STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec 21.-The market was
strong most of the day, particularly i'll
the late trading. Fractional gains were
general in the railways while the advan-
ces in number of specialties reached
considerable proportions. A curious eN-
ception to the general advance was mo-
ticed in stocks where dividends have
Just been declared, namely, New York
Central, Southern Preferred and Atchl-
son Preferred. In some quarters larger
dividends had been expected and in the
case of Southern Preferred and Atchi-
son Preferred. statement has been
looked forward TO that they could he
put on regular dividend basis instead
of disbursements from time to time as
the earnings warranted. 4 considerable
increase in it's quarterly surplus was re-
sponsible for New York Ccntral's rise
from the extreme low point The eff
forts of London traders to cover short
lines in Americans gave tone to the local
market early. This was particularly
the case in Baltimore and Ohio, which
advanced very buoyantly locally. There
were large purchases also for foreign
account of ST. Paul Most stocks un-
affected by special developments >or for
cign quotations were freely offered by
the traders, but this caused little more
than period of hestancy and a shad-
ing in railway quotations. Rumors that
the Chicago and Alton had been secured
in the interest of Union Pacific and
Baltimore resulted in the sharp rise in
all the securities mentioned. Federal
Steel stocks were bought confidently
by the same parties who have recently
been large purchasers. At the same
time they emphaticaly denied rumors
that Federal Steel was about to absorb
another large concern.
The Southwestern railroads were
very prominent in today's activity and
strength. notably Texas and Pacific.
The bond market showed rreguIarity
in spots, proft-taking being evident in
Atchison adjustments. Heavy purchaS-
es of Texas and Pacific DDS were made
late in the day, which carried them
above 80. The general market, not
withstanding the hesitancy uf some is
sues, displayed 4 very healthful under
tone. Total sales, S5,040,000.

New York. Dec. 21.-The spot demand

COTTON.
New York, Dec. 21.-Nery little spccu-
lative enthusiasm was manifested on the
Cotton Exchange to-day. On the con-
trary there was a growing disposition 20
get out of old ventures and prepare FOR
quiet holidays Influences bearing upon
the market were too conflicting to give
either side particular advantage, while
there was nothing in news at hand 10
stimulate an aggressive move either one
way or the other. Sentiment was adj
versely affected at the start by .diSap-
pointing set of Liverpool cables, Il more
favorable weather bulletin than had been
posted in some time and another heavy
movement The opening was steady with
prices unchanged to three points lower.
A number of the smaller longs be-
came uneasy and unloaded in a moder-
ate way. this selling being largely con-
fined to the January and March options.
A few scattered selling orders came to
hand from abroad and New Orleans but
taken{on the whole business through the
session was of a local origin. The lead
ing bulls were encouraged to make
stand by the appearance of a moderate
number of investment orders, Wall street
taking the larger portion Of the cot.
ton purchased. Notwithstanding the de-
preston above noted. the short contin-
gent proceeded with the utmost caution,
inasmuch as Fall River adgices reflected
further stiffening in New England
cloth markets and Southern dispatches
well sustained prices for spot cotton and
good business doing: while the ex
port movement continued to exceed pre-
dictions and prevented accumulation of
stocks at the ports. Attention was
given over largely to the crop movement
and weather prospects. In the after
noon there were half hearted spurts of
selling for the purpose of weakening
long cotton, and on the theory that the
recent course of the market had caused
an extensive accumulation of holdings
in the January, March and May deliv-
cries, and n corresponding decrease in the
short account. The market closed steady
unchanged to point lower.
