Belief That Expected Redandaney mt

NEW YORK. Dee. 11. The withdrawal
of effective support for prices, except In
spotty and Irregular fashion, and tne dull,
yielding tendency were the reflection of
disappointment at the tardiness with
wblrh the dislocation of financial affairs
Is working towvds correction. It in clear
that a apeculatlve party which started to
advance prlcea and hold them over the
end of the year counted upen Initiation
before that time of tha reflux of cash
reserves in the larger banking renteis
nd a relaxation' of the stringency in all
departments of the money market, which
is a consequence, uonndence is unim
paired -that, at a given stsge of the le
storatlon of credits, there will be a aui
den and heavy reflux Into bank reserves
and something like redundancy of sup
plies in tne credit markets.
The Impression has taken hold of the
speculative element In the stock market,
however, that a miscalculation hfta been
made of the period of arrival of these
conditions, ana revised anticipations tra
disposed to put it forward beyond the
turn of the year. The tone of admonition
of some of the banks to speculative bor
rowers snd the running up or tne can
money rate this week carry this unmis
takable intimation. With a heavy detlclt
below tha Ipsal reserve reaulrement still
existing for the clearing house banks, with
the persistence or tne premium on cur
rency In New York and the continuance
of shipments of currency to interior bank
ing centers, to sey nothing of an unascer
tained volume of clearing house certifi
cates to be reckoned in the New York
banking position, it is borne in upon the
minds of speculators that present antici
pation of easing conditions to come might
prove premature. This Idea is strength-,
ened hr the contemplation of tho large re
nulrements to lie met before the end of
the year -for maturing mercantile pftper
and ror wnicn mesns mini do iouhu
Insure keeping afloat commercial enter-
irises. It is to Be rememoeren inei in
.-.ma.t . i,h rv,i achieved bv
the New York clearing house banks last
week represented a bslance of receipts of
foreign gold over further large shipments
in Via IntarlAr and that these shipments
aa rAin, nn In anlta of the apparent
strength of Interior banks exhibited in tne
reports to the controller or tne currency
as of December 8. To keep open this
antirca of rebanishment involves a strain
on foreign monsy centers, and the threst
of this is arousing some disquietude there.
The German position, especially, Is re
garded as delicate ana its passing eainr
of the year-end period will be greeted
with relief In all markets. The approach
f tha vaar-and. too. fflvea rlS9 tO discus
sion of various expected reorganizations
and retirements botn or nanka ana ox in
fluential Btock exchange firms, and denlsls
f manv nf ha rennrts do not enuruiy
deprive them of an influence on market
sentiment. Such topics are accountable
fur the special weakness shown in some

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were quite
liberal for Wednesday, but with very large
receipt at Chicago and liberal runs at
other market points. Advloes from all mar
kt were discouraging. Indicating light
demands and very slow trade with prices
very where lower. Buyers at thl point
were disposed to take their time ana wait
reports from otherpoints before doing very
muoh business. The result was that it
. m n'irr.v hefnra tha buyers went out
Into the yards at all and considerably later
then thai before thav aot down to business.
Packers all seemed to have order for a
few beef teers but, as noted above, ths
trade wa very low and it was late In
the day before anything like a clearance
was effected. There were some good cat
tle In sight, but even they were slow to
move, buyers and seller being wide
apart in their views. It wou d be sate
to quote the general market fully 1016o
lower tnan yesteruaj.
Cows and heifers were also extremely
.i.. anri Hull, and thev. too. were 1016
lower. Salesmen who were unfortunate
In having something that buyers did not
especially want found it very slow work
unloading.
This has been a very unsatisfactory
week In the stocker and' feeder division.
The country demand, which was quite
good lest week, has dropped down to a
very low point, with the result thut the
market h flattened out badly. Prices
enrlav Wert as much a 10UlrO
lowr and the trade wa a drag even at
tne aeciine. - i . ,

BH7EJ Receipts ot sheep were very
light today, only fifteen cars belhg reported
when the market open ad. Of thla number
five cars were Wyoming range feeder,' so
that the offerings of killers were very light
for thla point. Still the market- waa alow
and dull, there being an entire absenoe of
the Ufa And snap that -might reasonably be
expected to accompany such a light run.
Packers seemed to want a few good killers,
but their requirements were limited and by
no means urgent. Btlll receipts were so
light that hiust . everything changed hands
In very fair season In the morning. The
prioes paid did not show Any very great
change as ' compared with yesterday. A
reeder buyer paid -74.25 for range yearlings,
while fat yearlings brought tt-WiiH oo.
There were western fed lambs good enough
to bring 85.75, with a bunch of good natives
at 85.90 and a few native ewes at 84.10.
