The usual year end activity of the money markets of the world was the feature in to-day's stock market, to the exclusion of almost every ether consideration. The darkening pros pects of the money outlook were more per ceptible in New York than in other markets and this wa3 partly due to the fact that New York was called upon for the relief of other money markets. Engagements made of cold for shlnmcnt to Berlin of $yjO,000 were announced, and as much more rumored, the reported shipper declining to confirm the report, and over JI'jO.OW In French coin to Paris. Deposits at the sub treasury were made for transfer to Chi cago of $030.000 and to New Orleans of $130, OuO. This depletion of nearly $2,000,000 in cash was offset by a payment from the subtreasury of $l,5tf,lil in redemption of United States bonds. I3ut this was not suf ficient tc prevent a late flurry in the call money market again, when belated borrow ers sought to cover their needs, which ran the rate up to 10 per cent. The subtreasury already had taken from the market over $I,j0,0u0 before to-day's operations, in cluding deposits for transfer to the interior. It was reported to-day that Chicago had loaned some money on call on the Stock Exchange, but this operation presumably involves the drawing: upon a New York correspondents, and is therefore an unset tling iniluence in the local money market. The course of the loan account of New York banks is beyond prevision in advance of tho weekly bank statement, but last week's unexpected Increase in loans keeps sentiment uneasy, as various syndicate operations remain to be provided for. lie- lief in the purchase of the Pocahontas Coal Company by Norfolk & Western continues prevalent in wall street in spite of lack of official confirmation, which would involve large loan operations. The sharp decline In Norfolk & Western was connected with this belief.. What loan operations may be involved in providing for tho payment of the $3,000,000 Standard Oil dividend on next Monday Is not known, but the fact is patent that the credits available in the New York money market are undergoing constriction and flurries in the money mar ket of frequent recurrence are looked for until the end of the year. There was acute weaknesses in the foreign exchange mar ket to-day in response to the stiffening of money rates. There wa3 some appearance of nursing the market upon the insiders here and there so as to suffer as little dam age as possible from the Inevitable liquida tion. The compar?.tive firmness and resili ency of Amalgamated Copper was an ef fective aid in this purpose. The dealings In that stock again overshadowed the whole market, the price rising to 72?i, and fall ing again to closing with a net gain of s- There was a midday rally when the redemption of a large block of govern ment bonds was announced, which carried many stocks above yesterday's level, Lack awanna rising b1? and Delaware & Hudson, New York Central and Sugar about a point.

Amalgamated Copper failed to rally to-day and con tinued heavy and unsatisfactory during most of the session. It is the general opin ion In the street that the dividend will be reduced to 4 per cent. Union Pacific and St. Paul were under considerable pressure, becoming heavy, and closed at about the lowest. There was some inside support in Missouri Pacific, and Keene was again manipulator of Manhattan, beinK willing to support the stock when it displayed weakness. Louisville enjoyed support in spite of a fair amount of liquidation by commission houses. The money market was really the depressing feature of the day. The banks probably have lost during the week not less than $4,000,000. It was re ported that the subtreasury had purchased 11.000.000 bonds. The bulk of the transac tions in the market continued to be for professional account. The close was heavy at about the lowest of the day. Lower Prices Are Looked For. Granger Farwell & Co.'s Telegram. NEW YORK, Dec. 11. About all that can be said of the market is that it is at present governed by rates for money. This condi tion probably will continue the rulincr fac tor for a couple of weeks at least. There ha3 been considerable scattered liquidation and some short selling, but demand for stocks in the loan crowd is not so large and shows that the short selling is only of a scalping character. It looks as though still lower prices will be reached before the end of the week. SALES OF HEAL ESTATE. American National Hank.... Capital National Hank 'ntral Trust Company ('nlilmhl.

Universal Sellins in Kralns to-day placed the control of mar kets in the hands of the bears and prac tically routed the bi bull campaign that has terrorized shorts for the past week. A faint effort was made at times to sup port prices, but tho losses of to-day with those of yesterday aggregated too much and everything felt the disastrous depres sion. May wheat closed lBic lower. May- corn lc down and May oats lc lower. Pro visions closed 2Vic to 23c lower. Liquidation and short seuing enough to press prices down 2c tells the day's story In wheat. Support was lacking so far as country buying was concerned, and even a large number of the country holders who helped prices upwards last week were now unloading. Commission houses took ad vantage of a fair advance from yesterday's prices at the opening and deluged the pit with selling orders. Cables were the only bull influence and these were but a small factor. May opened UsC up to a shade lower at h2'Ho to Sic and at once started on the downward way. Several bearish con ditions were present to help the slump. Re ceipts were liberal, both Northwestern anJ primary; clearances were small and the cash demand was only moderate. There was a rapid run of fluctuations, but by noon prices had touched 7y"8c, almost 4c loss since Monday. At such declines shorts cov ered well for profits and at the close May reacted slightly but closed very weak, lc lower, at buVsli SOVic. Local receipts were 113 cars, none of con tract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth re ported cars, a total of kö cars, against 71S last week and 545 a year ago. Primary receipts were SS4,xa bu, compared with 40,m last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were iWS.OuO bu. Business In corn was les heavy than in wheat, but the tendency favored the bear Fide early. Free selling by commission houses, aided by the weakness in wheat, sent prices downward. Shorts took advan tage of every soft spot to cover, and tem porary reactions were the result. May options opened rather steady, 8c lower to higher, partly influenced by better cables. Considerable liquidation brought slumps to C7c several times, but at last May crossed this line and shot down to WhC a decline of 2c since Monday. The close was weak, lc lower than yesterday, at toe. Receipts were l'Si cars. Oats shared in the general weakness. There was no snap to the early trading and busines was small. Outside selling was responsible for the decline and shorts gave the market most of its support. May opened steady, but at once slumped and sold down to 443sc, almost 3c under Monday's top price. The close was weak, lc lower, at 45Uc Receipts were 12G cars. Provisions were weak, but not so much so as rain.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 11. Cattle Receipts, 1,400; shipments, 300. The marketing of cattle for three days shows a decrease of 300 compared with the game time last week, and the receipts to day were about 300 larger than a week ago. The general cattle market is in an unsatis factory condition, with prices in a lower position under the influence of rather ex cessive supplies. The presence of a better class of stock than recent representations is responsible for occasional sales at prices that appear to be at least steady and per haps strong, but, quality being considered, values are probably no more satisfactory than they would have been for the same kinds earlier in the season. There is a very indifferent demand for light butcher steers and common to medium females, and the greatest weakness has developed in those lines. Compared with yesterday, strictly top cattle sold at about steady prices to day, and at the start rather promptly, but there was an easier tendency in the general market toward the close of trade and all cattle below prime moved slowly at rather lower prices, and the position, generally considered, fully 15c lower than last Friday. The extreme price for steer.3 was practical ly paid for fancy yearling Angus cat tle, and less desirable yearlings sold as high as 53.70.

The combined receipts of hogs for three days indicate a decrease of over 13.tJ compared with the same time last week, and the receipts to-day were about the same as a week ago. The demand for hogs, especially from local packers, con tinues indifferent, therefore competition is not strong enough to maintain uniform prices, and the irregularity in sales makes the market very unsatisfactory to sellers; in fact, this is considered the worst fea ture of the market at present. Shipping orders were not as liberal to-day as yes terday, and the market began with the biddinK lower for practically all kinds, and, with sellers reluctant in accepting prices offered, very few changed hands In the first hour. Later, occasional sales of the best weight hogs of uniform quality were considered almost as high as yesterday, but generally there was a decline of about 5c on that class and lighter averages were generally considered 10c lower. A good clearance was finally made, the Inst palts belnjr fully as low as at any time durinjr the day. Prices ranged from $5.35 to Jt.3u, and a very large proportion of the supply sold above $3.75.

Thus far this week the receipts of sheep and lambs have been comparatively small. The receipts to-day were less than one-third as large as a week ago, and barely one-half as large as a year ago. The c-uality repre sented was below the average recently, and with no really urgent orders the mar ket was quiet, and it was difficult to ne gotiate sales at steady prices. In fact, some dealers quoted a lower market for sheep. On account of an absence of any fancy kinds there were no lambs reported above $4, and the top price for sheep was $3.

A good variety of horses was represented, but the quality was no better than the average for some time past, and there was a great scarcity of animals that might be considered fancy. The attendance of buyers was about as large as usual during the dull season, and the demand was steady, but there were not enough urgent orders to cause active com petition, and it required more or less time to transfer consignments. A good clearance was finally made, however, at prices much the same as those current for equal kinds a week ago. The principal shippers to the market were Andy Schicketanz, of this city, with chunks and drivers; John XV. Sligar. Effingham, 111., drivers; John Brown. Sullivan, drivers; J. V. Rooker, Zionsville, chunks; X. B. Lee, Casey, 111., chunks and harness horses; J. W. Igo, Shelbyville, 111., chunks and drivers, and Cowan & Smith, Newton, 111., a mixed load. Single coach horses sold as high as $225. with coach teams as high as $325; heavy horses up to $157.50. and the bulk of the sales of medium to good chunks and drivers were at $751 123 per head.
