Stocks and Bonds.

NEW YORK. Dec. s.-The tone OF the market Tor
Industrial securities showed decided contrast To-
DAY to that for railroad securities. The break IN
prices of the ndustrias approached Generalization
by the middle period of the afternoon. Meantime the
railroad stocks almost without exception held tena>
ciously to their prices Late in the day when the
bears began to cover and wrought some very marked
recoveries in the industrial list. At the same time
the railroads which had been almost stagnant dis
played some signs Of animation and rose generally
above yesterdays level Net gains In a few rail-
roads reached point The late recovery in stocks
was coincident with easing In the call money
per cent after ruling at 7s per cen. earlier
in the day. The banks were calling loans and the
movement of the industrials suggested that they
were in disfavor not only with the speculative pup,
lic but with the lenders. industrial collateral
other classes. The bears were active and made a
bold onslaught the industrial list uncovering stop
loss orders on a large scale. The easing OF the
money rate aroused the superstition that the banks
had strengthened their position to satisfactory eS
tent promising some relief from the calling Of
loans As 1t was evident that the short interest had
been largely extended, the room traders turned to
the bull side the general theory that the three
days decline in prices had reached far enough They
had in forcing the shorts to cover and
the demand from that source became rather urgent.
Quite number of the industrials showed declines

cided weakness and only momentary check to the
fall when the regular dividends were announced 1t

points eased again. closing with a net gain of a
Atchison preferred though entirely unexpected,
had a STRENGTHENING influence on the railroad list.
Some strength was impaired to the international
stocks by the support accorded in the American de-
partment of the London market. Continued large
shipments of currency to the South and a loss of
over 600 by the banks to the subtreasury on
yesterdays subtreasury operations are reported.
Sterling exchange continued firm to-day.

and as might have been expected the market on
that day was without interest. But Friday brought
better receipts and decline. All killing cattle went
on 1OGl5c and in some instances even a 20c break
was reported. Monday the feeling was little bet
ter. but prices not quotaby improved. Tuesday
saw more good cattle here than for some days and
there was freer buying. Cables were little strong
er and several sales of choice native steers were
tie sold full steady. and times showed firm
ness half fat and undesirable lots were weak to a
shade lower. Yesterday the run was liberal again
and buyers took advantage of the increased supply
squeez prices again. There 5000 more cattle
in than the same day last week and $500 more the
day last year. and Chicago also had good
run. and the market there slow. Good ripe
cattle did fairly we'll and number OF sales were
steady. but most of the business was done ct de-

There was, however. less urgent demand for them
and the shipments to the country were the lghtest
for many weeks. AS the market Is still full Of poul
