TliroUBhoit the week tho Ptoek market
has Miown a strong tendency toward re
covery from the lute reaction, trnnmictlniiH
IiuvInK Increased In volume and prices
Hteaillly ailvuntctl. It In true, many of thu

of them begin to think thev have been pre.

fact hiifi lo he taken Into account In estl

market. It Is to Ho noted, however, that
never hufore. In the history of Wall street
has the market been held by an outside
clientele of such number and lltiunclal
strength as that which now nils the locu:
commission hoiiseu and rends Us orders

Willi the "lull" sentiment, which It re
ceives very largely from operators In the
Interior, who better comprehend than we
at this center the great wuvo of prosperity
that Is now spreading over tho length ntul
breadth of the country, A new and Im
portant sourco of strength also comes from
the men who have transferred their busi
nesses to the trusts nnd now, with ample
means, find themselves drawn Into the
powerful eddies of speculation. These are
forces In thu current speculation which
have not et begun to culminate; it Is not
therefore surprising that many stocks hnvo
already risen above, past hnom Inures. The
following quotations of leading railroad

Tho stock market has lately offered un
usual facilities for trading, tho undertone
having been particularly strong, and good
buying developing on every reaction. A
fresh Impetus was given to the upward
movement by thu new coal deal or reported
purchuso of the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany In tho Interest of thu rival anthracite
companies. As this Is expected to effect
ually stop competition In tint anthracite
coal business the outlook Is for a further
period of prosperity for tho coal carriers,
and these shares naturally displayed con
siderable strength. Another strong group
was tho Southern nnd Southwestern prop
erties. Hitherto, theso have experienced
a smaller rlso than tho granger! or trunk
shares; and, as nearly nil are showing
heavy gains In earnings tho support ac
corded theso seem perfectly legitimate. In
previous advices wo have Impressed our
customers with tho fact that tho great re'n
tlve prosperity of the south, arising from
the high price of cotton and great Industrial
development, must In duo season favorably
affect the values of railroad properties
running through those districts. Some of
theso roads are now showing phenomenal
earnings, especially when compared with
four or live years ago, ami there Is every
probability that the best Issues will remain
on a permanently higher level than they
havo hitherto been accustomed to.
Al times thu niurkct has shown reac
tionary symptoms owing to realizations,
hut no general weakness has developed and
bono Is yet In sight. Stocks aro not In
weak hands; as yet there has bee.ii no ex
cessive or reckless speculation, and while
general business continues so sound ami
active there is little chance for senre reac
tions. Some uneasiness has been felt re
garding the money market, for higher rates
are anticipated with preparations for Jan
nary disbursements and In view of the
present condition of bank reserves. Any
such stringency, however, Is likely to bo
temporary, and while lime money continues
to bo obtainable on moderate terms hold
ers of stocks aro not likely to show much
nnxloty. Tho disbursements on dividend
and Interest account next January will bo
unus.inlly heavy; In fact they must break
Iho record, for the Industrials are distribut
ing heavy amounts of nrollts and many of
the railroads havo either Increased their
dividend rato or entered the ranks of dividend-payers.
There Is every prospect of a
big Investment demand for stocks and
bonds during 'the next few weeks and this
111 splto of high prices.
Demon si rules Mtnlitllty,
Tho cnurso of tho market, more espe
cially within tho last fortnight, has demon
strated tho stability of aclua' conditions
throughout tho country. Kears wero ex
pressed that he November rise In values
was In excess of warrant, but It Is becom
ing clearer every day thai the Investing
public has examined Into tho bustnesn out
look pretty closely.
Tho facts speak for themselves, Our
prosperity rests upon the sure foundation
of the products of the soil, whether In thu
line of agriculture or of mining. Our manu

last week attention was devoted chlellv to
tho affairs of the mortgage banks. 'Tho
weekly lluanclal reviews freelv admit lh.it
tho market was rapidly drifting toward
panic until syndicate hanks In llerlln were
organized for the protection of holders of
obligations of the Prussia Hypotlieken
Action bank. The danger was lntensllled
early In the week by the announcement that
tho Pomeranian Hypotlieken bank and tho
.MecKieuourg-nireiux iivpotiicKen bank
would discontinue repurchasing their obli
gations. A great rush to sell other tnorl.
gage bank obligations followed and so great
was mo appreuension mat tno published
statement of the 1'nlted States mortgage
hanks, asserting that their own condition
was perfectly sound, did not havo an Imme
diate effect. Nevertheless, this statement
and the organization of a syndicate quieted
alarm and at tho end of tho week tho
selling of obligations had markedly
diminished nnd the general tone of tho
market improved. Tlio declines for tho
week In mortgage bank obligations ranged
i rum - in in points, wmcn means an enor
mous loss on the ti.OOtl.OOO.O'iO marks of such
securities circulating In Oermnny.
Yesterday the committee ot holders of

tho most recent balance sheets of tho In

hist eighteen months ll,000,oiii) marks of

committee asks the holders to take meas
ures to avoid bankruptcy, thereby saving

The mortgage banks' affairs affected tho

CATTLI2 There were onlv a few odds
ntul ends on sale today in the cattle vnrds
and no particular change. In tho market
was noiiceame.
Iho recu hits of cattle for the week hnvo
been Just a trifle more thun thoy wero
for tho preceding week, tho Increase
amounting lo about 1,117 head. As com
pared with tho corresponding week of lust
year there Is an Increase of l.CftX head.
ine tendency or prices tno past weeK has
been downward on nil kinds of killers.
Tho market on beef steers has been slow
nnd draggy and prices declined nil the
way from 10c to 25c. Other mnrkets re
ported similar declines, so that prices nre
well In Hue at this point. It is the common
and half-fat stuff that Is the hardest to
sell. Packers simply do not want the un
finished cattle and they will not take them
unless they con get them nt n low figure.
Thu best handy weight cnttlo have prob
ably not gone off moro than 10c or 13c,
hut aside from thoso prices nre all of I5fl25c
lower lor me weeic,
rhere has been very little str ctlv cho co
cow stuff on sale this week nnd values on
that class of cattle hnvo not declined more
than 10c or 15c for tho week, dinners havo
also held up fairly well, tho decline being
about the same as on the good stuff. Tho
medium kinds havo been the worst sellers
unit they can safely be quoted USic lower
tliun tney wero u weeit ago.
Packer bulls have been rather hard to sell
of lato nnd the tendency of prices hns been
downward. Stags arc also n little lower
for the week and veal calves hnvo not
shown much change.
t holce feeders at tno close of tne weeK
wero a little hlcher than nn Slondny. Tho
demand for tho better grades win fairly
good and sa'es were made that looked
strong to 10c or 15c higher. The general
market, however, could best bo described
by calling It strong. On Saturday there
wero still qulto a fow cattle In thu hnnds
of yard traders and tho demand from tho
country did not seem lo be nny too heavy,
particularly lor ine common ainus,
The supply nf western grass cattle has
been very light nil tho week nnd tho qual
ity of tho offerings poor. They have
fluctuated In about the sumo ivuy ns Is
about fi"c higher than In 1K)I.
HOOS Thero wus a good run or nogs
here today for a Saturday, and, as other
points reported a drop In values, tho mar
ket here opened up 2Uc lower. Some of
tho puckers were bidding UHfiCc lower, but
at thoso llgures they did not succeed In
getting many of tho hogs. Tho sales -were
mostly nt 5i.-V4 nnn icsieroay mo
bulk of the hogs sold ut J4.R5 nnd $1.87. so
that today's market Is Just nbout 2Vic
lower. A few of tho choicer grades
brought as high us JI.87H today, or 2',o
lower than yesterday's best price. Tho last

CII1CAOO. Dee. IB. Orain anil provision
markets were notable only for their dull
ness today. Wheat closed unchanged, corn
5ic lower, oats n shndo down and provisions
ti shade to 2Vic down.
Wheat was stagnant. Slay opened un
changed at 735ic. selling between 7314c nrd
73ic, mid closed unchanged at 73Uc. The
news received and the statistics posted were
of a charucter barely sulllclent to cuusu a
llpple on the placid speculative waters.
Cables and receipt,- were Influential neither
ono way nor thu other. In the absence of
Important Information, therefore, traders
preferred to play even till the passing of tho
nonuiiy season gives tliem an oppoiiuuny
lo start the new venr iintrammcled by con
tingencies which might arlso during tno
Christmas and New Year cessation of busi
ness. Tliut there Is u fairly strong under
tone to tho market wns tntide evident to
many by tho failure of the market to re-
rpond to the corn decline. New York re
ported 21 loads taken for export. Seaboard
clearances In wheat and flour were equal
to 670,iJ0 int. Primary receipts wero GttMiw
Int.. compared with 654,(00 bu. last year.
SUnneiiiiulls and Dulutli reported 412 cars,
ngiilnst 62T. last week and 305 a year ago.
i.ocai receipts wero lib cars, a 01 coniruci
grade.
Corn was no moro Inclined to the stren
uous Itfo than was Its neighbors. Tho mnr
ket ruled dull till the last fifteen minute",
when what looked like an organized raid
was made and tho market turned weak.
Slay sold between 36Hc and 35o, closing
'4c lower at 35-c. Receipts wero 416 cars,
110110 of contract grade. Country offerings
wero moderate. Seaboard clearances wero
1,105,000 bu.
The oats market maintained Its reputation
for dullness, tnido being Hat from stnrt to
finish. Receipts were 1C6 curs. May sold
between 23u and 23c and closed u shade
lower at 23c.
Provisions wero dull nnd sternly, but in
nocent of features In 11 speculative- way.
Prices held mainly because there was no
pressure 011 the market. January pork
sold between $12.30 and $12.25 and closed
2540 lower nt $12.25; January lard betwee-i
je.wi ami ju.sta. closing 254c down at w.iwtt,
