The Liverpool market Thursday morning opened about as due on futures, but the tendency afterward was toward a lower level, the elose being quiet 8 to 10*4 lower.

Sew York .Commercial; Buyers are ahd’ Ing greater Interest in lines of staples and ottous for the spring. They eorno to the conclusion that the rallL hold their sleeks. which are small, for full values and that there will be uo appreciable volume of goods thrown on the market as a result of cancellations. Tbo stand which the. mills have taken In denying the re quests lor indiscriminate cancellation has saved tho spring trade situation. Now it Is n case of taking tho goods ou the easiest terms that can he mude with tho mills. Most or tho manufacturers are willing to do anything In their power to help their pat rons and they are extending the delivery of goods weeks and In soinu cases months. Tills Is greatly relieving the position of jobber* and cutters who have asked for ex tensions. Roadmen for the commission houses and th*» Jobbers are again “booking orders for spring lines on staple cottons, woolen and worsted dross goods, and lines of linens, silks nnd white goods In Im ported grades. The fear of taking more looking to the spring as likely to prove a normal season. On cotton nnd woolen yams tho market Is quiet and there Is a lack of confidence ou the part of buyers In placing forward con tracts. They ore not dissatisfied with the present range of prlees, but stale that they do not feel Inclined to order further sup plies until their collections ou goods made up for their trade improve. The local job bing houses are doing a better store trade than they have for many days, nnd the visitors from out of town ar« Interested lu getting their goods shipped to them at once, nil lines of domestics ami on fancy cottons there Is also a larger volume of store busi ness than has been hooked since the early uurt of November. Tho mills of tho coun try are - adhering to their policy of con servatism, and. are curtailing In every de partment so ns to keep their production down to actual orders. SAME OF STOCK. Am. Ice ii Am.

Chicago Evening Post: Provision stocks at Chicago December 1 did not differ much from what was expected. The lard stock Is about one-fourth as much as a month ago and less than half as much as at the same time last year. Stocks of ribs are about 40 per cent of last month, nnd total cut meats neurlv ll.onb.ooy pounds less than at the close of October nnd about 9,000,000 pounds more than those of n year ago. By a vote of 2>4 to 156 the members of the Chlcag Board of Trade derided to amend the rules nnd make No. 3 white onts deliverable nt a penalty of 5**. They also adopted tho rule defining a carload on sales for future de livery, This makes a carload of oats l.-sw bushels, wheat, corn, rye nnd barley l.Ow bushels, flaxseed 650 hushes, timothy, Hun garian millet nnd clover 36,000 pounds. l\ A.

Higgins promptly denied yesterday s rumors that he was putting out u line of short wheat. He asserted that he had not made a trade in wheat or anything else ou the Chicago Board of Trade since he left for Europe Inst February. The provision registrar’s report of stocks in Chica'go at close of November shows about what the trade bad expected. The lard stock H now alxmt one-fourth as much ii month ago and less than half us much nt the same time last year.

The area of high pressure that was cen tered over Kansas nnd Missouri yesterday nmrulug has moved southeast, causing the coldest weather of the season over the east ern half of tho cotton belt. This morning freezing temperature ‘extends ns far south jim Jacksonville, Fla., and Mobile, Ain. At Atlanta tho temperature fell to 23 degrees early this morning. An area of low pres sure has developed In the extreme north west. now central in northern Montana. Its advance is'causing higher temperaturn lu that section and south ns far as northern Texas. Precipitation has occurred in the last 24 hours lu northeast Georgia ami The advance of tho high area will cause ntlnued fair weather In this section to- night and Friday, with rising temperature ul Increasing cloudiness during Friday.

One group, in other word*.

The true level of Northern Pacific nnd Great Northern preferred Is higher, an we have often said. Their trend Is still up ward. but a reaction will be seen soon.

Town Topics: While the bullish manipu lation may be carried hoiiio further, with •harp advnnees from time to time in Uulon fie. Reading, hutelters and other lead- It becomes apparent that the solo pur pose Is the distribution of stocks. At the same time It Is not likely that the effort* of the hastily formed bull pools to mark up their specialties will be encouraged.

New York, Dec. 5.—The failure of th* National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City caused a sharp reaetlen thl* morning In Wnll street. The failure had been expected for the Inst three-week*, nnd the only sur prise la regard to It was the long tune It has managed to keep open. In the last two week* its deposit* nave ln*en reduced from about $35,006,000 to $20,(Ws»,ono. It Is bellei - ■! that most of the deposits which have nuu•*<! the trouble have been withdrawn and that the closing of the Institution vf.l not menu any serious trouble. The hank * failure wilt Involve numerous country Institutions lu that 'region. London wit* firm lit the early trading to day. and the New York opening was fairly steady wt small decline*. Those stocks Which advanced most sharply showed the result of protU-tnklng today. Yfcbil stocks were Weak, chiefly because of the annotmee- nient by tlm General Electric Company that roil hi lay off several thousand workmen Saturday. Criticism by the Japanese ambassador of President Roosevelt wn< not relished by Wall street, and bear* attempted to sell the mnrket hern use of It. The bear* got little satisfaction, however. Cottou was slightly higher. Wheat was about %e a bushel lower. After mid-day the market wns remarkably strong, having established In prevlon* hours perhaps tin 7 * most striking advance of the past ten flays* Improvement. Attempts to ell short were inneli checked by Nupporting irders and aggressive bidding for storks.
