DULLNESS RULES
IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Today's
brief session of the stock ex-
change may be dismissed with the
bald statement that business dur
ing the greater part of the two
hours was almost at a standstill.
were important and the market
apparently was left to its own
devices. Some. of the semiactive
issues were not quoted at all and
the net result was a mixture OF
losses and gains. the latter pre-
the day was broken by the failure
of an inconspicuous brokerage
firm.
Overnight Developments were 4
not. of character to make Tor
optimism. The large increase IN
the number of idle cars reported
by the American railway associa-
tion-10,S 500 between November 25
and December 7-offers additional
proof that the business of the
leaves much to be desired at this
time, but conditions were much
worse in the corresponding period
last year.
London and the continental
markets were almost as dull as
our own. Another small lot of
gold was withdrawn from the
Bank Of England for Egypt: The
most noteworthy feature of the
Imperial bank of Germany's
weekly statement was contained
in the large increase of deposits,
approximately $4,000, 900. Gold
in hand increased more than
s2.50o,o00. with an increase of
$4,000. 600 in loans.
Our own bank statement re-
ported a large actual increase in
loans and a cash gain. instead of
the expected loss, the whole max
ing for a moderate increase in the
surplus reserve The trust COM
panies and other institutions not
reporting to the clearing house
showed an increase of about
S2500. 600 in the loan account. indi-
eating that some of the burden
has been shifted to their shoul-
ders.
Total sales. par value. 81. $50, 900.
E. F. Hutton & Co.'S wire says
American stocks in London
closed on about a parity with
New York. Today's market prom
ises the same dull session as of
late. Reading seemed to be well
taken in yesterdays market and
is in position for quick upward
movement any time now. The
taking over of the Anglo-Ameri-
can company by the Western
Union telegraph company should
be an important addition to that
company"

BOSTON, Dec. 17.-E. F. Hutton Co.'S
wire says: AS might be expected In such
dull, general market. the copper shares
ket is entirely without feature. There are
very few offerings and comparatively little
demand. Lake at 35 and United States smelt-
ing at 35A the strongest features on the
list. The domestic metal is a little soft, but
the foreign speculative market responded to a
further decrease of 100000 pounds in foreign
stocks Of copper. While demand is naturally
rather light at this time Of the year, it is
believed prices Will be held quite firm. as the
decrease In American production should show
for the first time In the January figures and
Offset any decrease in consumption. This
should mean a reasonably firm. though not
spectacular, market for copper shares.

'Wheat-Extremely narrow range of prices and
a corresrondingly small volume of business have
been seen today in wheat. Shorts Of smaller
caliher have been more disposed to buy very
modest declines rather than TO put out any more
wheat. Nevertheless there has been no aggres-
sive buying TO lift values far from the low
points. Liverpool cables speak of fear of manp-
atfOn in Chicago largely offsetting TIE effect
of larger and cheaper Australian offerings. Off
cial report of crop OF New South Wales bears
out the claims from merchandising sources that
the Australian wheat crop is large one and
with 100000 bushels carried over from the
old crop makes the largest available supply on
record there No call for cash wheat here and
no sales reported.
"Corn-Has been very heavy all day, but
there has not been much decline and there was
only moderate speculative pressure The weeks
receipts here were nearly 1000 900 bushels
larger than were shipped out. Cash corn Is very
weak, 1b61c lower. and demand is very slack.
"Oats-Have moved within narrow limits. De-
cember freely offered early and there was
also some speculative pressure the May.
