ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Prices of stocks
showed further decline today and there
was nothing to indicate that the decline
was due to any other cause than the pre-
ponderance of those who desired to sell
over those who desired to buy. There was
some short selling by the professional
bears, but no marked recuperation, such
as would be caused by the covering of
shorts was manifest, and the bears, If they
sold, were apparently content to leave
their contracts open. The specialties con-
tfnued to absorb the largest share of
business The market showed a hoader
tendency. and the liquidation extended
more generally through the list. Net loss
es of large fraction are general through
out the list and number of prominent
specialties and railroad stocks, notably
among southern and southwestern roads,
and the coalers show net losses of a point
or over. Yesterdays furry in the money
market, which carried rates up to per
cent, was not repeated today, but rates
were firm, and the largest part OF the
days transactions was made at 3h per
cent. The clearing house statement dis
closes that the January interest disburse-
ments resulted in the transfer of a little
over M'O0O,000 from the treasury to the
New York money market, as indicated by
the sub-treasury debit balances.
The days exchanges at the clearing
house ran up to the enormous total Of
$3.50, 731,265, and the balances footed up
over $165Oo,000. Tomorrow's Union Pacific
payment of $s,500,000 which is to be Gov
cred into the treasury in cash, doubtless
figures in the transactions, but there were
evidently heavy banking transactions In
addition quite sufficient to account for the
furry in the money market yesterday. In
view of the proportionately small surplus
reserve, there are not such confident pre-
dictions heard of an immediate easing of
the rates Of money as were current last
week. though the exchange market holds
firm on demand which is based on a
presumption Of lower rates for money In
the near future.
The demand for bonds was not heavy to-
day, but prices were well held. Total sales,
81, $4,000.
United States old tours. registered, were
n lower bid today and the flves were *
