New ORLEANS. La, Dec. 26.-At-
wood, Violet s. Co. say:
Futures-Thsre were large tenders in
New York to-day, causing a heavy de-
cline in January. There were also ten
uers here, causing several points loss.
Both markets recovered, however, and
the close was at Yesterdays price. LIv-
erpool will not open until Monday.
There is but little to be SAID about q
holiday market. Receipts to-day and
yesterday were light, as they always are
at this time, IN addition to which the
severe storms in the East has interfered
with the movement at Northern sea-
ports. 1t is waiting market ut the mo-
ment.
We anticipate large receipts next week.
Port receipts for the week 81 200, against
25 400 last year. Port stocks 500 ,64S,
against 759, 1913. The interior movement
promises very large, but the totals have
not yet been posted. 1t is noticeable,
however, that the rate of increase at in
terror towns and the series of supply is
greater than at the ports.
f. o. b.-No Offering, no business.
Sales 500 bales.
Spo;s-Offsrings OF worse style than at
any time this season. Sales 1000 bales.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-To-day, as
usual upon the day after Christmas, the
stock market wac extremely dull, though
its record of transactions fairly sur
passed those of Wednesday. This was
displayed 10 the bear attacks upon Union
Pacific and Atehisou, and III the last
named two,stocks almost all of feature
in the market was concentrated. Con-
sldering the pressure By the bears upon
these TWO stocks and others, the gen.
eral list displayed q fairly strong UNDER
tone. The bears have had points out to
sell Union acItc for some time, and to
day they proceeded to make their points
good, and while there was suspicion
that some long stock was coming out
aud there was an order to buy about
5000 shares executed, until which time
there was little progress made in down.
ward direction.
Later, however, it was depressed to
403d, a loss OF per cent since Wednes-
day evening. Atchison at the same
time was forced of by the same tactics
over per cont. The general list opened
at about Wednesdays figures. Late in |
the day there was covering movement |
on the part of the trading element, which
had the effect of causing q partial re-
covery Of early losses. The close was
dull but firm, though generally at some-
thing under dual prices of Wednesday.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds entirely neglected. s.s4
