EASTERN MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK. Dec. 10. — The support for the market which has been
persisted in for some time past was evidently abandoned today, but whether
voluntarily or forcibly was not clear. There was further calling of loans
by the banks following that of yesterday and the call money rate was run
up to 25 per cent, compared with a maximum rate of 20 per cent yesterday.
This had a bad effect on speculative sentiment, but the force of the de
pression was more direct than through effect on sentiment.
The selling converged especially on the Hill stocks and Reading, and as
these had been picked for the most conspicuous operations in supporting
the advance their sudden relapse was of marked sympathetic effect on the
whole market. Some relative resistance was shown by the coppers, which
might be accounted for by the large short interests in those stocks waiting
to cover on the decline. There was some evidence also of direct transfer
of large accounts from the Hill stocks into the Harriman Pacific. The motive
for the withdrawal of call loan credits by the banks were not clearly under
stood and were perhaps of added unfavorable effect for that reason. ' The
publication in detail of the reports of the New York city national banks
in response to the call of the comptroller of the currency revealed as heavy
an impairment of resources in the case of one or two in which pressure was
especially severe that a bad impression was caused, although the present
solvency of those banks was not thrown open to any doubt. Reports of
negotiations on foot for strengthening or consolidating these institutions
increased the attention given to the subject. It was surmised, furthermore,
that a call from the state banking department for reports of condition of
the state banks and trust companies was in contemplation, and this would
naturally have the effect of prompting some strengthening of position by
those institutions. The compiled digest of the showing of the New York
city national banks was held to confirm the claim of the large resources
supplied by the New York banks to the interior during the period of strain.
Of the total increase in deposits shown on December 3, compared with
August 22, of $76,115,963, there is included an increase of some $46,853,800 in
government deposits in the clearing house banks, while in the items "due
to banks, etc.," there was a 'decrease of $26,240,535. Specie and legal tenders
elso have actually fallen $$268,369, in spite of the enormous inflow of im
ported gold and the large sums of cash transferred from the treasury
department to New York bank vaults. With this exhibit of the heavy drain
en New York which the interior demand has made financial sentiment is
sensitive to the large continuance of that drain shown in the persistent heavy
transfers which are being made to interior points. This demand is keeping
up the premium on currency and was given part responsibility for the active
calling of loans by the banks today. The publication of the reports of
rational banks by cities as they were received at the office of the comptroller
of the currency is demonstrating the fact that the condition of heavy cash
reserves through the interior is not universal, although a general condition of
strength was indicated by first reports from unofficial sources.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, $3,200,000. * United States
bonds were unchanged on ca.lL

Hay and Feedstuffs
Hay continues dull aud weak,' with arrivals
liberal and buyers now Indifferent. Sellers
have to share price* to make sales.
Feedstuffs are still reported firm, with a
larg* and activ* demand for bran, . which is
scarce. . \u25a0 - .
The circular of Somers & Co. says of hay:
"Arrivals of bay have been exceedingly heavy
during the week ending today, the total show
ing 6,170 tons in comparison with 3,600 tons
for last . week. This increase - has been occa
sioned solely . by tbe fact that cars are -now
being furnished in abundance by the Southern
Pacific company, and long - delayed , shipments
are being rapidly marketed. As we under
stand the . situation, ther* are but very few
more cars operating in the state, but th* gen
eral lessening in trade occasioned by th* finan
cial situation -has released many cars' from
general work . and they have promptly been
switched for hay transportation. This has
resulted in more hay. being brought here than
could conveniently he handled and th* trad*
here is now being compelled to issue order*
to ' discontinue : general shipments until th*
market \u25a0 can .be cleaned up. The demand her*
continues a bit quiet, although the ; decrease
in ' consumption .Is by no means great. Ware
house room- is limited in San Francisco, so
tha .market" is' particularly- sensitive to any
oversupply. This has been quite evident from
th* fact that ; some receivers without a regu
lar trade hay* been compelled to sacrifice some
of their holdings. Most of the hay at regular
shipping 7 points is now -In - second hands, *so it
Is "\u25a0• generally ; believed * that * from < now on ship
ments : will ' be regulated :so as not to crowd
the* market' or burden tb* receivers -ia any
way.'. ..\u25a0-.:•-.\u25a0\u25a0-,.'\u25a0\u25a0-'
'"The outlook seems- fairly encouraging, and
If ' general businea conditions become normal
shortly there Is no .reason, why wt : should
not : have ;a. steady market ' for the balance
of the. : season. • . : , .
,; "Although ' some sales have been mad* at

ported yet quotations are being main

market :, will be speedily restored to the rang*
of a week \u25a0 ' ago. The movement •of hay to

on 'the* whole a- fairly active winter market

. Poultry anil Game -
Everything in the chicken" lln* except fryers
and broilers was • decidedly weak yesterday un
der liberal supplies of western and native stock,
and there was a - general decline ia f ull grown
fowls. The stormy weather was also a weaken
ing factor, as \u25a0 many buyers were kept away
from the market, and -even such descriptions as
would have cleaned up under ordinary circum
stances were rather easy at the close, witn
onire alarpe amount unsold. There were no
further arrivals from th« west, but the bulk of
the live cars marketed on the preceding day were
still on hand. Dressed turkey a were In good re
quest and tho available supplies, some 20 cases,
were : readily s disposed . of , » the best • lots even

' Batter, Cheese and Eggs
Yesterday's recelpta of eggs showed quite an
increase.- but the proportion of strictly fresh
stock In th* arrivals was small and the market
was very flrm and higher for such, extras ad
vancing 3c, firsts 5c and seconds 3c a dozen on
the exchange. This sharp advance in values was
due more to the belief that there would be a
run of light receipts "immediately after the
storm than to actual scarcity. Quotatlcns for
storage goods, both local and eastern, were al
lowed to stand.
There were several changes in butter, fresh
extras being l^c a pound higher at 34c. while
fresh flrsts wire lc lower at SOc. and storage
ladles dropped 3c. Fresh extras were very flrm
at the advance, with j buyers usabl* to secur*
enough supplies at the new quotation oa the ex
:hanze. A falling off in the receipts in this
article is also expectad as a result of the storm.
Cheese was unctiangtd. with new California stock
very firmly held.
Actual transactions on the exchange were con
fined to butter, th* sales being as follow*: CO
cases of fresh extras at 83Vi<?. 10 «t 34c and
500 pounds of extra storage ladl* at 21c a pound.
Receipts were 19,100 lb* butter, 1.500 lh*
cbe«se and 866 cases *?gs.
The following are the official quotations as
established by «al«s. bids and offers on th«
floor of the dairy exchange. Prices on tb*
street, while governed by ,tfi« exchange quota

were limiting their purchase* to snail lota.
Even if buyers had been out In force looking- for
oranges, they would hay* had no ' troubl* la ae
