 New York, December 19.-The market to- day moved irregularly and resulted in mixed changes in prices. The general mar ket had good undertone, but was devoid or interesting features. Little was done in the standard stocks and to industrials except Sugar, which broke nearly points and rallied fractionally The confirmation of the report that Secretary and Treasurer Searles would retire owing to ill health was used in pressing Sugar.
 Central Pacific was strong in anticipa- ton of reorganization plan which was expected to follow a settlement which the company may make with the government Southern Pacific, which would benefit in any developments in Central Pacific, rose points. Baltimore and Ohio stocks were affected fayorably by reports that the Bal timore and Ohio Southwestern plan of re- organization was well received abroad. Lake Erie and Western was progressively strong without new developments in the property becoming known. Metropolitan Street Railway gained points, after hav- ing been comparatively inactive and weak The revival of talk of underground rapid transit was probably the cause of weak ness in Manhattan. Prices were well held until the last hour when there was break In Atch'son and the Grangers' traders worked for decline on the theory that such movement was usual before the Christmas holidays. Active bulls pro- icSScu at the continuance or outside interest in market which was re- f1ected in the undue prominence of some of the minor stocks in the trading. Tennessee Coal and Iron became strong and moved up 2 points and the rest of the list sympa- thized in it's movement fractionally and the market left off firm. Operations in railway and miscellaneous securities were attended with the same aggressive show of strength, which has characterized the dealings for some time.
 Business, however, was somewhat below recent totals with a more general diver sion of interest in the securities not usually prominent. Total sales $5,310000 United States new As and the 3s advanced K in the bid price,

Jackson & Co.'S stock Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson & 60.
 New York, December 19.-While sentiment appeared to be slightly divided the opinion was practically universal that the Wander bilt dividends and the Atchison meeting would furnish bull ammunition Missouri Pacific was much talked of property for the reason that there were evidences of confident purchases for the account of the Gould interests. News from London was encouraging, reflectng strength in the American department. The rise in prices was attributed mainly to the execution of generous buying orders for New York &C., count. Early in the session Sugar secured berth on the toboggan. The decline was accompanied by the usual run of rumors although there was said to be absolutely nothing new in the situation There is said to have been organized a new pool in Leather preferred under the leadership of a prominent local trader. backed by Bos- ton capital. There is, however, no intima- tion as to how far it's operations will ex- tend, although it can be stated that the pool in a large measure represents the same interests who were identified with the pool which advanced the price last August.

Jackson & Co.'S Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson & Go.
 New York, December 19.-Cables were a weakening influence at opening of market today. Initial prices were at a decline of points manly. Soon after call values settled to a net loss of to points under foreign selling and light liquidation. A bad weather map and continued encouraging statements from New England cloth mar kets exerted a restraining influence over the bear element and but feeble efforts were made to rout the weaker longs. Spec ulation, however, was small in volume. Wall street was a fair buyer on the early decline and some of the smaller shorts covered, being disappointed by the failure of the market to go materially lower on character of the foreign news. The demand from the smaller shorts was supplied by the stronger bears, Liverpool representatives and scattetred selling orders from the south.

Cnttnn Letter

By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett Agent.
 Birmingham, December 19-The disposi- tion at Liverpool this morning favored lower prices and market for futures was F to point lower, with spots 1-32 lower.
 First call here was around about Satur- days closing with offerings on a larger scale than for some days. The offerings continued better than buyer and when ports showed liberal receipts considerable realizing followed The decline continued until last hour and but for large scale or
 ders to buy below market, prices would have sold lower. Late reports from south ern points show cooler and drizzling rains. This gave some stimulus to late trading, which was narrow. The majority of com mission houses are still bullish, but admit that it is conservative to look for some lower prices before holidays, providing the weather does not stop picking and hauling.

but digest shows cause of increase chief ly account of inability to get cars to move to seaboard. Export engagements were liberal and the sentiment favors higher prices. Corn also shows a slight increase in visible, but advances on good foreign buying, This cereal has many friends and talk of much higher prices are heard on all sides Provisions barely steady; packers disposed to sell. but not offering below the market.

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham, December 19.-The profess sional reactionst played himself to a standstill today. Everything after the open ing was favorable to his efforts. Sugar was weak and raided on reports of Searles' resignation and approaching holidays na- turally inclined spectators to profit taking, but after bringing about fractional de- clines the market hesitated and stocks be- came scarce This caused professionals to scamper to cover and friends of grangers, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Steel and other good stocks lifted prices, which resulted in good advances with Tennessee Coal and Iron the leader. Money showed some hard ening. closing at 3 per cent, but had no ef- feet on prices There may be some re- action. but in the face of big dividend dis bursements in January, no big break Is anticipated.

New York Cotton Market.

New York Cotton Market.
 New York, December 19.-The friends of cotton met with reverses today. Contrary to expectations futures at Liverpool were off quite sharply and spot further eased off 1-32d. while the crop movement showed surprising volume (taking into considera- tien the recent bad weather). The opening was barely steady with prices points lower to point higher.
 Except for an occasional slight rally on covering for profits by less confident shorts the tendency of prices was steadily down ward with light liquidation and selling for southern and foreign account prominent features. Some of the stronger bears di- rected their efforts against January, March and May deliveries which led in the decline. The late market was adversely influenced for another movement at both the ports and interior towns tomorrow and claims that the English market would open weak. Important drawbacks to the accumulation of heavy short interests were reports of continued strength and activity in southern spot markets, increased demand and ad- vancing prices in New England print cloth market, as we'll as the dry goods sfade generally, the official reports of wet weather pretty much over the entire cotton belt The bull faction derived some com fort from the fact that Wall street held firmly to recent purchases and bought quietly all through the decline.
 Reliable parties at Liverpool ascribed the weakness in that market to estimates for heavy receipts in the south. summary or dispatches from the south developed the fact that sentiment was bullishly inclined. largely on account of the feverishness or American spinners and exporters to secuse the medium grades of spot cotton, in some instances almost regardless of prices. The heavy purchases of the latter class of buy CTS promised to result in enormous clear ances which already have been of such pro- portions as to cause it considerable com ment. After a brief furry of activity at the close during which prices sagged, the mar ket finished the day steady in tone at net loss of to points.
