Market Wakes I n Vnder Irgent and Precipitate Selling; Movement. NEW YORK. Dec. 10. The market was awakened today from the condition of lethargy which has recently prevailed by an urgent and precipitate selling movement. Ttie selling gained in volume as tne oay parsed, until violent declines were forced In the Inst half hour of the trading. Tak ing of quick profits by room traders was the only source of buying and the closing was extremtly unsettled and active though above the lowest figures. Losses reached 3 points or over in a lew leading active stocKs, Including St. Paul, Pennsylvania. New iork Central. Reading, Manhattan and Amalgamated Copper. Tne losses genertlly ranged from 1 to over I ;iolnts. There were evidences of profes sional attacks on tne marset, out tne ne cllr.es In prices dislodged large stop-loss orders and Induced the regular selling of long stock by tired holders. The Immediate factor In causing the decline was tne si-.ip- ment of $l,uio,oou In gold to South America and the growing evidences of pressure In the money market. Liquidation did not appear to be forced by large calling of loans, as the call loan rate did not run above per cent, but apprehension that this measure would be adopted by the banks piayea a large part in the. decline. Besides the gold outgo, today's suhtreasury statement showed nearly $800,000 additional cash taken up In the money market. The inroads upon bank ing reserves since the last bunk statement have already risen to about $4,500,0u0. with promise of a continued drain. In the time money market additional difficulty was found in securing loans 011 any terms. The 6 per cent rate for all periods was purely nominal and the actual rate paiu was en tirely a matter of private treaty between borrower and lender and depended largely on claims of previous business association. The foreign exchange market was unaf fected by the gold engagement ana neia steady at yesterday's figures. New York exchange at Chicago fell back to 10c pre mium. The day s sales of grain for export proved somewhat disappointing and dis turbed the hopes of an early replenishment of foreign exchange market from that source. The small receipts of cotton tended to the same conclusion. Favorable factors were Ignored in the trading, and the weakness of the particular stocks atiected by special news develop ments had a sentimental effect in weaken ing the whole market. Thus the agreement reached in the Colorado Fuel dispute was greeted with a 5V4-D0lnt drop in that secur lty, the argument being that the settlement removed the stock from the Influences of a market contest for control. The circulation of a syndicate contract Inviting deposits of Hocking Valley stock for the purpose of returning the preferred stock and of voting the common stock for consolidation, mergers or other combine linn, carried a nrettv broad Intimation of plans maturing for the consolidation of control ot the bituminous coal carriers in the middle states, but this only served to induce realizing in those stocks. Reports of a working agreement between Union Pacific and St. Paul authorities for through business did not save St. Paul from being one 01 tne weasesi shocks on me list. Heavy selling of Northern securities on the curb had a sympathetic effect on the whole market. The bond market became weak in sym Jiathy with stocks. Total-sales, par value, 2.480.000.

Trains were late In arriving, tne same as nas oeen the case for some little time, and trading was slow from start to finish. - A good proportion of the receipts con sisted of cornfed steers and the market was very slow and unevenly lower. As a general thing, though, a dime would cover the decline, ueners am not iis.e 10 uss off again today, so that it was rather late before much business was done. The cow market was also slow and lower, with the decline running from 10c to 15o. All classes suffered, the good as well as the common, but it was noticeable that the prices paid were uneven. That, how ever, IS usually tne case wnen prices nave been going down as rapiaiy as tney nave this week. , ,, Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold a little lower in sympathy with the break on cows and steers. There was not a very heavy supply of stockers and feeders in sight, but the de mand from tne country was aisu very limited, so that speculators were not very anxious' for fresh supplies. Some of the more desirable offerings sold at right close to steady prices, but the big bulk of the cattle sold a little lower. Trading was rather slow and in the afternon there were still a good many cattle In first hands. . h.r. wr a Tew cars u wrniri 11 inmn steers were slow sale and In most cases were a little lower than yesterday. Range cows sold about 1015c lower and stockers and feeders were iu - " lower. Representative tales: B1SK1' No Av. Pr. No. At. Pr. 1 .... 432 I 00 3 1133 4 10 .!
