J New York, Dec. 3.-There was no change
| in the character of the market to-day
from that which has prevailed for several
days past. Activity was for the most part
confined to the specialties and the extreme
| range in the price of many leading rail-
London was a seller of Americans again.
The Changers were remarkably duh and
sluggish in spite of the st. Paul statement
for the fourth week in November showing
a level of earnings, Notwithstanding the
bad weather prevailing. There was a
| slight pressure of realizing sales in North
ern, Union and Central Pacific but In the
| case of the latter there was subsequent
rebound of 15s Sugar dropped a sharp
fraction at the opening on rumors of
| further reduction in the price of the pro-
| duct. Pacific Mail was also a strong fea-
ture and moved up to 4Oas on the good bus
| mess outlook for the company. There
was a resumption Of the upward move
ment in Federal Steel and apparent SYM
pathetic advances in Tennessee Iron and
Colorado Fuel. The decrease in surplus
reserve, shown by the bank statement,
was due to increased requirements on ac-
count of the deposit increase.
In the bond market the course of prices
has been continually upward during the
week on a large and well distributed vol
ume of business. United States 2s, the
3s and new As, and the SIS, registered,
have advanced % and the Old As and the
SIS, coupon, Il in the bid price.
