Co,of Ixindon. under dale of November 30. aa follows: The .Ituatlon here on box applea is really very puxzllng and one cannot with -any de gree of certainty forecast conditions even three or four daya ahead. Last week there waa a much better feeling In the Oregon - Newtown market, which led us to think that . there was going to be a finish of the period of stagnancy. As far as this week Is con cerned, however, our Ideas have not ma terialised and things have been Just about as alow as ever. We -are hopeful that the requirements for Chriatmas may move some f the stocks here and that Is all we feel we can say about It. With regard to Cali fornlan Xewtowns, ti tiers have gone out a little belter this week and they have realized from 5s tq 3s Od. Although, how ever. 6s Is being asked for four tiers, they leem to be unsalable at the price. On the other hand, barrels are moving r.-eely aud we are pleased to report a rise of from Is to is per barrel on a parcel of Maine Baldwins we had for sale here this week. This variety generally meet, with a good demand for the Christmas trade and we are hopeful of doing better still during the next two weeks. f In Liverpool Canadian stock Is doing very well and Greenings especially have met with a very good demand, aa high as 2l)s per barrel being obtained.

WEDNESDAY, STOCK TRADE SLOW Price Movements Are Irregular and Halting. TONE AT CLOSE IS EASY List Moves Back and Forth and Ends tlic Day With Moderate Losses. Call Money Riitcs Some what Firmer. NEW- YORK, Dec 17. There was a de cided slowing down of speculative activity today and the stock market appeared list less by comparison with recent days of fever ish trading and spectacular fluctuations. Traders who bought stocks eagerly yesterday after announcement of the Supreme Court's anthracite decision showed little Inclina tion to follow up the rise today. Specula tion lagged and quotations fell back. Movements were Irregular and halting, Reading at one time sold 2 below yester day's close, and later a point over. The gen eral list veered back and forth and ended the day with moderate losses predominating. Call money rates were somewhat firmer and this reminder of monetary conditions which may prevail at the close of the year helped to check speculative activity. The bond market was irregular with a lower tendency. Total sales, par value, $1. 660,000. united States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. C.
