APPLE STOCKS ARE REDCCED.
Market I In Better Shane, With Price
Steady.
Th surplus of apples which has weak
ened th market for some tlm past has
been largely reduced since receipts decreaaed
' and there Is consequently a healthier tone
In prices. The demand Is principally for
th moderate-priced varieties. 8om fancy
Ppltganbergs and Ortleys are offered at 12.75
and from this figure, apple price rang
doin to 75 cents.
Orang are In etrong demand and arri

a Bad Break.
The only thing that saved the local
chicken market from utter demoralization
yesterday was the shipping of considerable
quantities to the Soun 1 marketa. liens

for several days have been unusually heavy,
as a as the case Just before Thanksgiving,

that It cMd then. There was a good demand
for other kinds of poultry at th old prices.

Supporting Measures in tha
Stock Market.
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.

HOLIDAY TRADE IS ACTIVE IX
MOST SECTIONS.
Mercantile Collections Prompt for
the Season W holesale Busi

NEW YORK. Dee. 18 R. G. Dun &
Co.' weekly review of trade tomorrow win
Hohday trade is active, most rection, re
porting a substantial Increase over the vol
ume a year ago and where weather con
ditions are favorable, there is a good re
tall movement" of seasonable merchandise.
Wholesale and Jobbing house are doing
about the customary amount of business for
this time of year. Forward Spring con
tracts have been most encouraging, many
mills and factories having good orders for
shipment during the next three months, but
there Is still more or less idle machinery
In the leading industries.
Mercantile collections are prompt for the
season and trade show, a tendency to Im
prove gradually. Reports are especially
encouraging from the Central states and
the Northwest.
A lighter demand for hides has tended to
weaken quotations, except for sole leather
branded hides, which are scarce.
INDUSTRIES REPORT SLOW GAINS.
Normal Conditions N Are Bring Gradually
Restored.
NEW YORK. Dec- 10 Bradstreets to
morrow will say: Holiday trade shows fur
ther expansion and most cities report buy
ing of this character equal to or slightly
in excess of last year. In some sections,
particularly In the South, holiday trade Is
not so good as in 1907. The larger contera
are doing well and armies of shoppers are
in evidence, but many small cities report
relatively light business and demand shift
ing to eheaper lines
Inregular retail lines, unseasonably warm
.weather .baa been & drawback, particularly
In the Southwest and South for some time
past. Wholesale trade I, quieter and ex
cept for some- hurry orders to sort up de
pleted stocj&s. Jobbers also reporr less doing.
Inventories and stock-takings naturally
predispose to less activity from now till
after January
Reports from leading Industries are of
gradual gains and slow progress back to
normal.

RALLY COMES LATE
Early Losses Regained in
Wheat Market.
FIRM CLOSE AT CHICAGO
Shorts Turn Active Buyers on Pre
diction That World's Shipments
for Week Will Show
Large Decrease.
CHICAGO. Dec. 18. 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.
Provisions were in good volume, but prices
held fairly steady. At the close prices
were a shade to 7 cents higher.
