NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Speculative liquida- tion continued in the stock market to-day, in- Cuced by the stringency in money, which ran the cril loan rate up to 12 per cent at one time and forced a good share of liquidation. | Other selling was precautionary, in - fear of *till more stringent conditions i1 the. money market. A very material element in the day's weakness was the short selling by the bears, Who became emboldened by the lack of sup: | port in the market and put out very large ®hort lines. When the market turned tne bears found they had been following the de- cline oo closely and they helped on the rally by bidding against each other to get back | stocks. The rally came when the banks came into the exchange market for the drst time late in the day and offered large sums at the prevailing rate, which was at the high level With the satisfaction of the demand by these offerings the rate fell away and the pressure ' The latter have withdrawn | b Stocks— Sales. High. Atchison . 28,800 A Atchison pfd . 18,500 | Baltimore & Ohio.. 9,100 Visalia | | Wis Cent prd | Adame - on the stock market was quickly relaxed. Dealings by the bears was the one element in the rally. This was not fully held and the market closed irregular. Losses are shown practically throughout. There is nothing ob- scure about the situation of the money mar- ket. With surplus reserves shown to be below §7,000,000 in last Saturday’s bank statement and with large seasonable credit allowances known to be vending it was obvious that the money supply would be limited. The outgo of gold is continuing, in spite of the need for money, to-day showing a withdrawal of $500,- 000 from the sub-treasury for shipment on Saturday, said to be for Brazil. The renewed demand for the Interior is also an unexpected development and was continued to-day with the transfer of £100,000 to New Orleans. Thé redemptions of Government bonds are not suf- ficlent to offset the requirements of the sub- treasury as is shown by yesterday's met gain by that institution of $438.000. in spite of pay- ment in redemption of bonds of upward of §1,500,000. Besides the general influence of the money situation there was some special weakness shown by New York Central at a decline of 3% on the restriction of action by the directors of Vanderbilt roads at to-day's meeting to an advance in the dividend rate on Canada Southern. Northwest dropped 4 and Omaha 6. Pennsylvania and Norfolk and Western fell over 2 points. A decline of 21 in Manhattan led the weakness in the local tractions. Among the industrials Colorado Fuel fell 6% on rumors of dissensions in the corporation. . General Electric lost 8, American Linseed preferred 5 and Tennessee Coal 2%. without ~epecial explanation. The general range of declines ran from 1 to 2 points, Louisville at one time falling 2%. The ex- treme losses were much modified by the final rally. Amalgamated Copper fluctuated from a | bigh level of 71% in the morning down to | 67 in the afternoon, closing at 681, a net loss of 2%. ° Bonds were active and weak. par value, $3,545,000. United States bonds were all unchansed on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Total sales, Baltimore & O pfd. Canadian Pacific .. Canada Southern. Ches & Ohio. . Chicago & Alton.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financlal cablegram say: Disturbing elements in the stock market to- day were a fresh drop in copper to £352 s the ton and in Rio Tintos to 41%, and the con- tinued flatness of American stocks which fafied to hold the opening prices, nervous bulls clos- ing their contracts. New York came again as a seller, but a rally toward the close on | Amalgamated Copper dividend talk was only momentary, as London thinks the company squeezed resources to support the market. The close was at the bottom on private cable dis- patches announcing dear money in New York. The Bank of England is still lending. Money is expected to be tight, but the bank returns show that reserve is £4,000,000 higher than a year ago at the same time, and, therefore, nothing serious is anticipated. Gold to the amount of £20,000 has gone to the Continent and the price of the metal has risen to 77s 104 on the Continental demand. CLOSING.

Wheat had a qulet and heavy market. A severe storm off the Englisli coast prevented the arrival of Liverpool cables, but the weak tone in the London market was thought to reflect the tone at other big marts. Business at the opening was fair and prices remarkably steady. Northwestern receipts were rather light, but later the primary re- ceipts showed heavy increases and had a de- pressing effect. Selling was the main ‘influ- ence, however. There was practically no country buying present and there was a heavy liquidation at prices over 80c for May. May opened %@%c higher to {@%c lower at 80%¢ to 80c, and en the absence of support at those figures sold down quickly to 79%c. From this point it was a narrow scalping market. The close was weak, %@%c down, at 79%c. Corn s0ld off heavily the first hour, follow- ing wheat. Late in the session several trad- ers began taking on long line, and frightened shorts covering, sent vrices back slightly. May closed weak, ¥%c down, at 66%c. Oats followed corn.’ May closed %c down at_15c. Hog products were glven poor support, both locally and outside. January pork closed 152 down, lard 2%c off and ribs 7%c lower.

Wheat and Other Grains. WHEAT—There is a distinct slackening of the buying demand all over the world. Parls futures are lower and the Liverpool market is quoted easier and neglected. The Englishmen from the very first refused to respond to the American advance. { Chicago_declined from 80%c to 79%c, ‘recov- ering to 79%c. The opening was fairly active, and there were good buying orders around 80c, but heavy liquidation weakened the market and big stop orders at 70c came in, aggra- vating the weakness. The country, Which for some days formed the chief purchasers and ‘were the prime cause of the rise, turned right about, and fearing that they had killed the goose that lald the golden egg, began to sell freely. The rally at the close was caused by the shorts covering. There was talk of a de- crease in the Northwestern movement, but the Southwest sold freely. It had up to yesterday been a liberal buyer. Minneapolis and Duluth estimated an Increase of 2,500,000 in their stocks for the week. This market declined again, both on and off 1. *Spot Wheat—Shipping, $1 023%; milling, $105%@1 06% per otl.

OATS Everything looks bullish in this maz. ket, and_ there have been some heavy trars- fers of late, both here and up north. The army took 800 tons here and is considering Dbids for 800 tons more; it took 520 tons at Tacoma and Is reported to be after 2500 tons' ‘more at the latter point; it is also taking 2500 tons at Portland. In addition 2000 tons have lately been bought in Eastern Oregon for ship- ment Into the Western States. This makes a movement, past, present and prospective of 9100 tons during the past fortnight. Thess figures mi dealers very bullish and the market rules stiff: Reverse conditions prevail at Chicago. There the movement fs increasing, and owing to. the enormous scattered long interest a break is feared if liquidation should set in.
