Dec. 6.— The various restric tive' Influences which have brought down . the volume of activity In the stock market had an addition to-day In the stormy weather. The attendance of brokers at the board was meager and the small cumber of room traders hmi the market much to themselves to-day, as they were almost Isolated by the cutting off of wire communication with the outside world. As a consequence the net result of the day's trading was extremely small. The telling by room traders during the early part of the day made tome considerable Inroads upon prices, but m tbe absence of outsid« response, and not desir ing- to remain uncovered over night, they r»- bought the stocks sold «arly, causing a general recovery. The market was really without sig nificance. So far as the sentiment of the day was manifested, th* anxiety over the future of the money market was still evident. The forecast of the weekly bank statement fully Justified this feeling. The banks have appar ently lafet nearly 57,000,000 from their cash re perve* during the week. It will be remembered that last week's loss was understated In the bank statement by nearly $2,000,000 by reason of tne working of the average system of com putation. The movement of currency has been in favor of the interior araln to the extent of nearly $900,000, including the deposits at the eub-Treasury tfer telegraphic transfer to the Interior. The balance of the loss is made up of customs and internal revenue payments and $1,000,000 «xported to South America. Thera Is • th* usual obscurity regarding the changeb In the loan item of the banks. There has been nothing In the stock market to Indicate extensive liquidation of loans. Tension In the time money market has appreciably grown dur ing the week, but call loan rates showed a tendency to relax to-day. ! This is partly due to the lightness of the demand. . The week'* exports of grain show a rising tendency, prom ising some relief from that source for the foreign exchange situation. New Yvrk Stock Market. '¦ The sixth car of Western Poultry for the current week was marketed yesterday, but did not clean up, retailers. being .well supplied.

" Seasonable winter ' weather, hitherto cor>i>plc upuply lacking, has come very much into tvldence this we?k, with the result of ex panding retail trade in winter goods, rubbers and wearing apparel generally. Killing -frosts have about put a period to the marvelous fall season of 1902, and in the South the cotton crop may be said to be made, so far as fur ther jrrowth is concerned. All the usual sea sonable ' changes have about come to pass. Dairy products and produce generally are high er, lake navigation is about over,« Iron ore shipments have ended after the greatest tr.cve ment on record, and the wheat crop has gone into winter quarters with a fair covering of snow in northern latitudes and with a very generally satisfactory condition ruling through out much of the admittedly very large acre age. Threshing Is about completed in . the Northwest and farmers display more willing ness to part with their products. The year's approaching end finds prices well up to the highest . point in eighteen . months, though meats are steadily declining on good receipts. Next to the expectations partly realized that an enormous holiday business will be done the most notable feature Is the practical unanimity of rpinion that a large spring trade is in prospect. . • ' 'HOGS — Live Hogs, 160 lbs and up, OVic; under 160 lbs, 6©6%c; feeders, 5%@5%c; sows. 20 per cent -off; boars, 50 per cent off, and stags 40 per cent off from above quotations.

'Outside of Argentine advices, which'' were construed .as .somewhat . bearish, . there was nothing . in the way of news to influence values. .' What little trading there was camo from locals, the- poor condition of the tele graph wlre3 keeping back many, orders from outsiders. , May opened a shade lower to %@ We up at 75%c to 70c, and after selling off to 70 r ;»c there was a rally to 75%@75%c, but another decline followed, the price touching 75Uc The close was %<y%c lower at 75%c. Corn was dull -and easy, the clear, cold weather being more favorable for the move ment and cradlng. The opening was firm on better cables, but a: weaker feeling soon de veloped and -continued throughout the day. May closed unchanged at 43V4@-*3%c. Oats were firm, but trading was light. May closed unchanged at 32%c. Provisions were . active and there was a strong tone to the market, commission houses and packers being good buyers.
