THE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.

There has been another dull week ON the

quoted by Albert p. Miller, Jr., show but
fractional variations in the bid and asked.
Mr.. Miller states that there has been n little
better inquiry for investments during the
week. and although the amount Of local So
curties that are offered is considerable,
the prices at which they have been held are
too high TO prove very tempting to the aver
age Investor. The Disbursements trat come
with the first Of the year, however will un-
doubtedly have the effect OF creating greater
demand For the giltaedged local securities and
n corresponding advance in prices will
necessarily follow.
At the present prices asked there are several
stocks on the local list that are good purchasA
ers and local investors who are lookiag for
bargains would do well to examine them, as
the value, will probably be much greater be.

THE coTrov AND DRAIN MARKrr.


Cotton opened off again this morning. The
decline at Liverpool. which was due to ex-
pected liberal receipts, was very disappointing
and greater than American traders had rea-
son TO expect. As the result, prices in this
city responded promptly and the decline was
OF decidedly marked character.
THE Beerbohm cables received by Sullivan,
Riley & Co. state that the London opening ON
floating cargoes Of wheat was firm, but there
were no offerings of corn off the coast. Wheat
on passage was firmly held. Corn was quiet.
Liverpool wheat was firm and corn was quiet.
March showed a decline Of 81, while May was
unchanged.
II was announced on tbeExchangs today that
John Collins a. Son, one Of the prominent
cotton houses, had failed.
Wheat kept its strength well during the
day, and the report of the visible supply did
little toward weakening il. This was:
Wheat, decrease, 2,02SOOO; corn, increase.
5000 oats, decrease, $4,000. Liverpool
closed steady, but conservative houses are ad-
vising traders to take profits in this bulge and
wait for the reaction. Paris was higher to-
day, Antwerp unchanged and Berlin lower.
Cotton kept very he avy and the most con-
servative advice is 10 wait for the market to
settle down and then buy.
