NEW YORK, Dec. 14. The Ftvk ex
chanpe might almost as ell rot have been
In session today for anything that was
accomplished. There was a e'iglu spun
of activity In the flrst hour and after that
the market became lethargic The pre
hollday Influence as partly responsible for
this, although there was larking the usual
trimming process caused by closing up of
aicoums over the holiday, ruth outstand
ing accounts being apparently at a mini
mum. This probably explained tho com
paratively small Influence of the money sit
uation. There waa some special weakness
In the railroad and electrical equipment
stocks which waa traceable easily to the
fears of cutting down of outlay by the
railroads to keep pace with the declining
tendency of earnings now clearly In evi
dence. Reports of reduction of working
forces In factories, or total shutdowns In
some cases pointed to the ssme conclusions
as to the course of Industrial affairs. News
of the closing of a Memphis saving bank
kept alive the bad Impression rausod by
Monday's bank happenings at Atlanta and
New Orleans.

ber I wss regarded as reassuring as tf
the condition of the banking fabric
hole, the percentage of leirsl reserve to
deposits standing on that date at Zl Jl
per cent, compared wTTh 21 3 per cent on
August Ti, and 20 80 per cent on Jvovember
12. last year. Although there has been a
shrinkage of Individual deposits for the
snorter period or R42.161.sx4k the government
deposits have m the mesntime. in
creased by T9 W4.SS0 and that factor
must have affected also the specie
and legal tender holdings materially, the
decrease In holdings being only II0.I3K. i!i.
Rut It Is In the Items reflecting the inter
relations of the banks that the dislocation
of the usual banking conditions are most
sharply defined. The sum due from banks
ana reserve agents has shrunk since August
22 by 1146.843.372 and since November IX
of last year 1.1 4 M S4. while the amount
due other banks and bankers has fallen
H9.CX.ei7 since August 73 and slightly less
In the yearly comparison. This Is the
measure of the tremendous withdrawals of
banking reserves of smaller banks which
were on deposit In the reserve and central
reserve cities when the shock of October
passed Uirotirh the body of the banks. It
ia the persistence of this condition which
is given responsibflty for the persistence
or tne premium in New York and tne em
barrassments In exchange operations. The
opinion Is growing that the way out of
this state Is bv restoration by surplus or
the New York banks by their own measures
after banks elsewhere in the country are
expected to resume their normal relations
with the reserve centers. The accomplish
ment of this result Is expected now to be
delayed some time after the first or tne year.
The high money rate In New York caused
a violent downward plunere In foreign rates.

A few sheep wti'ch were driven In sold

Operators on the market are beginning
to predict a better' market with the coming
of the New Tear. They argue that th
panicky feeder have sold the most of etr
holding and that the sheep and lamb
still back Iri the country are In strorg
hand, hence are not llkly to be marketed
with undue hnste. At the same time a bel
ter demaad fa anticipated, aa consumers
are very1 apt to be tired of poultry bv the
close of the holidays and will want to
buv something different. For these rea
son most everyone on the market Is pre
dicting a better trade, with prices higher
than at present. Whether they are right
or not remains to be seen.

hands early in the morning at prices gen
erally a little higher than yesterday. This
was true of all kfrd of killer, steer,
cows and heifers. Shipper will understand
that It was the usual holiday market and
that the good price prevailing were due
entirely to the very light receipts. Seller
who were unfortunate in having warmea-up
stuff hardly good enough for killers found
It rsther hard work unloading. There were
no feeders of any consequence in the yards
and there was no great Inquiry.
As was stated yesterday, while the yards
will be opened for the receipt of stock,
there will be.no market here on Christmas

LONDON. Dec. 24. Th demand for
money el.ee.lecl tlie supply In the markel
today and the rates were firm. Discounts
were dearer on leported gold engagements
for New York. The prospective Argentina
requirements induced much caution. There
was '.'.tllo business on the Slock exrhaiitte
except in mining shsres. due to the carry
over, but Hie niarket appeared healthy,
the speculative account having been re
cently much reduced. The general opinion
Is that the lowest level has been touched.
Price generally opened higher and. al
though realisations over the holiday tauaed
a setttsik. the final tone was ateal.
American shsres. owing to the fall of prices
in Wall street, opened considerably lower,
but firmness prevailed In the forenoon.
Quotations ruled above parity thereafter
Iter business became very quiet, th New
York o;en!ng became colorless and the
niarket finished dull The weeklv state
ment of the Rank of England a 111 be is
sued Friday Instead of Thursday, owing to
the Christmas holidays.

prices were not to exceed 5c loaer than
yesterday. In fact in some cases almost
steady prices were paid for kinds that just
haplnned to suit them. Packers on the

Appeal from Johnson. Reversed and plain
tiff s action dismissed. Calkins. C.
1. When a mortgage purports to glva the
amount, date of execution and maturity
and tlie rate of Interest borne by the notes
It secures, and la so recorded, the mort
gagee may not In a suit against a subse
quent purchaser of the premises who has
no notice except such as Is afforded by
the record, show that the notes Intended
to be secured, matured at an earlier data
or bore a higher rates of Interest than was
specified In the mortgage.
z. The statements contained ta a mortgage
recorded by the mortgagee ar his declara
tions to all subsequent purchasers; and ha
la estopped as against one who has bougnt
he premises relying upon sucn recora, to
sssert that his interest is greater or his
lien more onerous, than was described In
such mortgage.
8 If a mortgagee accepts ana recora s m
mortgage which describee the note It se
cures as maturing at a later date or bear
ing a lower rate of interest thsn Is actually
named In such notes, th mistake le his;
snd under the rule that where one of two
Innocent persons must suffer, the one who
has made a mistake possible la the one
who must besr the loss, th mortgagee must
suffer the consequence of such error, rather
than the Innocent purcnaser wno aa re
lied upon ths record. .
4. It is not necesssry for a purchaser? of
real estate to personally Inspect the public
records. He may do this by hk sgent
or attorney; and a person who prepares in
abstract of title from the record for- his
examination, is ths sgent of sack purchaser.
