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. There have been
heavy arrivals of Maine stock and whil.t at
the beginning of the week sound .tuff made

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.
