12.75, and

Local apple stocks were Increased by the
Sirrlral of several large shipments of loose
apples, which moved around 656 70 centa

Prlcea Current Locally on Cattle, Sheep and
Hog.
With the local supply of livestock under
the requirements of the trade, the market
yesterday was firm on all linen, though the
prices quoted were unchanged from those of
the previous day. Hogs, which for some time
past have been plentiful and not particularly
acttvs. have Improved In tone under a bet
ter demand. Fancy cattle would bring a
premium over the quotations, but then there
4b not much coming In now that could be
graded as such. There is an upward ten
dency In the sheep market and a further ad
vance shortly would not surprise the trade.

Unusual Activity in Many Minor

Prices Advance Throughout the
List Exchange Kates Near
Gold Export Level.
NEW YORK. Dec. . There was traor
dlnary variety in the Issues dealt in on the
Stock Exchange today and very
to account for tin newly-revived Interest
In them. Transactions weer made in a
large number of securities that
appeared on. the tape before In mom"
pist and only a few time. In the year
activities. Others which customarily oc
cupy a place in tne ncii --
forward to the conspicuous forefront of
the market. The consequence - '"i
large number of different securities of
which sales were made and some ensa
tlonal price changes, when compared wltn
preceding quotations. There was a cor
responding retreat Into comparative ob
scurity of many of the stock, which have
furnished the staple for speculative activ
ity for many month.
In omo respects such a market may be
accepted as a reflection of a broadening
tendency In the Interest felt. The high
grade standard stocks, which are the more
representative of general conditions, arc
always first to move In a speculative ad
vance, and it Is not unusual for the lower
grade less representative stocks to be
brought into adjustment to the rise In a
belated movement. By the time this pro
cess has reached down to the dreg of the
market and has stirred up a movement In
stocks of which any value is problematical,
the inference Is drawn by the practiced
market operator that a movement la ap
proaching Its culmination.
There were appearance to suggest such
a conclusion In today s market, but there
was less readiness to accept It. owing to
the number of times of late when such
signs have failed. Today's market. In fact,
was remarkably free from pressure or
from hostile attempts to reverse the pre
vailing tendency In spite of the admittedly
suspicious appearance of the movement.
There was a fairly active demand In the
trunk line group. Including the coalers,
during the day. This was the only notable
exception to "the predominance of the low
grade stocks In the day's dealings.
Some Importance was attached to the
report of a truce in the Illinois Manufac
turers' Association's nght against the pro
posal to increase rnilroad freight rates,
and It was Inferred that uch an advance
would be accomplished in the near future.
There -was a rumor that early Conatrcj's"
slonal action was In prospect looking to
the abrogation of the commodities clause
of the Hepburn law. Resumption of ru
mor of an active share In directing the
affairs of New York Central by E. H. Ilar
rlman was an Influence on this group.
Otherwise the material of the speculation
presented an extraordinary series of vague
and unverified rumors affecting several
properties. The advance In the Western
Union dividend was a factor. A good Im
pression was made also by the increase in
the revenues of this corporation, owing
to their accepted reliability as an index
of general business conditions. Allow
ance had to be made, however, for. the
comparison with the period last year, when
revenues weer still affected' by the strike.
Discount rates advanced at all the prin
cipal foreign centers and foreign exchange
rates here rose strongly to near the gold
export lveL
While the closing tone of the market
was irregular from selling to take profits,
most of the day's advances were main

WHEAT DROPS AGAIN
Another Two-Cent Slump in
Chicago Market.
PRICES HAMMERED HARD
July Delivery Subjected to Heavy
Selling Pressure Throughout the
Day Declines in Euro
pean Markets.
CHICAGO. Dec. f. The severe slump in
wheat prices occurred late In the session,
although, with the exception of a brief
period during the first hour, sentiment In
the pit was bearish all day. The decline
carried prices down 1 to Sttc from the
high points of the day. July delivery,
which sustained the greatest loss, was sub
jected to heavy selling pressure throughout
the entire day. the selling being based on
the bearish showing of the Government crop
report Issued on Monday and on the favor
able weather conditions now prevailing in
the United States for the Fall-sown crop.
A decline at Minneapolis, notwithstanding
small receipts in the Northwest, had a de
pressing effect on the local market, as did
the declines at nearly all of the principal
European grain centers. There was some
buying by leading bulls early in the day,
which caused considerable firmness for a
short time, but later these same Interests
became sellers. From $1.09 the May op
tion declined to 1.07H. while July dropped
from Sl.OlTi to enc. At the close all
deliveries were at the bottom price.
Corn was bearishly affected by the alumpj,
in wheat. At the sample tables, prices were
14 to c higher. The market closed weak
at the low point. Final quotations on May
were at 626'62ttc. and on December at
6Sttc.
Oats were firm all day. The close was
firm with prices 140 lower to Ho higher
with DecenVber at OOttc and May at 53
Slittc.
Provisions were dull and steady. At the
close, prices were 5 to 10c higher.

of Appeals. Hyde was released on $20,000
bail and Schneider on $10,000.
The prosecution of Hyde and Schneider,
together with John A. Benson and Henry
P. Dimond, who were acquitted, following
the Investigation of alleged wholesale ir
regularities in public land deals in the
West, cost the Government $100,000, and
the trial occupied three months.
Counsel asked leniency for Schneider,
saying that as an employe he acted un
der orders and did not participate in the
profls.
The court in its sentence pointed out
that Hyde was a man of considerable
wealth, of more than ordinary business
ability, of high standing, holding various
offices of trust, prominent politically and
socially, and "looked upon In many re
spects as a leader.'
"The evil example set," declared Judge
Stafford, "was all the more potent and
pernicious by reason of high position."
Hyde was given the extreme penalty
as the master spirit in the illegal enter
prise, while Schneider, the court de
clared as a "man of foreign birth, lim
ited education, comparatively narrow in
tellect, led on to the unlawful work by
his employer."
