LONDON. Doc. 15. Several depressing
factors affected tho Stock exchange early
In th week: business was consequently
dull, although tho outlook ciui hardly bo
considered omlnnus. The money mnrket In
dearer with the approach of tho cml of
the year, but there In Htilllclcnt money
furthcoming to meet requirements with
out serious Inconvenlenco,
American shares were adversely affected
by the break In copper anil were lint on tho
A.iih(u Wlir rumor anil In spite of ihe as
urnnceH from olllclal (itiartcrs as to tho
Iniptobablllty of an outbreak.
Home mils were depressed on tho un

other hand, wero favorably affected by
tho successes In .South Africa and tho
prospect of a large Increase of stamps In
the Hand.
Considerable lntcre.it Is felt In tho In
dustrial department In tho dotation of tho

object of lighting the American Invaders.
This company has an Immense capital of

This Is adversely criticised In some quar

ADVISES SELLING ON RALLIES
Henry Clou I rum ('Million In 11 n -
lliK t'lltll ltcniljlltllicnl l,eel
In Iteiielied.
KBW YORK, De. I5.tsiperlul.)-In his
weekly review of Wall street Honry Clews,
heud of tho hanking house of Henry Clows
& Co., says:
Liquidation has been i 1 1 c extensive dur
ing tho past week, due ehlelly to two
causes, tinner money and the collapse In
cuper securities. 'I ho decline In tho lat
ter, of course, forced the selling of good
stocks to protect accounts; hence tho
weakness of tho better class of securities.
There was less resistance to declines than
wltnnssrd during tho summer months,
though whether tills was duo to free sell
lug or willingness of tho market leaders to
poind u moderate degreo of liquidation Is
u matter of doubt. There Is no question,
however, that tho future of tho market will
Le lienellted by the present reaction. An
advance could not be conducted without .1
lresh start, and a fresh start was Impos
sible except at a lower level and with Hew
blrod. There Is plenty of money seeking
Investment, but not at top prices. Those
vhn have largo sums to Invest anil whoso
operations must bo depended upon for u
successful bull movement are not likely to
buy at the end of a rise. If, therefore, tho
powers who control the market and who
uro vitally Interested In higher prices have
now willingly permitted tho market to re
spond naturally to actual conditions, nud
this seems to bo so, they have acted wisely.
It was the Interferencu with the natural
swing of tho murkets at the time of tho
Vnltod Htates Steel strike, tho corn crop
domugc, tho death of President Melvlnloy
ar.il other untoward events that brought
tho stock market Into tho condition of
deadlock which It has endured for the last
two mouths. Mad a recession of S to 10
points been permitted, between say July
and October, we might now have been on
tho evn of a legitimate bull campaign. In
stead, the market seems to bo now tardily
nspondlng to drawbacks which cannot be,
Ignored.
Ono Important feature which is not satis
factory Is tho occasional declines In ex
potts which -we hnvo repeatedly referred
to. Tho decline In exports of manufacture!!
Is especially lcgrettublc, and seems likely
to continue, for Europe Is not In a condi
tion to buy short crops with freedom ex
cipt food products which short crops
abroad compel her to purchase. Interna
tional trade rotations nro anything but
satisfactory nt tho moment, tho constant
threats of tariff wars and retaliation being
simply an expression of economic stress.
This Is the dark sldo of tho ptcturo con
tiasted with our own oxtruordlniiry pros
perity, which still continues with wonder
ful momentum, but which has been too
rapidly discounted In the stock market.
Tho monetary situation at tho moment Is
tintavornblo, high rat en seeming probable
until nfter preparations for .January dis
bursements, which will be exceedingly
havy. Hank reserves are at a very low
bb and some sharp contraction of loans
will bo necessary to maintain tho surplus
nbovu legal requirements. Gold exports at
this time aro iinsual and, of course, exert
an unfavorable effect, being additional
proof of l ho changes going on In our Inter
national trndo nud tluauclal relations, As
largo sums hnvo been withdrawn for un
derwriting purposes tho only relief that
can como to the New York market Is
through forced liquidation and tho return
of funds from tho Interior, whero money
hns been relatively cheaper and moro
uhundant than here.
Tho effect of tho corn crop damage will
scon bo moro visibly felt In vurlous ways.
Already there has been an Important de
crease In corn receipts at western prlmnry
markets, and tho exports of corn during
tho cloven months of tho current year havo
been only 99,6f0,ooo bushels, against 167,000,
Ooo bunhcls tho hiiiiio tlmo last year a de
crease of not far from 60 per cent. Short
crops of corn and cotton aro not elements
of prosperity, no matter how much com
pensation growers may receive In bettor
prices, nor how much tho loss may bo
rcunternctcd by business activity In other
directions, Truo prosperity Is based on
uhumlanco, not scarcity.
Tho reaction may not be pleasant, but It
will bo beneficial. Readjustment Is neces.
sary to changed conditions. The United
States Is still enjoying great prosperity,
particularly In certain sections; but tho
progressive movement Is less uniform than
Mx or twelve months ngo. tho crest of tho
wnvo has been reached In some quarters
and recessions nro duo If wo are to have a
healthy stock market and nctlvo and sub
stantial mercantile markets. Thoro aro
signs that the market leaders nppreclato
theso facts, and that the downward ten
dency Is being assisted by manipulation.
When the market has been tested the weak
spots discovered and now blood and now
capital admitted, wo may expect a recov
ery. Hut tho upward turn is not yet In
sight and stocks aro likely to bo a good
sale on nil sharp rallies.
Tho only thing that will adjust, tho
money situation with tho banks in connec
tion with their reserves Is liquidation In tho
siock margei, as tnrnugn mat process
only at this tlmo enn tho bank reserves bo
maintained. It Is this feature of the niton.
tlon that threatens lower prices for stocks
before wo get out of tho present rut of
mcney stringency. Tho receding prices In

BERLIN. Dee. If.. Tho rhlef strength of
the bourse during the last week was again
foreign rentes. Hoanlsb 4s tnklnir the first
phice and reaching their highest quotation
In a number of years. There were large
transactions In .Spanish 4s, ns well as In
Portuguese and Chinese rentes on tho in
vitation of outsiders.
Townrd tho end of the week thin denart-
men I weakened an a result of the Argen-tlne-Chlll
dllllelilty. German loans wero
llkowlso In good demand, scoring light
gains,
Tho good tone of the mnrket for nil llxetl
Interest-bearing securities Is materially
strengthened by tho continued ease of tho
money market and fr?sh evidence that tho
Irduntrlul crisis Is nht exhausted.
'I no week s reports from the Iron Indus
try nro nualn unfavorable, both tho oust
anil tho west representing conditions as
again growing worse. In the Slegcn dis
trict, wnero me prices on tire havo just
been reduced from 21 to 111 marks a ton,
tho blast furnaces voted vesterdav for a
50 per cent reduction of the output. Tho
wesi ucrman I'late syuuicnio mis voted it
further reduction on boiler plates to 165
n. a r Its.
The Colocne Vnlks Settling reiterates Its
statement to tho effect thnt the coke syndi
cate nas already decided to increase Its
nstrlctlon January 1 to 10 tier cent. All
sides ugreo that the consumers of coal anil
coko aro only ordering from hand-to-
mouth, hoping for better terms later.
Among tho American securities Ca
nadians only attracted attention during
tho last week, but Americans followed
New York wllllimlv. Tho Frankfurter
Zrltung asserts that tho German market
generally Is growing more Independent of
Now York, adding the rising money rates
at New Yotk, Ihe gold exports from that
city and tho American iron market re
ports nave an remained ror some tlmo past
without Influence hero. Our market Is
evidently trying to stand moro upon Its
own feet.
Other authorities maintain that tho rein-
tlvo firmness of German Iron shares, not
withstanding the gloomy prospect In Ger
many. Is duo largely to American renortn.
Tho National Xeltung expresses this hellof
and adds thu It awakens unpleasant sen
sations In Europe to see how tho Culled
States dominates Euroiicnn cointrles In nil
departments of business activity.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11. Operators In tho
stock market placed n favornblo Interpre
tation upon todny's bank statement and
bought slocks briskly nfter Its nppearance.
As prices roue over last night's level heavy
selling to reullze was encountered, which
carried prices buck from tho best. The of
ferings diminished nt the decline and tho
close was llrm at a, level generally slightly
above that of last night. Previous to tho
bank statement the mnrket was dull nnd
hesitating" and governed largely by the er
ratic fluctuations in Amalgamated Copper,
That stock opened with running sales of
6.2W shares at 65l4j6, compared with 6614
nt last night's close. It declined to 6414,
breaking the low record nnd checked tho
advancing tendency In other stocks. Tho
Inst price was 6514, n net loss of n point for
the day. The stock went Sc lower than last
Saturday, compared with a high price early
In the week, moro than 10 points over laBt
Saturday's low level,
The sentiment regarding tho stock was
much confused, and brokers usually cred
ited with acting for Insiders both bought
and sold tho stock. The decline In cash re
serves of the banks was about $1,000,000
less than was expected, The liquidation In
tho speculative markets was rellected In tho
loan contraction bf $11,178,100, which showed
an encroachment on the surplus of $1,010,
ir. Tho transfer of money to New Orleans
through the sublreasury was continued
today nnd foreign exchnngo hero hard
ened, but money was easier In London and
tho price of American eagles declined 3.
Itiillrnnd bonds have been (illltc active
and Irregulnr, The United States old und
new 4s unit the 6s advanced 4 per cent over
tho closing cull of laBt week.
Tho Commercial Advertisers London
llnauclal cablegram says: American shares
were moderntely steady, although tele
graphic communication Is still disorgan
ized. Wabash, Atchison, Haltlmore & uhlo
and St. l'atil were the best features.

CATTLE Tho receipts of catttlo this
week havo been about normal, as there Is
but llttlo variation from cither last week
or from the corresponding week of last
year. Packers wero all liberal buyers, but
still tho tendency of prices was downward,
particularly on the less dcslrablo grades.
That, however, was the case at all murket
points and particularly at Chicago.
There havo been quite n fow corn-fed
steers Included In the receipts from dny to
day and some of tho cattle have been
good enough to sell ns high as $7.00. The
cattlo that aro selling frum SCO) up aro
probably not over 101il5c lower than they
wero a week ago and In somo cases that
class of cattle havo sold fully as high
as they did a week ngo. The commoner
grades and warmed-up cattle, however,
havo declined fully lBliinc. It has been nn
uneven mnrket this week, as prices wero
stronger the llrst of the week nnd then
Inter on values took a drop and on Friday
thcro was a stronger market. For that
reason prices at tho close of the week wero
moto or less uneven. Fair to good cattlo
sold largely from $5.50 to $0.00, with tho less
desirable grades from $5.50 down.
Tho cow market also took a drop this
week nnd tho general market may be
uuoted a big 25c lower. Tho choicer grades
are perhaps not over 10U25c lower, but tho
medium grades nnd dinners nro 251(40a
lower for tho week. Oood to cholco fed
cows may bo quoted from $3.75 to $4.60 and
heifers nro selling ns high as $5.00. Fnlr
to good cows aro worth trom $3.00 to $3,75
und common kinds sell from $3.00 down to
$1.75.
Thero has been a good demand this week
for choice fat bulls selling from $3.75 up
and prlcen are about the same as they
wero a week ago. Tho half-fat kinds, how
ever, and common grades are fully 25c
lower and buyers nro very Indifferent. Venl
cnlves aro about steady and a choice veal
would probably sell at right around $6.00.
Stags arc also about steady.
Thero havo been comparatively few
stockers and feeders on sale this week
nnd tho demand has been sufllcient to tako
tho better grades at good llrm prices. Com
mon cattlo havo been neglected all tho
week and. sellers havo found It a dllllcult
matter to dispose, of such kinds nt nny
price, Vnlues nn that class of stock aro
barely steady for tho week.
The season for rnnge cattlo Is practically
closed. A few cars arrive, most every day,
nut tho bulk of them are cows, In most
cases tho range cattlo Uncinate nbout tho
same as tho natives, though It Is very
evident thnt packers aro not particularly
anxious for tho steers that are offered.
The quality, though, Is far from choice.
HOGS Receipts Of hogs today wero
fairly liberal for tho last day of tho week,
Trmle was a little moro active today than
It has been for tho lust severnl days, and
tho bulk was disposed of In fairly good
season, The bulk of the hogs sold In about
the samo notches as they did yesterday,
but 1J was noticeable that there wus not
as many cholco heavyweights nor as many
extremely lightweights as thero wero yen.
tcrday. Tho market opened up with tho
heavier hogs strong to 6o higher. They
sold largely from $6.30 to $0.62(4. Good
mixed hogs brought fully steady prices
with yesterday and sold mostly from $6.15
to $6.30. Tho light mixed hogs sold largely
from $6.00 to $0.15, with tho common light
stuff going from $6.00 down. Tho lighter
hogs, iih usual, wero left mostly till tho
close, and trading wns not as actlvo on the
Inst end of the market ns It was on the
opening.
Tho supply of hogs for the week has been
fnlrly liberal, though not quite ns heivy
ns Inst week. There Is, however, n gnln
over the cot responding week of last year.
Tho tendency of prices has been upward
and values are now I5o to 20c higher than
they were at the close of last week. Tho
most noticeable featuro of the trado hns
been the wide range of prices, and com
mission men aro warning their pntrons to
remember that tho light hogs hell con
siderably lower than tho heavyweights.

SHEEP Tho supply of sheep at thru
point tho past week has not been excesslvo.
As will bu noticed from the tnblo of re
ceipts given nbove thoro Is a decrease both
as compared with last week and alsg with
the corresponding week of last yenr The
demand for the better grades of both fat
sheep .mil lambs hns been fully equal to
the supply, so that the mnrket Is fully as
high ns it was a week ago. It there Is
nny change at all It Is in the wny of
stronger prices. A good bunch of fat
lambs, It is thought, would sell as high as
$S.(i, but they, ot course, would have to be
choice.
Tho feeder trade has been Very unsatis
factory all the week. Not many havo
arrived, but sellers have found It it dllll
cult matter to dispose of what did arrlvo
at nliythlng like satisfactory prices. Thero
Is almost no demand for them at nil. o
that sellers have to tako what thev can
get for th-m and prices are now at thu
lowest point of tho season.

anticipated. holesnlers shipped out more
fiVlV1" l."t WKvk tM,'' "ve for some
little time, nnd according 10 all reports
the outlook for this coming week Is wrv
encouraging. Traveling men siiy that tr.-d'o
In the country Is very brisk and that re
tailers stocks nro going to pieces nt 11
rapid rate. Until tho last few days tho
weather hns not been cold enough to bring
heavy weight goods Into very heavy dc
mand, and as a result all the trade on
those lines Is coming In In a bunch There
Is no longer nny doubt but what merchants
will bo able to sell fully as much winter
stock this year as usual, and If a hard
winter should be experienced from this
time on they would probably sell much
more than usual. It Is confidently ex
pected by Omaha Jobbers that collections
will Improve Immediately, as 11 result of
the better trado In the country. Collec
tions have not been in bad shape nt anv
tlmo this season, but still a good many
request for extensions have been received
since the tlrst of September.
Advance business t also In a most sat
Isfnctory condition. It may safely bo ald
that Jobbers In almost all lines have more
orders for spring shipment than they ever
had before. Since the colder weather set
In traveling men have been getting a good
many orders which they could not capture
before, nnd It Is thought thnt the good
condition of trade at the present time will
bring In tunny more advance- orders.
The markets have been rather devoid of
Important changes during the week. A few
lines havi lluetuated back nnd forth to
some extent, but none of the changes t
of any great slgnlllcnnce. The market
us 11 whole are In a good, healthy condi
tion nnd Jobbers arc nil predicting good
llrm prices for some time to come.

There hns been no quotable change In the
sugar mnrket sluco Inst report, but con
dltlons nre such 11s to lead to the belief
that higher prices will rule nt no very
distant dnte.
There was nn ndvnnre In California rai
sins Inst week amounting to t.fl?4c per
pound. Indications are that still higher
prices will rule In the neur future. The
prune mnrket Is also tinner on the coast
nnd ovapornted npples nre higher than thry
woro 11 week ago. Thero has been con
siderable Improvement In tho demand for
dried fruits during the Inst few days mil
Jobbers nro shipping out considerable
stock for the Christmas trade.
In farinaceous goods there hns been nn
advance In beans amounting to .tlidc per
bushel. On account of light receipts higher
prices nre predicted nfter tho turn of the
year. Both liackngo nnd bulk oatmeal hns
been marked up owing to tho high price
ruling in oats. Case goods advanced loMc
nnd for bulk goods tho advance amounts to
25r per barrel.
Tho entire lino of ennned goods Is In a
very strong position, but thero were no
quotable changes last week at the rlrv
markets. Tomatoes In particular nre llrm
nnd nn ndvanco has tnkon place In tho
enst. Prices nt this point nro tho mmo ns
they wero n week ngo.
As previously reported stocks of nuts nro
being rapidly depleted nnd several lines
advanced shnrply last week.
So far ns tho trmle sttuntlon Is concerned
local Jobbers sny there has been a grem
Improvement during the last few days. All
lines of seasonable goods aro now moving
out nt a very rnpld rate nnd Christmas
goods In particular aro In big demand.
Cotton (Joints Strnnu.
Trado with local dry goods Jobbers cion
tlnues very brisk. All lines for current uso
nro In big demand, ns tho cold woatner
has stimulated trade In tho country to n,
mnrked degree. Immediate business Is
now better than It has been for a good
many weeks past. Not only Is the reorder
trade good, but all kinds of holiday lines
nro also moving out freely, so that local
Jobbers nro well pleased with present con
ditions. Advnnco orders for shipment after Jan
uary 1 nro also coming In very freely.
Snles hnvo extended to practically nil lines
of spring specialties, laces, embroideries,
white goods, wnsh goods and furnishing
goods,
Tho mnrket Is still In n very sntlsfnctory
erudition and It Is very evident that tho
tendency of prices on cotton goods Is up
ward, Tho advance of Jo In raw cotton
has given n very strong undertone to tho
market on practically all cotton goods.
Brown and black goods In particular aro
In n, strong position nnd higher prices nro
being freely predicted for tho near future.
Denims nud shirtings havo boon marked
up during the week and still further ad
vances nro nntlclpnted. The expected nd
vnnco In Amcrlenn prints bus not yet tnken
place, but In view of tho fact that they
are '4c under the market local Jobbers aro
confident thnt nil ndvance will tnkn nlnen
In tho near future.
Ilnrilivilre .Mnrket DiieliiuiKeil.
TTnrdwnre inbbers nbm enlnvntt 11 irnml
liberal, patronagn last week. All kinds of
cold weather goods wero In big demand
and wholesalers wero ru'ied with orders
for immediate shipment. All Indications nt
mo present time nro tnnt jonners win do
a rushing business from now until tho
holidays In all snsonnbIo lines.
Thero Is practically no market news to
report. Nearly all classes of goods aro In
exactly the samo position they wero a
week ago nnd so far as known there nro
no Important changes anticipated, Tho
feeling seems to be llrm nil along the lino
and thcro Is a great deal of confidence In
future vnlues.

Merchnnts who handle boots, shoes and
rubber goods sold enough stock Inst week
to go n long wny toward mulling up for
what they did not sell previous to that
tlmo. So far as can be learned tho retail
stores out through tho country did a rush
lng business nnd Judging from the way
duplicate and slzlug-up orders havo been
coming ill local jonners aro inclined to
think tho renorts truo. Tho sudden drnn
In temperature made It necessary for peo.
pie to havo heavy footwear and as a re
sult both leather nnd rubber goods sold
much better tnau tney nave at any tlmo
this siason. From the localities whore
thero was much snow arctics wero in enor
mous demand and felt boots havo nlpo sold
very freely. Jobbers uro naturally In good
spirits nnd nre no longer complaining
nbout tho lack of seasonable weather. All
they ask for Is a normal winter and If
they got that they say they will, break all
previous records ior amount or stock sold
by a safe margin,
Advnnco business Is also to the llklnir
of wholesalers and thoy nil ngreo that they
havo sold moro stock this year for spring
delivery than over before.
iiio mai'Kct ror leatlier goods continues
very strong and It is freely predicted that
present prices will be easily maintained for
somo time to como.
Fruits nun rmliii'r
Thero wns a fairly good demand last
week for fruits and vegetables, thotmli thu
cold weather toward the close of tho week
mado it a dllllcult mntter to shin perlslmhln
goons. iuorciiuniH uro naturally noldlng
back their orders until the time when they
will nred them for their Chrlstmns trndo
and for that reason Jobbers nro looking
for a big demand this coming week Thero
wero very fow changes In nrlces nnd noun
of nny Importnncn. Just nbout tho snmn
lines are on tho market as wero offered
11 week ago. It seems to be the general
impression tnui in case tno woatner con
tinues cold for some llttlo tlmo notntnes
will sell higher than they nro at tho pre
ent tlmo.
Prrstnl mil cations now aro that lata
buyers of Christmas trees will havo somo
dltllrulty In getting their orders filled. Sales
so far havo been unusually large nnd stocks
aro running low. Commission men nro very
cauuoim anoui stocKing 1111 very neavuy
on that class of goods for tho reason
that Christmas decorations left over aro a
total loss. They aro advising their friends
to buy early.
