Ilrmer feeling was Imparted soon after by

Bteamera had been Used aa yet , meaning
only that many so fur chartered for shlp-
ttKnt of wtuat. It 'ilsD quoted Goodwin ,
the AtKcntlii' ' wheat authority , as saying

the statement that France would only need

NEW YORK Dec 15 Toda's market was
largely professional , Gnd In the contest be
tween the bulls and bears the former enlisted
IhrmseUes under tin banner of the coalers and
the latter made the traction stocks their main
resource The fortunes of battle shifted several
times during the 'lay and In the middle after
noon the bulU ceemed to have gained a decisive
advantage , the earlier marked losses in som-
special stocks having been almost entirely wiped
out and the bears apparently driven to cover.
In the last hour of trading , however , a larse
number ot loan * were suddenly called and In
replacing them the call loan rate stiffened
sharpy to 4 per cent at which rate a Urge
amount of money was placeThis Induced
liquidation , especially in stocks which Melded
u pront on the lias'a advan-e. The beam thus
encouraged renewed their attack on the tpe-
Ualtlei which had engrossed their attention all
day and uncovered loss orders on the wi } down
As a consequence ttui tide of battle was turned
completely and victor } Ky with the beara A
small part of the da ) ' Urge gains was left Ir
tsome of thu stocks which had hewn most early
strength , but In other leading shares earl } gains
were replaced by late looses
The scarcity of money U due to opemtlons
looking to the patnent tomorrow of an Instal
ment of about J8.6CO.COO en the Union Pacific
fale. The previous paments on this account ,
amounting to over JW.UOO.OOO. have been left on
deposit In New York banks , but tomorrow's pa ) ,
tnunt will no direct Into the treasury and be re
moved from the money market. Two additional
payments of an equal * amount " . * remain - * v to _ . . . . be . . . .
made , one on Uecemoer : u ana one on January
5 , and thli will be > paid directly Into the treasury - '
ury The payment b } the government on De
cember 24 cf thu maturing Pacific bonla whlcn
amount to over J29.POO.ooo , will be made by
checks , presumably on the New York deposits
to the government's credit
The movement of currenc } continues from New
YorK this week Indicating a still further decline
In New York cash reserve The tone of ster
ling exchange was pomewlut easier today but
did not rmpond to uny marked degree to the

the European bourses showed a good demand
there for those clocks. Atchlion preferred was
alto up over a point a ) one time The rise above
par of IIurl'nBton waa a further feature The
srecUil weakness of the local traction stocks was
due to the threatened competition of an under
ground syttem , and to the judicial decision at
Albany holding that consent of adjoining prop

dred nnd blx fresh loads being reported In
the jards The market -nus also In about
the = ame condition as jcsterday and a good
dell Wat was sald * In explanation of the
trade yesterday would apply equally well
today.
As was the case yesterdiy good comfe * !
beeves , Tvhlch were suitable for the making
of Christmas beef , and which were e r > cl-
ally attractive In the eyea of bu > ers , n'd
at good .strong prices Holders of Mich cat
tle had little trouble In llntltng bujers and
the offerings were mostly all taken In good
season. On the otner hand common and
medium cattle were neglected and In many
cascu It fan. hard work to get a bujer to
look at them The holdings , of such cattle
were not cleaned up until late , the trade
being a drag from the optsnlng until the
eloie , still values were fully steady
Tho.cow-market was simply a rellectlon of
the steer market Good , fat , heiferUh stuff
which was In demand for the Christmas
trade sold quickly at stiff prices and the
offerings met with ready takers. The
medium and common stuff sold , largely for
the reason that there was not much here ,
at about the same prices as prevailed yes
terday , - '
Stackers and feeders w ere fully steady and
If anytalng freer sellers than yesterday.
Then w. -somer countrv demand i.\hlch
stimulated buying considerably. A bunch
of western cvvvs' sold for feeders at $2.70.
