STRENGTH IN HAKEDIAH STOCKS Aanaal Report of Sonlhern Pacific Company Shows Rsrslagi of Thir teen Per Cent Money In De mand In London. NEW YORK. Deo. 14 Apart from Its slightly better tone todays' stock market differed In no essential feature from that of the preceding days. Ruslness was at much lower ebb, though displaying a broader tendency which took In such spe cialties as General Electric, Western Mary- and and American Beet Sugar, but the t ulk of the trading was limited as usual to less than a half score of active Issues, The annual report of the Southern Fa- clflo company for ISOMO, showing earnings at the rate of almost 13 per cent of the common stock, an Increase of about 3 per cent over the previous year, imparted a firmer tone to the Harrlman group. The gain, however, represented In large part the cash receipts by Southern Pacific for its former holdings of Wells-Fargo stock. Money In xndon was in excess of all demand and the lower private discount wss proDaDiy based on the expectation or a rur ther reduction of the bank rate tomorrow. A small addition to the Bank of England's gold holdings was announced. In this market London bought sparingly of Har rlman Issues, t'nlted States Steel and Amalgamated Copper. Foreign exchange advanced almost as sharply as It declined yesterday. Implying that tha fall was almost entirely of specu lative origin. Nevertheless, the rate Is still within the Import point and the belief that some engagement wll be made before the expiration of the year still pre vails. The bond market was steady. Total sales. par value, 81.659,000. United States bonds were unchanged. Number of sales ana- leading quotations on stocks were as follows: Balsa. HI ah- Law.

With still fur ther shrinkage In values reported this morning local buyer, were very slow about getting down to business, and It was late In the morning when the market was finally under way. In spite of the fact that early advice and conditions were all against the selling Interests, there was one thing In their favor, the local demand was good, while the supply was not burdensome. The result was that the market Instead of being weak, as it promised to be early, turned out strong to 10c higher and fairly active. Some right good yearlings for the Christ mas trade sold up to $7.15, the best price paid in some time. Cows and heifers were generally strong to as much as 10c higher In spots.

HOGS Receipts of hogs were very lib eral again today making the total for the three days the largest that It has been In some little time, although not so Inrge as for the corresponding period a year ago. Other markeis were also largely supplied and early messages generally Indicated a sharp break in prices all along the line. Under that Influence buyers here generally started out bidding 6ulOo lower, and they bought quite a number of hogs early on that basis. Later on as It became apparent that the local demand was very good and fully equal to or In excess of the supply, the marked firmed up very rapidly until It was fully steady with yesterday, the de cline being entirely regained. At the best time the trade was very active and the hogs changed hands at a rapid rate, every thing in sight being disposed of before 10 o'clock In the morning. A glance at the eaes will show that the decline was largely on the light hogs, a considerable string of the light loads hav ing sold yesterday at $7.60, with four or five loads at $7.65. Today there were com paratively few sales above $7.46. Heavy hogs on the other hand sold largely at $7.36iy7.40. with a sprinkling of the rough heavies under these figures. The bulk of all the sales was about the same as yes terday being $7.S6'ijvJ.45, and the market as a whole might be described aa a shade to 5c lower. No. Av. Sh. Pr. So. . 8h. rr.

While receipts consisted largely of sheep there was quite a sprinkling of lambs, but mostly on the heavy order. The demand for choice light lambs was good this morning, the same as it has been nearly every day of late and as there were very few of that kind In the yards the market did not show very much change, the best here selling up to $6.15. On the other hand heavy lambs were extremely hard to move and prices were 2Gc lower than yesterday. The market on wethers, yearlings and ewes was very dull and all of 26c lower than yesterday. Even at the decline buyers were not very anxious for the offerings owing to the unfavorable re ports received from their eastern houses. As compared with the close of last week It Is safe to quote the market on everything ex cepting only best light lambs at KkouOc lower.
