The few cars Of cornfod steers on sale
sold easily n dime higher than yesterday.
The quality Of most of them was rather
inferior, though as high as sl.S was paid.
As compared with the close OF last week
the general market Is fully Csc higher, and
some sales have been much better than

q few cattle to nil their more urgent orders
and the extremely light receipts have
forced them to advance prices.
The COW market was also stronger this
morning. Prices have advanced during the
week Just about the same as on steers. II
anything, though. the COW market has been
more uneven than the steer market. Can
ners and cutters, In particular, have sold
mt very uneven prices, some sales being a
good deal higher than others.
Bulls, veal calves and stays did not show
much change this morning. Bulls have been
strong all the week, but still prices have
not advanced anything like as much as on
There were not enough stockers and feed

Market Closes Firm at Ton Notch OF
Days Prices.


NEW YORK, Dec. A-The stock market
closed firm today at the top level of the
day, with net gains in a few OF the prom
,nJnt Taiiroads' and speciaIues reaching a
prices was not of much significance and
the dealings were on a very small scale.
except in the local traction group, In which
there was come large buying without any
de1ntt explanation. The trading was idle
nearly to the point Of stagnation at times,
and the brokers gave more attention to
playing pranks in celebration of the eve
Of the Christmas holidays than to trading
IN stocks. The Produce exchange celebra-
ton began midway Of. the session Of the
Stock exchange on the same floor and
separated only by a low. partition. Specula-
tive sentiment may easily have been tine
tured by the festivities. The distribution
OF Christmas donations was on a liberal
scale and helped the prevailing cheerful
outstanding short interest also which chose
TO cover for the holidays, especially as
many brokers are prepaTtng to leave town
FOR the rest OF the week.
The strength of the local fractions had
a sentimental effect on the whole list, the
4 points. No definite explanation of the
rise was forthcoming, but old rumors had
renewed circulation of a passing of control
to the Pennsylvania. Sugar also was well
sustained at a recovery from yesterdays
sharp decline. The most active period OF
the trading, however, was during the de-
the call rate at between . and 10 per cent

aue RESTRICTION enforced by the docking
powers Of La Guayra on the steamer
Caracas occasloned some uneasiness.
though of little direct influence. The an
nouncement of wage increases by the New
York Central and the Atlantic Coast line
called renewed attention to a tendency
which is general throughout the railroad
world. The passing of the dividend by the
st. Joseph Island first preferred explained
yesterdays laae break of Sk points in that
stock. to which was added a 2h point de-
cline today. Canada Southern was also a
sufferer from the reduction In its dividend
rate. The great influence Of these two
points in Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
was unexplained. The stiffness of the call
money rate and a hardening of the time
market were not effective in checking tire
rising tendency In sterling exchange or the
falling tendency in New York exchange at
interior points. At Chicago the New York
exchange fell back to par, after having
ruled at 40c premium last week. More
than 100000 was again transferred to New
Orleans today, but $250.O00 was paid out
by the sub-treasury on transfer of Alas
heavy customs collections, coupled with
the falling of in pension payments, has
resulted In a wiping out Of the sub-treas-
ury's earlier contribution to the money
market. Money is also rising In London
and there were continued large transfers
by cable to that center today.
There was some distributed activity in
the bond market, but the price movement
was rather irregular. Total sales, par
vanced Y and the old As Y per cent on the
last call.

the close very steady at a net loss of 2

huences at work on the market were first
beartsh and then bullish. The early ca
bles were unsatisfactory: Early indications
the mark and the local contingent started
an incipient raid in the absence of public
support. Later however, public support
became something of a factor, following
ing by the week enders and tending to
change statistics through large exports
and large home consumption. AS the day
advanced local shorts covered and there
was some Investment demand, which gave
the market a firm undertone up to the
close. The January situation remains UNI
