sTOCKs AND nONDs.

New York. Dec 14.-Expectatlons OF
further stress of liquidation In the stock
market were not disappointing this morn
ing. Heavy offerings were thrown up on
the market from the outset, and the bears
were very bold and determined in offering
prices down. But It was obvious that
there was not so acute a pressure of me-
cessity upon the market to realize as was
the case yesterday, and several develops
ments over night helped 10 encourage a
support of prices. The market therefore.
did not at any time take ON the extreme
decentralization of yesterday as was fear
ed and about midway of the session the
bears had relinquished their position. The
conflict of speculative interests was a
fierce one before the issue was decided,
and prices moved both ways at once in the
opening market, and never long In one d.
recton.
The determined support In Sugar was q
notice to the bears from the outset that
they were not TO have things all their own
way. and though they wiped out Sugars
opening rise in short order and made
heavy inroads at other points in the In
dustrlal list, and even forced St. Paul q
u point below yesterdays low level for
the year. the absorpive power of the
steady buying demand proved too much
for the reactionist. Subsequent attacks
we're made upon the Iron and Steel stocks,
the New York city specialties, and, in
fact upon every stock where any infor-
nation could be had of heavy account
on the long side, with the hope OF wiping
out margins and forcing liquidations. The
success achieved must have been very
moderate. judging from the almost COM
plete recoyeries which were caused in
nearly all cases when the shorts began to
cover. 1t was noticeable. on the other
hand. that the buying demand died away
at the higher level Of prices achieved
This encouraged renewed efforts by the
bears up to the period Of the last reac-
ton, when they refrained from attacking
the market, and the closing was firm near
the top level at substantial net gains all
through the list
The outlook in the London money mar
ket continued to offer the keynote 10 the
speculative situation.
The treasury department offer 70 forego
the rebate hitherto demanded before an
ticipating the payment OF Jan / interest
had a sentimental effect in streng
the market. Then came the buoyant out
burst in The English market on the wide
~ disseminated rumor OF the relief OF
Ladysmith, and an alleged capture of the
Boefs. This served TO brighten the feel
ing IN London, and occasioned a heavy de-
mand for Americans Orders were cabled
TO New York long after the usual hours,
and Bondons total purchases for the day
were run up to $1,000 shares.

Speculation Apathetic, But the Mar
ket Was Peculiarly Firm.


New York, Dec. 4-Taken as a whole.
to-day's cotton market was peculiarly firm,
Notwithstanding apathetic speculation. An
irregular start was made owing to fears
among room bulls that the investment
public would continue it's liquidating pro-
cess, so prominent yesterday afternoon.
Initial sales showed decline Of points
on some positions. while others were
scaled upward 10 an advance of points
with the market barely steady In tone
1t was soon conclusively demonstrated
however. that commission house brokers
had almost no selling orders whatever,
while shorts were nervous inasmuch as the
crop movement was not keeping up with
predictions and the Liverpool market had
made practically no response 10 our de-
cline Of last night. Before midday an adj
vance OF several points had been estab-
lished and from that time on the ten
dency was steadily upward on feverish
demand from the bear side and fiurries OF
fresh buying, latter chiefly on Wall street
account.
Naturally the conflicting war rumors In
circulation and the erratc action of the
stock market created a feeling OF unrest.
But as a general thing the crowd In the
pit was friendly 20 higher prices Bullish
convictions were intensified BY the assur-
ance from leading markets IN the South
that holders Of spot cotton would not re-
treat from their position, some in fact
being disposed to raise prices i-lgc. The
