There are cable inquiries here from both France and Ger- many, but we are unable to learn of any important ssles to- day. Coast advices con- finue to note & very strong tone, especially on the large sizes. Spot 60-70s are quoted at | Bic. A shade under 4%oc might do business | on 70-80s, and 850-90s close at 4c, with some holders quoting 43c. Chicago wires to-day confirm yesterday's re of the purchase by & syndicate of the bulk of the Oregon 30-40s. To arrive here 40-50s offer at 63c, with some seles put through at this figure.

NEW TYORK, Dec. 6.—The dealings 1n stocks to-day refiected no change from re- cently prevailfng doubt and hesitation of the speculative community. Professional traders were early indisposcd to leave contracts open even over Sunday. Eelling & the first hour was followed by rebuying after the bank statement appeared, the weakness of the show- ing heving been so well discounted that its publication induced no outside selling. It is | reported that some large sums of cash are! going to pear-by cities for use as change in holiday business. The small joan increase by the Lapks was not unexpected and it was feared that a still greater fxy.nlloll had oc- curred in thet item, as several large- trans- actions are known to have been made in the loans. The foreign houses are mow the im- nt fector in the loan market and it is Bolicvea that the resources for these loans have been secured by drawing foreign exchange, which s in effect & short sale of exchange. The bigh rate for time loans serves as an at- traction to foreign lenders. There have been very large repayments of foreign borrowings for some time, which are believed to have been secured on very advaniageous terms for employment in the stock market. Their ex- piration was an important influence in the re- cent heavy lighidation imw the stock market. Some of the funds seem to have been re- loaned during .t}l-:unmnmmm terms now prevailing, “Cperations i stock market _this O e conilined (o the testing eftorts of the professional Some attempt wae made to lift prices early in the week on the assumption that the December ist disburse- ments to the money market would relieve the tension there and Tl_fl)rdmlmm !o: specu- lative operations. &) reason for pay- ment of a 50 per cent instaliment of 515.000000 of new Illinois Central was cause of the = | tiftoens of money Monday, but as the week it was realized’ that whatever relaxation there might be in the money market was only \The rightening process was manifest in the *me money market, on in which commisaions were exacted for loans for the shorter | panies in the combine, | may draw gold from New York. made upon New York. The export of gold irom New York directly to Paris or London | is believed to have been evaded only by a | large use of bankers' credit, by selling of bills of exchange to be covered by purchases later. A short interest in. sterling exchange of many | millions of dollars 1s said to have been created | in this way. The London money markei has grown easler under the influence of large Gov- ernment disbursements and the payment on | Monday to shareholders of the constituent com- 80 that large repay- ments have been made to the Bank of England, which has left its minimum discount rate un- changed. Large forces of depletion are at work, however, upon the bank's reserve and an inicrease in the bank rate is looked for be- fore the end of the year, and such an advance In New York the banking reserves are suffering ‘heavy de- pletion from comestic sources. Customs col- lections continue to run very high and demand payments to the Sub-Treasury average $700.00) daily The return movement of currency from the “interfor is also delayed and large remit- tances have been made to New Orleans. It is rumored also in banking circles that ioans made directly in the New York market by in- terior banks before the crop-moving demand and while call money ruled high here have been withdrawn on a very large scale, The result is to increase the demand upon New York banks for loans at the same time that in- roads are made upon their cash reserves. In- terior money rates continue high and the con- tinuance of active trade at a high level of prices maintains the demand for credits : throughout the country. The possibility of a | year-end money squeeze has been the dominant | factor in repressing all activity in the stock | market, and financial powers are united in | frowning upon speculative use of resources | | which will evidently be needed for mora es- | 8184 sential purposes. There are elements in the | irade situation, the dgfinite outcome of which | it is desired to await. The advancing of wages of railway employes and the raising of {rans- portation rates is extending over the breadth of the continent. The effects upon railroad | net earnings, upon volume of frelght, upon | cost of material transported and upon final | demand for consumption must be readjusted. | In the iron trade also authorities report a | general tendency rather downward and the | holding back of some work because buyers find the cost too high, the more so, as present stocks of material are exhausted.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—The statement of av- erages of Clearing House Banks of this city for the week show: Loans $581,437,000, increase $1,611,000; de- posits $870,962,600, decrease $4,074. culation $45,506,600, increase $73,800; tenders $67,203,600, decrease $611,700; 182,620,800; decrease, 6.2190,400; reserve, 220,914,400, decrelse $6,831,100; reserve re- quired 19, decrease $1,018,550, sur- plus $9,973;" ;, decrease $5.812,550; ex Unit- States deposits $20,010,300, decrease $5,- The New York Financier this week says: The official statement of the New York Asso- ciated Banks last week showed the large loss of $,831,100 cash, this amount very closely corresponding with the estimate of a decrease of $6,928,200, which estimate was based upon the traceable movements of money during the week. The loss was largely in specle, this item showing a decrease of $0,219,400; the re- duction in legal tenders was $611,700. The loans were increased only $1,611,000, indicating there must have been gonsiderable contraction as the result of disbursement of funds for the December settlements, the loaning of which money largely contributed to the expansion of this item as shown in the statement of the previous week. Deposits decreased $4,074,200, | or $1,145,900 below the amount called for by the decrease in cash, less the increase in loans; therefore the statement was technically out of procf. The circulation was increased $73,800. The average daily clearings for the week were §245,000,000, or §28,000,000 less than those in the previous week. The changes in loans dur- ing the week show that eight banks increased | this item by $400,000 net; the largest galn was $4,300,000 by one bank. Exports and Imports. = NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Total imports of dry goods and merchandise at the port of New York for this week were valued at $11,601,267. Total imports of specle at the port of New York for this week were $51,330 silver and $65,613 gold.

Th&.Chicago letter of Bolton, De Ruy- ter & Co. says: “Market was lower. Receipts in this mar- ket are larger than expected, and liberal ad- vicea for Monday are expected. This was the cause of the weakness. Provisions are pretty high to buy, but, pending +the liquidation of short interest in January, they may go higher.
