ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Wall Street Has Feared Gold Exports
All the Week,

New York, Dec. 15.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Although call money rates did not go
| to an extreme, there was further pres
sure in the loan market resulting in de-
clines and liquidation throughout the
] security list, more particularly in IN
dus3rials and specialties. The selling
/ in some cases was of a kind that would
plainly indicate that bull pools or large
/ speculative interests We're compelled to
! let go of their holdings. Bearish in
tereSts were very active and after adj
| ding to the depressing factors by their
sales helped the market to steady it
self as it did on Thursday by covering
extensive lines of shorts.
The market had before ii through
out the week the fear of gold exports,
exchange rates advancing in a way
which indicated that gold would prob
ably be taken from New York for Lon
don as the latter seemed unable to
procure a supply at Paris, the actual
result being the engagement of 81. f00,-
coo for shipment by today's steamer.
The fact that sales of bonds to the
treasury have ceased because of the
sharp rise in the market price of gov
ernments had a bad effect, as it cut
off relief through the action of the
treasury and there was a general dis
position to call on Washington for
rurtlef assurance 10 the money mar
ket. Not until Thursday, however, did
Secretary Gage take any steps to meet
this desire. The announcement that
January interest on the public debt,
amounting to $5,500.000 would be an
ticipated for the month though tardy,
was well received and aided in steady
ing the market. Meantime develop
ments had occurred which involved
matters eminently calculated 10 UNI
settle the speculative situation.
The fact that large interests in BoS-
ton. identified with the management of
corporations whose securities have been
active in that market. We're in difficult
ties with respect to their holdings of
mining and other shares reached Wall
street in somewhat indirect way. and
not being clearly understood. gave rise
to reports that there was danger in
the speculative position of large people
in the New York market. Lated on,
when II became known that the Boston
troubles had been adjusted and the
bank there which was involved in them
had been helped through by an issue
Of $500, 600 clearing house certificates,
a feeling Of relief was apparent.
It may be noted, however, that the
heavy sales OF pool stocks and the
breaks in the manipulated specialties,
were apparently started by the I'M
favorable development at Boston, and
under the actual money market condi-
tons gained Roadway as they proceed

RIGA were also among the depressing
factors. leading as they did TO foreign
selling which on Wednesday reached
as much as $4,000 or more shares of
stocks. Considerable amounts of high
grade bonds are said to have been sold
in New York of late for foreign ac-
count, in some instances have been Of
fered at material concessions On
Thursday. however. London removed
its attitude and bought stocks to some
extent.
On the whole the foreign influences
We're adverse and aided the disturbing
factors to keep the market in a ner-
vous state, in which neither earnings,
dividends nor rights" like those to
subscribe for the 10 per cent stock in
crease by the Pennsylvania railroad,
had any effect in checking declines. 1t
would seem, however. that the liquida-
ton of weak accounts and unsound
speculationS have been thorough, and
though the public shows little DISPOSE
ton to trade in stocks there has been
a good deal of out and out buying at
the concessions by permanent or tenn
porary investors, dividend paying
shares receiving much attention from
such quarters.

MEETING OF STOCKMEN.
Important Questions Are to Come Up
at Fort Worth.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec 15.-Arrange-
ments for the meeting of the National
Livestock association are being rapidly
completed. The attendance from the
north and northwest promises to be
very large
One of the most important subjects
to be considered is that of leasing the
public lands to stockmen. At the con-
Vention the proposition was to have the
arid lands conceded to the states, but
this was SO strongly opposed by the
ranchmen, led by Senator Carey of
wyoming. that the resolution failed to
pass This time it will come UP in the
form of resolution favoring the leas-
ing of the grazing lands by the govern
ment to stockmen who are citizens. of
long leases and low rental, but under
such governmental control and super
vision as will protect actual settlers
and prevent the monopoly of unusually
large tracts by corporations.
Another subject that will cause much
discussion is the question of permitting
sheep to Craze on forest reservations
Railroad matters will also be discussed.
as the question of the expectation of
livestock through Texas ports and the
Gulf of Mexico will attract attention.
as western stockmen are interested in
the development of the livestock move
ment through the western tidewater
ports.

BEET SUGAR INTERESTS.
Ogden Men Return From the Ma
tional Convention.

David Eccles, Thomas b. Bee and
George II. Matson returned yesterday
morning from an eastern trip extending
over twelve days. They attended the
convention of beet sugar producers in
Omaha, and Mr.. Eccles, president of the
Ogden Sugar company. told The Herald
last night that in SO far as he could
learn. the beet sugar industry in Utah
has been more successful during the
past season than that of any other
state. 1t was agreed in the convention
that the greatest danger to the industry
consists in the policy of President Nc
kinley, as declared in his message to
congress. wherein he advocates that the
products of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines be admitted duty free. This
would flood the country with cheap su-
gar and would ruin the beet sugar in
dustry in this country. 1t was agreed
also that the members. who represent
ed twelve different states. should use
their utmost influence to prevent such
policy from going into effect.
The gentlemen visited Chicago and
spent some time in that city in the in
terests of the Ogden Sugar company.
