WL THE 'SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 1907. 13 M I IS CLOSII IN FAIR CONDtTION lpam Evidences of Easing of the &jv Long Strain in Financial m$' i ' BANK statement more favorable than expected Decline in Currency Premium W- Also Gives Solid Ground K; for Satisfaction, Br' ft; 2vEW YOKK, Dec. 28. The Btock g-mftrket ttrs under severe constraint to-Pj-dflj" and the brisk advance "which vras K inaugurated jesterday was not pursued r, with .confidence. Gains vrere more than Itwiped out in the final selling. This' was jPdue in part to tho reduction in the S short interest effected by the covering L operations of yesterday, which, in turn, fcVere the largest element in tho ad I' vance. Traders vrho bought yesterday, M also, were disposed to tako profits to r day. The more cheerful sentiment over c the money outlook duo to yesterday k developments was not wholly Impaired f'today, but fears were ontertainea that p next week would Bee a pinch in tho money market caused by the immediate requirements of the annual settlements, which might be carried over inlo the if new year. Decisive evidence of tho ' easing of the strain in Berlin was had , in the wide recession in tho prevailing discount Tato and intimations were given of a probable early reduction in t.hq official rate of the Imperial Bank of Gorman3'. This evidence of adequate provision for carrying tho German mar fleets through the annual settlements, which have been looked forward to , . M-.y - with appresonsion, relieves the world's &JBL markets of one of its most serious :JM causes of anxiety. Ht Tho decline in our currency gives K solid gror.ud for satisfaction. Although IH there ia no money market at the stock jflw exchange on Saturday, speculative sen TC; timent was inclined to take account of H next week's possibilities. The weekly K' review of the mercantile agencies enid jR, the progress of tho shrinkage in coni JK, niercial activities and gross earnings of fBf railroads for tho third week in Decem-Ik- ber showed a Inrger decrease from last year's figures than has yet been ro ported. A good impression was mado Mr.' by reports from Eome centers of resump-K- lion of work by some of tho working H$: forces which had been reduced, but this Hr impression was offset by the consulta tions of tho authorities of public chari KV ties in Now York to devise means for H' oaring for the large number of homo BL less and unemployed in tho city. K. Tito bank statement proved more fa-H;-' vorable than the most Hanguine e.xpec HK;. tations. Tins $9,400,000 pain in cash He compared with prclimiimry estimates of ' from .?..000,000 to $4,000,000. The loan K''' contraction of $1 7,752,400 in a week of preparation for meeting heavy obli ga tions reflects a gratifying power of 8fr recuperation by the banks. Tho changes Hg in the various itums are probably mag- nified b.y the computation on averages . for five' days, instead of the usual six B, days. To ofilcial admissions were to be w had on the subject, the inference is H warranted that some reduction of the outstanding clearing house certificates Hb. figure in thr loan reduction. The Viet result is a reduction in the deficit to j Er $20,'J 70.350. which compares with $51,- K? 103.G00, the maximum deficit for the Hr: week ending Novcmbor US.

PRICE OF TURKEY IS 25 CEflTSJE POUND Expected Rednction of Figure Docs Not Materialize at the Week-End.- Turkeys are Btlll 25 centB the pound. It rrao tho opinion of many people that tho price v-aa Just put up because the meat market men lenew poople would have to eat turkeys that no Chrlotmas din ner would be complete without tho bird and that as soon tho tho twenty-fifth had passed tho figures would come down. It. has devoloped that turkeys aro not as plentiful as In former times and ho prlco of 25 cents has come to bo regular. Saturday was an excellent day for tur keyH. Tho Balo was almost as good as at Christmas. But Saturday, ns Is usual ly the caso, was a good day generally on tho market. Tho Bale on fruit was con spicuous and boxes of oranges went llko the provorbial "hot cakes." LIVESTOCK MARKETS. Chicago. CHICAGO. Dec. 28.

Tho statement of clearing houso banks for the five days this week shows that tho bank3 hold f20.170.350 less than tho require ments of tho 25 per cent rulo. This Is an Increase of $11.5S0,650 In tho propor tionate cash reserve, as compared with last week. The statement follows: Loans U.l 47.69 1,400 Decrease 17.752,400 Deposits 1.050,925,400 Decrease 8,508, COO Circulation 71,730,600 Increase 1,077,000 Legal tendors 64.6S6.700 Increase 3,067,300 Specie 1S7.S74.300 Increase 6,371.200 Reserve 242.561,000 Increase 9.43S.C00 Resorve required 262.731.350 Decrease 2.142,150 Deficit 20.170.350 Decrease 11,580.650 Ex-Unltsd States Deposits.. .445,075 Decrease 11,653,875 Tito Financier will say: The showing the associated banks of New York City mado In their statement of Saturduy, December 2S, was by fur tho bost since the subsidence of the late financial Hurry. Tho gain In cash amount ing to $0,348,500, was larger than had been estimated, and represents probably trans actions between banks not recorded in the report of ordinary transactions. Tho heavy liquidation in loans contin ue.", the decrease for the week having been $17,653,000, making a total of nearly 444 millions Klncc the middle of N'ovcrn vor. Deposits fell off $8,563,600, owing to loan liquidation and tho decrease In this item, coupled with the cash Incrcaso al ready noted, brought the banks $1J.6S0, 650 nearer tho elimination of tho resorve deficiency, tho latter now standing at $20,170,350. as against 51 millions report ed six weeks ago. If the 25 per cent ro servo carried by the bunko ogalnHt tho 57S.8S9.100 of Government deposits ho eliminated, the safety of such deposits being secured by plcdscs of bond secur ity. It Is found that the reserve deficien cy on commercial deposits has been made up, tho percentage on this class of business amounting practically to 25 por cent. The disappearance of a premium on currency at the end of the week and tho ro-nalo In London of gold ongaged for American Import go to show thut nor mal conditions In banking are again at hand. It Is truo that tho New York bank statement during tho next week or two will be affoctcd temporarily by tho disbursement of January lntorcst nnd dividend funds, but in this connection it is also true that largo amounts will bo Bent to Now York to meet these require ments. At tho present rate of progress tho middle of January should mark tho extinguishment of the present reserve deficiency. Now York Money. NI3W YORK, Dec. 2S. Close: Prlmo morcantllo paper, 8 per cent.

Tho wheat market was strong all day. Influential tradera bogan to buy at tho opening, and con tinued until tho cloco. Tho chief reason was that tho principal Northwestern grain rocelvlng points roported only, 310 cars today, with cars plentiful, against 478 enrs last year, during tho prox'alanco of tho car famine. Tho belief that the world's ohlpraonts will show a compara tive decllno within the next few weeks was also a strong bullish factor. Thcro was also an Improved demand for milling purposes and from Texas camo tho roport that wheat acreage had been reduced 20 por cent from that of last year, partly because tho farmers fear tho reappearance of tho green bug, and also because of tho desire of plantors to use more land for cotton. The closo waa strong. May wheat pponod 5ic to i8c "higher at $1,061 to 51.06J, sold botweon $1.06i and Jl.OS. and closed at $t.07J. The strength in corn hold throughout the day.
