Bldprable ns to Invite thp realizing of profits
toward the closing of the day. 1 his caused
.Iho market to run off tit the cost of a large
I part of the earlier gains established.
The November rtatement of SI. Paul's
parnlngs , showing HIP Increase In Ihe gross
earnings more t.i.in wiped out , with n re-1
suiting decrease In Ihe net return of over
$73.oi ) . hud a marked effect on the railroad
list , which declined sharply throughout.
The fall from the tup level In St. Paul was
l'"n and reached a. point In a number of other
railroad Miock * . The consequctico was a
mixture of net gains and losses. alth3Ugh
the market hardened In the Until dealings
on a demand from the shorts to cover their
contracts. Whllo the movement of prices
was largely due to professional manipula
tion , there was a good value of business
representing a continuance of substantial
demand from outside source ? through com
mission houses. The demand for small lots
of stocks continued In evidence , especially
on nny recessions in prices.
Thorn was no evidence of uneasiness over
the money situation and no pressure to sell
stocks. Although prices were lower , there
i was > no ovldence of any fear of distrust nt
| that point with the progress of the settle ,
ment. The money ultimtlon In New York
continued easy and confidence Is felt thn :
the short remaining pet Iod befotc the close
of iho year will he comfortably tided o\'er.
Some corporations are anticipating the
January 1 payments. Money Is coming to
New York from out-of-town pourecs , partly
In the form of returns on Christmas trade
to be deposited In the batiks , partly In'tho
form of remittances to make good losses on
stocks In the Into decline and partly for
InveFiinent In new accounts In the stock
market. ,
The special pressure for funds from Bos-
ion ha. " ! relaxed and New York exchange
at that center rene to par. This shipments
of gold announced for Saturday had little
effect on sentiment owing to the feeling
that forces are at work to oft'ivt this dra.n.
Bu.siness In the bond market was on a
fairly largo scale ami prices for the most
part advanced , but there were enough ex
ceptions to make the market Irregular. To

The Commercial Advertiser's London i
financial cablegram says : Bunlnrps In the
maikets here today was of very small pro
portions. Failures are still dreaded : one
.was annonncvd. Rut a further rise in con
sols ( which touched 99 = i , though closing at
99) ) and arrival of gold caused n strong lone.
Americans opened rather weak on profit-
taking sales , but the receipts of higher
prices from New York caused a rise and
the clos.ng was at the bent , Baltimore &
Ohio being particularly strong In the street.

CATTLE Today's supply of cattle was
small , consisting largely of odds and ends ,
a little of everything , but not much of
anything. Thorp were about fifteen loads
of cornfed cattln , mostly on the warmed
up order , nnd none ol Uiern good. The mar
ket wan a good deal Ifo * what It was yes
terday that is , the more rt-'Slrable of the
offerings selling al.out Htu < jJy but aside
from thnt the general tendency was lower.
Chicago came lower and that ( UJ uot help
this market any.
COWH and hellers sold In about. rti same
notches as yesterday , but it will tie re
membered that the market yesterday was
lOc lower on tbo common and medium kinds.
Stockers and fecdcrx were very K.'hf.a
and high. In fact , as high as nt any Urn * .
Anything ul all desirable In that line x
snapped up In short order by speculators ,
who apparently have a place for them.
