American Steel and Wire has been the object of a great deal of attention on account of the stori:s which are circus lated of dissenslons in the management and the announcement that a siock exchange house has asked for proxies tor use at tne coming annual meeting, the purpose belng to effect u change in the ‘management.

Rumors of deals and combinations are still heard and support s given to many differ- ent groups of Fallrond stocks on this basts. It may also be noted that while specuia- tive buying is of small proportions the in- vostment demand for bonds and dividend- aying stocks of the best class is on a arge scale, The ecarcity of high grade bond fscies 18 noteworthy and has led to a marked demand for securities of what may be termed the second rank.

Speculators Unload on Account of Week's Henvy Drain to Interfor. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The prospect of a decline in cnsh resources of the banks of upward of $7,000,000 rm\-m too much for the fortitude of speculators today and they #old stocks, reversing the movement of yesterday. Although they had the advan- tage of new points of strength in a num- ber of lmH\In{\ml stocks amongst the low- priced stocks a demoralizing tone in one or two of the Industrials more than offset this advantage. The subtreasury alone has taken up from the banks during the week $6,100,000, Including the deposits at the sub- treasury for telographic transfer to the in- terfor. The direct movement by express, although supposed to be small on balance, is certainly in fayor of the interlor. Thers {8 u suspicion also that the local moy ments of cash, which have helped out the showing of the banks for the last few I8 not to be relled on this week. o' gnins have been due to & large ex- tent to the operations of a single bank, in whi 18 ntered some of the most im- ortant sts in the financial world, in- uding copper mining stocks. The course Amalgamated Copper during the week glven rise to the apprehension that in. ts fdentified with It need not be ex- led to have taken measures to conserve the general money market situation. The loan item also is the subject of much per- plexed surmise, While there has been some speculative liquidation in the stock market there has been some large horrowing for outside financial opera- tlons, including subscriptions to a $10,000,00 tssue of Third Avenue bonds, also closed toda, 1t has been largely oversubscribed. If there has been any considerable loan expension double effect’ on the surplus reserves may prove somewhat sensational, especiallly with the most trying {wrlml of th ‘ear on the money market to be immediately faced. Liguidation was not urgent In the stock market, but was quite general. Even the rie scourities ylelded temporarily on the denfal of a story Il‘(""‘[)‘l!\g to explain thelr movement by alleging that the com- pany had purchased the Pennsylvania Coal company. Hoth the stocks and bonds, how- ever, rallied subsequently to top prices. Be- sldes this strength was shown by the St. Louls & San Francisco stocks, led by the second preferred with an advance of 2%, and the New York, Chicago & St. Louls, led by the second preferred with an ad- vance of 4%. On the other hand there was continned weakness fn Tennessee Coal on wersistent rumors that the dividend would o passed. The stock fell at one time 2t and ‘after fluctuating feverishly close within e of the lowest. Coincident with the meeting of the directors of the United States Rubber company the common 8tock broke 4 and the preferred stock 6%, with- out meeting any effective support. It was reported after the meeting without equal authority that the company had reduced the price of its goods 2 per cent and doubts were expressed of the maintenance of the dividends on the preferred. Pacific Mall broke nearly 4 per cent on the large de- crease in not earnings reported for October. The unsatisfactory results of the meeting of western raflroad presidents to enfore the observance of frelght rates helped to d press the ratirond list. There was weak- news in People’s Gas, Tobacco and the local 'lie closing was moderately ac- tive and easy and many stocks were at the low point. Business in bonds continued large. There was profit taking in some of the speculative issues, but there was a notable increase in the demand for high grade bonds, which made the market very broad. Total sales, par value, $,1%,00.

The desirable kinds, such as would answer for Christmas beef, 'were in good demand at steady to strong prices. Buch classes of cattle are selling a big dime higher than they were a week ago. The common and half-fat stuff, however, was slow sale today and pricés have shown no improvement all the week. The cow market was just about eteady to- day. particularly on ‘the best either cows or heifers. Canners also sold In just about yesterday's notches. but the medium grades were slow sale and prices barely ateady. ~The market particularly active, offered changed hands in fairly good sea- son. The feeder market was by no mea liberally supplied, and, as traders we: willing to buy a'few good cattle, the ma ket on that class of stuff was steady to strong and fairly active. The less deaira- ble grades and the light stockers, however, did not move any too readily and'prices did not show any material change from yester- day or from the first of the week. Stock cows and heifers also brought about stendy prices and the same was true of stock bulls and calves. There were a few western cattle on the Texas order on sale today and they brought about steady prices. ‘The supply of range cows and feeders ~was light and they brought practically the eume prices that they “sold for yesterday.
