SLUMP If POULTRY
Local Receipts Too Large for
Requirements.
LOWEST PRICES OF SEASON
Keorts of CalifornlH Prune Corner
Are Received With Reserve by
' Eastern Trade Wheat, Oats '
and Barley Strong.
- The poultry market, which has been re
in, trom bad to worae all the week, suffered
.the worst slump of the season yesterday.
Not only were receipts very lare, but Wi
:-etallers. claiming: they were stocked
bought sparingly, with the result that a
rood many coops were carried over at the
close of the day. Under the circumstances It
was difficult to obtain accurate quotations,
narlcularly on chickens. Probably most of
the hens sold brought around 12 cents, but
iMe "l were some dealers who would gladly
hv7 cleaned up at 11 cents If they could
hav i had offers. Springs and mtxad coops
ol.il at the usual discount. Some lots of
fr -.rs brought 14 and 15 cents. Turkeys
wft a drug on the market and buyers could
nf found at 15 eents. Geese also dragged
but ducks, because of their scarcity, were
flr-n.r.
receipts of dressed poultry of all kinds
err unusually large and buyers proved ln-d.n's.-mt.
Taken altogether the market
was In about as bad a shape as it was Just
preceding Thanksgiving.
Tie eicg market, while not quoted lower.
wa a dragging affair and by most houses
on -:ie street was considered decidedly weak.
Tte large supply of country creamery but
ter (ears heavily on the market and some
vr) fair stock is offering as low as 80 cents
aid seconds can be had at S3 cents. The
r:u creameries continue apart in their
vlrts. a few still holding at 37 V4 cents,
cim atlons being govcrened by the present
sire of their supplies.
oKTariCAI, OF PRCNB CORNER RF.POBT
Fartera Trade Receives California Rumor
With Reserve.
Regarding the alleged attempt to corner
in, unsold stock or uainornia pruuw. i'
?s"-w Yr.rk Commercial of January 6. said:
'.'he reports of a threatened concentration
or the stocks of 1007 crop California prunes
oi. the coast are received in the local trade
with considerable reserve, and while it Is
admitted that the total holdings are light
compared with other years and larpely in
the hands of the packers. It is doubted
wtiether the packers as a whole would en
ler into such a deal after the experience
if two years ago, when a corner in apri
cots and peaches was effected, and some of
the principals In the deal were outwitted
by competitors. The stock of prunes on
the Coast Js given as not In excess of 500
carloads, of which about 0 per cent is
held by the packers. Few Interests In the
trade here believe the reported corner will
be effected.
Better Demand for Apples.
Trading In the fruit line was of fair pro
portions yesterday. More interest Is being
shown in apptos, local supplies of which just
now are low. The bulk of the cheaper grades
has disappeared and buyers are turning their
attention to the better varieties. Plentiful
stocks are carried in storage, which have
not yet been drawn upon. The street Is
about bare of bananas and more will arrive
before Wednesday. A, car. .of fancy oranges
came In yesterday and a caryof sweet po
tatoes last night. A mixed car of vegetables
is due today.
Southern Iron Surplus Reduced.
BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 10. The surplus of
pig Iron which has accumulated since Oc
tober, because of the collapse of the iron
market, has been reduced in the past few
weeks from 00,1HM tons to less than 55.000
tons and the curtailed production will short
ly be called off. Only the smaller dealers
will accept orders for Iron under $13.50 per
ton for No. 2 foundry.
Cereals Firm and Hay Weak.
The oats and barley markets though
quiet, continue to show firmness, because
of a somewhat better inquiry. Wheat holds
steady with a moderate amount of busi
ness passing. Hay is Inclined to be weaker
because of larger offerings.
Apples Higher at Tacoma.
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.)
The market for home-grown apples has so
Improved since the first of (the year that
the Bay Island Producers' Union is able to
get $1.40 a box. an advance of 15 cents for
the best fruit shipped by the ranchers on the
Island and mainland up Sound. The Islands
are now about cleaned out of apples.

IKING OF PROFITS
Stock Operators Make Use of
Their Opportunity.
AND REACTION SETS IN
Large Gain In Cash Kxpectcd to Be
Shown hy Today's Bank State
ment Slump in Southern
Railway Securities.
NEW YORK. Jan. 10. After opening with
a buoyant upshot of prices, which gave a
material extension to the rise of yesterday.
and then maintaining an appearance of
great activity for a time, it pegan io ue
manifest that the professional operators in
the stock market had been tjusy taking their
profits in the hurly-burly of the day's trans
actions. The early market showed some ex
pansion of commission-house demana aiso,
attracted by the appearance of reviving in
terest and a strong recovery in the market.
There was little In the news of the day to
Indicate marked changes in recent condi
tions. The usual forecast of the weekly currency
movement agreed in reporting a large cash
gain, the estimates differing to some ex
tent on the amount of cash from local
sources which -has come into sight during
the week. The inflow of cash from the in
terior has been larger than last week, the
balance In favor of New York on the ex
press movement estimated at approximately
$8,000,000. The arrivals of the last of the
gold engagements have been sufficient to
overbalance a small absorption on sub-
treasury operations. The ' stock market
rallied briskly from a sharp reaction when
tnese figures appeared. The speculation m
stocks during the week has been based
largely on an assumption that the deficit
in the legal reserves of the New York banks
wouJd be practically wiped out this week.
Last Saturday the deficit still stood at $11,-
509,500. so that It will be perceived that
its obliteration seems to depend on a sub
stantial loan reduction.
Discounts continued to fall in the foreign
money centers and the Australia Imperial
Bank marked down Its official rate. An
item of the day's news was the statement
of the gold production at the Rand in De
cember, which rose to 583,526 ounces, a
record output for any month.
With the reaction in the stock market
caused by the speculative profit-taking,
there came Into consideration again some of
the topics which were driven into the back
ground. Financial news of some railroad
systems or which the credit is not high
gave rise to renewed misgivings. The pres
sure of Southern Pail way securities espe
cially was conspicuous.
The rapid inflow Jf cash to bank reserves
Is expected to be taken advantage of to re
plenish the United States Treasury's working
balance by some further withdrawals of
uuvenuiieui deposits with tne banks. Anoth
er requirement for additional caxh
gested by the movement of the trust com
panies towards membership in the New York
Clearing House, which will involve a very
material increase In ash holdings by those
institutions.
The market's weak closing h-ab nH u-
influence of the slump in Southern Railway
stocks and bonds, with its strong suggestion
of serious financial embarrassment for the
Bonds were lrrpcular t.i ,

BUSINESS
But

Iron Products.
NEW YORK. Jan. 10. Bradstreef. to
morrow will say:
Financial affair, show a marked Improe
ment and money is more plentiful and easier
to obtain, but the gain, in trade ana industry-
still Is largely one o sentiment, be
cause business is still quiet. Railway earn
ings and bank clearings are below a year
ago. Collections are slow, though better
than a month ago.
Mild weather Is still a bar to the widest
activities in seasonable goods North and
West, and retailers are stimulating lagging
demand by reduction sales. Southern trade
shows a Uttle more life than a week ago.
Some lines report better demand than dur
ing the last week of December.
Evidences of the sharp curtailment, almost
stagnation, that struck Industry in the last
quarter of 10O7 are coming to light, tor
one thing, prices of commodities liave
scored the third successive drive and the
level is now below a year ago. Iron prod
ucts fell perpendicularly In the last quarter
and the rate of production was cut in two In
two months. Since the first of the year
some resumptions' have occurt-ed.
Business failures for the week ending
January 9 are 439. against 435 last week.
239 in the like week of 1907, 268 In 1908. 295
in 1905 and 315 in 1904. Failures In Canada
numbered 63 as against 67 last week and
2-1 this week a year ago.
Wheat. Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week
ended January 9, aggregated 6.804.273 bush
els against 4,073,099 this week last year.
COMMERCIAL, LOANS MADE EASILY.
Curtailment of Output Holds Prices Steady.
Brighter Prospects.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
Sentiment has improved in response to the
brighter outlook, commercial loans being
maue wnn more rreeaom man at any recent
date. As much buying was only held back
by inability to raise funds, the easier money
market will result in contracts now beinir
placed.
The curtailment of output has maintained
commodity prices, the average now being
iiigiier man in uiy, im some transactions
in hides have been made at sllo-htlv hlirhei.

iii.n m natives, wnicn now comprise most
