STOCKS AND BONDS.


New York Dec. 5.-The attendance Of
the brokers al the board of trade was
meager and the small attendance of room
traders had the market much TO them
selves as they were almost isolated by
the cutting of of wire communication
with the outside world. As a consequence
the net result of the days trading was
extremely small The selling b. room
traders during the early part Of the day
made some considerable inroads upon
prices. but in the absence Of outside re-
sponses and not desiring to remain IN
covered over night, they rebought the
stock sold early, causing a general re-
covery The market was really without
significance. SO far as the sentiment of
the day was manifest the anxiety over
the future Of the money market was stin
evident. The forecast of the weekly bank
statement fully justified this feeling. The
banks have apparently lost nearly s7.c0-
o)e from their cash reserve during the
week. 1t viii be remembered that last
weeks loss was undeTstated in the bank
statement by nearly 100000 by reason OF
the working of the average system Of
computation. The movement of currency
has been in favor OF the interior agian
&c the extent of nearly $500, 600 including
the deposits al the sub treasury for tele-
graphic transfer TO the interior. The
balance of the loss IS made up of Gus
toms and internal revenue payments and
the 100000 exported to South America.
There is the usual obscurity regarding
the changes in the liza nitem of the banks.
There has been nothing in the stock mar
ket TO indicate extensive liquidation Of
loans. The change in that item is likely
to depend on syndicate operations and on
movements in the foreign exchange mar
kets. Tension in the time money market
has appreciably grown during the week.
but call lotns showed a tendency TO re-
lax today. This was partly due to the
lghtness Of the demand. The weeks ex-
pcrt of grain show a rising tendency.
