WALL STREET.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3. Saturday- twohour eession atarted with on usual activity In Steel commoa. Union Pacific aud Reading. Tba trading waa heavy. At tha outset, Etael ruled lower, rallied V. receded and at tbe end of the first honr wss about uncbangM from tha previous closing. Union Pacific and Reading followed the aame trend with somewhat wider price range but at ha end of tha hour atood and lower, respectively. Leblgb Valley aold down 1 In the Initial trading and later recovered tbe loaa; other iaauea followed tho general trend of tba market with limited transactions and within a narrower price range. Tbe business waa profeaalonal In tba extreme. The character of the dealings waa a mtxtnre of teatlng operations of tba maatara of manlpulrtiona aad tha erenlng-up of accounts over Souday aa well aa for tbe presidents message, to be analysed Monday. Tba prospect of an unfavorable bank statement waa conducive of selling operations. In conservative quartera it la believed tha technical condition of the market baa been greatly Improved by the elimination of weakly margined accounts and the extension of the bear position. The London market for American Iaauea waa ateady. leading stocks ruling VsO above parity. Although a continuation of tha pressure which haa been noted during tba laat week waa again In evidence during tba greater part of tha day'a eeeston, atfll tha selling wss not aa aggreeslve aa beret of ore and there wera In evidence algna of a desire on the part of certain factora to cover abort contracta and at tba aame tl me buying of a moeh better character than had been wltneaaed for some time waa In progress. The buying of Steal waa especially good In tba laat naif hear. The bank atatementa Issued after the close waa rather unsatisfactory, particularly aa In tba exhibit a of both tha actual condition of tha clearing house institutions and oatslde banks, a marked Increase in loana waa recorded, w bleb aeemad unnatural In view of tba drastic sailing which has taken place lately. The loaa of caab waa creator than anttclcated.

The latent phaae of tho railroad labor

altuation, It la believed, will serve to strengthen tba poattlon of tba carriers In their contention for moderate) freight rata Increases. In eonaarvatlTe ouartera the

feeling prevslls that basic conditions have

not improved to an extent tnai waoia warrant an upward movement In security prices. NEW YORK STOCKS. (By A. W. Tbomeon Co.) Open. High. Low. Cloan.

W. D. Straight Friday resumed negotiations with the Chinese government over the) proposed loan of $50,000,000 by an American ayndlcatc, according to a Pekln cable. Mr. Straight returned to Pekln Monday from a vlalt to New York, where be conferred with representatlvea of tho banking bouaea of J. P. Morgan A Co.. Kahn. Loeb A Co.. tbe National city bank and tbe First national bank Friday. He bad new terms to propose, suggesting participation of European flnanclera in the loan. Boersalner says: There are no public stocks to be bad, for the public has none, From the first of tba year to this moment outsiders have had about aa much affection for tba atock exchange aa they have for a peathouae; ao that tha alaughtei on the bourse la Internecine; between Olympian professlonsls, who had bought with tha intention of unloading later on, tha layman and tha Olympian who intended to buy of tbe buyora at a reduction of 50 per cent of the original coat. Lest laymen are made uncomfortable by what la doing on tba atock exchange the are reminded that the flurry la due not only to tbe technicalities of tbe market, but that tha drop in prices is seasonable Stocks usually decline a few weeks before yuletlde. In former breaks professional depressors have had hoatagea In tba public being firetty well loaded up on margin s and n a high rate money market. Both ol theae bear advettagea are now absent. Currently the situation on 'change la tlis butchery of gamesters by gamesters. Tho Union Pacific la In a position t await a favorable money market before bringing out a new bond laaue, which it now underatood to be under contemplation. Tha company baa a working capital of upward of $60,000,000 and if Investment deman da ahould ahow ao Improvement in tha next three months tho flotation of tbe naw bonds will probably be deferred until later in tba new year. Tha also of the bond laaue baa not been decided on. Wall street estimates make It from $40,000,000 to $60,000,000. -Tbe Grose earnings of Sears-Roebuck A Co. In November were $7,800,000. which la the largest monthly showing on record and an increase of about 20 par cent, compared with the same month lsst year. This exhibit does not suggest that tba agricultural communities of the country upon which tbe big mall order concern depeada for ita business are suffering from what so many persons choose to call a period of stagnation. The company's gross earnings for the fiscal year ending with the current month are expected to be between $63,000,000 and $65,000,000. PANAMA CANAL EXPENDITURES. "Expenditures on account of the purchase and construction of the Panama canal to date aggregate $220,708,000." aaya the December circular of tbe National city bank of New York. "Of this sum $S7.309.000 waa provided by bond sales, aud $133,399,000 haa been advanced from the general fund of the treasury, which is now entitled to reimbursement in that amount. This fact constantly auggeata a bond issue of some kind as a meana of replenishing tbe government's cash. Aa work on tbe canal progresses further inroads must be made into the treasury holdings. "Already thla fiscal year the genera) fund baa contributed $16,612,000 to canal expenditures. At this rate oyer $23,000,000 muat be provided for the remaining seven months of the year to end June 30, 1911. Where tbe money la to coma from is a problem. Tbe tariff act' of Aug. 5, 1909, contained authority to issue Panama bonds at a rata not exceeding 3 per cent- to the amount of $2O,5r.0O0. "Thla la the sum determined upon as necessary to effect reimbursement to the treasury for advances from the general revenues and to pay for the work remaining to be done before the canal 1s completed. These estimates, therefore, contemplate a further expenditure for construction alone of $156,601,000. How this sum la to be provided and when are questions which government officials must face." DUN'S REVIEW. NEW YORE. Dec. 3. R. O. Dun A Co. 'a Weekly Review of Trade aays: Business, while not aa larga as was anticipated a year ago, la. nevertheless, of fair proportlone and rests upon a basis of economic eoaditlone which in the main are satisfactory. The encouraging features are the unabated agricultural productiveness of the country, the absence of demoralising speculation, the lowneas of mercantile et cks, which contribute ao largely to the aotudaess of the situation, the conservatism of tbe banks aa the guardians ot the country's credits and the algna of increasing relaxation In the money market. A noteworthy development of the week waa the decision of the steel manufacturers to maintain prices, and. although new business la much below productive capacity, yet there la aa encouraging outlook for Improvement. Large shipments of dry goods for spring distribution is another encouraging indication, and the outlook in tbe shoe trade la described aa brighter. Reports from moat of the large dties, while not disguising the fact that the volume of traasactiona ia below normal, indicate Improvement and a generally hopeful feeling. Prices in the dry goods market are generally steady and there is a belief in some ?uarters that increased valuee will be orced by the high cost of raw material.

The Western Union Telegraph company has announced another innovation in telegraph service called the "special ocean mail service" designed to save time in foreign correspondence. A letter from San Francisco to London requires as much time across the continent as it does crossing the ocean. A New York merchant writing

must post his letter week before the mail

steamer from San Francisco or Vancouver sails. The Western Union has arranged for the use of its night letter and other telegraphis service in connection with outgoing ocean mails so that this week of transcontinental time may be

savea. its Aew lorn office win re

ceive telegrams from any part of the

country destined to European addresses and will forward them in a sealed specially addressed envelope by the first outgoing Atlantic steamship mail. The same plan will be followed in San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver for Trans-Pacific mails.

This will enable correspondents to

be dispatched from any point of the

United States for an ocean mail with

in a few hours of tbe sailing time. The only charge in addition to tbe usual telegraph tolls to the ocean mail post

will be five cents for postage. Tele

grams should bear the full mall address of the foreign correspondent for

whom they are intended and marked "Care Ocean Mali" New York, San Francisco, Seattle or Vancouver aa the case may be. No charge will be made for the address. '
