I'rnr of Mure Mrliiucnt Ciinill tlon Cnnes Preenutlminry SellliiKT. , NEW YORK, Dec. 12. -Speculative liqui dation continued In the stock market, today, Indured by the stringency in money, which ran tho rail loan rate up 12 per cent nt one time, and forced a good share of liquida tion. Othtr selling was precautionary In fear of still more stringent conditions In the money market. A very material element In the day s mnrket was the short selling and beurs who became emboldened by the sag in the market and put out largo short lines. When the. market turned the bears found ihey hud been following the decline too closely nnd they helped on the rally by bidding ugalnst each other to get back slocks. The rally came when tho banks enme Into tho exchange for tho llrst tlmu Into In the day and ortered largo sums at the prevail ing rate, which wns at the high level. With tho satisfaction of the demand by theso ofterlngs the rato fell away and the pres. sure on the slock market wns quickly re laxed. The dealings by tho bears wns the one element In tho rally. This wns not fully held nnd tho market closed irregular. The few fractional advances which hud hi-eii rsinbllshed on the rally were wllicd out before tho close mid losses aru shown throughout. Them Is nothing obscure nbout the situa tion nr Hiii ninnev market. With stirnlus reserves shown to bo below $7,0OO,l"J0 In last Saturday's bunk statement, and with largo seasonable requirements for credits known to be impending, 11 was onvinus inai inc mniiev siitmlv would bo limited. The outgo or gold Is continuing, in spite of tho need fur money, today showing a withdrawal of $5(0,000 from the subtreasury lor shipment on Saturday, said to bo for Hrazll. Tho re newed demand tor the Interior Is also an unexpected development and was continued today with tho transfer of $100,000 to Nuw Orleans. 'he redemptions of government bonds nro not offset by the requirements of tho suotreasury, as is shown by yesterday s net gain by the Institution of $138,000, in spite of payment In redemption ot bonds of upward of $1,600,000. Today's payment for the same account of over JoOO.OnO there fore affords little relief from tho drain upon tho market on account of tho routine sub treasury operations. The available supply of government bonds lor redemption nws grown exceedingly scarce, nnd not much further relief Is expected on that account. The anticipated payment of government Interest will not bo available to the money MiurUnt until iinxt. week. The speculative liquidation, both In slocks and In grains, is presumably affecting some nutomatlc relief to me money situation, uui uuku numn which nre taken out of tho call loan mar it urn nliii-eil lii tlmo loans, rates for which havo ndvnnced to C per cent shorter periods. Tho net eneci upon mu loan uu counts of tho banks Is therefore proble matical. .... . ., Resides the general influence of the money situation thcro was somo special .i.niiiitirai Himtvii hv New York Central nt a decline of S on account of the restric tion ot action by the directors of the an- dcrbllt ronilB at louay s meetings to ii -.......... 1... th.. illvlilend rate 011 Canada Southern.
