McADIE, Forecast Official. L et EASTERN MARKETS. New York Stock Market NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The preliminary fig- ures of the weekly cash movement furnished by the banks themselves gave assurance that the return flow of currency from the channels of domestic trade has set in in force. There | | was a quick response in thg.money market, where enormous offerings of funds carried the rate down to 6 per cent. Standing-loans were already marked down to that rate at the re- quest of the borrowers. This is exactly the | development that the recent rise in stocks was intended to anticipate; yet the stock market realize profits and ended at a level substan- tially below that of last night. There were | points of strength during the day, and the specuiative liquidation was kept weil in hand with the assistance of the strong spots in the market, which were in part due to manipu- | lation. There was a palpable shifting of spec- ulative accounts from Reading into United States Steel, but there were evidences of sim- | ilar transfers at other points in the market. Early in the day the strong points predom- inated over the weak ones, but the profit- taking became generdl as the day progressed. | The transactions in United States Steel were | on an enormous scale and the stock held its advantage. Local traction stocks showed | strength, led by Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which | is ome of the few stocks on the list which started this year at a price far lower than It | | Gid last. There was strength also in a num- | | ber of central traffic and Southwestern rail- | roads. The Wabash stocks were conspicuous, and the Toledo, St. Louis and Westerns were | unusually active on rumors of absorption by the Vanderbilt interests. On the other hand, | ail the recently prominent speculative favor- | ites were under acute pressure. These in- | cluded the coalers, especially Reading, the | | & ers and Pacifics. An advance of 33 in | Great Northern preferred and bidding up of | | Northern,Securities Company on nominal tran- | sactions In the outside market failed to deter | speculators from selling the Pacifics. There was nothing in the day’s news of sufficient im- portance on the side of depression to acocunt for the reaction and it was attributed purely | to realizing of speculative profits. This devel- | opment rather discredited the recent theo: that the latest strength of the market wi due to support by great capitalists and ban! ing interests with a view to prosecution of | future projects and seemed to put the profes- sional stamp on the recent bull movement. The easing of the money rate was accompanied by sales of foreign exchange and the simul- taneous relapse of Sterling exchange in Paris narrows the margin toward the point of profit in gold exports. A further cut in the price of copper was a slightly disturbing factor and the report of requests for extension of ac- commodation by a large promotion syndicate in Ohio received some consideration. The mar- ket closed active and easy at about the lowest. The market for bonds was active and -broad, 2“‘ E!&l somewhat Irregular. Total sales, 5, 0. TUnited States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stock— Sales. High. Low. Close.

The week has naturally been quiet to the verge of dullness as regards new business, the main attertion be- ing concentrated in gathering up the threads of old bueiness, in stock-taking and in prep- arations for the future. 2 A conspictous exception to the general quiet- ness is found in the iron and steel situation, which gains rather than loses activity. Here, however, the car shortage question cuts a dis- turbing figure, and one which, in view of the advanced stage of the season, bids fair to continue to unsettle both produetion and con- sumption considerably. _Supplies ‘of coke at the ovens are piling up, but the blast furnaces are shutting down because of the necessary link between the two, an abundance of cars not being forthcoming. Southern pig iron has advanced 50 cents per ton and the Western trade is getting its chief supplies from this source. At the East pig iron ls also firmer. Plentiful orders are offered, but none are ac- cepted for delivery before July 1. Mesaba iron ore has been advanced in price. The only appearance of weakness in finished products is in wire end nails, which are $2 per ton lower, owing to increased competition of out- side makers. Heavy rallroad orders for Mexico are reported pending and international com- Ppetition promises to be Keen in this respect. . Prices show few. changes on the week. The cereals are on the whole higher, due mainly to the strength of wheat, which ‘still supports the coarser grains. Small deliveries and firm cables, with some better export buying early, Checked later by the advance, coupled with £00d buying by the country are the strengthen- ing features. Winter wheat crop reports are in the main favorable. Provisions are steady except lard, which has weakened slightly. Quictness” is the feature in Jeather and kindred trades. but an access rather than the 10ss In strength of prices is looked for. Shoe shipments are smaller than of late, but still is in excess of a year ago. New bprices for rubber goods show an advarce of § per cent over a year ago., Copper bas been again cut, thia time to 12c for lake, and tin is also lower, While lead is unchanged. DBrass has been lowered to meet the decline in copper. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week aggregate 4,816,471 bushels, as against 4,291, week and 3,414,301 busheis 543 bushels 3 \ in this week last year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3*—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market to-day was active and firm as a_whole, with the buoyancy in South African shares absorbing the bulk of the in- terest. The canard about the assassinationof Lord Milner, High Commissioner of South Africa, had little effect on the market. Con- sols were strong, advancing to 84%. . American shares were strongest around mid- day. From that time on they see-sawed and finally closed at the lowest, save for United States Steel. There is tall that Canadian Pa- cific. which New York largely bought,” will increase dividends later and give some stock rights. No gold is going out. but the Con- tinental demand is reviving. The spurt in sily ver, due to short supplies, seems ended. New mek Money Markct. NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Money on call was firm at 5@7 per cent, closed bid and asked 5@ 6 per cent.

New York traders sold early on the bearish £ news, but as soon as the ‘story got out and leading began to buy in heavily the early short sellers repented thel by buying back their own stuff news thit the Southwest had little wheat Shipments of the cash article were repo: to New York and the Southwest at better prices than May was commanding here.

Corn was influenced early by wheat, but later in the session turned individually strong and even lent strength to wheat The close was strong, May % @3%c up at 6874c. . The corn advance and an imprayed cash de- ‘mand kept oats moderately active with gener- .leh better ‘gl"zceu. May closed only firm, ¢ higher, at 48%c. Hoa producis hardly held steady. The fedt- ure was the continued selling of May lard by brokers. Narrow fluctuations were the order of the day, though selling depressed pprices slightly.

There are two or three cars of Sweets on the track which are unsalable, being frost-bitten, and they will probably be dumped. There are now no good Sweets on the market .in first hands. Peas and Beans have been accumulating since the holidays, and as the dally receipts are | heavy and there is a good deal of frost-bitten stock offering, the market Is weak. The following new rules of the Produce Deal- ers’ Protective Assoclation, relative to sales of Potatoes and Onions, have just gone into effect. Heavy penalties will be imposed for violation of these rules: Rule 1.
