All Interest on South Water street was centered on the poultry market and dealers In this Mne were kept active the greater part of the day. There were only a few express arrivals on the market and all the folws were disposed of at outside prices.

Ridge Calling of loans by several banks adds to the depression, and it is predicted the heavy disbursements on Jan. 2 will make some very stringent days between now and them. Still we look for higher prices before New Years to discount easier conditions thereafter, and we doubt the excessive stringency, there Is not much encouragement to buy stocks on margin, iiowever, when the cost of carrying Is so heavy. After all is said it remains a traders market and no big money Is ii sight at present on either side. Sentiment is for the most part bearish which as a rule is a sign for higher prices. Don't touch sugar. Logan We continue to advise buying wheat on any good set-backs forced by local selling. White There was some disposition to scalp 'for profits on the advances, these sales checking the advances. Kartlett We see no weak spot in the situation and believe in much higher prices. Ware & Leland It is becoming moro apparent that the market congests very easily on May, hence we look for higher prices and favor buying on fair declines. Miller Good rail stocks are cheap and should be bought. Brown The banks have gained in Hub-treasury operations and in absence on unfa'orable news there should be more activity and an improvement today. Financial Bureau We would maintain a conservative position on the market until after the first of the year, but we would not neglect to buy good rails when they are reactionary. l'.ache Speculative opinion seems to favor higher prices after the January disbursements will have Veen completed. The banks would be in a stronger position than with money rates easier. EAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Hammond Lot 13, block ! subdivision Towle & addition, Charles W. Richard C. Caldwell...
