ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Dec 17-Today's stock
market was more or less depressed all
day. though final prices were considerably
better than the lowest point for the day.
Liquidation was not heavy outside of few
special stocks, and the sagging tendency
of prices seemed to be due rather to an
absence Of actual demand. Some of the
recent prominent bulls bought stocks on
4 downward scale of prices. but without
any attempt to sustain values. Manhat-
tan and New Jersey Central continued to
be the principal objects Of manipulation,
as was the case yesterday, and Sugar con-
tinued to show weakness, its decline from
yesterday reaching at one time per cent,
but with final rally leaving It's net loss
only fractional. Manhattan was traded in
ex-dividend, and was quite feverish up to
the time Of the announcement of the decis-
ion OF the appellate court on the under
ground rapid transit plan. This news.
which had been discredited, caused the
shorts to cover the price advancing over
two points, with only fractional reac-
ton, due to the same cause, which helped
Metropolitan Street Railway, and there
was, in addition. report of business
agreement with the competing company.
There was some continued apprehension
regarding the immediate future Of the
money market, and the time money mar
ket was quoted at per cent for thirty days
and 49, per cent for 90 to 80 days. For
call loans 3 per cent continued to be paid
but the rate eased off to 2 per cent in the
fianl hour. New York banks have gained
on balance during the week from the cur
rency movement, but have lost heavily to
the sub-treasury, and the condition of the
surplus reserve to be shown tomorrow by
the bank statement will depend on the
amount Of loans which have been called
There was no further fall in sterling ex-
change today, but yesterdays sharp de-
cline here was reflected in a stiffening of
the London discount rate to 81 per cent,
which is a per cent above the Bank of
England's minimum rate. Confidence was
expressed that the redemption by the gov
eminent of the currency skies, beginning
next Friday, would serve as a safeguard
against stringency in the money market
But there is much room for uncertainty
as to what amount of these bonds will be
presented for redemption before January
|, when they mature. The next payment
Of Union Pacific purchase money into the
treasury Is to be on December 27, the
amount being $S,500,0O0, the final payment
Of an equal amount falling due on January
5. In addition the usual heavy accumula-
ton of funds preliminary to the January
disbursements. of dividends and interest
is to be reckoned with.
AS a result of the rally before the close
of today's market, net losses are in most
important instances reduced to fractions,
the notable exceptions on the side of gains
having been already indicated, Some mac
tive stocks showed losses Of from to 2
per cent. There was q marked falling of
in activity in the bond market and some
issues show loss. Union Pacific 41ks de-
cllning points. Total sales, $1,750,00O
Government bonds were steady and I'M
changed.

Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO. Dec. lit was the dullest
wheat market for weeks, Prices opened
shade easier because of the heavy snow
fall and the failure Of Liverpool to re-
spond to advances here yesterday. May
started M@Hc lower. Trade was excess
lively narrow. The enormous clearances
from Atlantic and gulf ports, amounting
to LOSSES bushels, were the heaviest for
one day in the past two weeks. Liver
pool opened sd. higher than it closed yes
terday, but had lost all. but Nd. before
the session commenced here. Later it lost
the 1sd. of Its early gain. Paris was firm
and noted advances of 40 centimes in flour
and from to confines rise in near de-
liveries of wheat to cents for the March
May term. Liverpool acceptances from
abroad of wheat offers cabled from the
seaboard yesterday were reported, and
near the end of the session here the guam
tity taken was reported to be twenty-seven
boatloads. general desire to let loose
scalping lines of wheat characterized the
trading in the last half hour, and prices
broke fresh ground in the underslide of
the previous lowest limit of the range.
That was all there was in the closing de-
cline which dragged May down. The ele-
vator people delivered after change not
less than 100000 bushels, and possibly L.
10000 bushels on December contracts.
Most of 1t came from Armour & Co.
Corn during the morning was quite ac-
tive and prices were firm under the de-
mand. Later In the day 1t became weak
in sympathy with wheat, closing Ac lower.
Oats were irregular. May closed Hc
lower.
Provisions were not so active today, and
a decline followed selling by packers. At
the close May pork was TIC lower, May
lard SC lower, and May ribs TIC lower.
