tome time the market held fairly well ui
the decline , shorts doing a hit of coverlnp
und the scalpers buying against putH. The
report of a heavy Increase In the world1 !
visible. corning when It had been expected
there would be little change In thu Mgurcs ,
turned the tide against the price and May

the close was Urn ) . A trlflo WIIH nipped off
the price shortly after the opening , but thin

principally to the small country offerings

NEW YORK. Dee. 12. The stork marke
displayed n feverish tone .is a consequent- !
of the violent shakedown of yesterday
Although there was some belated llqulda
ton ! prlros were not without support at anj
time nnd where breaches were made Ii
values the character of the buying nt tin
lifeline tnnde. It look as though the manlpu
latlott for n fall was for the purpose 01
taking on stocks. There was u notnbli
volume of cotnmlMlin house buying , whlcl
Indicated that outsiders had been nttrnotei
by the lower level of prices. There wen
points In the Industrial list which displayed
notable resistance nil day and during the
later part of the trading some positive
strength. Some of thix sharp declines In thi
railroad list , notably In the grangers , were
1 attributed to a shifting of holdings fron ;
that group Into some of the industrials. The
prnnqe-rs touched lower prices than In the
demoralization of yesterday and they were
practically the only stocks In the list tc
do so.
That there Is still n large nnd nggrosslvr
benr party In the market was evident.
Their tactics were moderately successful In
the morning , especially In the cases of
Tennersee Coal and .Metropolitan . Street
Hallway , which were forced down GVfc ami
54 , respectively.
'Money nt no time ruled over S per rent
anil in the afternoon was offered down to
4 per cent. The Impression was abroad that
some of the very large Individual operators
had become possessed of n liberal mipply ol
funds and were taking on stccks. Traders
Generally turned to the bull side and
marked up stocks to the neighborhood of
last nlpht's level and In some Instances
materially above It. 'Prominent specialties
showed recoveries from the le-w point rang
ing from 2 to over 5 points. Sugar. Brook
lyn Transit and Tobacco \vere "specially
notable In the rally. In the railroad list
the trunk lines , the Pae-ltlcs and one or
two of the coalers rose from H4 to 2 and
Southern Railway preferred rallied 2U.
After touching 139V4 Sugar suddenly broke
4 points to near the lowest nnd very mud
unsettled the whole list.
Reactions were confined to fractions out
side of Tobacco and Brooklyn Transit am
a few other Industrials. The closing was
thus made Irregular and -with mixed ne
change ? . The action of the directors of tin
Federal Steel company In declaring the
dlvfllend of 3 per cent on the preferred
stock , thus making the full G per cent for
the year and clearing the way for prom
ised dividends on the common next yenr
was not announced urrtll the close of busi
ness. but It explained the relative llrmncss
of the Iron and steel stocks. Sentiment ns
to the future of the stock Is lUIll con
flicting ami unsettled. In view of the con
tinuance of the factors which have re
stricted the money supply nnd led to the
forced liquidation.
The bond market was less active than
stocks nnd prices were comparative ! )
steady. Total sales , par value. $1,225 , COO.

The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
here were flat on continued dear money
till near the clos ? , when a rumor was
brulttd about that the Bank of France had
agreed to relcnse 800,000 gold to satisfy the
demand from5outh America and to advance
1.000,000 to 3.000.0(10 ( prold to the Bank of
England If required. Ready credence was
given to these reports. a.- was shown by an
all-round smart recovery In stocks. Ameri
cans were also on a parity untrl 1 p. m. .
until selllncr orders from New York eavnr
In. After the. Wall street opening further
wiling orders came In and the close wns
irregular and most -prices were lower.
Money was stiff. Hie rate for Americans
being 8 per cent. For St. Paul 7'4 was
HRked , for Pennsylvania 7 per cent. Dis
counts were firm at tht > bank rate. The
bank bought 27.060 In Froaoh coin and

CATTL.K Among today's offerings of cat
tie were somu better steers than have beei
seen here In several days past. The mar
ket on all desirable kinds of killing cattle
was about steady. Buyers peumed to wan
the good steers and most of then ) change *
hands early , the best here bringing $ C.OO
and $6.05. Holders of half fat steers com
plained that no one seemed to be anxious
to buy , but , as has been explained fre-
< iuentfy of late , buyers are very apt to
discriminate against half fat and warmed-
up cattle whenever there are better cattle
In the yards.
The market on cows nnd heifers did not
show much change. It wan. In fact , in
Jii ! < t about thn same shape ns yesterday
Hint Is. good kinds were nought nfter , while
the less desirable were not any too active.
There wa , however , a fair demand , so that
the most of the offerings changed hands In
rnn nnnhlp Kpnsnll.
Only a few Htockers and feeders were to
be found In the yards this morning , while
the market was practically unchanged.
There was n moderate demand und the de
sirable kinds changed hands In reasonable
season. Representative nalcs :

HOGS So tar tins week receipts of hogs
lmve > been light ns compared with previous
weeks , while the local packing demand has
been good. As n result of this condition
of affairs the market this morning opened
2'yflSc ' higher and nctlvo at theadvance - .
The early arrivals clmnged hands on that
basis , u considerable proportion of the early
reported being nt J3.i2'4i3.97li ; ' , u *
. against W.Wtf3.92Ui yesterday.
i The situation nt ChlcitRo was not so fa
vorable. and when advices from that point
Indicated that values were weak to 60 lower.
with the bulk of the .hogs selling but llttlo
above the prices prevailing ; it ( Ills point ,
buyers were very much Inclined to lower
their hands. In conseiiuene-e the market
closed easier , with a good shnro of the early
morning nilvnnro lost. Aa sellers nil worked
hard to get tln morning prices the later j
market wna r.ithor slow. Representative
