MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
tie Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Dec. 27.-The tone of trad
ing. today, was unsettled and at times
decidedly feverish. The strength of
specialties caused a strong opening and
upheld prices in the general market so
far as there was any movement. a
marked weakening in Sugar and a gen
eraf movement to realize due TO the
continued stiffness of money and !. to
some expressed apprehension Over the
threatening developments in the Far
East carried prices below last week s
level where they remained, in the case
of many leading stocks, until the close.
Today was a holiday in London and
there were no quotations for British
Console.
There We're some railroad stocks
which showed exceptional movement.
One of these was Chesapeake & Ohio
which was bought heavily by leading
bull operator and which was advanced
nearly a point. There was a consider
able calling of loans and the rate paid
to replace them ranged from 81 to Az
per cent. with the majority at 4 per
cent. There was a rise also in the rate
OF sterling exchange which precluding
the idea of any immediate further gold
imports.
In the final dealings there were some
sharp reactions in the specialities and
the coalers which wiped out all til
previous gains and in some cases lett
prices materially lower. Manhattan
was a notable exception, closing near
the top at net gain of rs. Net gains
and losses in the general list were
rather narrow and mixed.
The tons of the bond market was firm
and in some cases sharp gains We're
shown. Total sales, $780, 900. United
