The Market Was Almost Entirely In Their
Hands for a Time.
EFFORT TO OEpaEss UNSUCCESSFUL
Tho Bank Statement was without
Special Innuenco-a Very Heavy
Demand Abroad for High Crude
American Ruilroud Bonds-sIisht
Fractional Changes.

New York. Dec. 4.-To-day's stock
market was left almost entirely to the
room traders and they seemed disposed
ITO depress prices during the early part
or the session by short sales. Their
effort met with little response and they
covered before net close, bringing prices
IN most cases Slightly above yesterdays
close. The movement of prices was,
however, trivial throughout the day,
except iul a few special cases.
The bank statement was without
Special influence to-day. The increase
In cash was not sufficient to cover the
increase in requirements of the legal
reserve caused by the heavy increase
IN profits and the consequence Is Still
Iurther decline in the surplus reserve.
Ihere has been nothing In the general
requirements of the money market dur
ing the week to account for the eNpan-
sion of S3,df6,500 in the loans, and it
Is probably due TO borrowing on eX-
change. This is a part of the some
what complicated operation the simple
result Of which is to leave at interest
abroad the money which has accumu-
lated there on credit instead of draw
2 ing orl 1t by exchange bills. It is es-
timated that over $4,000. 900 of foreign
exchange has been allowed to accumu-
late In this city during the week, and
the fact that prices of exchange have
not been materially lowered shows that
IL Is withheld and the money loaned
abroad. There is a continuance also OF
investment buying of long exchange in
anticipation of the usual return move
ment Of trade after the first Of the year
London advices during the week have
represented very heavy American de-
1rand In that market for high grade
American railroad bonds. The same de-
mand has existed in the New York
market with very limited supply
which was largely furnished for for
eigr account, as well as in London
rms would indicate further heavy
transfer to this side of the water of
the highest priced railroad securities in
sufficient volume to have quite an APP
prec!ablc effect on the exchange bal
ancc.
The total sales of stocks were 100, 900

Financier says this week:

the week. Loans are now within 81, 300. :
