NEW YOKK. Dec 13. Money on call was

last loan being made at 5, closing oll'ered
at 4.

at $4.S0i2 for aixty-day bills and for

The total sales of stocks to-day were 182,
01 shares, including the following: Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western, 27,440; Mis
souri Pacific, 7,00.;; Northern Pacific pre
ferred, 8,450; Heading, 9,000; St. Paul, C.CS5.
The stock market continues to show a
steadily decreasing volume of hnsineas,
and to-day's record, especially for the stocks
of the regnlar list, was smaller than any
thing seen lu months. The unlisted depart
ment was more active in the aggregate, but
the increase wa all in Sugar Ketineries,
which was more heavily traded jn than on
ny day this week, with the exception of
Tuesday. The stock seemed to touch bottom
to-daj at Wy, when large buying orders
came in and a sabstauti.il rally of over 4
per cent, was made, though all of the itn-
?rovement was not retained at the close,
ho bnymg seemed ior tho, most part to be
coTering. but there were heavy orders exe
cuted for a Boston account, and largo
"blocks of borrowed stocks were returned
to-day. indicating that the covering
yesterday was material. The out
side baying stimulated investment
by the ' room traders on the long
side, and the reaction was due more to real
izing sales by this element than to any
thing else. Chicago (ins was depressed at
iirst on reports that a plan for the readjust
ment of the company's affairs had fallen
throngh, but a complete rallv occured later
in the day. A report cf the business of the

atrrncies, and which, it was claimed, was
'official, showing that the company had
iailcnt to earn even the fixed charges for
that tiin by something less than $100,000.
The publication did have some little influ
ence upon the ctock, but the extreme llnc
tuation for the day was only 34Perceut.,
f.nd it closed only per cent lower than
last evening. The only activity in the
Tegular list was in Lackawanna, which
wus atronsrr, but 'moved, np only a
fraction. The report that the deal in
Tennessee Coal was over for the present
resulted in so mo selling of that stock, and it
yielded 2 ner cent., but recovered 1. The
most important movements, however,
wera in Memphis. &. Charleston, which
spurted up 5 per cent- on the decision of the
Supremo Court of Alabama prohibiting the
'East Tennessee from votmg tho majority
of the Memphis & Charleston stock which
it holds, and thus throwing the control of
tho company to the minority stockholders.
Thfre wos renewed selling of the Chicago
t Eastern Illinois stock, and especially
by Boston parties,' and the common dropped
nearly S rer cent., most of which was re
covered, but the preferred scoTed a drop of
fi2 per cent., only 2 of which was regained.
The general list was quiet to dull, and nfter
a steady opening prices advauced slightly,
but theo gains '.rere afterward generally
lost and the market closed dull and steady
at close to opening figures.

Slump In Wheat Corn Dull
and
Steaiy-Oats a J.lttle Lovrer.
CHICAGO, Dec. 13. Good trading char
acterized the speculative wheat market on
the whole, though at times a quiet feeling
prevailed. At intervals trading was very
active. The offerings were very large and
a good deal of long wheat was closed out.
Some short selling no doubt occurred, but
the largest "shorts" took . advantage of tho
.situation and covered freely. It was a sort
of evening up. It was claimed that parties
who bad bought yesterday and the
day bciore on expectation of realiz
ing higher prices, rinding the mar
ket did not advance, sold freely
as well as 'longs" at higher prices. Euro
pean market advices were generally of a
weaker tenor. It was rumored that 40,000
bushels of wheat had been worked, yester
day, at Minneapolis for direct export via
the Soo" line and Boston. New York
about noon wired no new business tor ex
port can be done, excepting at an advance
in freight. A dispatch was received from
California saving that rains were placing
the ty heat cnp in a critical condition. Tho
receipts at Minneapolis nud Duluth were
4.21 cars, against 812 cars for the correspond
ing day last week. For the five days this
weet tno receipts a me iwo points men
tioned aggregated l.tfSJO bushels, against
2.X0U.00O for the same period last week.
The market opened at about yesterday's
closing figures, held barely steady for
n while, and then, under large offer
ings, declined lffllc for May. and lo
for December, closing Vslo lower thau
yesterday. Corn was exceedingly dull.
Trading was liirht and almost exclusively
local. The feeling was steady, and values
nhowed little chancre, compared with Yes
terday's, final quotations being about the
same, Oats were weaker and a shade low
er, due to the decline in wheat and also to
free offerings bv 'longs." The demand.
however, was light, and holders were not
disposed to force sales, as such a course
would have resulted in materially lower
prices being recorded. May was the princi
pal future traded in, bnt fluctuations ware
only frC. Mess pork trading was only mod-,
erate and the feeling was steadier. Prices
advanced 5S7ic. hut, with moderately
free oilenngs, a reduction or 2voo was
submitted to. and the market closed quiet.
Lard prices were advanced about .02
earlv in the dav. but settled back attain
and closed steady. In short-rib sides there
was a fair trade, and the feeling was firmer.
: Prices were advanced .02 early, but the
appreciation was not supported. 1 he lead
ing futures ranged as follows:

Some Complaint About the YTarm Weather.
NEW YORK. Dec. 13. It. G. Dun &
Cos weekly' review of trade says: But for
one thing, the business reports received
this weok would bo exceptionally satis
factory. Unseasonable weather accounts
for depression in one or . more branches of
biisiuess. -The trade in woolen goods and
in heavy hoots and shoes is also retarded.
and the anthracite coal trade ovcn more
seriously. On the other hand, there is
some compensation in the fact that the
open weather has enabled building opera
tions to bo carried on longer than usual.
The holiday trade has also commenced
early, and is of unusual magnitude. Trade
at lioston is. on the whole, very good. 1 he
boot and shoe trade is satisfactory. Phila
delphia carpet-mills are also full, but at
prices which leave narrow margins, and
wool manufacturers are working short
time. The grocery trade there largely ex
ceeds last year's, at firm prices. At Chicago
the grain trade exceeds last years;
the trade in provisions has nearly, and,
in butter ana cheese, quite doubled.
while there is some decline in hides and a
heavy decrease in wool. In nearly all lines
business is large at at. louis, and except in
north central Arkansas and southeast
Missouri, collections are unusually easy.
At Milwaukee. Omaha. St. Paul and other
Western points,while weather afi'ects retail
trade, prospects are good, and, except in
localities about Milwaukee, collections are
called fairly satisfactory. Strong evidence
that the situation is healthy appears in the
returns of iron furnaces for Den. 1. which
sbows a weekly output of 109,151 tous
against 105,225 Nov. 1, and 148,013 a year
ago. V ith an output at the rate of 8,75Ut00U
tous per annum iron does not yield in price,
though it is admitted that heavy sales have
been made at ligures below Philadelphia
quotations, and in many instances probably
ut 810 with guarantee against loss if prices
fall. Steel rails are firm at 35. Advanciug
prices are noted at Pittsburg, and great
activity in ore at Cleveland, where it is
stated the entire Lake superior product
for next year has been already sold, the
BesMcxuer at fcO per ton.
The speculative markets have been
strouger, bat show no unwholesome activ
ity. Wheat has risen "c. with sales of only
14.000.ouo bushels, and corn the same, oats
not changing. Oil has risen ho on small
trading, and the high price seems to allect
exports, which for November were in value
$177,000 less than last year. Coflee has risen
&hC with sales of 316,000 bags, and the enor
mous exports of cotton thus far in Novem
ber 547.555.03S in value, against 38.2,1.210
last year bold the price unchanged. Pork
has not chauged, but lard and hogs are
weak. The general level of prices has
slightly declined for the week, but is about
a fifth of 1 per cent above that of
Dec. 1. But the large railroad earning for
govern oer, snowing in per cent,, increase,
tho heavy business in progress through
out the country, and the hope of an invest
ment demand in January naturally make
holders of good stocks exceedingly firm.
Fears of monetary difiiculty have faded
away, but the market has not grown easy
ns yet. nor have reinforcements come from
any quarter. The East is in want of funds;
tho West finds in phenomenal business
activity employment for the large amounts
sent thither, and tho anticipated imports of
gold from Europe do not yet arrive. For
eign exchange, indeed, is a shade stronger
than a week ago. The Treasury has man
aged to avoid accumulation, and holds
$100,000 les- cash than on Friday last.
The business failures. number 21X) as com
pared with a total of 316 last week. For
the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 303.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Slow as Usual with the Closing Month
of the Year Prices Steady and Finn.
IsiUANAroLis, Dec. 13.
Trade is dull, is tbe common remark, but
turning hack to past years it will bo found
that such bas always been the case after
Dec. 10. Ketaii merchants are taking
soundings and are making purchases only
to meet immediate requirements. Witb re
tail as well as wholesale merchants, it is
believed tbat the year closes with fewer
bad debts mado than in either of several
preceding years, notwithstanding tho fact
that tbe wholesale men have invaded with
their traveling salesmen places where they
have never before done any business. In
prices, as a rule, a lirm tone prevails. Cof
fees, which were shaky last week, are again
in strong position, and sugars are in light
supply and lirm. Eggs are coming in free
ly and prices aro weakening. -Poultry re
ceipts are large, as well, and an easy tone is
noticeablo to this market. Choice bnt tor
is fat i 11 in good request. Some choice ap
ples have b'.'en shipped in here tho last few
days and theo are selling well at good
prices, but fruit below standard is difficult
to dispose of except at low ligurcs. A bet
ter grade of oranges is coming on to the
market this week and they are selling very
readily. The market is overstocked with
bananas anil they are selling low. In sym
pathy with the grain markets the provision
market is rather tint. In other markets
there is nothing worthy of note.
GRAIN.

local grain market than at the . present irae.
