rrlcpn Take On a St f tidier Tone, But Only
Teniporarily.
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.

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.

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. The required reserve
wn.8 Increased X4.SI9,:lOi). 11 1 ikT to m, hlch
the loss In rash made t7i.22i.40O a n the de-
crease in surplus reserve, to fl7,N-", the
smallest amount on record, although at the
