NEW YORK STOCKS.
Share and Bond Markets Both Dull, the
Former Ruling Slightly Lower, and
the Latter Slightly Higher-yan-
derbIIts the Strong Point.

NEW YORK Dec 23-The market to-day was
very dull throughout, but especially so in the
afternoon. and remained heavy to weak as a
rule until the last hour when there was a par
tlal recovery of former fractional losses Con-
sidering the limited market. there was in the
forenoon considerable bear pressure, and in
Union Pacific, Rock Island, st. Paul, Missouri
Pacific and Chicago Gas there were moderate
lines of short stock put out.
The Vanderbilts, as usual of late. were the
one strong point in the list, Lake Shore es-
pecially showing marked strength. The re-
ports of the different roads were generally up
to the expectations and Lake Shore in partic-
ular made a most fattering exhibit 1t ad-
vanced in the early dealings and was held at
the best figures throughout the day.
In the morning hours all the Grangers were
weak, and st. Paul dropped away over 4 per
cent Silver was also again weak and touched
10lh, and severe pressure upon Chicago Gas
brought that stock down from $50 to 333l. The
pressure entirely ceased after delivery hour,
however, and a general improvement took
place, by which portion of the early losses
was recovered, and silver certificates moved up
rapidly on the prospect of action on the bill
for the purchase of the surplus bullion in the
country. The dullness continued until the
close, which was firm at the rally.
The final changes are in but few cases for
more than small fractions, and generally IN the
direction of lower figures, but Chicago Gas is
down ~ and Lake Shore is up u.
Railroad bonds were dull, but displayed
changes tonight are in the direction OF higher
prices, though the important ones are few.
The sales reached 5000, without special
activity in any one issue. The advances include
Houston and Texas Central certificates, 2A to
to 7234; Louisville and Nashville generals, = to
1l2%; Missouri Pacific thirds, to La, and La
Clede Gas 5s, 2 10 79.
The Post says: The annual reports of the
Vanderbilt roads seemed 10 have set the board
room traders to thinking rather than trading,
for even such scalping trading as there was in
the first hour or two ceased after u o'clock,
and in the two hours to . o'clock the market
was almost at q standstill, with almost no
change in prices of railroad stocks Silver,
however. was weak, and went easy . to 2l% on
sales of 40. 600 ounces, an amount equal to only
400 shares of railroad stocks at par. When
anything declines rs easily as this, it shows
that it is getting heavy TO hold, and it is not
necessary to try to explain it, as was being
done in the street to-day, the result of opera
tons by Washington pool which wishes to &C.
cumulate stock.

Supply of cold storage eggs is in excess of de-

yesterday. Southern eggs are coming in
freely, but being of doubtful age, are also
weaker. Nearby stock is steady. Last weeks
prices of creamery were reaffirmed at Elgin at
the Monday meeting of the board. but markets
were weak. Potatoes and apples are firm. and
choice stock is active at outside quotations.
Demand for poultry is active ard prices are
firm. Supplies are likely to be large. but there
is no probability of glut. Pittsburg's capacity

MARKETS BY WIRE.
The Carrying Charges an Anomalous Fea-
ture in Wheat-DecIines in Corn, Oats
and Provisions-Local Scalpers Again
Depress the Price of Corn.

Depress the Price of Corn.
CHICAGO-The wheat market put on an
appearance of more steadiness at the begin
ming to day, moved thereto by decrease of
SO COO OOO barrels IN the amount of wheat on
passage. The Liverpool market was quoted
easier at I'D decline, but Beerbohm reported
the cargo trade good and feeling strong. The
carrying charges are most anomalous feature
of the business at present. Here December
and Nav keep about cent apart; at Mil
waukee the spread is about cent; at st. Louis
tits 4 cent: at Toledo cent, and the December
and May deliveries were to-day being sold in
New York at the same price. The spread at
Minneapolis is about cent and at Duluth 9
cent.
The opening price was 9Slz cent. and trading
for some time after the start was light and the
fluctuations narrow. ranging from 9S cent to
$50 cent. 1t was not until near u o'clock that
the bulls lost all hope Of rally and that busi-
ness began TO increase in volume. The decline
was not stopped until the price had declined to
O. cent or lIsc lower than yesterdays closing
h"ures. At the close the trading was at 9I5ss q
yI12 cent.
The corn market was again left to the tender
mercies OF the local scalpers, who are bearlsh
and in consequence prices declined. There
were selling orders from st. Louis. The hrst
support given to values came from the buying
against puts. from which cause there was 4
temporary reaction. bit 1t was not of long con-

corn was the principal depressing influence.
No corn was sold for January delivery at 45c,
and No was nOminally worth 4ec early TO 4Sc
al the close May corn opened at 5i5sc. declined
to 5l15c, recovered to 5l$ldjllsc, declined once
more. getting down to 5Stsc before there was
much reaction.
Oats suffered q further decline, and closed
sc lower than on the previous day. The mar
ket attracted 4 larger number of traders and
showed rather more than the usual amount of
business. First sales of May were at decline
OF &c, the price being 1876. An advance fol-
lowed to 446HIsc. Then the price declined to
4H 8c but hardened to 4519@1433sc bid on the
close. December and January remained dull
and inactive.
The provision market was fairly active at
times but prices were again lower, packers on
both SIDES of the market buying fairly and SELL
ing later. The lard and ribs deals were mar
row and dull. The fluctuations were con-
fined to about 21%c but the feeling was heavy
and the tendency downward. The actual de-
cline in price to-day was slight.

Flexible Curry Comb.

The currying of a thin-skinned horse is
often an operation as trying to the temper of
the groom as to the hide of the animal, and
a considerable amount of practical phiian-
thropy is embodied in such inventions as a
flexible curry comb. which has recently
made its appearance. This comb has
leather back and teeth made OF coppered
wire. The points OF the teeth are rounded
and flexible, and thus. while effectualIy
cleaning the skin, they obviate the excessive
irritation suffered by many horses. 1t is
claimed that by this construction all the
good points of the softest rubber combs and
those made with sharp teeth are combined,
and thus one comb will take the place of

Stock trading was on a holiday basis yester-

one was anxious to buy, and there was no pres

factions
That weak feeling should be uppermost
under such circumstances was quite natural.
But this was more noticeable on the floor than
on the board, figures being practicallythe same
as those of the previous close. Such conces-
sions as were made were for small fractions.

A Novel Sign.

An enterprising trunkmaker has made a
very striking application OF electricity for
the advertisement of his wares. In the front
of his store he has erected pedestal Of
polished brass, surmounted by framework,
representing the usual trimmings of an
ordinary trunk. Inside this framework is
placed trunk of beveled French plate glass,
which is illuminated in the evening by
electric light, and which constitutes a
unique method OF advertising. The main
part OF the sign is spiral in design, and is Of
solid brass, excepting small hole through
the center to pass electric wires through, and
on the base OF the structure is conspicuously
inscribed the name of the firm.
