PRICES DECLINED.

ed Market Was Not Entirely
Deserted.

| New York, Dec. 15.--The money
of the diminishing supply and inereas
| ing demands. The sub-treasury's alb
sorption from the banks of little
over million dollars, although mod.
crate by comparison with the day be-
| fore, brought the cash loss on that ac.
count for the banking week up to SIG.
1893 600 which is but a little less than
the figures of surplus resources
shown in the bank statement Satur-
day
The market was not without sup
port at different stages, which made a
draw on the decline and accused oc,
casional rallies. The rising interest
rates for call money, and the lessened
inclination of leaders to place funds
in that way, hampered speculative
buying and left the way open to
forces operating for decline.
The appointment of the commission
by Governor Hughes to probe the
methods and practice of speculative
dealings was made of opportune use
by the bear party, although a substan.
tial element of the stock exchange
welcomes the work thus
set on foot The fact that the pro
posed investigation and reforms would |
infringe on the practices of an active |
element in the speculation, and the |
of the commission had |
some intimidating effect on that ele
ment
