New York, December 2O.-The stock
market continues TO be extremely
nervous. 1t opensd fairly steady in spite
of the sale OF SOME 10, 0o0 shares BY Lon
don houses the Gales being especially pro-
nounced In N. p. Atchison preferred and
st. Paul. The room. however. seemed to
be moderately buIlish, their favorites be-
ing the industrials ell of which showed
strength under the lead Of A. ). W. This
buying YVES based on rumors of a two
per cent dividend In January. Fer
time IL looked as II inside stock was com.
ing In around forty. but subsequently all
this stock was absorbed and IL had
further sharp advance to 43, the rect OF
the market following suit, but to issFer
extent. Another upward movement tcox
place on the announcement that the Ne"
York Central dividend had been increased
from one to one and one-fourth psr cent
an increase which the street had not
taken into account. During the afternoon
some rather severe declines took placs.
notably b. r. T., which sold some IL
points lower than yesterdays closing
The widest sort OF rumors were current
in regard to 1t some of which were as foi-
lows, That receiver had bsen APP
pointed; that Mr.. Anthony Brady's hold
ings were being thrown upon tine
market; that Henry Allen 81 Co.'S loans
were being liquidated etc., etc.
Whatever the reason vas the stock was
exceedingly weak for time, and al
though it enjoyed sharp rally before the
close. ssfinal quotations were considerably
below those of last night. When b. X.
Il. weakened the whole of the market
went off especially sugar, which sold at
Ill. In this stock sharp rally took place
but the loss was not entirely regained
The tact of the matter is 1t is impossible
to have a panic like we had on Monday
without o great many people being hurt.
No doubt assistance was rendered some
commission houses and some spsculators
on the understac ding that when the
worst OF the panic was over their ac-
counts should be liquidated. This liquida-
ton Is no doubt taxing place at present.
Money was not much OF factor, the
highest quotation WAS seven per cent and
1t Is said that it loaned as low AS three
per cent. the average Of the day was
probably between five and six.
The Nav York Central statement fer
the quarter ending September 3ist, was a
very favorable one. The surplus shows
an Increase of Sj37, $50 or about 81 per
ont, whilst for the SIX months ending
December 81, the increase amounts to ST.
GA, o3s or more than so per cent. 1t Is the
best showing ever made by the company.
The general market closed at good
,ally from the lowest of the day, but In
the mel ority of instances below the
highest of the day.
