TRADING IS QUIET
ON CURB MARKET
Opening Shows Improvement
But Losses Are Recorded
One Hour Afterward.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Trading
was quiet on the resumption OF
business on the curb market during
the greater part of the session to-
day and little interest was display
ed in price movements. Opening
prices generally showed small i'm
provement over last weeks finals.
but before the end of the first hour
small fractional losses were record
ed in most issues. In many cases
there were slight rallies, and clos
ing quotations were within frac-
tons of the previous finals.
There was little feature to the
petroleum group. except that a few
medium-priced issues made moder-
ate gains, among them being
Simms Petroleum, Skelly and Elk
Basin. International Petroleum was
quiet, selling at, 16. Carib Syndicate
sold from IN to 6h.
Meteor Motors maintained a
strong tone, selling as high as 2ek,
but reacted from it's highest level.
Tobacco Products Export was in bet
ter demand, advancing to Sh. A
few transactions were made in
Goodyear tire issues. the common
ranging from 20 to % and the pre-
ferred from 10 to so. The metal
stocks were featureless. Most of
the bond issues showed small losses.

Foreign Demand Drop
From Wheat Market

In their daily wheat letter issued
at the close OF yesterdays mar
ket. ThomsonI-& McKinnon, local
brokers, said in part: IN accord
ance with custom. the foreign de-
mand for wheat Is not in evidence.
1t is commonly believed that ex-
port business will not be renewed
until after the holiday period.
There was some buying by Eastern
houses thought to be against pre-
vious export sales. All country Of
ferings are light and bids for ship
ment via the Gulf were firm The
Federal Trade Commission in its
report as to the reasons for the
decline in wheat values mentions
less buying of -four for future needs
than usual. This is corroborated
by recent estimate of the -four
stocks at leading points which made
them about SO per cent of last
years accumulation. This being 50
a better demand from millers may
appear after the turn of the year.
In. addition to the absence of ex-
port demand there is an almost
complete shutting on of Investment
demand induced probably by BUSH
ness conditions. The worlds finan-
cial situation Is again In the minds
OF the trade although II is believed
that at some time In the near fu-
ture the situation will commence to

HOLIDAY DULLNESS
REACTS ON GRAIN
Chicago Market See sLittle
Trading and Lowered
Prices.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-The grain
market suffered from a leftover
holiday feeling today. The volume
of business was small and the close
found prices generally below last
weeks prices. The wheat pit was
dull. Business was small and price
changes unimportant until near the
end of the session. Final quotations
were TX to 21zc lower.
All foreign markets were closed
and there was a dearth Of outside
trade. Advices from New York said
there were no export orders and that
foreigners would probably be out of
the market until after the first of
the year.
The corn market opened easy but
frmed up by midday. At the close
December was Y cent higher while
late months were x to 1c lower.
The cash market had a heavy tone.
Elevators being the only buyers,
taking corn on the delivery basis.
Reports from the country indicated
an increase in the corn movement

OIL STOCKS DECLINE
Weak Spots in Dull Market
Feature of Trading
For Day.

NEW YORK. Dec 27-occasionsI
weak spots in a dull market fur
nished the feature of a rather spirit-
less Monday session. New low lev
els were established by Atlantic
Gulf and West Indies and CrucfbIe
steel. while heavy selling made its
appearance in American Smelters
and Refining and some Of the con-
per stocks. U. s. Rubber was under
pressure as a result of doubt or
suspicion regarding the maintenance
of present divldends.
The weakness in these quarters
had more or less TO do with the
easier tone OF the general list and
losses greatly exceeded gains for
the day. The oil shares were rather
heavy with Mexican Petroleum de-
clining about four points before
noon. Floor professionals made
considerable capital out Of the gos-
sip to the effect that more cuts in
the prices of petroleum products
were pending.
Holders of copper stocks are
greatly interested in the meeting
of the Anaconda directors tomor-
row, with opinion about evenly di-
vided as to whether the 50 divi-
dend would be passed or merely re-
duced. No matter what action D.
taken, IL is believed that Il will
mark the turning point in the cop
per shares. as they have been sub
jected to severe Liquidation as a re-
suit Of low prices for the metal and
reduction OF earnings and dividends.
While stocks OF copper are reid
lively large. they are not considered
so in view of the potential demand
and the knowledge that the known
world resources of copper are not
considered commensurate with the
needs that will have TO be met in
the not distant future. The gen
eral opinion here is that copper
stocks, while perhaps not attractive
at the moment. represent one OF the
best long pull propositions on tha
list.
No attention was paid TO the
weekend hank statements. The re-
duction in the Federal Reserve con-
solidated ratio from 456 to 45.l at
tracted little comment. Foreign "a
changes were without feature.

PITTSBURGH Dec. 27-The iron
and steel trade has now entered the
dulJest period of the year in even
normal times, and IL is exceptionally
dull now in the light Of conditions
that now are existing.
A very great majority Of the inde-
pendent plants are closed over the
holidays and many will not reopen
until January. In the meantime in
ventories will be completed, many
economies put into effect through
changes in mill practice and reVi-
sions of wage scales. Repairs will
be made in virtually all plants.
Steel Corporation plants closed
over Christmas, but most will re-
sumo operations tomorrow.
The Carnegie Steel Company has
operated 50 per cent of its steel in
got capacity, this being the highest
rate for many months. The National
Tube Company is running full at its
McKeesport, Riverside and Lorain
Works. Other subsidiaries are ir-
regular. The American Sheet and
Tin Plate Company has some of its
tin mills closed this week for re-
pairs. and so has the American Steel
and Wire Company. but on the
whole the corporation will have
more than 10 per cent operating.

The independent mills are virtual
ly out of orders. while there have
been further suspensions on the
part of customers of the steel cor
poration. especially by those of the
American Steel and Wire Co. The
steel corporation is well supplied
with orders. its recent increase in
operations being due to better sup
plies of coal and coke. The corpor-
atoms shipments are equal to the
current production. except that the
National Tube Co. is shipping from
large stocks accumulated during
the shortage.
Some sales of foundry iron are
being made. one of 1000 tons for
delivery over January. February
and March at prices named later.
but on the whole the pig iron mar
ket remains very quiet with prices
nominally unchanged at S35 for
Bessemer. o. foundry, and s33 for
basic. at Valley furnaces. Foundry
grades especially could be had for
about 81 a ton less. A buying move
ment in pig iron is expected to de-
velop next month, when competi-
tion may bring out somewhat lower
prices.

LIVERPOOL COTTON
TO REOPEN TODAY
New York Market Has Quiet
Day, With Low
Sales.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The cot
ton market broke today after it had
been steadier in the forenoon. Trad
ing. which was generally quiet,
showed increased activity in the
late dealings. The exchange at
Liverpool will be reopened for busi-
ness tomorrow.
The market opened unchanged to
three points higher. January sold
up to 1906 or 81 points net higher
en- covering, which came largely
from brokers with Liverpool con-
nections. Later months sold 13 to
IS points net higher but general
business was very quiet and as soon
as the demand from January shorts
subsided prices showed a tendency
to work lower under scattered Wall
street and local selling. January
was the only month to make new
high ground for the movement on
the early advance, the price of 1903
comparing with l4.s2, the high
points touched on the rally of Fri
day and 1899, the low record of last
Wednesday.
Offerings were heavier through
cut the afternoon. The absence OF
any important buying keenly dis
appointed holders of long contracts.
Last quotations showed a net loss
OF 90 to SO points.
Spot here was quiet at a decline
of 25 points at 15c for middling
There were nc sales. Spot at New
Orleans also was quiet at a decline
Of 25 points at 13.75c for middling.

WALL STREET GOSSIP.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The situ-
alton in Replogle Steel, it is under
stood. has been cleared up today
by the taking over of approximate
ly $4,000 shares of stock by a group
of powerful banking interests. This
stock was held in several accounts,
and the break of Friday had DEM
onstrated the inability of the open
demand to take care of any such
as was hanging over the market.
Wall Street also believes that
President Wilson will veto the reso-
luton to revive the War Finance
Corporation which Secretary Hous-
ton declares to be a subterfuge for
financing foreign operations of GER
tain large corporations. Needless
to say the Street does not agree
with Secretary Houston's charges,
but does agree that the proposed
measure is more likely to prove
undesirable than otherwise.
