NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—Business in securi- ties was for the most part intensely dull to- ay and prices sagged from inaction. The most notable movement In the rallroad list was that in Northern Pacific preferred which fell away a point on large realizing sales in- duced by the payment of the dividend of 1 per cent which was taken off the price to-day. Quotations from London and the German bourses, where this stock is a speculative fav- orite, showed that the reallzing movement was in force there also and there were sales of the stock in this market for foreign account. The statement of earnings for the second week in December also encouraged the sellers with its increase of lese than $10,000 over the corre- eponding week in last year, as compared with the increase of over $100,000 in other recent ‘weeks. close. London wae a moderate seller in this market of all the international stocks. The tone of the money market was unsettled to-day. J.oans were reported during the day as high as 4 per cent, but at the close of the market there was some offered down to 1 per cent, and an actual transaction was reported at that figure. This sudden weakening of call money had no influence on the prices of stocks, which were weak and declining at the close. Sterling exchange also responded to the stiff- ness in the money market with a decline of 13 in the actual rate for demand bills and of 14 in the price of cables on London and sixty- day bills. There was also a significant fail in the price of Government bonds, the new fours and the fives falling % in the bid price. The market was exceedingly narrow throughout the day and many usually active stocks were quiet. The bond market showed a large falling off in activity, and prices in a majority of the is- jues dealt in showed losses. Total sales 1,150,000 Total sales of stock to-day were 167,500 ehares, including: Burlington 14,145, L. and N. 2092, Manhattan 10,86), Met.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2L.—The Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock market here was dull to-day, the usual disposition of the closing of accounts before the end of the year being assisted by the political situation in the far East. There was n further sharp fall in China and Japan loans. Americans were dwindling on the absence of New Yerk support and _closed flat, notably Canadian Pacific and Northern Pacific pre- ferred. A feature was the sharp decifne in Indian exchange to 153 due to speculation for a fall, the business having been overdone and to dear money. The Indian banks of Bombay and Bengal have raised the rate to 7 &nd the Bank of England has raised its rate for. loans to the imerket to:3 Dercent. & arge sum was loaned to-day.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—May wheat opened easy and about 3c lower than it closed at | vesterday at 93%@%%c. Liverpool was only %d higher at the opening here. Chicago re- ceipts were very heavy, amounting 570 cars, of which numbr 340 were of contract quality. Minneapolis received only 172 cars and Duluth reported 118 cars there, as com- pared with a total of £82 last week. This turned the general feeling toward the bull side again and the opening weaknesssoon gave lace to considerable strength. This was fol- lowed by reaction, and later the market turned strong again. This seesawing was kegt | up all morning. The first advance was led by the bull clique, and on several subsequent oc- | casions, when the market appeared to require | help, the ume'lplr(y was credited with being | its rescuers. There is a strong probability | that by December 31 there will be 8,000,000 | bushels of contract quality of wheat in regu- lar Chicago warehouses. Rumors of vessel | room having been taken in New York foruhlr ment of 17,000,000 bushels of wheat early in January for account of the bull clique of Chi- cago were circulated on the floor. Later in | the session the market became quite weak | under realizing by professionals. There was | reason to believe also that the Leiter crowd s0ld considerable. The market gradually de- clined to 93%c and closed easy at #3%c. There ‘were further large deliveries of wheat this afternoon, Armour delivering 750,000 bushels and other dealers as much more. December closed at §1, where it wound up yesterday. Corn was much quieter than yesterday, clos- Mg %@l%c lower. , 0nts were steady, closing with a loss of only c. Provisions were weak. The heavy run of hogs has started quite free selling. At the | close May &or\: was 1 lower, May lard 10c | lower and May ribs 12c lower. Articles. |Open|High.
