Its c,orrspppdencef for the week ending
December 15. as follows:
The geenrally good condition of the

but the, ideas of sellers are so far above

admitted. , It is also confidently stated
' that the stock In manufacturers' hands

a question, however, whether- there will

Samples of-new heavy weights will not be

the market has "lapsed -into a state of

the export tnuii apparently satisfied for

well -supplied -at reasonable prices. There
is. also -a good supply of very choice pineapples-
a-nd Japanese oranges, which, with
t apples;, grapes, bananas, etc, will meet
the dejnandsof the-season in good ehane.
Apples are a little firmer on choice stock,
FINANCIAL NEWS
but there is still an oversupply of com
mon varieties. From present appearances,
quite a few Christmas turkeys will be
served without cranberry sauce, as there
Is a decided scarcity of cranberries in the
market, and prices are soaring to extrav
agant heights.
BUTTER A carload of Eastern butter
Is rolling in this direction, and this, to
gether with continued mild weather,
which holds receipts up to pretty fair
proportions, prevents much strength la
the market, although there Is no change
in prices. Best creamery sells at 524 and
55 cents, and a shipping demand takes,
up all of the store butter offering at 25
and 22 cents per roll. The holiday trade,
of course, prevents an accumulation of
stocks.
EGGS Efforts to get the price of ecs
down much below 30 cents have not been
very successful, and while this figure has
been shaded occasionally, there is not
much difficulty in moving all of the strict
ly fresh stock at the top figure. The holi
day demand, of course, is greater thai,
that of a month earlier, when hlghet
prices prevailed, but the supply 1s greater.
Eastern arc still plentiful at 20 to 22$s
cents.
POULTRY The advance guard of
Christmas turkeys struck town yesterday
and undoubtedly sold for better prices
than will be realized later, unless re
ceipts should be lighter than usual. Live
sold as high as 12 and even 13 cents yes
terday, while best dressed stock sold at
14 and 15 cents. There were some culhv
which went for .less money, but the market-might
be termed fairly steady for
good stock at full prices. Dealers are
anxious, however, lest the stock be held
back too long and the outside demand
filled from other quarters. If good shlti
ments are received today they will prob
ably clean up at good prices, but if ev
erything Is held back until the last day
and then rushed in on the market, there
will be the usual break, and some stock
sold at sacrifice rates. A carload of East
ern turkeys are en route to this city. The
aproachlng Chinese festivities havw
caused a better demand for ducks, ana
some sales have been made as high as ?6
per dozen. Geese are moving fairly well
at $6 to $S per dozen, with some large
stock selling 50 cents higher. Chickens
continue in very bad shape, although good
stock sells In a small way at $4 per dozen.
There is a moderate demand for dressed
chickens at 8 and Sc per pound.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Furious Activity With a Feverish
and Unsettled Close.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19. There was no
appreciable let-up In the furious activity
in the stock market today, or In the act
ive, broad and varied trading. A quick
market was offered for the volume of
stock, and the strength continued at va
rious points in the list, but the taking of
profits proved heavier than for some time
past, and made a general Inroad upon
prices. The market fairly turned reac
tionary throughout at one time, under the
Influence ofsome rather violent breaks In
special stocks. Tin Plate was the most
effective of these, when It slumped 3
after the show of early strength. A drop
of 14 points In New York Air Brake was
Impressive In Its way, but had little el-,
feet on the market. The reactionary ten
dency of the junior Vanderbllts developed
that speculators had been taking rather
too sanguine a view of possible readjust
ments of securities of these companies.
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St
Louis stocks fell back heavily, although
some went up briskly In the morning. An
effort was made to reclaim the bull posi
tion In the final hour by sudden advances
In Northern Pacific, Sugar, Illinois Ceii
tral. General Electric, Chicago Terminal
Transfer and the Wisconsin Central
stocks. The advances in these from the
low point ran from 224 points. Prices
did not stiffen In sympathy, but the spec
ulative enthusiasm was fully renewea,
and the market closed very feverish and
unsettled, with a point or more loss 01
some of the gains. Even the Erie stocks,
which had been the real backbone for
some days, came to a pausje today, and
the first preferred, after rising 2, reacted
1, with a final fractional rally.
There was reaction from the high point
many times before In the present move
ment of stocks, and the real lack In to
day's market seems to be that thp new
stocks which were available to be rushea
up were not sustaining forces In the mar
ket. Pretty much the whole list has been
exploited in the course of the present
speculation. The character of the market,
otherwise than In theyse technical partic
ulars, was not materially changed.
Professional operators took the bear
side of the market with the culmination
of the rise and sold freely on the short
side today, as they have done for several
days past, but they also covered largely
before the close. The demands of the
speculation upon the money market have
made no Impression yet upon money rates,
a development which would prove an ef
fectual check upon excessive speculation.
The bond market was active and strong.
Total sales, par value, 55.260.000.

NEW YORK, Dec 19. The Commercial
Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
The markets here were active today,
considering the near approach of the hol
idays. There was some irregularity owing?
to apprehensions about the money situa
tion. Americans were very brisk. Tn
chief attention was devoted to specialties
Eries, Southern Pacifies and Southerns
being prominent The others were sym
pathetically hardened, but the buying was
still mainly professional- At the close,
they eased, except in the case of the
chief favorites. Conservative experts
deprecate excessive purchasing of" low
priced shares, fearing the ultimate effect
on the market Money was steady. "The
Bank did a considerable discount busi
ness. Paris and Berlin exchanges were
slightly more favorable.

Boston "Wool Market.
BOSTON, Dec. 19. The American Wool
Sz Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
"The colder weather of the past week
or 10 days has started a somewhat better
business in the clothing trade, which Is
reflected In a slightly Increased Inquiry
for wool, but the amount of business
actually transacted In the latter com
modity shows no improvement; In" fact.
it Is slightly less .than that of last week.
The general fellng Is that the volume of
business in the wool market will be of
mqderate prpportiona from.now until alter
the turn of the new year. Manufactur
ers, are buying 'wool only to meet press
ing wants. The wool trade, therefore,
naturally anticipates a decidedly improved
demand for wool after the turn of the
year. The market may be quoted as quite
steady. Actual selling prices remain un
changed. "The sales of the week In Boston
amounted to 3,570,000 pounds domestic and
230,000 pounds foreign, making a total of
3.S00.OCO pounds, against a total of 4,212,000
for the previous week, and a total of 3,363,
000 for the corresponding week last yar.
The sales since January 1 amount to
144,471.400 pounds, against 344,815,776 pounds
for the corresponding time last year."" ,

tions. 2242 being temporary appointments,
