NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, December 21.-AmaIga:
mated Copper showed the same stable
tendency &c and 81 which IL de-
veloped yesterday, and the relief afford
ed h general market by this turn of
affairs continued in evidence. The bank
statement CAV evidence Of satisfactory
conditions in the money market and
also prompted some buying Of stocks.
but the sympathetic strength in the
general market was taken advantage
of for an active liquidation in Sugar
which forced that stock 81 under last
night and unsettled the market and
made the closing easy.
Net results are not generally impor-
tant and changes run both ways. The
recent cut In the price Of sugar
leaves narrow margin for profits on tbs
production, and fears are entertained
Of a renewal of the sugar and coffee
war.
The bank statement showed much
larger decline of cash reserves than an
ticipated, the loss running to 81, 435, 200,
but the decline in deposits by reason OF
a loan contraction OF $13. 1858. 500, was
sufficient to reduce the reserve require
ments by an amount greater than the
decrease in cash, leaving a gain for the
surplus of 1896, 300. The strength Of the
day was most marked in the local trac-
tons and in the coalers. both soft and
anthracite.
Hooking Valley added 2M to yester-
days 3 point rise and the preferred

Washington, December 20.-It is Sec
Rotary Cages intention to relinquish
the treasury port folio as soon as Pres
ident Roosevelt can find a suitable sue
cessor and he has SO informed the presi-
dent. MI. Gage would like tie be reliev-
ed before spring. The president has
done all he could to dissuade Secretary
Gage from retiring and will probably
continue to use his efforts in that direc-
ton.
Secretary Cages determination to re-
some time ago, just how long it is not
known
a long conference the presi-
den n the secretary was held before
the cabinet meeting today, but it had
nothing TO do with h question OF the
Iatter's resignation. 1t related to the
matter Of the NOV of appraiser
Wakeman. whose resignation Secretary
Gage requested a few days ago. APP
praiser Wakeman wrote a letter to Sec
rotary Gage declining to resign and in
the course of which he took occasion to
reflect upon the secretary. The presi-
dent did not approve the spirit of the
letter and at the conference il was de-
cided to summarily remove Mr.. Wake
man.
After the cabinet meeting Secretary
Gage declined to say anything about the
rumor of his resignation beyond the
simple statement that he had not for
mauy' resigned What I may or may
not do eventually. 1 am not prepared to
say now" said the secretary; but i
q say that the relations between the
president and myself are perfectly cor
dial. He would do almost anything /
-ask and I would do almost anything he
might ask"
Later, the official announcement was
made al the white house that Mr..
Wakeman had been removed and that
George w. Whitehead, late collector Of
customs of Porto Rico had been ap-
pointed to succeed him. No further an
nouncement was made and at the treas
ury department Secretary Gage declin-
ed TO make public Mr.. Wakeman's let
ter.
Alfred w. Brown. the appraiser of
merchandise at the port of Boston has
been ordered to New York to take
charge of appraisers office there, pend
sing the nomination of George w. White
head to succeed Mr.. Wakeman, which
will be sent to the senate on its recon-
Vening January 9Th. Mr.. FWakeman
will vacate his office tomorrow.
