There has been nothing better than . coster-
mongering market to-day. There were . certain
number of buyers sellers but neither one nor the
other aspired to anything above . retail business
There was no demonstration upon the part OF the
great dealers either to sell or to buy and - conse
auence the market was left to the manipulation OF
the smaller Spectators who become 5ublant over
the gain of "three-eighths per cent, but swear like
tho army in Flanders when they lose quarter.
An opportunity to do both was afforded to-day. Tho
market was strong at the opening and weak at the
close As compassed by the four walls OF the Board
room there reason why 1t should have been
either. Stocks strong ut the opening
and weak the ending. The falling on was
unnatural. however and by no means indicative OF
. continuous decline. On tho contrary. there ID NO
reason for change Of opinion that much msner
prices are expected to be made and will be msde
early in the year. Ninety-nine per cent OF IN"
speculative element believes that thas Will DO tno
case, and with largo q majority OF specu1asors
voting this way they are likely TO Dc mace 60 Tx
sept traders upon small margins the changes In to-
days market were Of little interest. Prices were
hipher in the morning and lower in the afternoon
but there was no particular reason why they should
have been either the other. Better prices
were made Nashville and Chattanooga. Sioux City
preferred. Erie and New Jersey Central but Later In
the day much Of the improvement was lost. Being
purely and simply - brokers' market. the changes
in it were more worthy OF popular
consideration than the run OF luck OF
blue chip player in faro bank BY
and by. when Congress may take some definite
action about the currency, the January disburse-
ments. in the shape Of dividends and interest may
ease up the money market to an unexpected extent.
something may be done to rescue stock speculation
from the rut into which it is just now settling.
Until that period arrives 1t is scarcely safo to antic
pate prevalence of anything better than an rregu
lar and feverish market. which may be strong one
day. Arm another and weak the next. At the Phila-
dslphia Exchange to-day the Northern Pnciics were
most dealt in the common stock selling at san and
the preferred 595z. Tho whole list fell off at the
end. and the market closed weak The final prices
