A SAGGING TENDENCY STOCKS SfFFKR FI103I SUSPENSE IX FINANCIAL CinCLES. ForeiRners Selling American Securities Indications of Bright Trade Conditions, Locally Soon.

At New York, yesterday, money on call was 4Tj8 per cent.; last loan, 5; closed easy at 4fi3. Prime mercantile paper, 77UO per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4.S3it4.83!2 for demand and $I.S7?V3SS for sixty days; posted rates, $4SSft4.S3 and l.90tfl.90; commercial bills, 14.804. Silver certificate?. i67Uc; bar silver, C6;c; Mexican dollars, G2?c. At London bar eilver was COd per ounce. Total sale3 of stocks were 150.SS3 shares, Including the following: American Sugar, 13.900; American Tobacco. 2S,9Xi Atchison, S.100; Burlington, 9,200; Chicago Gas, 4,500; General Electric, 3.100; Louisville Sz Nashville, 7.S09; Reading. 5,200; St. Paul, 15.500; United States Leather preferred, 13,400; Western Union, 9,500. The New York stock market displayed asagging tendency in prices during the greater part of yesterday, and the speculative movement was sluggish. Suspense is growing acute in financial circles regarding the proposed bond issue, as the matter had been generally expected to be closed by this time. The same condition applies to almost all other branches of Wall-street business, which are rendered unsettled by the protracted delay on a question of such decided 4nterest. Tl;e conflicting inliuences of premiums on gold to arrive and coincident exports of gold from this country, uncertainty regarding the probable course cf the money and commercial paper markets, and the liquidation la American securities in London, due to the Transvaal Imbroglio, and other causer, all contribute to the disquiet of local dealers and investors. Foreign caMrs cafe lower previous to the opening h to and the arbitrage operations for Lond a acount were for Fales. A reported inc :i in the premium on gold as a commo-.I.iy8 to 1U per cent, bid and Pi asked, an, the engagement of J1.0"0,tc in gold for export to Europe today, also appeared to t i-plex the professional dealers who at 1 esent control the Block tape. Leather preferred was depressed 2v per cent, on rumors that the forthcoming dividend would be scaled or passed. This revived discouraging suggestions as to the adverse effect on the company's business to result from the Introduction of the velocitan process for tanning leather. Tobacco displayed marked strength throughout on reiterated rumors now quite familiar of an Impending compromise with the Independent manufacturers, involving an advance of a cent a pound in "Battle Axe" plug brand. Whatever the.merits of the reports may be, they occasioned a stampede of the shorts to cover, resulting in an i.dvance of 51: per cent., to Si, with the improvement mon marked in the tlnal hour. The buoyanVy of this specialty had a Ftrenpthening. influence on the general market late in the day, which was helped by a derided tendency toward ease in call money rates. Rcoveries from the low points were, accordingly, ranging from 1 to 18 per cent. In sugar, St. Paul. General Electric. Manhattan. New Jersey Central, Tennessee Coal, Leather preferred and Baltimore & Ohio. The closing was slightly more active and was firm in tone. Business in railway and miscellaneous securities was moderate, with lower prices luling. The sales aggregated $1.116.(XX). The recessions were headed by Baltimore & Ohio fives of 1923. which fell 10 per cent., to 99, and Baltimore Belt firsts, guaranteed, 97 per cent., to 94. Some substantial gains, were noted in other usually Inactive mortgages. There was a sharp recession in the bid quotations for the new fours, the last call showing a concession of V2 rer cent. The lives also sagged sharply, but improved a half per cent, on the final bid. Only Si.OM cf bonds were dealt in. In State mortgages ?3,000 Virginia deferred sixes, stamped, and 51,000 deferred centuries, changed hands at a slight Improvement in prices. The following table, prepared by James E. Berry, Room 16.

Bradstreet's New York stock .market review says: Early in the week Wall street was confirmed In its belief that the government woull issue $100,000,000 of 4-per-cent. bonds, to prcviJe gold for the treasury specie reserve. The announcement followed that the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. was forming a syndicate to subscribe for this ft mount, with the further privilege or obligation (as It may be . regarded) to take a fJr elementary issue of a like sum. It also transpired that the syndicate haa been la.rg.dy over-subscribed;-that foreign lnter-t-ts have taken part in the operation to an unknown amount, and that banks and institutions throughout the country, as well as la thi. city, have shown marked readiness to 'jrrender their gold holdings for a share In he new bonds. These developments have checked the depressing influences that efTectei the stock market, and caused a very ftrong undertone to assert Itself. The "street" is fully aware of the reasons for delay in making public announcement of the new bond Issue. It is fully appreciated that the Senate must be allowed an opportunity to act on the bond bill which passed the House of " Representatives last week. Tnere seems to be no doubt that the Senate finance committee, which U dominated by the silver men. will convert the bill into a free-silver coinage measure. The report of the committee, it 13 concluded, will be the signal for action by the administration In regard to. Issuing the bonis, and this may carry the operation over till next week. At the same time there is no evidence that the Morgan syndicate has made a definite contract with the treasury, and the price at which the bonds will be taken Is also unknown. London has not been an Important factor in this market. The unfavorable feeltnc toward American securities caused byt i

In most departments business Is slow, most merchants now taking an Inventory of their stock to see wfaere they stand at the beginning of 1S96.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: If public opinion can compel the Senate to listen to reason, is there not hope that Senator Sherman has discovered a simple remedy for the treasury gold famine? Secretary Carlisle claims that only gold bonds can be soli to advantage, yet thojgh the good faith of the government is pledged to pay coin bonds in the best money. Congress will not set the question at rest by making the bonis say what they mean, because some members are afraid .of being called gold bugs. Again, it is perfectly clear that the depletion of the treasury must go on as long as greenbacks and treasury notes must be redeemed In gold and reissued indefinitely, yet Congress is unw'lling to authorize the retirement of the greenbacks. Comes now John Sherman, aj he has in many former crises, with a simple resolution that provides for the maintenance of a gold reserve that will put the power of the treasury to redeem its notes beyond question, and skillfully-dodges the retirement bugbear by directing that notes, when redeemed, shall not be reissued, except in payment fcr gold coin or bullion. If the government pays gold for greenbacks upon demand, can even such financial weaklings as Senators Voorhees and Turpie fail to admit the justice of requiring gold for their reissue? By this plan speculators and gold exporters would be prevented from preying upon the treasury for their own profit, and any injurious reduction in the volume of currency wouli be provided against. It is to be hoped that the author's explanation of his resolution will convince the sound money men of both parties that here is a chance to do their country a great sendee. Even in the Senate there must be enough common sense and patriotism to convince a majority that something must be done, and done soon, to prevent these constantly recurring crises. There would be a, sort of sentimental satisfaction, also, in having Senator Sherman close his great financial career with a compromise measure that Fftould win per force the support of a reluctant majority.

WHEAT RULED HIGHER

WEAKNESS CHANGED TO STRENGTH OX GOOD IIUYIXG LATER. Other Markets All Helped by Wheat, Corn nnd Oats Advancing and ' Provisions 3Iaklns Gains. CHICAGO, Jan. 3. The markets were generally higher tday. Bull news was predominant, and wheat, after opening rather easy, soon strengthened and closed VQaO higher than yesterday. Corn and cats w.cre helped by wheat, the latter gaining U0!4c while provisions show substantial advances. Wheat ruled fairly active, and, while showing some tendency to weakness during the early part of the session, finally got stronger and sold up fully Uc. The indifferent cables and the continued uncertainty of a favorable solution of the financial problems now before the country were the early weak influences. But there was some good buying by prominent houses and the cold weather caused some, fear for the growing wheat in localities where it was not fully protected by snow; but such areas, it is said, are quite limited. The receipts are still running light everywhere, and the exports from the seaboard yesterday were over 500,000 bushels in wheat and flour, making over l,8uu,w0 bushels so far tnis week, and there were estimates of a very considerable decrease in the visiole next week. Cudany was an active and liberal buyer, and the trade generally began to look with mere lavor on tne buying side, and as there was not much selling pressure the price gradually went up and held fairly well. May sold early at oSc.up to 68v059c split, off to SS&isftc fPill then to ttfft&oaVio spilt, and eased out by noon to 59c. The market held steady during the last hour at d9'u59VsC. closing firm at 59UC Corn was slow, steady ana featureless. There was a light trade and the estimate for to-morrow is light, but the cold weather is in favor of some increase. May sold all day cl 27i&2Sc, closing at 273it28c split. Oats were very dull. The closing strength of wheat caused a desire among a few of tho shorts to go home even. That cJosed the market up firm at the best prices of the day and at 3-10c advance for the May deilvery - . , . . The day's run of hogs was again a disappointment to the bears, causing Increased disposition to cover their previous sales. The bulls were also more Inclined to -buy. Both parties began bidding against each other for the limited offerings. A lively advance resulted, and at the close pork was left with a gain of 20c for January and 17c for May. Lard stopped with a gain of .Uc and ribs .OTc. Estimates for to-morrow: Wheat, 77 cars; corn, 235 cars; oats, 116 cars; hogs, 15,000 head. . . Leading futures ranged as follows.

There have been heavy sales in California and Territory wools, and of nearly all the varities of foreign merinos. Coarse or carpet stock Is dull. The boom started at the end of last week. It was caused by manufacturers wishing to cover orders with purchase of material before any possible change in the tariff. Not for three years has there been so general demand from smaller mills. The last half of the week has been very quiet, but the advance is held. The sales of the week are: 7,365,000 lbs domestic and 2,331.(00 lbs foreign, against 3.037,000 lbs domestic and 1.525,000 lbs foreign last week and 1,99S,000 lbs domestic and 1,074,000 lb3 foreign for the same week last year.

THEY HAVE CONTROLLED PRICES IN PRINCIPAL 3IAUvDTS. Remarkable Business Depression After Summer Revival Dun & Co.'s and Brudstreet's Reports. XEW YORK, Jan. 3.-R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review of trade, which Issues to morrow, will say: The commercial failures during the complete year 1895 number 13,197, against 13,885 in 1894, but the aggregate of liabilities is slightly greater, $173,196,000, against $172,992,856, so that the average per failure is $13,124, against $12,458 In 1S94. The bright promise offered by a large decrease in the first quarter was followed by a small increase in the second and third quarters, and a large increase in the last quarter of the year. In that quarter also the deferred liabilities to each firm in business increased, and also the proportion of deferred liabilities to payments through clearing houses. Remarkable contrasts are shown this week in prices of materials and of manufactured products. Compared with Jan. L 18D5, prices of manufactured pro3ucts and of material rose for pig iron 73.1 per cent, at the highest point, but only 9.1 at the close, while manufactures of iron rose 53.7 at the highest point, and 23.3 at the close, anthracite coal rising, 15.3, but closing 5.6 lower than Jan. 1, 1893. Cotton rose 64.7 per cent, at the highest point, and 47.1 at the close, but cotton goods only 16.8 at the highest, and 14.5 at the close. Hides rose 75.5 at the highest point, and 13.0 at the close; leather 48.0 at the highest and 21.4 at the close, and boots and shoes 27.9 at the highest and 12.6 at the close. Wools rose 7.7 at the highest point and C.9 at the close, but woolen goods rose only oneeighth of 1 per cent, at the hlghtest point, closing a shade weaker. Silk, 14.3 at the highest point, and 10.7 at the close. The comparisons cast much light on the depression and Increase in failures during the last quarter. Produce markets have been the theaters of surprising changes which have influenced all business. The acreage of cotton was wisely restricted. In order to give producers a hotter chance for fair returns, and the crop was further reduced to some extent by injury, but growers were injured still more by frantic speculation, which checked exports, and by false Information and advice. Wheat producers suffered in like manner from wild speculation, which prevented the exporting of many million bushels, and false reports which encouraged farmers to keep back their grain until the cream 3iad been taken off the market by speculators. The inevitable consequence has been a very low range In prices, the yield being clearly in excess of all demands, while Atlantic Exports for the last five weeks, flour Included, have been 9,411,250 bushels, against 9,073.673 bushels last year. The great crop of corn has materially affected the prices of meats. Ilrndstreet's Review off Trade. XEW YORK, Jan. 2. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: The week which ended 1S93 and ushered in 1S96 has been very dull in mercantile circles as Is usual at this period. The volume of business has fallen away sharply, owing to the Xew Year's holiiay and to quiet In trade circles at a time when stock taking and preparing samples for commercial travelers are taking the attention of jobbers and commission houses. A slackening of activity in some of the important manufacturing lines is likewise noticeable and it is significant that telegrams from so many centers report mercantile collections slow or unsatisfactorv, the exception being at a few points in Southern States. Jobbers In leading lines at many centers are confident as to the outlook for trade in the near future, although, In instances, fears are expressed of an unfavorable effect, due to Inability to secure necessary legislation on financial questions. Exports of wheat (flour included as wheat) froni both coasts of the United States this week amount to 3,963,731 bushels, compared with 3,142,000 In the corresponding week last year, 3.190,000 in .the week two years ago, 3,008.000 three years ago, and as contrasted with 5,221,000 'bushels in the week four years ago. One week ago the total exports amounted to 3,473,000 bushels. Foreign shipments of -wheat this week, therefore, are larger than those of any previous week since that ending Sept 19, 3893. Exports of Indian corn this week, which amount n fsrtO Vmshfils- are excentlonallv havbeing larger than those for any previous week since that ending Feb. 21, 1892. As is usual at this season there Is a considerable increase In the number of business failures, the total reported being 403 this week, against 316 last week, 373 in the week one year ago, 480 two years ago and as compared with 213 In the week three years ego.

WAIVER OF HIS RIGHT

IMPORTANT RILING BY JlDGE IIAKEH IN A DAMAGE CASH. Accepting Money from the Irnn Irnnin Company' Volnntnry Bcllrf Funds Exrlndrs Legal Action. Yesterday Ju lge Baker overrule 1 the demurrer of Eugene Otis to tho answer of th Pennsylvania Railroad Company In a suit for damages for personal injury. Otis na.i injured while In the company's employ, an i sued for damages, claiming that it was the fault of the company on account of retaining a drunken employe. After the Injury Otis accepted J6G0 from the company's relief fund, which tho company. In Its answer, claimed operated as a bar to action for damages. In his opinion JuJge Baker says: "As a general proposition It is unquestionably true that a railroad company can not relievo itself from the responsibility tD an epoiye for an injury resulting from its own negligence, by any contract entered Into for that purpose before the happening of the injury, and if the contract under consideration Is of that character it must bo held to be invalid. "The plaintiff agreed that when an Injury happened to him he would then determine whether he would accept the benefits secured to him by the contract or waive them and retain his right of action for damages. He knew that if ho accepted tho benefits secured by the contract it would operate to releaso his right to the other s remedy." Jl'ST DEBT REPUDIATED. Frederick Sander, Jr., Pleads In fancy as n liar to a Contract. Mrs. M. A. Marsh, formerly employed asa clerk in Sanders Bros.' ice cream parlor on South Meridian street, brought suit to recover wages amounting to $19.50 due her while in their employ. Frederick Sanders, Jr., his father, Frederick Sanders, sr., and his two brothers, Henry C. and John, were made parties to the suit. She alleged the defendants were copartners. It seems Mrs. Marsh was employed by Frederick Sanders, Jr. On the witness stand he testified that he is sole proprietor of the place on South Meridian street, and that his father and brothers have no connection with the establishment. He also testified he is a minor and said It Is his intention to repudiate tho debt, although he admitted making a contract with Mrs. Marh, agreeing to pay her $3 a week. He said he supposed the amount she claimed was correct. John and Henry Sanders owned a milk deiot on Virginia avenue during the time the other store was in operation. Thy both denied having any interest in the Meridian-street store, and said it was owned and operated by their brother Frederick. It was shown that the elder Sanders had no Interest In the different enterprises of his sons and the case against htm was dism'tsud. The evidence showed Frederick Sanders kept tho store under the name' and style of Sanders Bros. Mrs. Marsh said she always understood that John and Henry were partners in tho business, that "Fred" had so stated to her. Frederick's two older brothers testified that they sold milk and other products to him, but that he always paid for them. They admitted that they knew he was running the stoie as Sanders Bros. One of them testified that he had loaned Frederick $100. but that it had been repaid. He said that it was not loaned for tho purpose of investment in the business. Justice Walpole rendered Judgment for the amount, $49.50, In favor of Mrs. Marsh against Henry C. and John Sanders. Ho said as Frederick had pleaded the statute of infancy, no Judgment could bo rendered against him. He thought his brothers, however, knew their brother" was conducting the business on their name and credit, and should be held liable for the legitimate debts incurred In the business.
