New York stock Market.
Reported by c. W. Branch & Co., bankers
and brokers, No. I'LL Main street.

NEW YORK. January S.-There was an
intensely bear development to-day. when IL
became morally certain that Reading would
pay u0 interest on the 5s,O0O,00O Of income
bonds. This is not official, but as we say,
Us morally certain. The clique which has
been pulling Reading stock is alleged 20
have arranged with the Wormsers for The
purchase of nearly fifty thousand shares this
morning. and in consequence the heavy
London selling has no effect on the stock, al
though lhe bonds were weak, and the bulls ON
the other coal stocks rapidly marked them
up ON the shorts or more per cent All the
could stocks were strong, but the grangers
and sugar were weak. After the first rush
of the frightened shorts the prices for all
stocks fell Oh. and the closing was only with
some stocks weak. There are as yet no
signs of a revival of interest i'm speculation
by the public. and such developments as
That in Reading do not tend TO assist such
revival.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
A Favorable Bank Statement Saves Shares
From a Marked Decline-The Market
is Irregular and Final Changes
Are Very Slight.

Are very SnRht.
NEW YORK, Dec 13-The stock market to-
day was irregular in its movements but while
fluctuations were wide for the two hours the
net result of the movement is to leave every
thing only fractionally changed from last
nights prices. The opening was made at ma
teral declines from last nights figures, under
heavy selling by the arbitrage brokers because
of report OF the failure of an operator IN Lon
dol said to be largely interested IN American
securities. The failure was afterward reported
to be of no significance.
There was good buying all along the line
however, and the opening losses were generally
recovered in the first half hours trading, the
disposition being to discount favorable bank
statement. The statement, when issued,
showed an increase in the surplus reserve, and
once more placed the banks on the right side
of the 25 per cent rule. The impression was
good, and as large amount of gold is due to
arrive here next "Wednesday, the statement of
next Saturday is expected 20 give the banks
comfortable surplus.
These considerations were paramount in the
early trading, but when the demand Stacked
away the traders, who are bearish and are
fighting the rise, came In to hammer the mar
ket with the help of the bearish contingent,
and the advances over the opening prices were
in many cases completely wiped out.
There is large short interest in the market
at present. and any attempt to cover would re-
suit in material advance because SO much
stock has been taken from the street that as
the market advances, there is scarcity of op-
eIStlouS. Inc QeCllOe, therefore,, MADE no
further progress, and the bank statement had
the effect of raying the list in the last few min
utes.
The market closed firm, with a good feeling
at the rally. Final prices, however, are gener-
ally frGctionally lower than those of last even
ing. though there are a few advances, but no
important change IN either direction.
