EASTERN MARKETS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET NEW YORJC Dec. 6.— Today's stock market lacked much of the ani mation of that of yesterday, but was even more irregular in its move ments. The tendency, until near the end of the day was to a higher level, but without the vigor of the spurts which carried up prices yester day. The heavy tone at the outset was attributed to the news of the clos ing of a national bank at Pittsburg. The effect was shorter lived and less pronounced than that of the Kansas City failure of the day before and, in fact, the suspension was soon seen to be of much less importance. The Kansas City failure, on the other hand, continued to create a bad impression, and its influence extended to foreign markets. Other un fevorable influences on stocks were the sustained premium on currency, which was paid on some large amounts during the day, and a rather firmer tone of the call money market. The recovery in the currency premium was said to be due partly to the demand for weekly payrolls. The Pittsburg bank failure also had some influence on the demand for currency. It is evident that so long as cash resources are so much held in smaller banks throughout the country, as the responses to the ; comp troller's call reveals that they are, there will be a vast curtailmc^ of the usual facilities of exchange by checks on the banks, in the central por tions. The lack of the usual resources for use of such partial substitutes for money, and which perform many of the functions of money In normal conditions of credit, undoubtedly accounts in large part for the persistence of the premium on currency. Until the banks outside of the central re serve cities avail themselves of their privilege under the banking law of each depositing a half or two-fifths of their reserves in the central re ftrve banks, the dislocation of the domestic exchange will continue to a greater or less extent. The significant facts in the day's news in this con nection were the fall to par in the New York exchange rate at Chicago for the first time since the closing of the Knickerbocker trust company ar.dNa decline to a discount of the New York exchange at Boston. The hardening of the call money rate may have had a connection with the payment of the $3,000,000 installment on Great Northern new stock, which was made today. It has not escaped notice that the sudden rise in Hill stocks, which started the rally in stocks, has come very opportunely for stock holders who had the-payment to make today and one of $11,625,000 on January 1 for an installment of subscriptions to Northern Pacific new stock. The_ expanded dealings in stocks, which have accompanied the week's rise in prices must also have increased the borrowings of funds on call . The estimates of the week's^ currency movement gave nothing to ac count for the firmer tone of call funds, a liberal cash gain by the banks being indicated. The shipments to the interior were the smallest since the heavy demands in that direction developed, and the continued re ceipts of imported gold made more than an offset, the net gain resulting being apparently upward of $6,000,000. The week's operations in stocks seem to promise an expansion of the loan item, but a substantial reduc tion of the deficit in the legal reserve of the banks is hoped for in tomor row's bank statement The market showed the effect of the large reduction ia the outstanding short interest in growing degree as the day progressed, snd closed heavily with surprisingly small net changes, considring the day's active fluctuations. Londs were firm. Total sales, p ar value, $4v730,000. United States 2s advanced \X a "d the 4s # per cent on call. Aevr Tork Stock XJat E. r.

Bullish work is likely to continue in the stock market with specific recessions. Th« rapidity is due entirely to the nervousness of the ehorte, according: to Investigations. ) As soon as tlic major portion of these bear com mittments are retired it is probable that the excitement will subside and reactions be more i frequent. The advocated policy of taking up comparatively dormant issues proved profitable in yesterday's • market to those who followed it. and brokers believe it wilt still be advisable to pursu* this method conservatively. ! Pur chases on recessions of moderate extent, as stated, win be far preferable to rushing along with short*. Condition of the Treasury WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.— Today's statement of the treasury balances in the general fund stows: Available cash balances, $249,961,155;* g<.»ld coin and bullion, $81,643,371; gold certifi cates. $62,612,690. A'evr York Cotton Market NEW YORK, Dec. 6. — Hutton's wir© says: Tbe local market opened steady at 8 points de cline, which was better than was due on cables. The trading was quite active and large. There was bull support from the start that took . the price up to a high point. As to the advance, everybody is bullish on It and the bears »m afraid to sell at it. About the only sailing is for profits. Tbe spot i situation is strong and there is -an active, demand. . There is a tip out that some one has the ginners* report, . also the government report, but brokers take- no stock in it. They believe the pinners' report, due Mon day at the opening, will be bullish compared with last year, but ll%c discounts all such, and as to the government crop report, due Tues day at 1 o'clock, that it will be more bearish than the trade is looking for. Tbe traders are much mixed and are guessing all the way from 11,250.000 to 12,000,000 bales. It. Is a broad and active market. I Greene says the bull crowd ar» 'long up to their necks and are trying to get prices trp, but they are likely to turn at any moment and throw large blocks on tbe market, and there being no large short interest prices would then probably break. Ideas. on the forthcoming glnners' report range from 5,200,000 to 8,500,000 bales ginned, and on the government report from 11,400,000 to 12,000,000 bales for the crop. Option — Open. High.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TUADE3 *" Future Grain and Provisions CHICAGO, Dec. 6. — Decreased stocks of wheat in the northwest and the firmness of the stock market had a strengthening Influence today on the local wheat market, the May delivery clos ing at a gain of %@^c. Corn was off tic ° Oats were a shade higher. Provisions were 10@27%c lower. ,• The wheat market was inclined to be w«ak at the start, owing to . advices from Argentina to tbe effect that harvesting is progressing favor ably and that the crop is in good condition. The suspension of another national bank also had a depressing effect during the first hour. A moderate advance at Liverpool, however, held New York wouldbe sellers In check and conse quently trading was of a light volume. The market developed considerable firmness toward the middle of the day because of sharp ad vances at Minneapolis and Winnipeg, due to depleted stocks of wheat at those centers. The 6trength of the stock list and the an nouncement that all depositors of the bank that closed its doors today will be paid la full im parted some strength, to wheat. Tb« close was firm.

Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 593 cars, against 1,546 cars last week and 643 cars a year ago. . Trading in corn was dull : and the market wss rather weak all day. A decline in live hogs, liberal receipts and a falling off in demand for cash corn were the principal bearish Influences. The close . was easy. May opened unchanged to fee lower at 56%©56% c, sold at 56% c and then declined to 66% c. The close was at 56&»c. Local receipt* were 181 cars with seven of con tract grade. . .

LOCAL MARKETS San Francisco Money Market The local market continued qulat yesterday, with bankers - reporting conditions steadily im proving. Forward exs of * Calif ornia produce to eastern and other consuming markets are receiv ing all necessary accommodation from their bankers, and the products of the state are there fore moving forward freely. There Is plenty of money on hand to finance the. taxes, which do not become delinquent until the last of January, so this matter is giving the banks very little concern. Rates for loans and exchange exhibit but few variations, and those narrow. The bank failures at Kansas City and Pittsburg have no effect on this market Silver wss «4c lower, i Paris exchantr« on Lon don and New Xork on Paris were higher. Do mestic rates stood as before. The bankers are not concerned oxer tbe at tempt at Sacramento to counterfeit the Oakland clearing house certificates. They say that th« Oakland certificates were on plain white paper. But the San Francisco certificates ar«» an entirely different proposition. • In the first place they are lithographed on tinted i paper like the. United States note*, with a most delicate.- Intricate and complex pattern, extremely difficult to imitate. Then again the San Francisco banks have bought up all of this bank note paper and no counter feiter can get hold of any. Furthermore, in or der to successfully counterfeit our local certifl- : cates would require months in the preparation of machinery and the elaborate equipment neces sary, and the certificates will all be retired and out of circulation before all this elaborate equip ment could bo got ready. The clearing bouse authorities accordingly regard this Sacramento proceeding with equanimity.' Internal Revenue Collections . In November the collections of Internal rev enu«s in tbe first district of California, - which includes San Francisco, were as follows: ' Articles — \ .

''•• Oats— The feature of yesterday's market was the -sale of ; 7,000 sacks extra fancy Oregon whites at $1.80. . The.saje, however, was excep tional, as the buyer had been looking for a round lot ' of •; oats • all', of , the \u25a0 same quality for some time and: was willing .to pay an extra price for such a 10t..; Hence the price can hardly bo called a guiding quotation.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables Business in green produce, which ia nearly al ways quiet on Friday, was more than ordi narily dull yesterday, as the wet weather ham pered trade by keeping many buyers away from the market. Prices were weak as a rule, onions and choice tomatoes alone being firm oa light supplies. Buyers were purchasing spar ingly of southern yegetables. and the limited supplies of p«as, beans and peppers proved more than sufficient for current needs. Egg plant from the Los Angeles region was offering at 10igl2Vic per pound but found few takers, while summer squash from the same source and hothouse cucumbers were slow of sale. There was no Improvement In the potato market, sjp pUes of everything being large and the demand light.

I Poultry- and Game The poultry market was very liberally snp plied yesterday, there being two more cars uf western chickens on hand besides about 60 coops \u25a0from state points and quite a carry-over from the preceding day. Retailers were paying but little attention to the market and even large fat hens and frying and broiling chlckena. which bad been In f sir request, were Inclined to drag. Yesterday's arrivals from the middle west brought the total receipts from that source for the week up to six cars, altogether too much for the market la these quiet times. Receipts of dressed turkeys were quite large, being near ly three tons, but prices held steady for choice stock. Game -was In free supply and rather quiet, with prices for wild ducks inclined to easiness.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs Fresh extra eggs recovered the !S«£c l^st on the preceding dsy, closing firm on the exchange at 49c bid, and fresh firsts were also higher at 42% c a dosen, an advance of 2^c. It devel oped that the pressure to sell on Thursday was 111 adTlsed, as yesterday's arrivals were light and the proportion of extras In the receipts waa much smaller than some receivers seemed to have expected. There was nothing whatever doing in tfresh seconds or thirds, and storage goods were also neglected. There was some liberal selliar of eitra but ter on the exchange, but all of the stock offered was quickly taken and the price was easily maintained. Cheese was firm, with sell ers 'asking - a slight advance for fancy local flats on the exchange. The following sales were made on the ex change: Butter — 30 cases of fresh extras at S2'--jc and 50 cases at 82c per pound. Kggs— 6 cases of fresh at i4s>sc snd 5 at M7Uc: close firm at 49c bid and 50c asked. Receipts were 15.000 lbs butter, 89,300 lbs cheese and 417 esses eggs.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits Testexday was a very quiet day In the frnlt market, there being no Inquiry of any conse quence for anything on regular local account and buying ' for shipment on the - Honolulu steamer was much lighter than expected. In the apple department fine Spltsenbergs were still a firm feature on light stocks, while all of the other varieties were plentiful and weak, with sellers wtlllng to shade prices to buyers of round lot). Everything In the citrus line was quiet, with a heavy tone prevailing, and oranges would probably have been lower but for the fact that nearly all of the supplies were purchased at stiff - figures In the growing districts. Pears and persimmons were dull and largely nominal, while grapes held steady on small arrivals. Only one chest of : strawberries came In from nearby districts. They were of the Longworth variety and were peddled out at the flat rate of 75c a drawer. Ten crates of large strawberries were received from Los Angeles and a few sales were reported at $2.50 \u25a0 a crate. r Berries — Strawberries, nominal: cranberries.
