EW YORK STOCKS AKD BOXDS, Volnnie of Business Again Decreases and Prices Fall Once More. NEW YORK, Dec. . Today's transae titms in stocks were smaller than those of yesterday. Only a few got as much as a pi. nil away irom last rile lit s close at any tune during the day. There was a slight advance in the morning In sympathy with special movements In one or two stocks, but a reaction In the afternoon carried the level of prices below last night all around and the market closed easy, but dull. (Julie an active speculation In sugar was the principal influence In saving the day's deal ings i nun actual stagnation. The move ment waa accounted lor by the announce ment during the day ot an advance In prices of renned sugars. After this an nouncement the stocK reacted. The em phatic ulMcialmera of recent rumors of a compromlfe among the warring copper fac tions anu a late reaction lit the London copper market today combined to cause a reuctlon in Amalgamated. The action of these stocks had a sympathetic effect on the whole market, owing to the preponder ance of the dealing In them, in the late atternoon Louisville At Nashville was con spicuous for a drop of 14 below last night, lodays developments In tue money market offered no prospect of monetary relief and until the prospect appears no revival in speculation Is expected. The subtreasury took from the money market $1,418,000, ringing its total absorption since the last oank statement up to 2,38t,0iio. The sub treasury also had a credit at the clearing nouee this morning indicating a continued drain from the money market. Late In the day rumors were current, without connr- matlon, of a further shipment of gold to be made to South America. Today's sterling exchange market here was lirm In spite of additional offerings of loan Dills and an other day's large foreign demand, both for wheut and cotton, but the sterling rate at Furls reacted 14 centimes, thus raising the gold export level of sterling. The call loan market was not quite so stiff, owing partly to the almost total lack of demand, but sixty and ninety-day loans were made at 7 per cent and for four months both 7 and 6 per cent were paid. Holders ot stocks are very loth to market securities, owing to the poor absorpuve power of the market. On the other hand, there is little Incentive to pay about t per cent for money to hold mlirnad slocks at nrices wh-ch yield gen erally less than a per cent. The bond mar ket was little more than nominal anu 1110 movement was irregular. Total sales, par value, $8,505,000.

As a result It was nearly noon before much business was transacted. There werj quite a few corn fed steers Included in the receipts and packers were very bearish. Reports from other points were unfavorable to the selling Interests, so that buyers succeeded in taking off a little. The decline In most cases was right around a dime, but the market was un even. Some of the cattle that just suited the buyers did not seem to be much of any lower than yesterday, while some Inferior grades were more than a dime lower. It was late In the day before anything like a clearance was made. The cow market was also very slow In getting started, and the general tendency of prices was downward. The decline could be put at right around a dime, though the demand for canners seemed to be In pretty good shape and prices on that class of stuff did not seem to be much of sny lower. Bulls, veal calves and stags were all rather weak, in sympathy with the decline on steers and cows. The stocker and feeder market wss In fairly good shape. The demand was appar ently about equal to the supply, so that anything desirable sold without much trouble at steady prices as compared with yesterday. The common truck was, of course, hard to move at any price. Western beef steers were In very light supply, but the few that did arrive sold a little lower than yesterday. Range cows were also about a dime lower, but stockers and feeders of good quality held about steady. Kepresentative snies: BKKF STEERS. No. I.. 13.. 1.. il.. 42.. U.. At. Pr.
