Frick is reported to-day to have sold all his holdings of Reading Railway stock and will resign from the Reading directorate at the next meeting of the board. The First National bank of New York is said to be the purchaser of the great block of Reading stock held by Mr.

Frick and said to amount to over $1,000,000. In conservative Iron "and steel circles the belief prevails that the earnings of the United States Steel Company for the last quarter will reach $39,000,000. In more optimistic quarters predictions are made that earnings are close to 140,000,000, or within a shade of the total of the banner quarter ending June 30 last, when 340,125,033 were reported. The United States treasury now has a working balance of During the next six months this will probably be increased by $35,000,000 from excess of receipts over expenditures. Within the same time $42,000,000, under previous notices given by Secretary Shaw at times.

MODERATE DEMAND FOR SECURITIESPRICES GAIN FRACTIONALLY IN SPOTS. AN INCREASE IN TRADING. Pittsburgh Brewing Strong All Day. M. H.

Dull and Higher. But One Active Mine. THURSDAY, Jan. 3. The local stock market was firm and dull this morning.

Dealings, however, were light, with the exception of those in one of the mining issues, which was the chief factor in trading the opening hour. Slight gains were made In a few issues, but no decided advances were registered. In subsequent dealings the market became slightly broader than it was in the morning, but dealings at all stages of the session were small in substantial issues. The firmness and dullness noticeable early in the dav continued ud to the close, but no important gains were made. There was an Increase in business, sales aggregating 7,033 shares, against shares handled Wednesday.

But little attention was given to the natural gas group. Only a little more than 100 shares of Manufacturers Gas were sold at 1616Ts, the stock holding firm at that, level, to which it was lifted at the close yesterday. Later in the day this stock continued dull and firm, but did not become more active than it was In the morning. In the last few minutes of the session several transactions were made at 17, which indicates a recovery of S3 from the low point touched last month. The final bid was 16.

which is better than the closing one yesterday. No other member of the group was dealt in and those mentioned were quoted as usual. The feature of the Brewings was the strength and demand for Pittsburgh Brewing common. It was dealt in at 33, the price to which It was advanced at the close yesterday, some 500 shares changing hands early. One of the reasons given for the buying of the stock Is the consolidation of the Pittsburgh Brewing Company and the Independent Brewing Company.

This Is an oft-repeated tale, but does duty as well as any when an explanation is needed. It is asserted that the consolidation has been In view for some time and that the buying of the brewing stocks is made with an understanding as to the future. The Idea is that so many shares of the Pittsburgh Brewing will be exchanged for Independent Brewing stock, and that the inside interests may be in need of additional stock to work out the plan properly. In the afternoon Pittsburgh Brewing was again dealt in at 33 and remained firm to the close. The eldSing bid was 32.

which is better than the final one yesterday. -Independent Brewing was dealt in lightly at 17 and was firm and dull throughout the session. Several hundred shares of Independent Brewing preferred were dealt in at 441444. and the final bid on Pittsburgh Brewing preferred was 50. The firmness of the brewing issues to some extent imparted firmness to the list.

Early dealings In the mining group consisted wholly of operations In Interior Mining. The first hour and. a half over 2.500 shares of the stock changed hands at 34 cents a share, a reaction of one cent a share as against the price made. Mon-- day. Bids and oners were posted on most other members of the group but nothing was done In them in a trading way early in the day.

In the afternoon some further trading was done in this stock at the price made in the morning and It ended the day dull. The only other Issues dealt in were Shoshone at 14. and Cable Consolidated at 33 cents a share. Operations in the metal shares were light and confined to Crucibles, nothing being done in United States Steel issues. Crucible common brought 11 in the morning, and in the afternoon and near the close yielded a shade to 11.

One transaction was made in Crucible preferred near the close at 784. a slight advance over the previous price. The market ended dull. The total of assessed busings at the Pittsburgh clearing house for 116 reached the hi eh record firure of comparing with $2,470,722,263.09. Only 67 errors were, made during the year.

Rumors of Deals and Offers on Downtown Property More Numerous and Better Market Expected. Economy promises to furnish so much freight when the large plants are built there that railroads are figuring on getting branches into the place.

The property owners of that 'lcinlty were surprised this week to see a corps of engineers staking out a railroad right of way along the Big Sewlckley creek. The proposed lines evidently extends from Butler county to Economy, and there are Beveral railroads In Butler county to which the line could be connected. This makes the second railroad line which has been projected into Economy recently. The new line extends about 28 miles. The stakes are 100 feet apart and are numbered up to 1.400.

The backers of the lines are keeping the matter quiet. Representatives of the H. K. Porter Locomotive works, which recently bought a large tract in Economy for a big plant, have been inspecting locomotive works all over the world and this week visited the Economy site. It Is expected that the contract for the steel work for the new Porter plant will be let soon.

The big plants of the American Bridge Company, the Rlter-Conley Manufacturing Company, the H. K. Porter Company and smaller concerns would provide a great amount of freight, which will grow as that section expands and more plants locate there. Buy Acreage at Carnegie. The McClintick-Marshall Construction Company Is reported to have purchased from the Bell estate 22 acres of land In Carnegie for $44,000, or about $2,000 an acre.

The property adjoin th American Structural Steel Company's plant, which about one year ago was bought by the McCllntic-Marehall Construction Company. The acreage Is also adjoining the Pennsylvania Smelting Company's plant and on the Panhandle division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The Keystone Driller Company received yesterday deed from E. II. Whiteside for tho former American Steel Wire Company's property in Eighth avenue.

Beaver Falls. There are about 3) acres in the plot, which sold for $65,000, and the purchasing firm has plans prepared for a group of new manufacturing buildings which will cost $125,000. Several hundred more hands will ba employed by the concern, which will then be the largest manufacturing firm In Beaver Falls. Brokers Getting "Nibbles." Brokers report that there Is more "nibbling" going on now than has been the case for some months and they hope that this Is a sign of a better market coming. Rumors of deals are more numerous and offers also.

None of the offers appear to be hurriedly taken, which apparently shows that real estate holders are confident of high values of their property. A deal in Liberty avenue property, near Sixth street, was reported yesterday. The property has a frontage of 73 feet and the sale price was reported at $10,000 a front foot, or $730,000. An offer of $3,000 a front foot for the property of the Barnes estate fronting in Third avenue, between Wood and Smith-field streets, was also reported. The lot Is 60xSo feet and the building has been occupied by the Barnes Company.

JUDGE CAUTIONS: JURORS, Case Will Be Continued To-Day in Criminal Court Commonwealth Finishes Evidence. Shortly before noon yesterday Frank, alias "Yank" McCormlck, an East Pittsburgh saloonkeeper, was placed on trial before Judge J. A. Evans, In criminal court on the charge of embracery, growing out of the first trial of Daniel Brady. Chief Clerk Lawrence quarter sessions court, identified the court records, which showed that the Brady case was called before Judge Francis J.

Kooser, October 1, and that Reymef Bush was one of the Jurors. Patrolman Freeborn testified to seeing McCormlck walking with Juror Bush and Alexander McKim toward Diamond street. He said his attention was called to the trio by Policeman Nugent. After pointing out the defendant to County Detective Harry Merit, McCormlck was taken to the district attorney's' office and questioned. Policeman Nugent told of being detailed to watch Reymer Bush, the fifth Juror In the box.

Says the Men Met. He saw the defendant meet Bush and with another man go to a saloon In Fifth avenue. Later they went to a saloon in Grant street, all sat at a table and had a whispered consultation. As the three men arose from the table witness heard one say: "That Judge has a pair of sharp eyes." Reymer Bush testified to meeting McCormlck and Alexander McKlm. He said McCormlck whispered to him that Brady, was a good friend of his and he would like Bush to do him a favor.

Witness said that McCormlck visited him at his house after this convers tlon and asked him what he was going 1 to do. When Bush replied that he Intended telling all, McCormlck said; "My God, do you want to hang Makes a Denial. On cross-examination Bush denied that December 19, he told McCormlck that Officer Freeborn had been out to see him and told him they were both In a bad fix and had better stick together In the interests of both. McCormlck himself testified that October 1, he was in the court house as a character witness for a friend. He said while going to a saloon McKlm and Bush walked 40 or 50 feet behind him.

He admitted drinking with Bush, but denied mentioning Brady's name and said he did not know. Brady before this trouble. Judge Evans continued the trial until this morning after cautioning the jury to say nothing outside of court. Members of the Jury The Jury is composed of W. P.

Because most of the choir leaders and soloists of the Methodist Episcopal Church are not members of that denomination, and evince no inclination to become such, and for the further reason that the music within recent years is said to have gravitated more toward operatic airs than toward sacred hymns, an effort is being made to dispense with paid singers. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the Ministerial association Monday. Agitation for reform along those lines was begun some time ago, but was first formally presented to the Methodist Episcopal Ministerial association last Mon- day by Attorney Harvey Henderson, chairman of the music committee of the North Avenue Methodist Church. Rev Dr. C.

W. Smith, editor of the "Christian Advocate," and Rev. Dr. C. W.

Blodgett. pastor of the North Avenue Methodist Church, are the leaders of the reformers. THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS. The sale of Mansfield tickets at the Nixon began yesterday mornmg with a regular old-time Pattl rush. The celebrated artist will play "Peer Gynt" every night (except Saturday) and at Saturday matinee.

The curtain on "Peer Gynt" will rise evenings at 7:45 o'clock. This role Is so overwhelming in its tax on the energies of the artist that he cannot play "Peer Oynt" twice in the same day, mo Saturday night he gives "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide." That the people of Pittsburgh still have a fond memory for the former stock favorite. William Ingersoll.

is prov- en by the advance sale in the Belasco Theater for the coming week, which has already reached big figures. Mr. Ingersoll will be seen in the role of John Ash-by, a Texas railroad engineer of the real Western manly type. "The Love Route." as It is called, ran for several months both in New York and Chicago during the present season. An excellent cast.

Including Odette Tyler, will appear with Mr. Ingersoll. Denman Thompson's "Old Homestead." which is announced for production In the Alvln next Monday night, is proof against change in cast, apparently. Joshua Whit-comb is a character, not a part, and in the hands of a competent actor like Wll-' liam Lawrence, who is playing the part this season, much can be made of It. The play is said to be better and stronger this year than ever.

Coffee. NEW YORK. Jan. 3. The market for coffee futures opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 5 points on bullish reports concerning Government purchases in the primary markets, covering of shorts and a little support from local bulls.

"Did you ever read the storj of Enid? Well, you don't have to. The story has the ear-marks of a fake, but it's a good story whether true or not," said the Green Goods Man as he jabbed an icicle into a can of storage milk already well watered by the milk trust. "Enid was Ynlol's only daughter. She married a big lusty lug, by name Ger-aint. He didn't seem to have any regular occupation except to fight.

He was a sort of an old-time Jim Jeffries or Gans. except that he didn't fight with gloves in a ring. He used a long handled jablKr or an axe. He apparently was a 'champeen, if a fellow named Tennyson is telling the truth. "Geralnt was dippv about hsa wife.

He smoked too much one night and imagined that Enid was conducting a little flirtation with a chap named Doorm. He became so fldsrettv about it thai he almost acquired nervous prostration. "Geralnt discovered tliH-t it was up to him to turn a trick to relieve, th nerve pressure so he got busy. He loaded Km a on one mule and lifted himself on an-othfr and. acting aa chauffeur for tho procession, start out to kill robr-rs, bandits and other bad foiks the po.u-e department couldn't collect.

They au needed kr.ling badly, and knew it. "After Geraint killed about robbers, a little fallow sm-aked up on him, banged him a swipe in the slats and he took the count. "Enid, however, was Johnny on the epot. and. taking her jealous lnii-band on her mule, galloped to tho castle of Doorm, which was hard by.

iCasu 9 are always hard by. or hard up. which is about the same thing). Old Ioorm. who was a masher with a record, tried the flirtation and goocoo-eye game on Lnid, ehf, o-ivii lemon.

"Geralnt was in the splints, but he saw the lemon episode, got well, stuck a Jabber Into Doorm and loved Enid without a break thereafter." 4 Pittsburgh Wholesale Markets. THURSDAY, Jan. 3. Trade continues quit in produce and fruits In groceries, however, there Is an active demand, the call for this class of goods being of an urgent character. Florida oranges are in good request.

Some frosted stocks are offerc-U, but there is plenty of sound fruit on th market which is quoted at reasonable prices. Pineapples are quiet and there is a fair demand for mandarines, tangerines and satsumas. Florida strawberries arc off slightly receipts having increased moderately The demand for strawberries at this period of the year is usually light. The frut so far offered is of good flavor and high color. Apples continue to drag.

Dealers are holding out for quotations well, yet on large lots are willing to make concessions At points of origin shippers have firm views and believe that within a short time prices will be higher. No great advance is looked for since stocks are very Onions are quiet and there is a fair demand for cabbage, celery, new beans, new b-ets. lettuce and other green stuff. Boston cucumbers move out slowly be- tv, hin-h nrices asked. Califor- nia cauliflower is on hand and Cuban tomatoes should soon be on this mnrket.

Bermuda potatoes are quoted at Ck? 7 50 a barrel, but dealers are willing to take less. The egg market is weak and dealers are offering them at 2526 cents a dozen. Some dealers say they want 2v20 cents. but they don't appear to know, or don want to know that the market is weak and lower. BUTTER.

It Is expected thia irregularity and narrowness will continue until money is more plentiful, rates lower and outlook for maintained case in this respect is surer than it is now.

"Whitney. Stephenson The copper stocks were the feature of the day, A. C. P. being especially strong.

There sf-fms to be no immediate prospects of lower prices, for the metal or any falling off In the demand and thia Indicates vastly increased earnings. By private wire to R. M. Weaver: The market was strong to-day, being Influenced by the easier rates for call monev. The money market will continue to ease right along now and aa rates drop, stocks will advance.

To Henry J. Spuhler: Sentiment Is bullish on United Slates Steel, owing to the enormous earnings for 1)6 and the large volume of business booked for 19o7. With easing money rates, the list will continue to rise. Ry private wire to Childs Childs: Traders were all inclined to be bearish and raided Union and Southern Pacific. Strength was all in the copper stocks.

We would advise buying on the weak spots and look for higher prices. By private wire to Henry Sproul Wheat was weak on renewed liquidation by local bulls and coram'saion house holdings. About the only support Riven the market came from the shorts covering. To Robinson The afternoon market was strong in spots, but the general tendency was reactionary, due chiefly to the continued pressure on Union Pacific, Heading and the Hill stock. We look for slight improvement in prices to-morrow.

John D. Armstrong There was soiling at the start, with prices working off, buying orders being scarce while cable advices were not encouraging. There was fair movement of spring wheat. Miller When the money situation settles, which it has all the appearance of doing, we shall probably- jiaain have another upward swing. Underlying conditions are good enough and there is no need for an investor to part with his stocks.

GET.YOUR SHARE OF GOLDFIELD'S WEALTH. Hayes and Monette's famous Mohawk lease, which Is now yielding $100,000 per day, did not find ore until down more than 300 feet, after spending six months in sinking their shaft and getting ready. To-day they have more than $1,000,000 worth of ore, which runs from $10 lo $50 per pound, In the vaults of Goldficld banks. Fifty armed watchmen, supporting the orders of the United States court, are surrounding this and other leases on the Mohawk to keep miners from stealing the wonderfully rich ore. The general trend of the veins which pass through the Mohawk, the Red Top, the Jumbo and the other properties in the $50,000,000 Goldfield Merger, is northeast and pass through the Kewana Min ing Company's claims.

Two of these veins from the Jumbo and the Velvet, intersect on Block- 12 of Kewana claim No. 3 and the Kewana Leasing Corporation has a shaft down 100 feet, passing through true sulphide ore, which is being hurried down to catch the intersection at a depth of probably 400 feet. It has better values in its shaft to-day than the Mohawk had at ft corresponding depth and a better showing to-day than Hayes and Monette had at the same period of development. It's a safe prediction that when the Kewana Leasing Company's shaft has reached a depth of 300 feet that it will have caught the intersection of the veins which are exposed on the surface. Then the stock will be cheap at a dollar a share, especially when the low capitalization is considered.

Kewana Leasing Corporation stock at 15 cents is one of the best investments in the entire Gold-field district. We've 10,000 shares of the Initial allotments yet unsold at 15 cents. To get your share at this price, it's necessary to place' your order immediately, wiring at our expense. Special maps and reports mailed on request.

R1VERMEN PROTEST. Want No Dock Built on Allegheny Near Sixth Street Bridge Few Boats Operating. Riverrnen entered a vigorous protest against the proposed construction of a dock near the Sixth street bridge, Duquesne way, at a hearing before Major W. L. Sibert yesterday.

The Pittsburgh Dock and Transportation Company received privilege from the city administra tion to erect the dock on ground controlled by the city and the firm applied to the war department, through Major Sibert. to get the sanction necessary for erecting the dock to the water line of the Allegheny river. J. Frank Tilley. representing the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company; Thomas M.

Rees, of James Rees Sons; H. B. Naylor, representing Henry Phipps, who recently erected the Fulton and Bessemer buildings in Duquesne way; George W. Thomas, of the Peoples Coal Company; Captain Ed Jordan and others were the protesting riverrnen. alleging that the dock would be a menace to towboats, especially when the water was high.

G. C. Langenhelm, engineer, and John Campbell, secretary for the Pittsburgh Dock and Transportation Company, represented the firm, which desires a dock nine feet high. Major Sibert will make recommendations to the war department, where final disposition of the case will be made. The towboats Boaz and Tornado were Inspected yesterday by United States Inspectors George H.

Atkinson and Isaac 13. Williams. The Ben Hur was the only packet in and out yesterday. The Cincinnati line will send out the Keystone State tomorrow. The Alice Brown and Exporter arrived yesterday with empties.

Coal operators are doing little with the present stage of water. One tow of barges will be sent to Midland to-day. No coal was sent out yesterday. There was 11.7 feet at Davis Island dam and 10.4 feet at No. 2 Ohio river last night and falling.

The striking deck hands of the pool towboats gathered on the Water street wharf yesterday. Some of the towboats are operated shorthanded. River Telegrams. CINCINNATI. Jan.
