With only five fcusineas days la the -week, and
a. double holiday follow ins them, there was not
very much of interest in the market situation
during the -week closing December 30. There
Is always a. tendency -at tbe close of a month
to postpone buying: until after the 1st of tie
Jollowlng month, and this commercial trait Ib
intensified when the end of a month and the
end of -a. year fall together, as "was the case
last week. -The receipts of produce were fairly
neavy, the only shortage being in turkeys at
the close of the -week, the country apparently
overlooking the fact that another holiday was
due at the beginning of the new year. "With
cot enough to supply the demand, the price
moved up rapidly, and, though the stock was
speedily cleaned up at 17317&c. lc or 2c more
could have been seucred before the close of
business, and as none of the retailers had
enough to meet their demands, fancy prices
were occasionally paid.
There was a slightly belter demand for good
chipping potatoes, and fancy stock sold at 75c,
with hardly anything that was good enough to
market selling under COc The apple market Is
still depressed on account ofso much poor-keeping-
stock on the market offering at very low
prices. A few sales of hops were reported dur
ing the week, but prices are not much changed.
Growers are still firm in their ideas of better
prices later on, and the movement Is light. The
-wool market Is booming, and present prices are
remunerative enough to drag out 'every InsIgnlC-
cant old lot In the country, so that the new .clip
Will find a clean-swept, field, with no old stock
in the way. Veal Is ruling firm, and at the
-close of the week the colder weather made mat
ters a little more favorable for pork. The mar
ket for barley and oats continues depressed, In
sympathy -with wheat.'
"WHEAT Business In wheat was on a very
small scale during the few business days of last
Week, and prices remain nominally unchanged.
The results of a 5S-pound standard, and the
general disposition of the foreign markets to
Jump on Oregon whenever the opportunity ot
ters. Is apparent In a gradually widening spread
between Walla "Walla cargoes and California
rargoes. In former years, when the standard
was not less than 59 pounds, the differential
was never greater than la per quarter, but this
fear it has been gradually Increasing until Sat--terday
"Walla Walla cargoes -were quoted at 27s
d. while California were quoted at 20s 6d.
taie presence of so much light wheat In the
Northwest Is a great opportunity for the Cali
iomlana. They have a big crop, and the quality
is -excellent, there being plenty of heavy "wheat
4n that state to carry off the surplus of light
wheat from Oregon. This will enable the
Callfornlans to work off large quantities of Ore
gon wheat at 2 shillings per quarter more than
the unsuspecting foreigners will pay for it when
It 1s calling tinder Its true colors.
During the week as high as 65 cents was paid
for heavy Walla Walla, but for No. 1, 52 cents
-was the best quotation obtainable, and there
Tras no great anxiety to secure it even at that
figure. Valley closed the week at the same
old figures, 51 and 62 cents, and pluestem. was
steady at 54 cents, with a shade more paid
occasionally for heavy stock. The freight
situation contalnues unchanged, with a very
:firm feeling. Some new-crop chartering has
2een reported at about 35 shillings, with no
excessive amount of tonnage offering even at
this comparatively high rate, for such a long
hoL The San Francisco Commercial News
or the 28th has the following regarding the
situation in California:
Plowing and seeding have progressed more
rapidly in Northern California, due to the
Good weather of the past week; In -the-southern
portion of the state the crop Is reported In ex
cellent condition. The local market is certain
ly having a hard road to travel. Stocks in
the north are large, and nearly all of our
cwn crop Is still on hand; add to this the com
parative scarcity of ships and the high freight
rates and it may readily be seen that dealers
are not to be blamed for their lack of activity.
The export movement has been smaller than
expected, 189,487 centals having goneout dur
ing the week, making 1,919,034 centals this
season, against 047,721 centals the same time
last year.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Evening Up Accounts for tlie Year
Made Trading: Aetlve.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30. The transactions of
the stock exchange $oday were more or less
Interrupted by tho holiday frolics of the brokers
on the floor, but there was sufficient trading in
the evening up 6f accounts for the close of the
year to make quite an active market, and some
irregularity In prices. The Baltimore & Ohio
stocks, after their upward leap qf yesterday.
were conspicuously affected, the common falling
back nearly 2 and the preferred over a point.
The most active of the specialties, Including
Sugar, the Tobaccos and. the New. York city
traction stocks, were also inclined to react,
although the undertone was strong and there
was a disposition to hold stocks fot the ex
pected demand after the first of the year.
The expectation of this demand Is based on
the sudden relapse in the money rates at all
the leading financial centers, the London dis
count rate falling below the bank rate today,
and the Berlin rate showing a further decline.
This gives ground for hope that the export
movement of gold will b"e brought to a stop.
It Is possible, however, that the relaxation in
foreign money rates may be based on expecta
tions of further supplies of gold from this coun
try. That" being the case, bankers believe
there may be a recurrence of money stiffness
in January. The day's trading demonstrated
that the level of prices still offers Inducements
for Investment-buying.
The sales of email lots of less than 100 shares
continued even more conspicuous than on re
cent days. All grades of stocks were embraced
in this demand, down to the non-dlvldend-pay-ing
stocks with only remote prospects of re
turn. The prevailing sentiment on the exchange
was decidedly bullish. The constant striving of
the financial world to anticipate events Is re
sponsible for the paradox of a lively recovery
in prices of securities and easing money condi
tions in the last week of the year. This tend
ency of the financial world is responsible for
the week's events in a two-fold sense. Dast
week's panic conditions were the results of
preparation for the money pinch which has been
looked for before the close of the year, owing
to the extraordinary magnitude of the January
1 disbursements this year. Last week's forced
liquidation overdid Itself, as such violent move
ments are certain to do, and Wall street found
Itself unexpectedly flush of funds, with prices
of securities at the lowest level of the year, and
a practically universal conviction that the be
ginning of the newyear will mark a period of
easier money with the regular reflux of funds
from active use in business to the world's
financial centers. The speculative world, tnere
fore, expected an abrupt about-face, and rushed
to buy stockB to anticipate the good times sup
posed to be coming" with the new year.
The demand was particularly urgent from the
short interest, which had over-exerted Itself
last week, and worked some violent recoveries
in stocks which had suffered most severely
from last week's panic. For Instance, Metro
politan, which closed Saturday, December J6,
at 167, sold In the panic at 147, and. rallied
this week to 178, which, allowing for tho div
idend deducted, Is equivalent to over 180.
In fact, the general level of prices has recov
ered to about that of the Saturday before the
panic. From the .speculative standpoint, doubts
have arisen whether the violence of this recov
ery was not excessive, and there has been re
alizing by hdlders'who bought in the panic
either to sustain prices or in a hunt for bar
gains, and renewed short selling at the re
covered high level.
The following table will give anldea of the
violence of ihe speculative movement in the
stock market during the past year, and will
account for the wide vibrations of the last two
weeks in attempts to find the equilibrium of
true values. Those stocks have been selected in
which the variations have been widest, but,
generally speaking, they are also those In which
transactions have been largest, so that vthey
are fairly representative of the market. In the
column headed "About January 3." prices
marked with an asterisk are the first or listing
prices of stocks floated during the year:

Dividend 100. per cent.
What severe critics term the speculative de
bauch of the year will be seen to have cost security-holders
dear, since the relapse has gen
erally brought prices below where they started
the year. There are stocks which have had the
dividend rate Increased, and which have never
theless fallen back below the level ruling before
the speculative rise set in. In anticipation of
the increase. It is the realization of this fact
and calculation of the rate of .returns on money
invested that have brought on to the market
a lafge element of Investment buyers who buy
stocks outright to hold. The large absorption
of" the floating supply of stocks thus accom
plished the forced liquidation of doubtful and
unsafe accounts, and, in the Wall-street phrase,
he squeezing of the water out of prices, slvea
a basis for the confidence with which Invest
ment buying la prosecuted. Faith In the 'con-
tlnuance of the country's prosperity within the
present horizon of the outlook is unimpaired.
Prices of gilt-edged investment bonds were
not much affected in last week's liquidation,
but.the Junior grade.or newly Issued or contin
gent Interest-paying bonds, which suffered last
week, have been In good demand this week.

CHICAGO, Dec SO. A microscopic comparison
of yesterday's final figures for May wheat with
the Initial price today showed a loss, this op
tion being at 6969c. This was laid at the
door of Liverpool, which was off d. The tone
was steady, however, as the weather was re
ported very cold, and 250,000 bushels of Duluth
wheat were worked from here to New York
late yesterday. When an additional sale of
100,000 bushels was announced today, shorts
stopped smashing hats and throwing grain long
enough to do a bit of covering, so as to leave
the old year with accounts evened up. ,
May, with this encouragement, reached 69c
and though almost completely neglected there
after, managed Jo close steady, at 6900c
a shade better than yesterday's final quota
tlona The corn market was steady, May closing
a shade up at 3232c
In the oats maVket the tone throughout was
firm. May closed c up, at 2323c
Provisions were a little easier, the factors
being liberal receipts and indications of con
tinued liberality next" week, together with
weaker prices at the yards. May pork closed
2c under jesterday, May lard, unchanged,
May rib3 2c lower.
There will be no session of the board New

NEW YORK FINANCES.
Banlc Statement Snows a Furtber
Gain In Surplus Reserve.
NEW YORK, Dec 30. The Financier
says: '
The statement of the Ne,w York clearing-house
banks for the week ending De
cember SO Hhowa a further gain of 5784,000
in surplus reserve, the total now standing
at $11,168,075. As was the case during the
previous week, air 'the cash gained by
the banks went to swell excess reserve,
and deposit requirements -were lessened by
"the shrinkage in that itenu The state
ment Is favorable, and Indicates that the
Influx of funds from the Interior In the
past six days has been quite as heavy as
had been estimated. . t 't '
The loss of gold to Europe by- Saturday's:
steamer does not count.'ln the 'current
exhibit, but the exports of a week -ago
figure to the full extent. The outward
flow, therefore, has been almost -ma'de tip
by receipts, and the gain in legal ten
ders represents the surplus 'shipment from
the interior; The banks have maintained
their position, so far as cash, is concerned,'1
but they have added lItttet6nh"eIr"lo"anlhg
capacity. If the experience of January
last year is a criterlor, heavy receipts for
the next few weeks may be expected from
domestic centers, with the difference tfi&t
whereas last winter the New York banlts
retained all the money that was forwarded,
they must now provide for the. demands
that Europe is making for American gold.
The arrangements wifh thet treasury
show there 'will be no further drain on
domestic funds into government vaults on
orjeratlons that takes money out of uset
even moTeeffesilvely than gold exports.
et-continuance of the present movement
Is Important, in that it determines the ex
tent to which the banks can expand their
loans and about the rates which they
will obtain on them. The same factors In
cident to the transfer of funds whlph
mark the January period in the United
States are operative abroad. Conservative
bankers are figuring that the return flow
of money from various centers into Hne
(great foreign banks will tend to malce
rates easier abroad and affect exchange
quotations to the point of stopping exports
of gold from New York. If this Is the
case, the banks here will probably recup-1
erate their resources, or at least they will
be in a position to expend their commit
ments. As it is, loans are now almost sta
tionary, while deposits are being reduced.
No one looks, however, for the burst or
expansion that marked the opening of Xha
great rise in- speculative prices in Janu
ary last, 1 ' '
