New York, Jan. 5.-The professional view of the weakness that developed in the stock market today was that it was largely due to the sympathetic effect of the collapse in Consolidated Gas, which proceeded today, only less violently than yesterday. The period of great weakness in Consolidated Gas today, however, was while the general list was making a sturdy stand against the reaction and was showing a degree of positive strength in some quarters. The action of the market warranted the implication that the support was in the interest of fa cilitating a process of liquidation and the pursuit of this purpose had the later effect of weakening the whole list. The consensus of opinion has been that the period of renewed ease in the money market after the turn of the year would facilitate a revival of speculative activity and conduce to still higher prices for stocks. The money market is rapidly growing easier. The Consolidated Gas decis ion undoubtedly had a bad effect on the speculative confidence engendered by the assumption that governmental activity was to move in future in favor of the corporations. The uneasiness over the subject of government aggression upon corpora tions was shown by the manner in which various incidents bearing on the subjects were dwelt upon. The ac tion by the United States senate of a resolution calling for information of an alleged opinion by the attorney general sanctioning the purchase of the Tennessee Coal & Iron company by the United States Steel corporation was thus dwelt upon. So was a report that a secret investigation of most meat-packing houses had been re sumed. So was the taking of oral testimony in the government's suit to dissolve the Harriman railroad mergt.r. Some of the liquidation of the day was attributed to holders of Consolidated Gas who were unwilling to sell it and had to find resources to protect it. American smelting, al most alone of the general list, showed any strength, and an advance in the price of copper was given some re sponsibility for this. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, $5,916,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. New York Closing Stocks.

At the LYRIC TONIGHT'AND TOMORROW NIGHT UNRIVALED SCENIC PRODUCTION OF THE GREAT SHAKESPEARIAN TRAGEDY "RICHARD III." SYNOPSIS OF SCENES. Exterior of the Tower of London-Tresel brings to the dethroned king, Henry VI., the news of the loss of the battle of Tewksbury and the- death of the king's son. "Now is the winter of our discontent." The Duke of Gloucester (afterward King Richard III.) enters the Tower and kills the imprisoned King Henry VI. "Down to hell, and say I sent thee there." The Duke of Gloucester stops the funeral procession of Henry VI., woos and wins Lady Anne. Inside the palace, Queen Elizabeth and the Duch ess of York are weeping over the death of Edward IV. To this Gloucester remarks: "These tears look well; sorrow's the mode. With all my heart I'll not be out of fashion," and he weeps too. Plotting for the crown. Crosby Palace.-The little Prince of Wales on the throne is visited by his brother, the Duke of York. He jokingly makes a lamb of the Duke of Gloucester, who advises the two princes to live in the Tower until the Prince of Wales is ready to be crowned Ed ward V., but privately intends that they will never leave the Tower alive. The Duke of Gloucester, now married to Lady Anne, wishes that she were dead. The Duke of Gloucester, as King Richard, is now 'seated on the throne of England. Buckingham now claims his reward for as sisting to make Richard the King of England, but Richard, in a rage, replies, "I'm busy, .thou troublest me. I'm not in the giving vein." Richard, with his army, on the way to battle. Is halted by his mother and Duchess of York and Queen Elizabeth and cursed for his evil dee'le. Catesby brings news of the loss of Buckingham's army and the capture of Buckingham. While Richard sleeps in troubled dreams the spirits of those whom he has killed visit him and call upon him to "despair and die." They vanish and he wakes in terror. "Hence, bubbling dreams, You threaten here in vain; 'Conscience, avaunt. Richard's himself again." Closing scene, battle of Bosworth Field, showing death of Richard III., and the crowning of the Earl of Richmond as Henry VII., King of England. The Chicago Daily Inter Ocean, in its criticism of the late feature films, says: "We cannot speak in too high praise of the picture Richard III. The acting of the prin cipal characters is all that can be desired and the staging and scenic effects show that nothing is too difficult in moving pictures." "AMBULANCE DOGS" Or "FIRST AID TO THE WOUNDED." This pictre will be of great interest to men, women and children alike for it shows the noblo beast performing the wonders on the battle field for the Red Cross Society. "HOUSECLEANING DAYS" Critics say this picture is an effort in the comical line, but that the producers have missed the mark. Well let you pass judgment upon it. E. Worth Crampton in "Hail to the Boys of U. S. A." "LYRIC" STANDS FOR SUPERIORITY NEW INDIAN TREATY RATIFIED YAQUIS ARE POURING INTO SO NORA AND SURRENDERING THEIlr ARMS. Nogales, Ariz.. Jan. 5.-Official no tice was received here today from acting Governor Cubillas of the state of Sonora, Mexico, that the treaty be tween the Mexican government and the Yaqul Indians had been finally rati fled and that thousands of the Indians are coming into the capital and sur rendering their arms in compliance with the terms of the treaty. The Yaqui chiefs announce their de termination of hunting down and slaying all renegade Indians who re fuse to peacefully surrender and agree to the terms of peace. The details of the peace pact were outlined In these dispatches several days ago and amount practically to complete sur render and disarming of the warring Yaquis. "Give the glad news to all the peo ple," is the mesage which Governor Cubillas sends with the official no tice. The end of the Indian war in So nora is one of far-reaching importance to interests in Mexico and the south ern and western part of the United States. Thousands of Americans owning mines, lands and various en terprises in Sonora, who have been forced out of the country through fear of Indian outrages will renew their commercial activities, resulting in a great period of development for the country. Scores of men, Americans, Mexicans and Indians were slain in the war which lasted several years. U.
