STOCKS iNp BONDS.

New York, Dec 9.-Today's short ses-
SION of the stock exchange was AN ami
mated one, due in great part to the con
tinued decentralization among some of the
Industrial stocks. The determined liqui-
dation manifest in American Sugar gave
the tome of the market from the OPEN
ing and soon spread contagion of weak
ness all through the Industrial list Open
ing sales of $500 shares ran the price
down from 146 to 14412, compared with
1473s last night The stock fell to 1921
before the appearance of the bank state
nent and the covering movement by the
bears which followed the publication raj
lied the price to above IA, together with
the whole market. The heavy offerings
Of American Sugar brought out by this
advance again decided the tome of the
whole market and broke prices through
out the list. The last sale of American
Sugar was at 1892, the lowest, at a net
decline of S1s. American Tobacco kept
the leader close company, especially in
the rate break. 1t sold at 103 and on
the next and last sale at 104, a net loss
of 51s. There We're wide breaches at
other points in the list of Specialties,
notably in Metropolitan Street Railway,
which fell an extreme 81 The Steel and
Iron stocks continued weak. bat were not
so vulnerable as they had been recently,
and they held the late rally better than
other Specialties. The railroad stocks
were relatively much firmer than the In
dustrials. The extreme declines reached
a point i'm only few of them. The late
rally brought prices of many railroads
above last night and net gains were saw
ed for a number of them. Bears had
commenced to cover before the appear
ance of the bank statement and their
buying became rather more urgent after
the statement, owing to the unexpected
ly small loss in cash, The general con-
yiction that the return was untrust-
worthy as an index of the real condition
of the banks helped to the final yielding
Of prices. The oltgo to tae Sub-Treas-
lul.y alone which is a matter OF record,
has amounted to nearly 100000 since
the Last return, whereas the statement
indicates only $2,675, 400 altogether That

New York, Dec. 9.-1ne cotton mar

lower to two points higher and ruled ir-
regular throughout the forenoon with
bulls and bears in favor by turns. THE
scope of early fluctuations were not broad
a mere two to three points. Speculation
was restricted chiefly to the settlement
of small accounts and placing larger in

clude estimated acreage this year by
States and the indicated yield of lint
cotton. Liverpool and New Orleans
bought lightly this mornings investors
and room bulls sold. There was nothing
in the regulation news to warrant a de-
cided move either way. The cables and
crop movement no more than met ex-
pectations, the Chronicles" review was
devoid of influence, and the situation
generally unchanged.
The market for futures closed firm at a
general rise of seven to ten points, hav-
ing advanced sharply at the close on a
sudden scare of room shorts.
