New York, Dec. 22.-There was moth
ing in to-day's stock market to refute
the opinion generally held in Wall stree,
that speculation In securities will con-
tinue dull until after the first of the
year and OF the release OF some of
the funds at present locked up in large
{ financial operations. Sagging prices
are generally the accompaniment of
such a market, but there was sufficient
strength in special stocks, due to spe-
cial causes to-day to act us a sustain
ing force on. the general list. and net
gains are the rule in consequence The
marked features in the trading and the
centres OF great strength were the local
traction companies. The motives for
the buying of these stocks were the
reports of business compromise be-
tween the Metropolitan and the Third
avenue companies, and belief that
the chances were not good for the
success for the underground rapid
TRANSIT schemes Third avenue was

aSgressively strong and showed gains

ing issues being especially prominent

dended dividend on Readings first pre-
ferred stock. which influenced the trad
ing. The Industrial specialties gene
rally show net gains OF qulfc large
fractions. The statements OF estimated
earnings for the last quarter Of the
year of the several Vanderbilt railroads
were viewed unfavorably and acted as
something OF q drag on thc railroad
