NEW YORK, December 3.— Prices were
both ' "above Mnd below last night's Icvol in
t.o-day'fl marivct. Tlic tradlr-sr. which has
been Ktrlctly professional for several
was in the hunds of the smaller
class of- tracers, nnfl Uielr operations
evhowfrt .lncrfn«7?g hepltatJon and uncer
■jjtint.y. There were occapion«l attempts
on the part of speculative pools to put
i:p prices, but any considerable advance
rapt rcalisliiß sales of sufficient volume tc
check tho rlf=c The pressure to fell was
rot at all urgent, and showed prompt .re
laxation at* the "lower level nf prlcc-s.
V]ier<! pupporti-.R orders were nlso tn
count^rcd. The result was n constant
hhlfiirig of the "course of pricc-s. within

features '.to the trading:; although tho re
cp;it speculative favorites maintained
lljelr prominence. Thc-so weru the local

The chief repressive influence on the
•speculation, wns t?:e tightcninsr course of
the money market- There was no money
offering on call at less than 7 P^ r cent, at
the opening.' The' rate subsequently de
clined as low as:.6;per cent, during tho
active period of tho day. and to below
•that before the close. Time money was
distinctly firmer. G per cent, being quoted
for all periods;, up to six months,, with
a commission demanded for the shorter
periods. whicliVmado the rate ['equivalent
10~ per cent.'. Now York^lnstitutions were
entirely out of the market for mercan

ture in oats, and the opening was strong.

George H. Phillips says: The .general
belief is that the Armour concern Ins
sold out all its long wheat, but this mnv
be doubted for the reason that It -is hard
to conceive, such an" amount of'whont.
liaving been sold without causing- innr.p. of
r. break.
Possibly It was bought for the- same
proplo, through another set of brokers.
If yrn are not long some .wheat., buy
some this morning, or on any break.
I believe corn and oats are both'-Ayork
ing to a higher level. -.'•

M.-*' .-RTC^'I"--
NEW YORK. Tuesday Evening. Vz
t-ombor '2.— ln this section demand
for T)i"-iron is light, and the tone of the
market is eas.-i^but there is no quotable
change n' prices. .There are no orders
for "orward'delivery. and buying to cover
nre«ent wants is limited. -to smaxl .qt^,
andithose chiefly of Rveign material.
From the -Middle West, however, there
come reports of a better, demand for trn-.t
iron! to cover, requirements left unoro
vided for by non-deli verieS on existing
contracts. In the South a weaker fio.
ine' is reported, due 'to "the free arrivnl
of foreign metal. A Philadelphia report
states that prospects in rtgrnrd to trans
portation are more favorable, ana tuat
on the whole the trend of events seems
to be toward, a dull and easy market for
the balance of the year."'. • < -

RICHMOND PRODUCE MARKET.
The market yesterday wa? dull and fea
tureless. Owing to the warm weather ?.nd
heavy receipts of both live and dressed
poultry and game the prices were off
from one to two cents a pound. Wednes
day Is usually a quiet day. but unless cool
weather follows at once poultry will be a
glut on the market. ;. Twelve, cents a
pound was outside yesterday morning for
dressed turkeys, and good rabbits sold ,
for 11 and 12U cents apiece. The re- i
ceipts of birds are increasing, but the j
prices, are .well maintained because a
many are being placed on cold storage.
