At Newr York yesterday money on call was firm at 3(3 per cent.; last loan, 3 per cent.; ruling rate, Zi it cent. Prim mercantile paper, 4-ÜVs Pr cent. , Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business In barkers' bills at l.& for demand and at Ji.ÜlVtfrt.SlS for sixty days; posted rates, 4.fc2 and l. W; commercial bills, I.S0iWI.81. Silver certificates were 64'2'(w'.-,c; bar silver, 634c; Mexican dollars, 5üc. Bar silver was ZUlid an ounce la London. The history of the day's stock market does not materially differ from that of preceding days for a Ion; time. That is to say, selling to take profits came on the market In a flood, and the piofesslonal bt-ars. constantly watchful for the first sin of the reaction which they know mut Inevitably come, offered prices down to dislodge long stock. . Their efforts were defeated, as they had been on many previous occasions, by the supporting orders which came Into the stocks attacked, and the new points of strength which were confidently marshaled from among the stocks which have not yet enjoyed any considerable rise. The point wherein yesterday's market differed from those of recent Stock Exchange history was that the profit taking was renewed in force before the close, and the unsettled condition continued until trading ceased, prices at that time showing wide declines from the best, and In some cases being well below Tuesday iiight. There were no remaining points of strength to sustain the market in this late break, the ingenuity of the traders having apparently failed them, or theif Industry in seeking out new stocks Lying overcome by very weariness. Onco aaln the often recurring cry of a year-end rc.ucczc In the money market was raided in tho morning in connection with the opening attack on stocks. Loans made yesterday carry over until Monday, but this fact, coupled with the tar-en J requirements,' failed to create a rippie of trouble in the call loan market. Only at tha oi-enlng was 6 per cent, aked, nnd trie rate ueciined from that point. A strong bank tta cement seems asureu to-day. In view.uf the sains by the banks by reason of subtreaury operations tc the exteut of 2.iG.WJ, and an estimated am on the interior movement ot nearly. XJ,vm) more. The failure of the money market to harucn was the occasion of the strong rally frcm the opening break. In which People s tas, Brooklyn Transit and Sugar were forced down from lVj to A points. The striking feature of the buoyant market which prevailed curing the middle portion of the session was the inconsistency ot ttie strength and Ut-mand for special stocks. A rapid price movement in an inulvldual stock would be followto by a sharp reaction, while the simulative demaiia would shift hurriedly to other tiuaxtttrs. ltie list of stocks in which these operations occurred Includes many of the h.gngrade railroad stocks, as well as those known 1c Stock .Exchange parlance as cats and dogs. An Incident of the day was the rise In üt Paul above UurllnKton. Tnis supremacy was contested, the friends of Uurlington rallying tue stock again to above St. Paul, but the latter closed within a half ot the top and above Turlington. The ' late reaction in the market was unexplained by any special incident, and was evidently due merely to a general desire to convert paper profits securely Into canh. Standard Uli sold at Vx'&'ysli) a share. The' demand tor bonds- was not so conspicuous as on Thursday, but there were strong points m the market. Total sales at par value were l.ttS.mK).

On the wholesale streets business Is at a low etb, as U usual as the rear nears Its close. Prices carry a steal, firm tone on most articles, especially dry goods, leather, hardware and iron and eteel. On Commission low very fair prices prevail on good .fruits and vegetables. Receipts cf oranges are Increasing and lower prices are Indicated. Good apples bring very satisfactory price, and Irish potatoes rule firm at quotations. The weather has been favorable to shipping perishable articles, and this has helped matters materially. The provision market rules easier and eggs and butter are rot as firm as ten days ago. There seems to be a good demand for ducks and chickens, but for turkeys the demand has fallen off. Wholesale confectioners have. closed one of the best seasons In their history, and are still doing 'jmething. To-day undoubtedly will wind up the business of lW0,with most of the wholesale houses. The local grain market Is wlthcut new feature. Receipts are not reaching expectations as prices have been so eteady, of late, that farmera and shippers are disposed to holi their grain, at tlcipatir.g higher prices. Consequently, it Is thought by grain men that a break In tho market would tend t increase shipment.

SG'J0c. NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE WESTEHX ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL. CLl IIS OlKi AXIZED. Only Five Cities Selected So FarKansan City, Miniieapolis, Detroit, Louisville and Toledo. CHICAGO, Dec. SS. At a meeting held this afternoon and evcnlns In the Great Northern iotel, the Western Association of Professional Baseball Clubs was forme!. No officers were elected, this action being deferred until next Wednesday, when an adjourned meeting will be held In this city. The members of the association so far determined upon are Kansas City, Minneapolis. Detroit. Louisville and Toledo. Eight clubs in all will comprise the association, but those present at the meeting to-day declined to say what the three other cities would be, saying that they will be taken from a list of half a dozen places which had made application for membership. The names of these places were also kept secret, but it is known that among the number were Rockford, 111., St. Paul, Grand RapIds, Mich., and, If the American League drops either Buffalo or Indianapolis, the one dropped will certainly be taken. A constitution and by-laws were drawn up and adopted, and it was then decided to postpone the meeting for several days until opportunity had been given to look over the field and decide which cities of those that have made application for membership will prove the most desirable members. The management of the association will be under the patronage of the American League, as several of the magnates of that organization were present to lend their advice and support in the formation of the association. The presidents of the local organizations which are already In the organizations will be as follows: Kansas City, N. B. Carskadden; Minneapolis, Clarence Saulspaugh; Detroit, Thomas Navin; Toledo, Charles Stroebel. No announcerr. .,. vas made as to the president of the Louisville club, and when his name was called for It was announced that it would be divulged at a later date. All those present at the meeting to-day expressed themselves as more than pleased at the outlook for a successful season, and said that there would be no trouble In getting desirable member to complete the organization. It Is not a question of obtaining members, they claimed, but of selecting the most desirable from among those who have already made application for membership. War t Knnsns City. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Dec. 2S.-James II. Manning, the owner of last year's Kansas City team in the American League, has renewed his lease on Exposition Park in this city for five years, notwithstanding he is to manage the Washington team.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. It Receives the Approval of Illinois Teachers In State Convention. SPRINGFIELD, "ill.. Dec. CS. At the State Teachers Association, now in session In this city, leading representatives of the high school teachers of Illinois, acting In the high-school section, placed the seal of their approval upon the game of football, with proper supervision by high-school authorities, and under such regulation as shall insure the elimination of brutality. After a thorough discussion on the merits of high-school athletics the following resolution was unanimously adopted: 'Resolved, That It is the sense of this meeting that the evils that have accompanied football in our high schools are not inherent in the game Itself, but are the results of the imperfect understanding and execution of the proper requirements for Its supervision und control. "R esolved. That the game should be continued; that its merits receive more careful and intelligent direction from school authorities generally, that a committee of six be named to draft a plan for the better regulation and control of all intchigh-school athletic contests." The committee will formulate regulations to Ik submitted to the high schools for signing, and only those schools obligated to conform to these rules will be allowed to enter contests. The central feature of tho organization will be faculty control. Cliuln and Transit Needed. Minneatolls Tribune.

ALL HIGHER BUT CORN

GHAlNSroOK A SPI'ltT A KT 1-3 It MAN V HAYS OF Dl LLNESS. AVhcnt and Ont Gained. Corn Closing l iicliaiittcd Provisions Quirt, but Firm and a Little Higher. CHICAGO, Dec. S. Firm cable?, lljrhtrr receipts on-I a reduction In Argentine shipments caused a rally in w lit at to-day. May ch-w l 4c over yesterday. May corn closed unchanged and May oats 4c higher. Provisions, at the close, were 2liri 10c better in price. Save for a few moments at the ktart, the government ieiort, issued after closing yesterday, wasted Its bearbhness on the desert air. The general opinion lefore business began was that there would be imposing amounts of long stuff for tale consequent to the government's figures, and those who wanted to buy held off for a recession in prices May opened Kttlic lower at 72'i to 72S,c, nervously touched 72G72?4c, and then dropied to 72724c The unloading of wheat that had Leen expected failed to materialize. Th courre of the market thereafter developed the fact that it had been oversold. Rids fcr wheat served mostly to keep the r-r'ee an elusive fraction away until May ha 3 fully recovered. Even at the top price, 73473tic. offerings were only moderate, and the cloe was firm, c higher, at 734c. Local shorts did the greater part of the buying. They were influenced by firm Liverpool and Faris cables in i'.e face of the government report, by a falling off In Northwest receipts, and also by lighter Argentine shipments. Chicago receipts were 116 cars, one of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 22S cars, compared with 346 last week and 333 a year ago. The aggregate of Western receipts at primary points was 607,000 bu, against 443.0CO last year. Argentine shipments for the week were 434,000 bu, against 236.000 bu the previous week and 552.000 bu a year ago. Exporters reiorted 250 loads taken. Seaboard clearances. In wheat and flour, were euual to 258,000 bu. Corn was moderately active at the opening, but became dull and narrow later. The government reiort. estimating the season's production at 2,105,000,000 bu, was apparently against the bulls, but thero were many who thought these figures only commensurate with the vnatness of present day requirements. 1 The opening was easy, but the market steadied later on moderate country offerings and in sympathy with the wheat strength. May sold between 36o and 36ic, and closed unchanged at 364c Receipts were 443 cars, tnree or contract grade. . . While the government report ' on oats did not materially change prevailing Ideas, the mere fact that it was out cf the way produced a little life In the market, which not only ruled firm, but exhibited strength enough to pull itself out of the rut in which it has recently been plodding. May sold between 23Hc and 24c, and clcsed 4c higher at 23Tic Provisions were quiet, but firm, except for December lard, which lost its recent manipulative support nnd dropped off 5c. Moderate hog receipts, fair local buying, and the wheat strength were the main supporting factors. January jHirk sold between 112.071s and 812.20. nnd closed 10c higher at 112.20; January lard between Jfi.70 and 16.77 4. closing 24c tip at $0774. and January ribs between 16.224 and 16.30, with tho close 60 Improved at 16.30.
