Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Dec. 4.-To-day's stock market
was left almost entirely to the room trad
prices during the early part of the session
by short sales. Their effort met with little
response. and they covered before the close,
yesterdays close. The movement of prices
was. however. trivial throughout the day.
except in a few special cases. Manhattan
bought yesterday under the mistaken i'm
preston that the underground rapid tran
sit plan had been declared unconstitutional.
Heavy, offerings at the opening. sold the
stock down n point. the owest of the day.
The close was near the low point. after a
fun recovery in the meantime. All sorts Of
rumors were affoat regarding the stock.
and the dealings in 1t were at times quite
feverish. Sugar was traded in for the
ing. the supply of stocks being apparently
large on any advance.
The days news. SO far as 1t was regarded,
was favorable. statements. of the fourth
week earnings that were published showing
large earnings and handsome Increases.
The increase in cash was not sufficient to
cover the increased requirements of, the
legal reserve caused by the heavy increase
in deposits and the consequence is still
There has been nothing in the require
ments of the money market during the week
to account for the expansion of s3.4I6. 500 in
the loans. and it is probably due to bor-
rowing on exchange. This is a part of the
somewhat complicated operation. the SIM
pie result of which is to cave at interest
abroad money whici. has accumulated there
on credit instead Of drawing on IT by ey-
change bills. 1t Is estimated that over
lowed to accumulate in this city during
the week and the fact that prices of ex-
change have not been materially lowered
shows that IT is withheld and the money
loaned abroad. There is a continuance also
of investment buying of long exchange in
anticipation of the usual return movement
OF trade after the first of the year. AL
though the imports of general merchan-
disc at this port for the week show q
sharp falling off, the receipts at the Gus
port movement during November which buy
ers Of long exchange expect will increase
which were imported in anticipation Of the
tariff law.
