NEW YORK COFFEE-New York

much better news from Europe than ex-

over this DEVELOPMENT was still apparent
this morning made the strong advance in
prices in the very face of the news OF
the gold exports all the more striking.
The sterling exchange rate today not
only failed to recover, but declined an ad-
ditional fraction to $4.87l2 for demand.
The shipment Of gold at this level for ex-
change demonstrated that some consider
able advantage is offered by the Bank
of England as an inducement for the ship
ment 1t is known in fact that the Eng
lish institution allows interest to the ship
pers for the period of the transit. 1t has
also advanced the buying price for gold,
both for American eagles and bar gold.
For the former the price has been ad-
vanced Id an ounce in two days. The
transaction may, therefore be regarded
in a certain sense as a special one.
Whether 1t was for this reason that the
local stock market took small account of
the beginning of the export movement is
a subject for Surmise
The reported engagement of 81, 100000 In
gold for export caused no stiffening of
the local money rate, which ruled from
to per cent all day. The incidents Of
the day which served to offset the gold
exports were several In the first place
the conviction that tomorrow's bank
statement would make strong showing,
the weeks losses to the subtreaSury,
which foot up 81, 1884, 900, have been so far
offset by the receipts of currency from
the interior and of gold from Canada
that the banks net losses in cash are
figured at less than $1,50O, 600. Tomorrow S
gold shipments, of course, do not figure.
The weeks extensive liquidation in the
stock market, with it's consequent reduc-
ton in loans is certain to have more
than offset it's comparatively slight de-
crease in cash. rise in the surplus re-
serves of the banks is therefore believed
to be well assured.
The arrival from Cuba of a United
States transport brings an addition to
the available supply Of specie Of $1,250, 600,
consigned to a trust company, and of
over $1,000 of postoffice funds. The alb
sence of disturbance in the local market
money by the Withdrawals Of gold and
the favorable effect produced on the Lon
don market arouse hope that the opera
ton may prove beneficial to the financial
world at large in sufficient degree to Off
set any local inconvenience.
A favorable effect was produced on the
stock market here by the buoyant tone
in the Boston market, arguing a salts
factory settlement of the difficulties
threatening that market, Substantial
gains in price throughout the stock list
are the net results of the days trading.
A late advance Of 1875 in the price of P.
c. c. & ST. L. was feature of the day.
Price changes in bonds were somewhat
irregular, and were for the most part mar
row. Total sales, par value, $1,S05, 600.

HOGS-Receipts of hogs have fallen off
considerably: and our prices are nearer
to Chicago than for some time past. Bulk
sales mixed hogs today, $3921a to $3.971a.
Rough and pigs, 1878 to $3.50. Market
closed easy. There seems to be a strong
bottom to the hog market, and condi-
items are favorable for a steady to high
er market for the next ten days.
SHEEP-Sheep have been strong and
have advanced 15c to Csc this week. Good
mutton, 1856 to $425. Medium sheep, $3.4O
to 1915. Thin and stock ewes, 81 to 1926.
Fat lambs, $475 to 1925 Stock lambs,
s425 to $3.50. Thin lambs, 1925 to $4.25.
Not enough sheep coming to supply the
demand.

CATTLE-The receipts of cattle have
been light the past week Butcher cat
tie sold at steady prices Monday and
Tuesday, but have declined zoe to soc
since Stock cattle are very dull and
hard to sell The dealers seem to have
quit until after the holidays. Would not
advise shippers to ship stockers until
after the new year. as they will GER
tainly be disappointed at prices received.
This market Is no exception to the rest.
All are dull and lower on stock cattle.
Veal calves are about steady, and mich
COWS very dull, except for the best. Can
ners 10c to 15c lower than last week.
Some choice fat stuff would sell well, but
would advise shippers to be careful on
half fat and medium stuff for awhile.

The Jail Commission met last night
to confer with Messrs. j. z. &. Corpen-
ter and ]. *. PEBBLES, associate archi-
tects for designing the new city prison
building. Owing to the fact that Mr..
PEBBLES is out of the city the commits
sion adjourned to Monday night.
The commission is anxious to get the
plans In shape, lnasnuch as 1t has now
beenSten months since the grand jury
recommended new jail to be built sat
once" 1t is true that this recommen-
dation was not needed until the conf
mission appointed by Judge Hanckel 10
make the annual inspection of the jail,
reported the crowded and unfit condi-
ton, 1t will require several months to
construct the jail, and while this Is go
Ing on some disposition will have to
be made of the prisoners, as The new
building Is to be constructed upon the
site of the present structure. This Is :,
problem with which the commission has
nausht to do except that 1t will proba-
bly, make recommendation In regard
to It.
AT present the jail is so overcrowded
that special guard has to be en-
ployed to keep the prisoners from max
ing attempts to escape The station
