COLD WEATHER CHECKS FKC1T TRADE.
Northern California Celery Reported to Be
Froseo.
Tha cold weather kept the Front-street
fruit trade down fo a minimum. As most
stock was kept indoors because of the
frost, the street bore a holiday appearance.
Apples and oranges were the firmest fea
ture Receipts consisted of five, cars of bananas
In fine condition, one car of Southern Cali
fornia oranges and a car each of celery and
sweet potatoes. Reports from the South
a ere that celery waa f rosea In Northern
California, which will add to .h scarcity
and the firmness of prices.
A report from Consul John H. 5nodarass,
of Kobe, statea that the Japanese Depart
ment of . Agriculture and Commerce has de
termined to grant a substantial sum In aid
of its experimental station to Investigate the
exportation of oranges. It Is stated that
'.there la a larga demand for Japanese
oranges In Hawaii and the United Statea
every Winter, but the exporfr has been
greatly hampered hitherto by difficulty In
- packing the oranges so that they shall be
free from the ravages of parasites In' tran
sit. It Is to discover some method .of over
coming thi trouble that the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce Is cow Interest
ing Itself.
The potato market waa unchanged. There
was a stronger local demand, but not much
waa done on shipping account. .

PRESSURE IS LIGHT
Support Effective in Sustain
ing Stock Prices.
BUT DEMAND IS BACKWARD
Colorado & Southern Helped by
Confirmation of Pnrchas by
Burlington Foreigners
on Selling Side.
NEW TORK, Dec. K.r-Tbere was a sub
sidence of-the severe selling pressure In the
stock market today and support seemed to
be effective in sustaining prices. The de
mand did not prove aggressive and was
backward In following any considerable ad
vance In prices and the list weakened
sharply at the end.
The publication of a reassuring statement
from the president of the American Smelt
ing Refining Company seemed to check
the liquidation In that stock and its re
covery relieved the market from a source
of sympathetic weakness.
There was a conspicuous rise In Colorado
A Southern securities,- embracing the stocks
and bonds, the latter marking -even a more
marked advance than the stocks. This is
one of the minor railroad properties which
has figured most often lately in rumors
pointing to absorption into one or the other
of the large railroad systems. The working
out of a project to cover the carrying trade
from the Northwest to the Gulf of Mexico
is indicated In this project as wli as in
others Involving other railroads between
those regions which have also figured in
similar rumors. The purchase of the prop
erty in the interest of the Chicago, Burling
ton Quincy was practically confirmed dur
ing the day.
Foreign operators In American stocks were
Inclined to look for a bad effect from the
expected weak bank statement and they sold
stocks In this market, helping in the early
tone of unsettleraent.
The American Railway Association's
committee reported another Increase in the
totnl of surplus cars for the half month
ending December 9, amounting to 42,814,
bringing the total of 173,645 up to the
highest flguro touched since September 2.
The very general distribution in the in
crease In Idle equipment In all sections of
the country gave an unfavorable idea of
the progress of railroad traffic.
The bank statement. In its details. Is an
Illuminating exhibit of the efTect of .a rise
In money rates on deposits with New York
Clearing-House Banks, on which they pay
2 per cent In other banks and trust com
panies. The reduction of over (16.000.0o0
in the cash holdings of the clearing-house
bartka, which was the cause of the edvance
In money rates, ha been accomplished by
a reduction of (23.5')7.30O In the loan aver
ages and of (48,111,500 In the actual loans,
and that in a week that has seen an un
usually large amount of important new
financing and enlarging demand for banking
credlta The Increase of (16.466.600 In the
loans of trust companies and other banks
points to the source from which part of the
new resources were secured. Presumably
Interior hanks depositing in New Vork
Clearing-House Banks also have placed loans
on their own account In New York by draw
ing on their New York correspondents.
Bonds were strong. Total sales, par
value, (4,800,000.
United 6tates 2s registered declined M
per cent on call during the week.

Butter Firm.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Dee. 1. (Special.)
Heavy sales of dressed turkeys were made
at firm prices. Most of the stock offering
Is dressed Eastern. Many retailers are lay
ing In a supply of this, fearing that local
stock will be senrco next week. Despite
the arrival of five cars and the reports that
ten others are due. many retailers through
out the city tjelleve prices will be high and
that money invested In turkeys at prevailing
prices will be a good investment. Today's
prlo2i ranged from 20 to 24 cents.
Th cold weather Is stiffening the egg mar
ket. Dealers had no difficulty in securing
4 and 47 cents for the best local ranch.
Butter was unchanged at S7 cents. There
was some talk of an advance, but prices are
so high that several of the prominent dealers
object to putting them up again unless ab
solutely necessary.
There was a fairly liberal supply of fancy
apples today selling at (3 to (2.50. Poor
apples do not sell at all in this market.
Seattle Jobbers ara making an effort to
have the Government Tea Inspector's office,
now located at Tacoma. removed to Seat
tle. Five times as much tea is unloaded on
the 6eattle docks in a year as at Tacoma
and local Jobbers claim they are entitled to
the office.
Wheat was dull. Hay -was weaker, but
not materially lower.
Veal was rather scarce at K cents for top

BftRELY SAVES SURPLUS
ONXY DECK EASE IX DEPOSITS
PREVENTS ITS EXTINCTION.
Remarkable Statement of the New
York Clear! ng-Honse Banks. -Big
Drop in ILoans.
NEW TOR.K, Dec. 1. The Financier will
say:
The associated banks of the City of New
Tork made one of th most remarkable
statements Saturday covering transactions of
the previous week ever known In their his
tory. The loan Items showed a necord
breaking decrease of (48,111.500, while de
posits were contraoted by the enormous sum
of 3,7:5.000. The loss in cash during
the. week was (16,678.400.
The unusually large changes were due
primarily to payments made on account of
the Panama loan, the United States Treas
ury receipts for too week having exceeded
(57.000.000, while payments out of the
Treasury were less than (34.000,000. The
loss of actual cash by the banks for the
week exceeded the total surplus reserve re
ported for the week previous and the only
thing that saved the reserve from extinc
tion was the great decrease in deposits,
which lessened the reserve requirements by
over (16.000.000. As a matter of fact, the
reserve on all deposits decreased only (746,
000, leaving the present surplus reserve
based on actual conditions at 114.184.05.
The summary of state banks and trust
companies In Greater New York not re
porting to the New Tork clearing house
showed, as has been the case for two
weeks past, a heavy increase in leading
Items. Loans expanded (16.466,600 and de
posits (14.605,000, while cash Increased less
than (850.000.
The clearing house banks now hold 26.2
per cent cash reserve and the total reserve
of the state banks and trust companies waa
28.60 per cent.
The atatement of average of the clearing
house banks for the week shows that the
banks heHd (10.009.700 more than the re
quirements of the 26 per cent reserve rule.
This Is a decrease of (6,889,825 In the pro
portionste cash reserve as compared with
fast week. Ths atatement follows:

CHICAGO, Dec. 19. The market opened
weak, with priois Qo to He lower com
pared with the previous close. Before the

prices 'held around the lowest' point. The
market closed at almost the bottom, with
May (l.OGliii'l.OoH and July 97W4M7HC
Reports from Argentina stated that the
weather there was hot and dry, ideal con
ditions for harvest operations, whloh are
In full swing In that country. The advices
caused weaknoss In the wheat market at
Liverpool, which was later reflected In the
local market. A further decline in corn
prices here also induced considerable selling
of wheat. There was no new demand for
cash wheat here and no new export busi
ness was reported.
The corn market was again subjected to
heavy selling pressure by leading elevator
interests which resultod in still further de
clines in prices, the low point today for May
being reached at 59?tc. which was also the"'
bottom price for the July delivery. The
market cloeod weak, with prices a shade to
4c lower than the previous close, with
May at 60 4 e and July at 60 60 '-fee.
Oata were weak nearly all day. The close
was easy with prices unchanged to V4o

Final quotations on May were SOB505,o

Provisions were quiet but firm. Prices at
close were 5c to 10c higher.
