MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE stock market
had a demoralized appearance AT times,
today. when eager unloading OF SECURITIES
was in progress without regard to prices.
The voirme of dealings rose to over q
million shares, or about double those or
yesterday which in turn were more man
double those of the day before. rms
greatly augmented volume of liquidatioi.
met with very poor absorption. ana Vlo-
lent declines were the result There
were points in the market where better
notably among the Pennsylvania group,
Reading Amaga mated Copper ana Su-
gar. The last named stock closed the
day with an actual net gain OF a s1lldii
fraction On the other hand the ROCK
Island stocks. the United States Steel
stocks and the Pacifcs generally proved
easily vulnerable. The extreme decline
in Rock Island common was rs ana IN
respectively y and higher than the
lowest United States Steel lost 3 points
and the preferred ~ ana their nnai
prices were only a fraction better imam
the low points. The unsupported con
dition Of these stocks had "A strong SEN
i.mental effect on the whole market.
The Venezuelan situation cNerted only a
sentimental influence. Inc real motive
for the precipitate selling was the grow
ing conviction that further extensive
loan contraction will be necessary t.
meet the requirements for money ne
tween Low and the first of the year. AS
high as per cent. was paid for call
loans Time loans for short periods
were practically unobtainable and rates
were very firm for the longer periods.
Todays extreme declines reached from
] to 3 Joints quite generally. and in some
of the less active .pecialtes ran from
to IL. The tone at the close was fever
ish and unsettled but quite materially
above the lowest. Bonds were weak in
sympathy with stocks Total sales, par

A QUIET MONTH. The month OF
January is generally the quieiest OF
anv in the calendar 10 O commercial or
any other sense. Following as it does
the holiday season it produces lull l"
almost everything, and there Is de-
cided disposition on the part OF many
to hibernate or wait for the torpor TO
mass away. A stroll around the
wharv-s, the depots, the principal
streets or in the public offices Will
strike any one with the truth OF the
above observation. A sort OF ennu'
seems to pervade many. Even the
saloons are wanting in animation, ana
the proprietors have time to read news
papers to their full, while people are
disoosed TO allow their hair to grow,
and BARRIERS yswn while waiting for
subjects 10 enter. 10 a few weeks,
however, this depression will have
passed away and the wheels OF COM
merce will gradually be accelerated TO
the normal speed. Many are indu'-
sioS 10 hopes of prosperous year Tor
Alexandra, and there Is reason to be
lieye that the approaching spring will
produce "a different face upon many
things. There is every indication OF
employment in one way OF another
being afforded ell who desire 1t, and
this Of itself places the city in a posi-
zion OF all others the most favorable, az
