GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. The weak temper
of the stock market during the latter
portion of last week was continued to-
day, and even greater loss was sus-
tanned than on either of the days OF last
week when prices dropped. There was
no apparent cause for the weakness i'll
either the railroad or business world.
bui many were inclined to look upon it
as natural consequence of the too
rapid advance of the past ten days. The
market at the close, however, is again
near the point where investors who pay
for and lake away their securities are
coming in, and such orders materially
increase as the prices go down. Ths
feeling is general upon the street that by
the lst of January a decided change for
thu better may be expected in the none
tsry situation. the improvement be-
.ug Indicated 10y the gains which are be-
ing made by the banks in all important
financial ceuters.
Railroad bonds quiet but good.
Government bonds dril and steady.
State bonds featureless.
