Speculative sentiment UnderEOes
Many Transitions ut New York.

mhhg IFunhAtlonA NJ new AoEAs
NEW YORK. Jan. 8.-speculative senti-
ment underwent several abrupt transitions
today. Trading apparently was In the
hands Of professional operators almost en-
tirely. The distinct movement In the mar
ket. after a period OF ~listless fluctuations
followed the statement Of the November
earnings Of the Pennsylvania railroad. The
rate at which the rise IN operating eK-
penses In this railroad system was seen TO
Outstrip the gains in gross earnings served
to enforce doubts caused by a similar tend
ency which has become general throughout
the railroad world. The pennsylvania lines
directly operated showed an increase In
gross earnings for November of S69l, 500, but
earnings decreased S71 800. on the lines
west Of Pittsburg and Erie there was re-
ported an increase in gross earnings OF u.s.
800, with a growth OF $50, 200 In operating
earnings Of S4l4.GOO. The whole railroad list
weakened sharply under the influence Of
this w Prices in some important
stocks. including Pennsylvania, receded to
a point or more below last night. There
was an animated recovery upon the APP
pearance Of the bank statement with It's
unexpected recuperation of S,644,61 In the
surplus reserves of the banks. such a
showing is almost unprecedented for the
first week in January. That the banks
should have been able to set through the
sources in excess Of all previous records,
with a merely nominal increase In loans,
was in itself a pleasant surprise to those
who had felt nervous about the money sit
uation. In addition, the gain in cash for
the week reached IS, 435, 900, which Is almost
81, UjO,WO In excess of the largest preliminary
estimates. The redeposit of cash by the re-
tail shops, making up the. proceeds OF
Christmas trade, is attributed as the cause
OF this showing. The recovery in prices
met renewed heavy selling, and the market
closed easy and with net changes mixed.
Amalgamated Copper and United States
Steel were notably firm throughout. Man
haitian was weakened by the requirements
made upon the company by the state rail-
road commission for increased equipment.
The following are the closing prices on
The New York Stock exchange:

BEET STEERS.

HOGs-There was a light run Of hogs
here today even for a Saturday, but, as
here eased off a little. The general decline
could be put at SOLOS. lightwelghts sHf-
morning, owing to the fact tab sellers
were holding for better prices. Practically
everything, though, was disposed of In good
season. The bulk of the hogs sold from
al 81 10 Sc. S5, with prime loads selling as
high as 500. The light hogs, Of which
there were a good many this morning, sold
largely from 500 to 1928.
The receipts for the week show a good
increase over last week, but there Is a
slight decrease as compared with the same
week OF last year. The market has flctu-
ated back and forth considerably during
Inc week and closed about l5q2Oc lower
Than the close of last week. Representa-

Ofncial Yesterday:

EnreIrn EInnncinI.

LONDON, Jan. 3-Money was in great
abundance in the market today. Discounts
weakened and caution was manifested on
account Of the weakness Of Paris exchange.
On the Stock exchange operators were
cheerful and the business transacted was
beyond the usual Saturday limit. CCnsols
improved as the result Of the ease Of
money. Home rails were moderately active
and mostly higher. Americans opened
f~ractionally lower and fractiOnally on
either side Of parity. Their tone was firm,
in expectation Of a good bank statement.
They were not particularly active and
closed firm. Grand Trunk was firm in
view Of the traffic returns above eXpecta-
tons. kafirs were easier on prott-taklng.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-04

SHEEP-There was only one car of mixed
sheep and lambs in the yards this morning
and, as they were of inferior quality, a test
of the market was not made. For the week
receipts have heen fairly liberal for the
time of year, as there is n good gain over
the same week OF last year. The market
has also been in very satisfactory condi-
ton taking the week as a whole. on Mon
day and Tuesday the tendency Of prices was
upward until the close Of the market on
tuesday, when the feeling was weaker.
on Wednesday and Thursday the market
was also rather unsteady, but Friday IL
nrmed up again, so that the market on de-
sirable grades OF both fat sheep and lambs
may be quoted steady for the week. IL Is
very evident that packers do not want this
habitat stun and In fact packers claim
that IL Is the dearest meat they can buy,
For that reason commission men are ad-
Vising their patrons 10 make their sheep
and lambs good before shipping them.
Feeders have been In very light supply
All the week and the market has held fully
steady on anything at all desirable.
