Ilffct l nil (he Situation Here.
i:sr Sftcudlly Calling.
Local Ijiiltcr dealrre ilo not expect prices
here to be much affected by the complica
tions at Chicago and Elgin, but that UI
depend, of course, on the, extent to which
the Eastern markets respond to the drive
at storase butter. So far as fresh Kastern
butter Is concerned It Is hard to buy even
at the current price. The make of local
butter Is not heavy, and tinder normal con
dIUons the market would be firm. The
whole situation Is unsettled, however, by
the position In which the stnrae operators
are placed and the uncertainty as to what
will be the outcome.
There Is no possibility of Ktmtern storage
butter being raised to any hlsh figure, and
If it Is forced below the present quotation
of 31 to 12 cents the profits of the specu
latora will be cut -cnto. Therefore, the
dealers here believe that prlcea will be
held about where they are. None of. them
think there is much chance of the local
market advancing In the near future.
There Is more Interest In the egg than
In the butter market Just now. Egg prices
are rolng down at the rate of a cent a day
and there Is no telling when the slump will
slop unless the weather changes. Candled
stock was quoted yesterday at 3.3 cents
and current receipts were offered at 306-3
cents. Offers to buy in the, country were
around 3S cents.

Hop Deals Tending.
No sales were reported in the local hop
market yesterday, though several deals were
pending. The California market, like that
In Oregon., la more or less blocked.
Conditions In New Turk State, according
to the Waterville Times, are as follows:
"Except for a few sales of common to me
dium hops there has been no business trans
acted on thla market. Pricea remain about
as usual and there seems to be little effort
t sell on the part of the few holders of this
year's hops, as well as small Inquiry from
dialers regarding them."
Front Street Well Supplied.
Receipts from tha South yesterday In
cluded one car each of oranges, celery and
mixed vegetablea. The nine cars of bananas
received Sunday were In green condition.
Trade in general was rather quiet, as was
to be expected with the stormy weather.
The street is now well supplied with every
thing, and as soon as the weather settles a
brisk market la expected.
Poultry Receipts Light.
Arrivals of poultry were light yesterday,
and this gave the Jobbers a chance to clean
up the stocks carried ever from last week,
prices were unchanged.
The dressed pork market continues weak.
Bank Clearings.
The bank clearings of the Northwestern

cabinet open with nitro-trlycerin,
thinking- there niigrht be money in it;
and smashed a valuable computing ma
chine, believing, evidently, that there
might be cash concealed somewhere in
Its interior. They did not find . any
money.
Deputy Sheriffs Leonard and Phillips,
who went to Fairvlew yesterday to in
vNestlsate. aid that the filing, cabinet
could have been opened with a screw
driver or pried open with a "Jimmy."
The burglars left behind a bottle
which had contained the nltro-giycer-ine.
It was wrapped in what appeaced
to be the lining of a mailsack bottom.

STOCKS GO UPWARD
Decision in Anthracite Case
Has Its Effect.
SOARING STARTS AT ONCE
Reading and Union Pacific Advance
Four Points and Other leading
Issues Make Gains Daring
the Day's Trading.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. In the decision of
the United Slates Supreme Court in the
anthracite cave. the. stock market today re.
celved an effective stimulus. Reading, by
reason of the direct bearing of the decision
upon that stock, displaced Union Pacific
as the chief feature of the market, and Its
wide 'luetuatlone, covering a range of near
ly 10 points, furnished the chief motive
power.
Reading In live points In the morning
on heavy selling, during the course of which
the leading Issues, with the exception of
Union Pacific, reached new low point for
the movement.
The news from Washington of the a'n
thracite decision changed the aspect of the
market Instantly. There was excited bid
ding for Reading, which was rushed up as
much as a point between sales. After sell
In;; at. lSsi the price bounded to 164
Trading grew quiet for a time, pending
receipt of more definite information as to
the court's ruling, and then buying was
resumed In a more orderly way. Reading
advanced to 3 OH.
Another active Issues rose sympathetically
until .there were numerous gains of one to
four points. Union Pacific rising four. Some
of the anthracite stocks made larger gains.
Quotations eased off Just before the close.
The bond market developed early weak
ness, but later made a number of substan
tial gains. Total sales, par value, $1,943,000.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

EXPORT SALES HELP
Rally in Wheat, With Quarter

CLOSING' TONE IS FIRM
Strength Develops at Chicago in
Spite of Expectation of Bearish
Government Crop Report.
Stock Upturn a Factor.
CHICAGO, Dec. 39. Export sales here
helped bring about a rally today In wheat.
The close was firm at an advance of a
shade to Vie net. strength developed In
spite of a belief that the Government crop
report would favor tha bear side. The ex
tent, however, to which the document would
do so was foreseen. Visible supply figures
being smaller than expected, aided tho bulls
during the final trades. The upturn In New
York stocks counted also against the bears
at the last. "
Unsettled weather ahead brought about
buying of corn. -
Oats reflected faintly the strength of
other cereals.
Liquidating sales broke the provision mar
ket, which closed from 15c to 47Vc lower.
