Surprise Over Bank Statement.

Surprise was expressed when, upon the
publication of the bank statement. it was
found that last weeks surplus reserves had
been extinguished and that. according to to-
days figures. the banks are holding cash
amounting to $1.246,000 below the legal re-
quirements.
The loss in actual cash shown in the bank
statement amounted to s7,546.000, a sum
good deal in excess Of the largest of the
preliminary estimates. decrease In the
loan account amounting to 81, 561 600 was re-
ported and the changes In the loan and
cash items were quite adequately reflected
in the deposit account, which declined s14.-

The deficit reported by the banks on No

than that set forth today. In the CORE

Highly Excited Speculation
Marked Today's Dealings.
TRADING DIs0RDERLY
FOREIGN ACCOUNT OPERATIONS
ON A SMALL SCALE.
Prices of Industrial Stocks Took
Higher Range-Railways and Local
fractions We're Irregular.

NEW YORK. December "a feverish and
highly excited speculation was conducted
upon the stock exchange this morning, anu
within the limits of the brief business ses-
sion many extensive swings in prices were
recorded. The trading might almost be de-
scribed as disorderly, so errauc were the
fluctuations and these took place without
any apparent explanation apart from tech
meal causes.
The London stock market was generally
steady, although American stocks were ex-
exceptionally heavy. The operations here
for foreign account in their relation to the
volume of the local trading were upon too
small a scale materially to influence prices.
At the opening Of business a higher range
of quotations was established in many Of
the industrial stocks. with the railway list
and the local traction shares showing irreg-
ular and generally reactonary tendencies.
Sugar and Copper Active.
Initial dealings In Sugar Refining and
Amalgamated Copper in particular were re-
ported over wide range OF fluctuations.
With the course of the first hour the whole
market developed reactionary tone. which
was superficially accounted for by the ex-
pectations that the bank statement would
show last week small surplus reserves en-
tireIy wiped out, and that another deficit
would be reported.
1t was commonly believed. however, that
In such an event the Secretary of the
Treasury would feel impeiled to take some
extra ordinary measures looking to there
lief of the monetary situation. Aside from
continued discussion of the latter, there was
little talked about in Wall street today.
Notwithstanding also the wide fluctuations
that took place In many securities, there
seemed to be an entire absence of novel
gossip relating to the movements In those

home and happiness and has made
her forget her marriage vows. Even
with his, weakened intellect the Grip
pie realizes he has been put in the

quaint New England setting and its
vivid portrayal Of that which makes
for the good and evil Of the world.

sons Charles H. Hoyt's "a y Bunch OF

OF this country and instead Of the
play showing any diminution in its
drawing powers, appears to grow
more popular with each succeeding

easily accounted for, from the fact
that the farce itself is more than or.

the music catchy, but that the mu.

"The PITT is the not altogether fc-
.titious narrative OF an attempt to
corner the worlds supply Of wheat in
the Chicago wheat pit. The story is
based on. the famous Letter deal Of
several years ago. The play is a
.dramatization Of Frank Norris famous
novel Of the same name; It is sto-
ry Of Chicago Of a woman's love and
its ENHANCEMENT in a great wheat
speculation. William A. Brady has
mounted the play on very elaborate
lines, and tits presented in four acts cts
and six scenes: The original COM
pany will seen here, and the com
'pany with the Esupernumeraries will
number over three hundred people. 4

"under Southern skics.ri

The one conspicuous play Of
southern life now being presented to
the public is under Southern Skies"
Its success has been extraordinary
and it grows in favor with each sue
ceeding season. Under Southern
Skies is now in its fourth season and
1t is unquestionably one Of those plays
which like 1.-THE Old Homestead and
&s"NNay Down East seems destined
to go on forever. "Under Southern
Skies" is reproduction of the lux
uriant, flowery landscapes and stately
homes Of the South, the women wear
the dainty airy costumes affected by
the. high born Southern woman, and
the play fairly bubbles with the gay
and lavish hospitality for which the
people Of the South have always
been noted. Woven throughout the
scenes Of merriment and music with
which the play abounds, is a story
Of intense interest that holds the au.
dience from the rise to the fall OF
the curtain. A large castsis employ.
led in the presentation Of this play;
|twenty-seven people, and each one
has been selected because Of his or
her special fitness for the part. Al
together the appearance Of Under
Southern Skies" at the Grand Opera
House on Thursday. February 18th
will be one of the big events Of the
theatrical season. y.
