The operations by the bears were overdone, actording to the indica- tions of the latter part of the week, and their efforts to retrieve their position by covering short contracts caused recoveries to about last week's closing prices. These developments gave some animation to the market, in spite | of the tendenc: tic of the | holiday_period. gested in a few specula rgely n con- | ve favorites and there | a has been no evidence of what is called out- side interest In the market, vestment buying stocks, beyond some in- of high grade bonds and presumably in anticlpation of the Janu- s| of profits. These disburse- ‘h nprecedented proportions this vill inciude many new dividend pa: 1 the important increase in dist - old dividend payers. Preparation for nts makes large temporary de market, and the activity of the money market has kept apprehension alive | with flurries caused by caliing of loans which throws stocks held on margin upon the market and thus militates against operations for an advance. Sugar has assumed the dominant | position in the market lately held by Amalga- and its violent decline affected the whole market, while it lasted. Its equally violent recovery 'was an effective fdctor in | rallying the market. This stock was sold with reckless freedom by the bears, on the mp- | tion that conditions in the trade were analogous to those recentiy prevailing in the copper trade, | | | ers, these di giving ground for expecting a similar prolonged decline in the stock. Their campaign resulted in a rout. The question of railroad earnings presents contradictions w h have led to sus- picions that conditions have been under manip- purpose of influencing public opinfon on the subject of combinations and community of ownership. Reports seem agreed that there is such a pressure of traffic of vari- ous kinds offering to railroads that their car supply I= totally inadequate to accommodate | it. Branches of the iron trade are reported in a condition of real distress from inability to secure delivery of material or product, and | grain dealers are said to be forced to hold grain, because there are mo cars to carry it. Cutting of freight rates under these circum- stances forms an anomaly that has given rise to the suspicion that raflroad interests are seeking to demonstrate to the public the con- tinoed independence of operation of raliroads, | notwithstanding the community of interest. Rallroad officlals assert that the expiration of annual traffic contracts and the formation of new ones explains the present disorganization of freight rates. Signs of solicitude on_the part of those concerned in the Great Northern community of interests have caused some dis- quiet among speculative operators, as the fu- re of the stock market is felt to be intimately d up with that of the mass of securitics in that transaction. The formal nent by the president of the Great thern, given to the public at the beginning { the week, was much discussed. It gave rise to some fear that antagenisms remained e of the so-called Northern Pacific s who n(‘cep(ed ! as a plea for non-intervention tate authorities against the Northern curities Company saw in it one of the s citude which might argue a less confl- of mind among the projectors thau professed. Another development aused disquictude was the report of d er 1 earnings for the third week in Decem ber as compared with the previous year of the most representative railroad systems in the Explanations are offered | cold weather caused a check to that is only temporary: that the ght rates which probably had to lecreased earnings is also on tem. that comparisons are made with an level of earnings last year, es- in the Southwestern regions. The re- ces of those which showed marked declines | porary extraordinary pecially ported decreaces had no effect on the stocks, in earnings leading the strong advance in the stock market the latter part og the week. The undertone of speculation has remained con- | fident and the belief prevailed that the pass- ing of the year-end mons be followed by a January as is not unusual requirements would | rise in prices such in the stock market. The clearing conditions in the copper trade, the extraordinary activity in the iron and steel | industries, the unprecedented holiday trade, the prosperous conditions of general business and “evidences of relief from the prolonged crisis in Germany are ail looked to to benefit the future stock market.

Deposits, §910,869,800; increase, $6,773,500. Circulation, $31,856,100; decrease, $73,200. Legal tenders, $71,800,600; increase, $1,230,- 000. Specie, Reserves, Reserve £1,603,375. Surplus, $7,801,350; increase, $2,106,025. The Financler says: The traceable move- ments of money this week, so far as they af- fected bank conditions, showed an estimated Jcss to the banks of only $95,200 cash. Among the striking features of the movement was the <teady flow of currency to New Orleans through the Treasury, ‘been transferred Guring the bank week; joss to the banks of $2,030,800 through the fiscal operations of the Government, and the gain to the banks on the interior movement $163,618,200; increase, $2,560,400. $235,608,800; increase, $3,799,400. required, $227,717,450; increase, | of money, which amounted, deducting trans- fers, to $§1,735,800. The receipts of currency from the West were fairly large/ reflecting shipments by banks in that section to take advantage of the high money rates at this | center and also the beginning of the return flow of currency which had been sent to the West in response (o the early demand arising from the harvesting of grain. Some Wcstern funds doubtless also came hither to meet. in- terest and dividend requirements. The gain in specle, as indicated by the bank returns, was $2,569, nd in legal tenders §1,230,000, making the total increase in cash Toans were augmented by $964.800. posits showed @ gain of _$6,773,500, amount was greater by $2,010,300 than the total increase of cash and of loans; hence the statement in this respect was out of harmony. Surplus reserve indicated a gain of 2,106,025 and this item now stands at $7,891,360, againat 811,525,000 at the corresponding périod a year ago, 1t is probable that the statement was made on rising averages of the cash, for | though transfers to New Orleans through the Treasury were large at the end of the bank week, these were more than offset by receipts of funds from the interior with which to meet drafts for January disbursements. is expected that by Monday of this week pay- ments will be made by the Assistant Treasury at New York of about $3,000,000 for a block cf $2,500,000 unmatured 4s of 1007, which were bought for delivery before the end of the year. There i3 still due about $1,500,000 on account of the January Interest on Govern- ment bonds, which will be Rflld during the current week. Beginning with the new year banks retiring their circulation will forward through the New York Sub-Treasury nearly $3,000,000 of lawful money with which to replace bonds securing such circulation. Those bonds will then be withdrawn and most likely they will be sold on the market. So far as monetary conditions at this center gre concerned, there may be continued temsion until the payments by banks and tru: Danies for January interest and dividends come large. Then the distribution of this money should bring about easler rates, at least for loans at call on the Stock Exchange. London Market.

For a time prices held steady on a fair amount of local buying. Reports showing that stocks ‘were accumulating at primary points gave rise to the natural expectation of a big visible' re- port Monday, this serving to weaken bull con- fldence somewhat. The feelings of holders were further molested by the decline in Liver- pool spot markets, which made the advance in % | futures at the market look like manipulation from this side. The support which has been | forthcoming for May by local operators failed ! to appear and as there were numerous stop ' loss orders at that figure the market broke sharply to 81%@Sl%c and closed week, Ojc under yesterday, at S1%e. “The orn market ruled firm early, but broke later with wheat.
