Between the llRht arrivals, nwinc to the poor condition of the railroads, and a good outside demand, the ecs market cleaned up ypfcterday and a steadier tone was Imparted 'to prices. I-folders, however, were more than wlIlinR to part with their stock, as figs are a risky mWa to carry these days. Things- favor a decline in prices, but the drop may be temporarily checked now and then hy orders from the outside. Poultry, a? has been the case all week, was scarce and in Rood demand ut firm prices. The course of prices in the coming week Is not clear. Most of the dealers look for Increased receipts, but unless they are too heavy, the retail trade will absorb them nil. The buttrr markft draped considerably, but there wan no change in prices.

There has been . a fair demand for flour lor shipment to North China purts. Orders from Jupnn are llcbt and very little is dolnr in the ay or J I oncrkontr or South China business.

HELPED - BY I110U1 Disclosures Create Demand j lor Harriman Stocks. CENTER MARKET ACTIVITY Speculation Also Fostered ty Easier Money Conditions Bank State ment Later Acts as a Clieclc to Trading. NEW YORK. Jan. 5. The speculative re vival which developed yesterday in the stock market had the effect of bringing in a large additional participation today. The trans actions for two hours were largely in ex cess of the "recent average for a full d-ay's business. ' Prices wavered when the completion of the bank statement became known and a. sharp r -action followed Its publication. The late rally In the market diet not carry prices back lb the previous high point, but the closing tone was strong. ' The ffreatest speculative activity centered tn the Harriman prroup. especially I'nlnn Pariilc. The disclosures of yesterday at the inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Com mission of the widp scope of the activities of Its executive in the purchase of stocRs nnd the acquirement of a voice In the con trol of other railroads came as a surprise 'to most of the stockholders themselves. Th exhibit of the power thus centered In their property apparently pleased them and there was no bIrd of the anxiety recently shown for the consequences of this Inquiry In the possible disclosure of a condition in the affairs of the Harrlmnn companies that would makft them amenable to leg-al proce by the government. The speculative spirit was fostered also by the quick relaxation lu the money mar ket which has occurred during the week. Confidence on this point was somewhat shaken by the showing of the bank, state ment, the net result of which was a cutting down of the surplus to a nominal figure. There was a notable expansion in the buying of bonds at the stock exchange and a general hardening of. prices. Total sal cm of honds, par value, $1,44,000. The action of the stock market with the opening of the New Year indicated a spirit of caution In .speculative sentiment and a degree of hesitation and uncertainty. The existence of this spirit seems to be respon sible for the air of constraint on speculative operation which characterized the first trans actions of the year. The action of the money market through the strain of thf annual settlements showed none of the violent unaettlement which had been reared. There remains a feeling of un certainty at to how much further this re laxlng tendency of the money market may lie exprctfa to go and now long It may per slst. Bondx -were dull dui-lnar the week and there wam no indication of an Important de mand for reinvestment such as usually ap- pears at the period of disbursement of year- ly profits. I'nited States new 4s registered declined and the coupons per cent on call durlnR the week. CAUSING STOCK yl'OTATIONS. living Salea.- High. Low. iia 4- :S m Bid.

RESERVE IS AGAIN LOW DECREASE IX PAST WEEK OI OVER FIVE .MILLIONS. Xew York Bunk Statement Shows Loss ill Cash Whore Gain Was Kxi)eclel . NEW YORK. Jan. 5. The Financier says: Last weeK's ofTlclal statement of the New York associated banks was disappointing in that it failed to record the Increase in cash which was" expected from the results of the known movements of' money during the week. Not only was this cash lower, but the surplus reserve was decreased, Instead of Its being augmented, as was looked for, to an unusually small sum. indicating that a Kreater number of the banks than was the case In the "previous week were below tho required reserve, It seems likely that the loan expansion was caused by the employ ment of money temporarily deposited by corporations In the previous week In antic ipation of Ita distribution for dividend and interest, which loans were called last week when tho above-noted pay men tn were af fected. The cash loss shown by ttie bank return was $402,100; the estimates called for an Increase of about Deposits were decreased Siy.277.2O0.
