THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1901 SUMMARY OF THE MARKETS. New York stocks show a slight advance. Silver higher. Sight drafts on London a fraction off. Wheat and Barley dull and not materially changed. Oats, Corn and Rye as preziously quoted. Bran and Middlings marked up. Hay unchanged. Beans and Seeds about as before. Butter and Eggs steady and Cheese easy. Provisions lower at Chicago and quiet here. Prunes and Raisins continue in lively demand and firm. Another advance in Hogs. Beef and Mutton firm. Potatoes firm and Onions easy. Squash gluts the market. Poultry and Game about as before. Three cars of Oranges offered at auction. Nothing new in local stocks and bonds. Conditions in Wall Strect. The New York circular of Henry Clews says: “Liquidation has been quite extensive during the past week, due chiefly to two causes, firmer nd the collapse in copper jecline in the latter, of course, forced the 0od stocks to protect accounts; hence the weakr the better class of securities. There was less resistance to declines than wit- d ing the summer months, though was due to free selling or willing- e market leaders to permit a moder- e of liquidation is a matter of doubt. s no guestion, however, that the future arket will be benefited by the pres. eact An advance could not be con- d without a fresh start, and a fresh start mpossible except at a lower level and with new bLicod. There is plenty of money seeking investment, but not at top prices; those who have large sums to invest and whose opera- tions must be depended upon for a successful buil movement are not likely to buy at the end of & rise. 1f, therefore, the powers who control the market and who are vitally interested in higher prices have now willingly permitted the market to respond naturally to actual condi- tions, and this seems to be o, they have acted wise It was the interference with the na of the markets at the time of the United States steel strike, the corn crop Gamage, the death of Bresident McKinley and other untoward events that brought the stock market into the condition of deadlock which it has endured for the past two months. Had a recession of 8 to 10 points been permitted be- iween July and October we might now have heen on the eve of a legitimate bull campaign; instead, the market seems to be now tardily responding to drawbacks which cannot be. ig- nored. The only thing that will adjust the money situation with the bamks in connection swith thelr reserves is liquidation in the stock market. as through that process only at this time can the bank reserves be maintained. . It §s this feature of the situation that threatens Jower prices for stocks before we get out of the present rut of money stringency. The re- reding prices in the stock market of late should not have taken any sagaclous person by sur- prise, @s they were Inevitable. Artificial methods in keeping up prices beyond conditions wi nitely. Wall street ought to have had three big surges in prices at least during the last several months, but artificial methods in bridg- ing over prevented such natural setbacks. The #tee] strike was sufficlent incentive for a good- ized break: the corn crop damage was another. and the mssassination of President McKinley was a third. The effect of these three import. snt factors upon the market was scarcely per- owing to the herculean efforts which ade to prevent a semi-panic in each in- stance.” what IWeather Report.

McADIE, Forecast Official. —_— - EASTERN MARKETS. New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Dec. 18—The principal effort of the operators in stocks to-day continued to be to solve the enigma of the copper question. The erratic fluctuations of Amalgamated Cop- per reficcted the uncertainty of mind of the professional operators in this stock, who largely monopolized the dealings. Traders of the class who usually depend upon the toss of a coin or upon the aggressive leadership of larger operators for actuating motive talked glibly of technical conditions in the copper trade. Oof actual developments the additional cut in the prices of copper was the feature of the day, The weakness yesterday in Amalgamates, which continued this morning. was due to the assumption that there would be further de- clines in the price of the company’s product. The rally of 4% points in the price of the stock after the reduction of the selling prices by the United Metals Selling Company indi. cated that yesterdey's selling was by profes. sional bears and was overdone. The fact that the former difference between the price of Lake Superior and_electrolytic copper was narrowed by to-day's changes was taken as an indica- tion of an adjustment of differences of opinion between the controlling interests in Amaiga- mated Copper and Calumet and Hecla, as it has heen supposed that the latter interests maintained that Amalgamated had an undue sdvantage from the relative cheapness of elec- trolytic copper. Many rumors were indus- triously circulated of progress toward adjust- - securities. | rrant cannot be continued indefi- | + hours: | ment of all the late unsettling influences in the copper situation.

Cables were firmer, Northwestern were very small receipts both local and and promised to be smaller because of hard railroading dur- ing the cold weather, and many shorts were buying. The trade was not large, but the gen- eral tone was one of buoyancy at the opening. May started a shade to %c up at 80c to 80142 80%c and rapidly advanced to 80%ec. ‘When the wheat bought early began to come out for profits there also developed several factors bearish that at once sent prices backward. The seaboard reported no export sales and even indicated that foreigners were reselling there. The report of a disturbed state of affairs in the Mirneanolis flour market and the conse- quent reselling of flour there by millers also Outsiders were doing practl cally no buying and the hollday dullness pre- troubled bulls. vailed against the early advance.
