NET CHANGES ARE SMALL Weakest l-Vatures Are the Smelting and Copper Shares Unsatis factory Bank Statement Is Expected. NEW YORK. Dec. 18. Ther was further weakness In stocks today, but the market was not eo entirely without support s was th case yesterday. Laet prices'. In fact, wer llttl changed. Effort were plainly seen during the early part of the day to ar rest the decline. The retilstsnce shown by American Smelting at 60 and by United States Stael at 53 was an example. When the smelting stock began to break to new low levels, the bears threw off their timidity and renewed the attack on the general list. Th assumption ks widespread that a con certed professional attack la .responsible for the decline In prices, and the quick rallies from time to time. Indicating a hasty cov ering by shorts, is corroborative of this view. The subtleties of stock speculation, however, are beyond clear discernment and another view of th matter attributes the semblance of bear operations to the masked purpose of a party long of stocks to dienuie of the hold ings, a big raid on prices tending to Incite support of prices by lne-lde Interests, where known speculative liquidation would be left to take Its coarse. Much attention was devoted to American Smelting and to the published reports of a project to build rival smelters through th country and organize a formidable rival to the present dominant Interests. While the Intention to organize this competition was believed to some extent, the present -weakness, of American Smelting shares was ascribed partly to their vulnerable position by reason of over-speculation, an advance of prices unwarranted by the dividend re turn, the earning and the prospects In the trade. Th ctaee sympathy with this weak ness m-as shown by other stocks in the metal group, even thooe supposed to benefit from the new smelting project being proof of this. The condition In the copper market waa re sponsible evidently for th sharp decline In Amalgamated Copper and reports of a com bination In process of formation to control the marketing of copper did not offset the knowledge that production was proceeding far In advance of consumption in that In dustry. The larger Inferences drawn from th threatened smelting competition His) hurt the market. The hostile array of great financial groups was an unpleasant contrast with th hopes recently prevalent In the financial district of drawing together all the great forces of wealth Into harmony and co operation. The passenger far war opened up by the Wabash over business 'between Pittsburg and Chicago had something of the same effect.- with Increased Influence on account of the supposition that E. H. Harrl man was a new power in Wabash affairs. A more rational explanation of th press ure of liquidation In th stock market was found In the outlook for tomorrow's bank statement. The rise In money rates during the week seems to have attracted soma funds from other points, the gain of th local banks on the balance In the Interior move ment rising sharply over last week to over $2.o00.000. This Is a meager offset to th ub-Treaaury's absorption of $24,453,000. As the figure of the surplus reserve stood at under $17,000,000 last Saturday, the disap pearance of th surplua would be Indicated without allowance for changes In the loan Item. Important financial operations during the week have made continued requirements on banking credits. Th easier ton ot call loans yesterday and today, however, prove the conservation of a mar gain of surplus reserves. The easier rat for money was accom plished today by a recovery In foreign ex change rates and by a violent break of two centimes in the sterling exchange rate at Paris. Discounts also hardened In Paris and In I.ondon and gold was marked up In London today. Th likelihood of a resump tion of gold 'exports from . New York was thus increased. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. $5,900,000. United States bonds un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. K.4iO 7H Low. Bid.

The wheat .market opened weak with prices 4B!ic to S'xC lower than yesterday's final figures and con tinued weak the greater part of the day. There was a fair rally, however, late in the day. owing to active buying by shorts based mainly on a prediction that the world's shipments of wheat for the w?ek will show a liberal decrease. As a result of this de mand, th market closed at almost the best prices of th twat day, with May $1.05 1.06 and July 7S97c. Selling through out the day was inspired principally by a further decline In the price of corn and oats, but weakness of the wheat market at Liver pool and the report of a St. Louis trade journal regarding the Fall-sown crop of wheat In this country also had considerable Influence. According to the St. Louia Jour nal, late-sown wheat has been greatly benefited by recent rains, but the early sown crop has been Injured by Hessian flies. There was no demand for cash wheat here and export business also was at ft standstill. Corn closed weak, with prices to c below the previous close. Final quotations on May were at 60 Vic and on July at SOHc Oats were weak and closed H cent lower. The market closed weak, with May gt 51c and July at 45 54 c.
