left for US to do Is to keep our weather
eye open and watch the movements of

the number of gallant boys who have
lost their lives over there, saying no

eastern market status as follows:
The demands for spot cargoes in the Allan
tic seaboard soft coal trade is heavy, and the
prevailing weather will in all probability in

Loading coal on board has been a difficult
work. Car loads are sometimes frozen solid
so that the coal has to be barred apart. A

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Dec. 7.-Dealing on the
stock exchange approached a condition
OF stagnation several times today, at
intervals between periods of spasmodic
activity, The day was almost an ex-
act repetition of yesterday, with pc
RODS of strength at the opening and
near the close, and an interval of acute
weakness in some stocks. The early
strength was largely due to the cheer
full view Of American securities taken
by London operators, who bought
largely in this market. Rather posi-
tive evidence of strength in Union Pa
clfic helped on the late rally
The Iron and Steel stocks were quite
conspicuous in the early strength, prob
ably on account of covering operations
by bears who sold them yesterday, but
this only served to make them more
Vulnerable to attack, and their subse-
quent relapse was quite violent The
same was true of the Anthracite group
which advanced sharply, and then de-
veloped acute weakness, New Jerset
Central leading with a fall of three
points. The Tobacco stocks were the
seVerest sufferers on reports of a pro-
Jected opposition in the trade by inter
ests which have been retired from the
present companies. American Tobac-
co and Continental Tobacco dropped 4
and 2& respectively.

legislation, seemed to have only slight
effect on railroads, and when pressure
relaxed against the industrials, there
was not much difficulty in bidding UP

Omaha rose 2 and Union Pacific tx.
AS a consequence, the list shows a fair
admixture of net gains. The condition
of the money market served to discour-
age any new speculative commitments.
A weak bank return is counted upon
as a certainty Saturday, owing to the
heavy gain by the sub-treasury. The
advance in the Bank of Frances Off

national competition for funds, and
while no direct effects were perceptible,
the action is significant Of the general

Officers of the New York Clearing

MARKET NOTES.

Brokers report great difficulty in in
ducing their customers who are long
of the market to sell stocks. This may
explain the brokers' bearishness and the
customers bullishness. Bankers are
surprised to see so few copper shares
offering in loan.
The general sentiment continues bull
ish in the face of declining prices. This
results undoubtedly, from the mainte-
nance of good railway earnings and
prosperous business through the coun-
try.
Some very conservative interests both
in New York and Boston, express the
opinion that the market is now ground
ing on bottom.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad will increase it's annual

lower. In Chicago wheat opened steady,
with a disposition among traders to
cover short contracts, and, in spite of the
Liverpool cables, there was enough buy
ing at the start to check any decline, as
the small offerings were a feature and
house buying.
December remained relatively strong
and outside markets showed more
strength than did Chicago. 1t was a
scalping day, and later in the session the
market did not keep up the ais witty of
the opening, but prices were hrm and
seaboard clearances were reported liberal.
Minneapolis also reported good demand
for wheat against flour sales, and the
interior movement continues light, the
cars, against 1860 same day last year;
same day last week was a holiday.
The stock market was inclined to be
quiet, after the activity and sharp breaks
of the last three days and covering by
shorts, as well as better London prices,
caused some improvement, although the
bears contested the advance as much as
possible. Tobacco, both Continental and
American, was weak, due to the an
nouncement of the organization of an
opposition company headed by Mr.. Wet
more, and the rest of the market was
somewhat adversely affected by the
weakness in the tobacco stocks.

ACTIVE LIST WAS SOFT.

There was little of positive feature in
yesterdays stock market trading.
Money market conditions in Boston
do not admit of much buoyancy while
the street keeps talking about the hea-
Wy semi annual settlements as a dis
turbing factor. Estimates have placed
the-total of January disbursements as
high. as $150,0O00O0. total which seems
excessively large. In any event, the
preparations for disbursing the large
sums due Jan. for interest and div
idend bid fair to continue present some
what close money market conditions

the least. The foreign monetary situa-
ton grows firmer. The Bank of Eng
land rate remains at six per cent,
while the Bank of France today ad-
vanced its rate from to 8 IL per
cent Firm money and doubt of any
earlXs easing of rates for speculative
purposes result in steady liquidation in
Boston, where stocks steadily dribble,
day, after day, with prices yielding; de-
clines are not sharp, but in the aggre-
gate they are substantial and it is
unoeniable that long stock, rather than
short selling, is causing the softness in
our market. In New York yesterday
