The fell influence OF the Hon. Thomas
S. Martin as a buss par excellence was
observed In full flower In the late Dem

the House Of Delegates. Thrce candi-
dates were in the field-M essrs. Lyons,
Whitehead and Sergeant. We quote
the Virginian-P Pilot of the LIST instant in
ills report of the proceedings:
Captain Dalton closed by saying
that he believed Mr.. Whitehcad's nom-
ination would strengthen the Demo-
cratic forces, and that he had it from
the mouth Of man as close TO Senator
Martin as he could be not to be the
Senator himself; that if the Senator
could name one OF the Norfolk dele
gates Mr.. Whitehead would be his
choice"
This convention. be 1t observed, was
a Martin convention. Ringing and
sonorous resolutions We're adopted in
culogy of the brilliant" junior Sena-
tor for his ability and energy. All
three of the candidates were publicly
committed to his support. The Hon. ~.
]. Dalton puts Mr.. Whitehead in nom
nation, and unctiously and enthusi-
astically declares, las one having au-
thority," as one authorized by him who
aye, as one authorized by the Hon.
Thos. S. himself, that the will of the
aforesaid Hon. Thos. S. is that the con-
vcntion choose for one of Its nominees
Mr. John Whitehead. In tho sequel,
the convention does choose Mr.. White
head.

REVIEW OF MARKETS.
FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
STOCKS, Monsy, Exchange Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions. Etc.

The change in prices to-day were
largely due TO operations by board-
room traders. The erratic fluctuations
in the market reflected the uncertain-
4 ty Of this class OF spectators. They
sold the market at the opening onSthe
lower prices for London. The substan-
tial character of the buying demand
which they met and the consequent re-
i fusal of the market to go down caused
them to turn to the long side. The
highly mcrcurfal spetialties were the
favorites i'll the dealings, and some of
them were bid up In q rather sensations
III manner. EE.
Metropolitan, Sugar and Brooklyn
Trans were the most conspicuous feat
ures of the market all day. The rise
In these was SO considerable as toh in
vito the real Zing of profits toward the
closing Of the day This caused the
market TO run of, at the cost of a large
part OF the earlier gains established.
The November statement of st. Paul S
earnings. showing the increase III gross
earnings more than wiped out, with a
resulting decrease in the net returns Of
over s73, 0O0 had n marked effect on the
railroad st, which declined sharply
thoroughly. The fall from the top level
in st. Paul was IS, and reached point
III u number OF other railroad stocks.
The consequence was a mixture of net
gains and losses, although the market
hardened in the final dealings on a de-
mand from the shorts 10 cover their
contracts. While the movement OF
prices was largely due to professional
manipulation, there was a good volume
ofSbusiness representing continuance
of substantial demand from outside
sources through commission houses.
The demand for small lots of stocks
continued in evidence, especially on any
recessions in prices.
There was no evidence of uneasiness
over The money situation, and no pres
sure to sell stocks. Although prices
were lower In London. there was no
evidence of any fear of distrust at that
point with the progress of the settle
ment. The money situation in New
York was easy.
The special pressure for funds from
Boston has relaxed and New York ex-
change at that centre rose to par. The
shipments of gold announced for Sat
urday had little effect on sentiment
owing to the feeling that forces are at
work to offset this drain.
Business in the bond market was on
a fairly large scale and prices adj
vanced, but there were enough eXcena
tons TO make the market Irregular.

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARyET


New York. Dec. 2S.-Bull speculation
was the feature of to-day's operations
on the Cotton Exchange. From ths
very opening shorts were nervous, the
news in general having depicted much
hrmer conditions than calculated upon.
While offerings even at an advance,
we're surprisingly light. Chief among
bullish influences were the English
cables and strong Southern spot mar
kets. Our market made a steady start,
with prices to points higher. Dur
ing the forenoon there was very little
departure from this level and trading
ola not reach imposing proportions.
early in the afternoon, however there
was decided change. the volume of
speculation and prices advancing rap
idly on vigorous buying by shorts and
aggressive action by bulls.
On the upturn New Orleans and other
Southern speculative centres sent sub
stantial buying orders, while IGuropc
bought the March and May option
eagerly.
Bear confidence was shaken by the
indications that receipts would further
dwindlo away and persistent rumors
mat foreign spinners were becoming
frightened by the meagre showing, OF
stocks in Liverpool. light supplies in
European mills and reliant attitude of
holders in this country.
Nearly all Southern markets reported
higher prices this afternoon, with bust
ness In spots at New Orleans the largest
IN months. The market closed firm at
Il ncs advance of to II points.
New York, Dec. 2S.-Cotton futures
