Final Itnllr in Stock Wiped Out Part of the I)aV LneN-Local Trade Checked r the Ilain. At New York. Saturday, money on call was iteady at 4'i per cent. Prime mercantile piper, 4li5 per cent. sterling exchange was nominal, with actual business In bankers' bill at JI.S1- for demani and Jt.Sl for sixty days; posted rates, 4.S2!a and l.6i: commercial bills, $I.S-V?ifjfl.SlH. Silver certificates were 646.'c; bar silver, tili:; Mexican dollars, 50Vc. Bar silver was Z)13-16d an ounce in London. Imports of specie for tha week at the- port of New York were 41,:i8 in gold and $S3,&:S in sil ver. Exports of gold and silver aggregate 6.117 In silver bars and -o!n and $27,7S) in gold. Imports of dry goods and merchandise were valued at $7.601,002. The weekly statement of the associated New Yotk banks, issued Saturday, shows the follow ing changes: Loans. Increase 11.94 1. 400 Deposit, decrease 3,2&,2nO Circulation, decrease 6:.1W Ltg:il tenders, decrease LSLVOuO Hecie. decrease 4.01, Total reserves, decrease 6..1m) Heserve required, decrease M1.Ö.V) Surplus reserve, decrease S.lSl.wJ The Financier says: "The upward trend In the cash reserves of the clearing house barks received a sudden check, last week, through re newed demands by the South and West for funds and steady absorptions by the treasury. Poth these factors were in evidence, early in the week, and estimates of actual losses suf fered by the banks ran as high as 7,CHX,000. The statement shows a falling: off In cash of some thing over $6,000,0, and as reserve requirements against deposits were not materially lessened, the surplus was cut in two. standing at $,701,225, ai against $10,S6T.675 for the previous week. The lean item shows an Increase- of $l,9li,fOQ, which was very moderate, after the eleven-milllon-ticllar expansion noted a week ago. Derosits have decreased only $3,3tiOJO. As a matter of fact the losses in cash are shown to have been suffered by one large institution, the changes in whose deposits also account for the shrinkage In that item. It follows that so far as the stand ing of the remaining banks is concerned, they are at least as strong in reserves as they were a week ago. The continued drain on New York has had the effect of hardening money rates, and as the January dividend season Is not far dis tant, the general opinion i3 that firm rates are f be expected over the end of the year. The shipments of heavy sums westward at this sea son Is abnormal, but the movement is due to continued heavy business. It is significant, how ever, that In anticipation of higher rates here. interior banks with largo reserves are sending money to this center to be loaned, and before the first of the year It is anticipated that large amounts will be placed. The treasury will absorb more money than it pays out for some lime, if current calculations are correct, and as Alaskan 'gold shipments have fallen off, the extra supply. If needed here, will have to be at tracted by means of Interest rates. There is nothing to Indicate that the loan total will be contracted. The circulation Item is decreasing lowly, the loss for the current week having been I62.1-W." WALL-STREET REVIEW. There was very little trading in stocks, Satur day, and the character of the market remained tout tho same as for several days past. Ten nessee Coal and some of the other Industrials which have bten acutely depressed during tho week, continued feverish and unsettled. Ten nessee Coal fell an extreme 34 and recovered two points In sympathy with the late general strength of the steel group. Federal Steel led the rally and was helped by talk of dividend dis trlbutlon and of the adjustment, by agreement of the deputed points between the great steel combinations. The movement of price in the general list was sluggish throughout. The wean bank statement had been so accurately fore casted that it had little4nr!uence on the trading. If anything, prices were a little better after the statements, on taking of bear profits and In sympathy with the sharp rally in the steel stocks, but there Is no change In the opinion that the cutting in two of the small surnlus r serves at this period is a serious phase of the outlook from a speculative stan-ipclnt. The con tinued interior demand for money is regarded as a atrikin ' evidence of business activity and prosperity. However, it will interfere . Just as effectually with lae purposes of iersons who are holding stoks on margin with borrowed money. The reported p'irio.e i t the Treasury Department to anticipate the payment of over $5.;0.Gu) of January government interest did not relieve sen tlment to any extent, as experience shows that this manner of relief Is cumbersome and slow in making funds available to the open money mar ket. Kven In the strlnsrent money market of last fall, holders of government bonds were slow to collect the Interest ottered by the government In advance of comir.r lue-. The coming yearly settlements, for vhih preparation ha. already commenced, involve the disbursement of a larger urn of mney than ever before In the history of tho count ry. Standard Oil shares sold at VJ7 and fc'J on small transactions.

This unloading process has served to reveal thf collapse of the early' buoyant buying spirit. The Suar epist was in mime part an ajCKravated cause of this ten dency of stocks and In some .ways merely en Illustration of It. The abortive speculation In Sugar had its own motive In the unwarranted expectation of a dividend increase, but other stocks iii the market offer an analogy. The ln- u.t rials, as a p-oup. are fhunltiR the effects of the pending problem ot the efficacy of th new industrial combination as a financial device. The "greener" newer induMrbils are more sen sitive than thoe with an older history, but the same causes affect botJi. The tel group offer th.? test example of the question t isue. The- principal of these. ques tions 1 whether the capitalization is so hi?n that only such rrc.tJ for the- product as invite new competition will bring In the requisite pro fits to maintain dividends. The actual disburse ment of dvldends on theso stucks and the course cf events in the trade during the patt ear here obiousy failed to entirely solve dour Is on this subject in the minds of the speculative and in vestment puhll as Is shown by the prices of the securities. The outcome of events in the trade during the coming year are awaited to rorm a bals for more definite conclusions. The profits of manufacture at last year's level of j rice, it Is proved, were o great as to invite the bringing Into activity of a large RRgregate of productive forces which resulted in an ovcr-podin-tlon and necessitated concessions to work off the surplus.

Such a tfisocnev 1 entire. y n'.r ia:il towards the end of the year, owing to the tntive ri:3irnne:u: fi.r monfy in-thr seasonable trr.oe a:m In preparation for yearly settlements.

Thse preparations proved more than ample, and tho I-cüt-c-lection relaxation floodtl the money mar ket with credits. The part taken in the loan market by trust companies nnd othr fiduciary irstitutluiis makes it somewhat difficult to meas ure the absorption of credits for purposes of st.jck market ieculati"n. as it does not figure ! the- loan item of tlie banks. While tru.t companies were lending money on the Stock Exchanye they were withdrawing deposits from the banks. . So that there was tn actual loan contraction reported by the clearing house banks ar the period of greatest speculative activity .n the stock market. Now that trust companies are making preliminary arrangemens to meet the yearly settlements on Jan. 1. there is likely to be an Increasing disposition by thee Institu tions to call loans, thus driving borrowers to the banks for renewals. The large movement of currency to" the Interior and the heavy bank clearings at Interior points Justify the predic tions maoe oy i-ankers oeiore election of active rf quirements for money before the end of the yrar. although the effect Is somewhat belated. witn this inroad on New York bank resources to meet Interior needs and speculative borrowers resorting to the banks for renewals or loans called elsewhere, there is a possibility of forced liquidation In the stock market, especially with prices there Invitingly high. 'donrv rates have been hleher durlnir the weelc. but the money market outlook has not prevented me continuance oi strong points in tne market. especially In the lower-priced railroad stocks.

Liberal receipts vcre mainly responsible for 1 net decline of ''S'ic In January wheat to-day. Better weather and freer country offerings depressed corn. December closing lic and May, kfi'-ic lower.. Oats closed lie down and provisions a shade to 5c lover. There was merely a local market for wheat. steady cables maintained prices for a few min utes at the beginning of the session, but there after the liberality of the day's receipts, added to recently increased stocks and the almost total lack of outside business, caused weakness which was still apparent when the closing bell sounded. January opened USVic lower at 71?ie to 71c. and sold to 70c. closing igXc under yesterday at 70i'3705ic. New York reported five load3 taken for export. Clearances In wheat and flour, at the seaboard, were equal to 437,000 bu. Primary receipts were 743.000 bu, compared with C00.00) bu a year ago. Minneapolis and Du- luth reported 326 cars, against 491 last week anu 40? the corresponding day last year. Local re ceipts were 161 cars, 10 of contract grade. Clearer weather and larger country accept ances forced out liberal amounts of long corn. Of to-day's receipts, 234 cars, there was none grading contract, but those In th December deal paid little attention to wnat has recently been a potent bull factor. December sold from 27?4c to 36Hc, and closed l4c lower at SSc. May was also heavy, but not having attained such an elevation In price as had December, had less distance to fall. This option sold between Z63 i!4c and SSUc and closed M&c down at 3CUo. Tho only feature in oats was the purchase of 500,000 bu of May at 23c by a local firm. Prices yielded some with wheat and corn, but, all con sidered, prices were remarkably steady. May sold between 2374c and 23Hc. and closed c lewer et 23?4c.
