UNION PACIFIC HAS A BRIE( BOOM
Day's Changes Skew Some Fair
Galaa, hat the Close Is Set at
Highest Prices for
Day.
NEW YORK. Dec. 3 -The rise In call
money rates to a 7 per cent maximum to
day marked the unmistakable effect of the
preparation for the annual settlement and
made Itself felt In the stock speculation.
.u ,rt WM made to retrieve the action
in tne late dealings by aome very vigorous
advances In United States steel stocks and
la Southern and Union Paclrtc. but the gen
eral list did not respond readily to this
treatment snd prices tell back again, mak
",4LUle. c,?in weak and active.
Ihe days changes show some fair gains
in the active list and some striking gain In
the Inactive specialty list, but the highest
prices of the day were not held In any
case and the gains were wiped out In con
spicuous stocks.
The flurry In the money market had more
JivT.1 """Pending the buying and the
biddlng-up process than In inducing any
extensive liquidation. The feverish and ex
cited tone of the cotton market probably
reflected a process of clearing up for the
year end settlements. It has scarcely
been expected that the year would be
turned with no perceptible pinch In the
money market, especially since the revela
tion of the heavy loan expansion last week.
The fact that requirements for January
disbursements call certainly for $30 0iVuO
and up, to an estimated maximum of $la0.
Oun.OW. point to the inevltableness of a tem
porary pinch while this huge sum is chang
ing bands. It wss well understood that
while the sums accumulated In preparation
for these needs were lying on deposit and
Idle they would cot be put out on call
until they were wanted by the clear pros
pect that loans would be called In very
large volume about January 1. but the mar
ket has advanced In face of these sureties
In the conviction that the demand for
money would certainly be brief and that
the resources In hand would quickly re
turn to the channels of the money market.
The action of prices today brought aome
reconsideration to the speculative mind, as
Is invariably the case with a reversal of the
market movement with regard to news de
velopments. Some renewed scepticism as
serted Itself as to the character of some
of the recent price movements.
The "window dressing'' purposes for
which the higher prices are designed to
serve tn balance sheets snd the suspicion
that great banking Interests might be stim
ulating the market tn preparation for some
new offerings of bonds appealed with fresh
force when difficulty In holding prices was
detected.
The new bond offerings for the week are
accompanied by rumors of other offerings
to come after January 1. The rumors were
revived of a Rock Island refunding, West
Inghouse Electric relapsed suddenly cn the
announcement of note Issues to the extent
of $f.0n0.fm0 to provide partly for a railroad
purchase, and the deposit of Chicago oV
Alton preferred stock with authority to
sell offered another prospect of new secur
ity Issue. The New York Central requlre
menta for terminal changes comes up easily
for consideration la such a condition of
sentiment.
The movement of gold hither Is Still un
interrupted, a small engagement having
been effected In London today. -while San
Francisco remitted to New York over $1.
unoi of gold received from Asia.
Bonds were active. Total sales par value,
$2.'.0H0. t'nlted States old 4a coupon ad

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were fairly
i.'beral this morning, but quite a few of
them were consigned direct to local packer,
so that the actual number on sale was not
large. The market at the beginning was
generally steady, but there did not seem
to be quite the snap that characterised the
trade yesterday, and the close was rather
slow and weak.
The better grades of beef steers sold
earlv without much trouble at about steady
prices, at high as $4.90 being paid. All the
buvers seemed to be quite anxious for good
stuff and. as there was not much of that
kind on sale, everything desirable was soon
disposed of. The common to medium cat
tle, though, did not change hands as readily
and In some cases were perhaps a shdde
lower, particularly toward the close, when
packers were not as anxious aa they were
earlier tn the day.
The cow market was quite sctlve, par
ticularly at the) opening, and In fact a good
many salesmen were calling the market
stronger. The demand from all the pack
ers was quite liberal and the early arrivals
were soon dlsopsed of. but some of the
late ones did not sell to quite as good ad
vantage. The demand was about aa good
for the canners and cutters as It was for
the better erades.
Bulls were no more than steady with yes
terday, while real calves were unchanged.
There were only a few bunches of stack
ers and feeders tn the yards and they
changed bands without much difficulty at
steady prices unless the quality waa very
common. Good stuff was In active demand
and fully steady. Representative sales

NEW TORK, Dec. 29 -COTTON-Openlng
weak at an advance of 1 point 10 a deciln
of 11 points, the cotton market tdav ruled
sensationally active, with fluctuation that
for rapidity, violence, breadth and Irregu
larity have not been witnessed before In
the recollections of the trade. Foreign
trade at first was steady, but later eaeed
off uoder what was described aa American
selling, and tho opening prices lor the hrst
minutes ruled weak under liquidation,
showing at the end of toe first fifteen min
utes net losses of 16 to 25 points, follow
ing this the total bull leaders started buy
ing and prices advanced to about I lie final
figure of last night. This was toward the
beginning of the second hour and during
the balance of the morning fluctuations,
while irregular, showed a downward ten
