U Th small de crease In the loan Item of the bank dis closed by the weekly statement today proved a disappointment to speculators and stock were old freely after Its pub lication. The market closed In consequence active and weak. Earlier In the day the movement waa nervous and uncertain on a rather artive market. There were sev eral alternste advances and declines bfor the final active selling movement. The volume of the week s lltuidstlon In stocks under the losses entailed were felt to promise a more extensive loan contraction than that reported, which waa t2.0fi6.stai. In yesterday's late drive against the bears the Impression got around that an Increase In surplua reserve might be disclosed. To day by reason of a heavy loan contraction and some siwclal movemects of cssh from nesrbjr points th speculators were the more dlsappolated for this reason over the actual showing. It ia possible thtit the actual k-an contraction Is understood as the heaviest liquidation was In the latter part of the week and thua figured for only part of the week In the statement of averages put there la also the possi bility that the loans called from the stock market were put out again to syndicates and otherwise. A feature of tb day's news was a number of additional calls for In stallments of syndicate subscriptions. In cluding the tMMO.ouo Installments on the New York Central bonds underwriting, which was reported to hsve csused some surprise to subscribers. At this time there Is no relief In eight from the sub-treasury' drain upon the money market and the time loan for all periods are at per cent and for horter periods a high as per cent.

As compared with last week the Increase amounts to about &,0u0 head, and as compared with the corresponding week of last year there Is a gain of nearly Hum) head. Other markets have alao had very heavy receipts, so that packers have pounded prices in bad shape. A liberal proportion ot the offerings all the week has consisted of oornfedx, and the quality has alao shown some improve ment The high price of the week was $tj 25, which waa paid on Tuesday for a bunch of well-fattened cattle. Prices went down all the week, and particularly toward the close, so that values are now at the low point of the season. The decline for the week Is put at right around &0c. There la, of course, some unevenness, so that lome sale have looked better than that, while other have been worse. Pretty good cattle are now selling around $4.60. and It would take something strictly choice to bring tt or better. The cow market also suffered and the decline for the week Is juBt about the ame as on steers J lading was very slow on most anys, ana 11 loos, jiracncany an uuy to make a clearance. The late arrival of train wa largely responsible for that, bu at the same time the market wu very slow. The bulk ot the sales are now going from $2.00 tc t3.1&. with a few sales from t3.60 to $4.00. Bulls may be quoted about a quarter lower for thr week, and stags are fully that much lower. Veal calves have held right close to steady, but the sharp de cline on other lines has had a tendency to weaken pr'ccs There has been very little demand for stockers and feeders, but owing to the fact that receipts have been rather modeiate prices have not suffered as badly as might be expected. The better grades of feeders are probably not over 25c lower for the week, bul the common stuff, and especially the common stockers, have been almost unsalable at any price, and are mors than a quarter lower. The season for western range cattle Is practically at a close. A few cars arrive every day, but not enough to make a mar ket. As a general thing prices fluctuate on the westerns. Just about the same as on the native. The quality of the offerings as a rule Is rather inferior. HOGS There was about an average Sat urday' supply of hoga here today and the market alar tea out zvajc nigner man yesterday close, or about like yesterday morning. The bulk ot the early sales went at to.7H and $6.00, with a few choice load at $S.o2i, and $6.05. Trading, though, wa not particularly brink, a packer did not seem to have very liberal orders. Hy the time about half of ths hogs had changed hands the market weakened a little, so that the close waa rather slow. The receipts of hogs for the week show an Increase over laet week, but there Is still quite a decreaee as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The gen eral tendency of prices has been down ward this week. Wednesday waa the high day, when the average cost was n 12. and Friday the law day, when the average was down to $i.9. On November 26 the average was down to . ana witn mat exception the average up to thla week haa not been below $6.oo since last March. Prices are 2iXfi25c lower than a year ago, but about tl.u per hundred higher than two years ago. AiepreBeniauve saica. No. A,, ah. IT. No. At. 8h.
