 TaIbott & Paimpr's stock Letter
 By Private Wire from the New fork Sun
 New York, December 7.-iNo material inn portance in ehe stock market today. In the main 1t was heavy as a result of the scattering liquda ton that appeared in va rious quarters, but for the most part the trading throughout the day was for pro- fessional account. The movement in the general railway list today were again cir cumscribed, comparatively firm features there were New York Central. Southern preferred and Chesapeake & Ohio The crangers and Pacfics shares were rather heavy. The industrial quarter continued under substantial pressure, notably in American Tobacco, Continental Tobacco and the steel industrials. Other weak fea- lures were F. O., B. R. ., and P. NJ, and the occasional rallies that appeared in these stocks seemed to result wholly from closing out of short contracts. Western Union was rather more active than for some time and reflected the pressure that has appeared of late at the approach of each quarterly dividend declaration. The decline in Pacific Mail was probably induc- ed by the publication of the company's s earnings which compare very unfavora ply with last years receipts. Aside from that instance, there was virtually nothing of importance for the movements in particu- lar stocks,
