"It la thi* condition that has war ranted a foreign government in mak ing tentative overture* for a big loan here. Th* borrower ia supposed to b» Russia. The representative* of that country were negotiating with I’rnifil banker* sometime ago for a large sum. but the transaction was not conclud ed.’* New York, Dec. 17.—Emissaries of Russia have made a careful aurvey of the situation In thl* rlty and have aounded nearly all the leading con cerns. Their buslnraa baa been con ducted quietly, and *o far nothing seems to show that their overtures have met with time hencouragetnent. Jacob H. Schlff. of Kuhn. Loeb te CO., when shown the statement of Mr. Eckels, said: "I understood that about two or three weeks ago several Arms in this city, including my own. were sound ed by persons who claimed to be act ing for t lie Russian government as to the feasibility of floating a Russian 3 per cent or 3 1-2 pre cent loan. 1 d» not think such a negotiation fea sible In the United States.” Henry Speyer refused to make auy comment on Mr. Eckels* statement. An effort was made to see J. Pierre pont Morgan and other financiers to night, but they could not be found.

Dec. 17.—The market to day t peued fii m with a rise of a point in Union Pacific. !.ater the irregulari ty in Iciukm, <vh!ch had been ignored in the initial trading, was an Inilttcnce locally. There was a sharp break in the Vanderbilts’ Lake Shore, losing 8. and New York and Canada Southern over 1 poirt. Local traction shares were off sharply, especially Metropoli tan and Manhattan. Missouri Pacifle also weakened decidedly. There was ccnsidoable strength in other spots. Southern Paciflc. Central Pacific, Den ver prc'trred and Pittsburg. Cincinnati Chkato and St. Louis shares showing firmness. In tlje second hour the down ward movement was rather eunitnrra. In the final dealings, however, an im proved tone set in. in which Baltimore and Ob;o and Lake Eric and Western stocks recorded substantial adrvuuces. Tisc average declines were less than 1 per ctrt. The bank statement, which was moro favorable than was expected, was later than usual in making its appearance, but Us Influence helped the closing rally. Expect Tuesday a lot of handsome Chiffoniers, Dressers and washstands. Thomas -& Barton,
