This Is rather h",p.r than expected, and leaves the surplus item nearly 11,000,000 better ..ff th™ at the end of last year. The main ref son for the sharp decline In stocks was found, no doubt, in the disquieting 25JS?k*. a 0 / J nore hou ‘ ,efl In trouble* which gained some color from the usual fact that aome large sums "f money were borrowed on the floor ,'t the exchange, when ordinarily there Is no “money crowd" of a Saturdsv Whether this was the entire cause or not, tho decline went on steadily fu tile entire session, converging more particularly on Reading. Union Pacific and St, Paul, but bearing down to a greater or less extent the entire n«t Liquidation outside of these stocks was not heavy, but there was mti- support and prices ended at the bot. tom. The market for the first hour «•, unsettled and irregular, with trmnv cross movements In' prices, the result of closing out of contracts on both the long and short side, natural with the end of the year. There was no special news to account for the reaction In Reading. Government bonds unchanged; other bonds steady. NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

There has been some very good hurlns going on lately in Pennsylvania, Baltimore nml Ohio, New York Central. Louisville flo*' Nashville. Coppct nnd Steel common, the Inst three on dividend prospects, and suggest that these Issues may he bought with comparative safety on any moderate *4>t-l>nek. though we do unt expect the mar ket to right Itself In preparation for a pro longed advance for the next few week*. There Is also an Increasing belief that ei- pectatlona of much easier condition* follow ing the Jnnunry disbursements may «o» realized that bullish Interest* nre predict- lug.
