PRIVATE WIRE ADVICEs.
Market Dull, with Cash Resources
More Ample Than Expected.
Meyer & Kiser's telegram

Meyer &c Kiser's telegram
NEW YORK, Dec. H.-During the first
half of the session the market was ex-
tremely dull and prices were somewhat IN
clined to sag. After the publication of the
bank statement almost the entire list had
a sharp upward movement, but the advance
was only partially maintained and the mar
ket closed rather quiet and as a rule with
out many material changes from last
nights figures. The surprise OF the state
ment was the decrease of over 81 600. 900 in
loans 1t vas recognized that liquidation
had taken place in the market during the
week but the bulk OF it occurred on Thurs
dav and Friday and the liquidation Of the
latter day would not appear until next
week. while owing TO the average system
the liquidation OF Thursday would only par
tally appear. The loss I'm cash was some
what smaller than had been expected, and
the result of the week : transactions was
that the surplus reserve is rather less than
s. 800 900 as against over 5000 900 last year
at this time. Next week IL is believed the
banks will gain about 5000. 600 owing 10 the
authorization by the treasury of the interest
payments due on Jan. l. The statement
does not warrant any expectation OF easy
money. but on the other hand. speculative
activity IS practically dead. and, conse-
ouently. the resources of the banks are
ample TO prevent any real stringency.
