NEW TORK. Dec. 11. The stock market
.had a demoralized appearance at times today,
when an eager unloading of securities was in
progress without regard to prices. The volume
of dealings rose to over .1,000,000 shares, or
about double these of yesterday, which again
were more than double those of the day before.
The throwing on the market of this stock
greatly augmented the volume of liquidation,
which met with very poor absorptive power,
and violent declines were the result.
There were points in the market where bet
ter resistance was shown than in others, nota
bly among the Pennsylvania group, Reading.
Amalgamated and Sugar. The last-named
etock closed the day with an actual net gain
of a small fraction. On the other hand, the
Hock Islands, the United States Steels and
Pacifies generally proved easily vulnerable.
Tho extreme decline In Rock Island common
was 414 and In the preferred 4. The final
prices were respectively and 2 higher than
the lowest. Steel lost 3 points and the pre
ferred 2, and their final prices were only a
fraction better than the lowest points. The
unsupported condition of- these stocks had a
strong sentimental effect on the whole mar
ket The Venezuelan situation exerted only a
sentimental Influence.
The real motive for the precipitate selling
was the growing conviction that a further ex
tensive loan contraction will be necessary to
meet the requirements for money between now
and the first of the year. There was more
forced liquidation from the forcing of lenders
to extend maturing loans, .but holders were
moved by apprehension that the Fame condi
tions would shortly become effective In their
own cases, so that they threw over large hold
ings. There were some of the largest lenders
In the street also who withheld their funds
from the ,tlme loan market, with the avowed
Intention of waiting for higher rates of time
loans. This rroccss served to keep some sup
ply In the call loan market. As high as 9
per cent was paid, however, for call loans.
Time loans for short periods were practically
unobtainable, and rates were very firm for the
longer periods. The rates quotedwere purely
nominal, and all sorts of devices were resorted
to to Increase the actual rate of return over
nominal Interest rate, such as charges for
commissions and implied agreements on the
part of the borrowers to withdraw only a cer
tain per cent of tho -immt i ,
maturing at this- time were the immedlate'
"u;c oi ln emoarrassment of the holders of
stocks. Rumors were current of the liquida
tion of a loan of several millions to a single
toank. which necessitated heavy realizing on
collateral. A curious feature was that this
collateral Included many hundred shares of the
stock of the bank calling the loans, which were
t ? ??en raarket- Money brokers re
ported that there was not much calling in of
money placed on call, and they also reported
that -where mntn-inr. tir, 1 1. . .
bufc. , hjuMo be paid off." the,- were" unable to!
. , , "u uorrowers rront in
terior banks. The rate paid in such cWwas
considerably above normal rate. Where The
lo-al anks are lending at all It Is simply to
supply the urgent needs .of their regular cus
tomers for routine business purposes.
Sterling exchange cemained firm today, and
opinions were expressed that more gold wouW
be sent to South America. The retention of the
?n7 ,?,SC,Unt rate by the Bank of EnJ
S XCl Vid to be an ideation of con
fidence that the South Americans' demands
TorkLThe0nShT BW be erted to New
lork. The Subtreasurj continues to withdraw
large amounts from the money market "ndll
rumors of relief measures by the TrJasurv
Department met with denials, Today's S

BUYING WAS GENERAL
SMALL RECEIPTS AND GOOD CASH
DEMAND HELPED WHEAT.
The Opening; Was Easier on Lorrer
Cables and a ilearlsh Gov
ernment Report.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11. Lower cables and a
bearish Government report caused an easier
feeling in wheat at the opening, and there was
considerable short selllne: early. The small
receipts and a good cash demand brought out
general buylnjr by commission houses, part of
which was reported to be for the leading long.
Offerings were rather, limited through the day
and a strong tone prevailed, the close being
at the high point for December, with a gain of
lc, at 75c May opened a shade lower, at
767Cc, and advanced steadily up to 77c
The close was c higher, at 770i77c
Corn was only moderately active throughout
the entire day, the feature being renewed cov
ering by a prominent short who covered heav
ily yesterday. May closed c higher, at 44
Hc December closed c up, at 57c
pats ruled firm, the- strength In corn being
the main factor. May closed -c higher, at
33033c
Weakness in the hog market caused lower
prices in provisions at the start and liquida
tion by outsiders added to the decline. January
pork closed 27c lower, lard 1720c lower,
and ribs 17c lower. .

Export of Timber Prohibited.
United States Consul Dudley, at Vancouver,
B. C, reports to the State Department as fol
lows: In advanc? sheets of Consular Reports, No.
1470, issued October 10, 1002, a report of mine
was published regarding the lumber Industry
in British Columbia, In which X made the
statement that an export dutyxhad been placed
upon timber cut upon the public lands of this
province. The Information upon which I made
that statement was derived from the newspa
pers of this city, but my attention has since
been called to the fact that It is not an export
duty, but ah absolute prohibition placed by tho
government upon the export of timber cut upon
lands owned by the province.
Timber off all unsurveyed and unpre-empted
crown lands can be cut either undr 21-year
leases or annual licenses. During tho session
of 1001, an amendment to the then existing
land act was raseed, reading as follows:
"All timber cut from provincial lands must
be manufactured within the confines of the
Province of British Columbia, otherwise the
timber ro cut may bo seized and forfeited to
the crown and the lease canceled."
Thu point was raised that the abo-e only ap
plied to leases, not licenses. In July, 1002, an
order In. council was .made to make 'the above
restriction crrly to llconses.

Bnyinfr' Syndicate Makes Liberal
Pnrchases Hopn Are Dnll and
Prices Irregular.
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. (Special.) Prunes
continued active on the large sizes and prices
ruled- very firm. The news by wire from the
Coast today that the buying syndicate has se
cured considerable stock, and that outside pack
ers were refusing to confirm business for De
cember shipment, added to the strong views of
first hands here. Bids on stock in transit of
7c for 40-50s and 5?4c for 50-GOs were turned
down on several carloads. Two fair-sized par
cels of 40-G0s, inclusive, for export to London
were sold at 6Uc in 25-pound boxes. For tho
sizes 60-OOs Inclusive, the feeling is barely
steady, supplies being liberal, but thero Is no
pressure to sell among holders. In a small,
way, sales of Oregon 30-40s are noted at -74c.
The supply, however. Is good, and round lots
move out at 7tfc No 50-60s offer. Business in
40-50s in transit Is heard at 6c Salem wires
a stror.s market on 30-403.

FOREIGN METAL. IN DEMAND.
November Product of Blast Furnace
Not Up to the Normal.
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. Our monthly blast
furnace report reflects the peculiar conditions
affecting the local branch of the Industry, says
the Iron Ace. A very considerable number of
furnaces have started, chiefly In the districts
affected by the anthracite coal strike, but tho
November product was not up to the normal.
Our coke and anthracite ton capacity Is now
up to 330,617k tons per week, an Increase of
about C00O tons per week over last month.
Tho steel works are short of metal, and some
of the larger plants east of the Alleghany
Mountains have purchased round lots of foreign
Besaemer pig for early delivery at about $20 25
ex-ship, duty paid. There has also beyi quite
a fair tonnage of low phosphorus pig. On
the other hand, importers of foundry iron have
done very little in European markets lately,
'and are holding off, the result being a further
weakening of values.
In the domestic market the feature of in
terest is the resumption of negotiations between
the leading interest and the Bessemer Associa
tion, which, however, has. not led to anything
as yet. Some moderate Jots of Bessemer pig
have sold at Pittsburg, and with a good ton
nage of basic pig has been placed with Eastern
consumers.' In foundry Iron Chicago notes a
shortage of malleable fo prompt delivery, but
on the whole the markets, are qulot. The sell
ing of foreign billets has been resumed, and we
can report transactions In 1000 to 2000-ton lots.
It is worthy of note that the German steel
works arc engaged in negotiations to place
thq export sales of steel In the hands of their
syndicate, which makes the sales of steel for
the domestic market. This has already
strengthened, the market, and the lowest -flgure
named for German steel billets, ex-shlp. duty
paid, is $20 7527.
The rail mills have now accumulated orders
for next year to the extent of 1,800,000 tons, to
which must be added the amount of orders
which will bo carried Over from this year. Im
porters are in receipt of some round inquiries,
both for domestic and Canadian account. The
structural mills continue to receive good or
ders, among those recently placed being 12.000
tons for a bank building in Chicago. Tho
plate trade Is congested with work. A meet
ing of the manufacturers Is to be held in this
city, at which the percentages of participation
for next ,year will be discussed. Very good ac
counts are being received of tho sheet trade,
and the bar rniHs seem to be doing well. The
sheet trade, however. Is still In rather a poor
condition and t.rlces are suffering.
Board of -Trade WIxs Appeal.
CHICAGO, Dec. ll.-The Appellate

sued by Judge Chytraus last August, en
joining the Chicago Board of Trade and
the Weare Commission Company from
conducting an Investigation in regard to
the differences between the illlno drain
