Suggestions | of a reopening of the tariff revision ques- | ton also had their effect | In the light of the Standard Ofl de- clsion, further procedure in the direction of comblinations Is made a matter of grave | consideration. The copper group continues | to reflect most closely the mutation of feeling on the subject, owing to the ad-| vanced stage Lo which the profect for a consolidation of copper produce had rcached and the apparent continucnce of efforts to find a way to carry out the | project without contravention of the prin- | ciples lald down in the new interpretation | of the anti-trust law. | A violent decline in the price of copper | warrants occurred In the London market | today. The demand from consumers s | restiined again today and the who'e | situation suffers. The vicissitudes of the | prosecution of the American Sugar Re- fining company were reflected In the fresh liquidation in that stock today down to 116%, the lowest price level of the year. This was accompanied by reports of un- desirable prominence to be given the com pany's affairs in the forthcoming presi- dentlal message, with the chances of a congressional investigation. Another restraining Influence on the speculation is the belief that the time for relaxation of the money market may be deferred. The continued withdrawals of gold for shipment, both to South America | and to Canada, are significant of the con- tinued control’ of the local gold supply by London bankers. This 1s partly to the maturing of loans fr foreigners to New York borrowers, which are called for payment instead of to be renewed. The officlal announcement of measures designed by the British govern- ment to care for revenue requirements | after the coming refection of the budget | by the House of Lords is awaited with interest and some anxiety in all financlal markets. In our own money market fu- ture requirements are becoming defined New York City will sell $12,600000 cor- porate stock on December 20, the first Installment of = subscription to Penns; vania stock will call for §24,500,000 on De- cember 15; on December 20 the New Haven | stock subseriptions will “call for $12,500000 | instaliment, while for January the $44,608, 000 of New York Central stock and $10,230,- 000 on account of Missouri Pacific con- vertible bonds must be provided for, be- sides other smal'er issues already an- nounced and more expected. The strengthening effect of Wabash “deal” rumors, the Rock Island’s sale of St. Louls & San Francisco and the repe- titlon of Reading “melon” rumors proved unavailing in face of these factors of discouragement.

L 100 CATTLE—Recelpts of cattle were fairy liberal this morning, 205 cars being re- ported in. The market conditions, however, were none too favorable, owing to the fact that the quality of the receipts was not very good. At the same time the weather continuing very soft and sloppy was against sellers,” limiting the demand, es- y for some kinds. ile the demand for feeders was not as brisk as might be expected under more favorable weather conditions, there was, nevertheless, a very falr Inquiry for the best kinds and cattle of that description were the first In the yards to sell. The prices paid were steady to a little easier and from that on down to 5@10c iower on the common to medium grades. Cows and helfers were sought after, but the market seemed to be lacking in ‘snap and it was rather late in the morning be- fore very much business had been trans- acted. To quote the general market on that kind of caftle as weak to 10c lower would just about cover the situation. Buyers of beef steers were out in the yards In good season, looking over supplies, but they were backward about taking hold and it was well along toward midday be- fore they really got good down to bus ness. The best beef, which was in ex- tremely light supply,’ did not show much change, but the feeling on inferior grades was rather weak. The trade closed in very bad shape, buy- €rs toward the last not appearing anxious for the cattle even at the decline, many of them leaving the yards before a clear- ance vas effected. The feeder market, especlally, closed very bad.

MURDER MAY BE ALLEGED Capital Offenae Charge De, ikely to Be th te the Supposed In- nity of Youns Wealey The coroner's inqu-st over Arthur Long, killed Wesley McRride Saturday, was not held Sunday, but was postponed until Wednesday, when it will take place at the coroner's South Omaha, beginning at 2 p. m. the body of The McBride boy will, 1t is sald, have to face a prosecution for murder In spite of his youth. Insanity will be the likely defense. There can be many witnessos called to testify to queer, or at least un- unusal, behavior on the part of the boy, who I8 16 years of age. The story of the strange ocourrence created a profound sensation in South Omaha. The general sentiment expressed was sympathy for the parents of MeBride and commiseration for the bereaved fam- ‘ ily. It is anticipated that the coroner's In- quest will be watoched with great intercst and that many will be in attendance to hear at first hand the boy's story. It is not known whether he will be permitted to tell the whole story before the coroner's Jury. It Is not required that he be pres- ent, but he may appeas The funeral of the Long boy has not yet been arranged, but it will probably Tuesday morning. Presbyterian Church Fund Grows, An adjourned session of the Presbyteriam congregation was convened Sunday dur- b 5; [Ing the latter half of the hour of regular hurch service. The finance committes 00 |M8de a good report, showing much prog- |ress during the last two weeks. The re- port shows an increase in the buildin fund of about §7,00 over the firet report. The first report of the committeo did mot contaln the funds derived from the sale of the old church. All told the funds on hand and pledged has reached the figure of $11,400. The finance committee has been busy, but not all turned in the subscrip- tons yesterday. The subscriptions have come from about scventy members of the church. The church has a membership of over 400, and an effort Is to be made In the next two weeks to reach them all and find exactly how much will be pledged. The church has the promise and the pros- pect of considerable outside aid, if the membership rises to its duty and shoul- ders its just share of the burden. With dlligent effort during the next two weeks the finance commitiee hopes to got at least $20,00 subscribed. This wlll be within the church membership entirely and the flgures may be even larger. Out- side ald will probably add several thou- sande to this amount. This will make it possible to bulld a church up to the plans 4s at present adopted. A resolution was adopted praising the work of the finance committe: and grant- ing 1t that much more time In which to completo the canvass. Some of the mem- bers were In favor of still more time, but this was thought sufficient. Paving Bids Opened Tonight. The clty councll will have an important session tonight at the city hall. Bids for ten paving contracts will be recelved. The last advertisement of paving contracts brought out about six or eight bidders. The present contracts are still larger than those at that time. The favorite material for the majority of these paving contracts (s, asphalt, concrete or the combination known as asphaltic concrete. The formula of this material 18 much llke the sarco paving ot some Of the cities. It is not called sarco in the specifications, as the sarco paving is & patented material, Over 80,00 yards of paving are to be laid, This will mean a contract reaching fully $160,000. Officer Reports Omitted Names, | Paul MacAulay, the truant officer of Bouth Omaha, has prepared his annual r port to the board, showing what he hus.J found concerning the enrolled children and those who have escaped enrollment. He says that 433 names have been omitted from the census report made by the enumerators, The ways in which the omissions arose are numerous. Some are at present of school age who were not at the time the census was taken, or at least were declared un- der age by parents. Many parents omitted ' names of thelr older children so they might send them out to work. Many of these were declared over 16 years old pijo were still under 16. The truant officer 'whs made up his report by comparing the pres- ent list with that of a year previous, with the teachers’ class room rolls, the books of the packing houses and the business of- fices where boys are employed. In this way he has discovered the omitted names, These omissions will cut down the state appropriation about $850. The South Omaha school districts will lose this. The census showed a compllation of 7,388 5 names, while the actual figures are over 8,000, The average attendance of the grades and high school is about 2,0 short of the full enumeration The Shamrock elub s to give a dancing party Tuesday evening at Rushing's hall, E.
