 New York, December 1.-The stock mar ket for the short session today was quite active. The dealings during the first hour were at higher range of prices but after this there was considerable liquidation and values broke off quite rapidly, sugar being the weakest feature selling off about per cent.

New York, December 1.-The cotton mar ket opened quiet and easy, with prices ? to points lower. the decline being more of a sympathetic move with Liverpool than the result of inherent weakness. The Eng Hsh cables were disappointing inasmuch as they indicated a net loss of 1 to points, whereas a slight gain had been expected in response to the last hours developments here last night. The usual private cables explained the heaviness abroad as due to the tremendous "amount brought into sight for the week. figures. These were 46.O00 bales, as compared with 372.0O0 last week and ,OOO last year, 1000 in 1898 and 505000 in 1897, as made up by Hester, and included month-end corrections and additions. The Chronicle named 406,000 bales.
 The local bulls were optimistic as con- cerns the course of prices in the near fu- ture, of small receipts present and prospec- tive and glowing accounts from Southern spot markets. The latter, from all outward signs, were yet-in the infancy of their strength, with buyers daily growing more alarmed by the scarcity of offerings.
 Following the call the market rallied on room support and abatement in the profit taking sales of commission interests. Eu- rope was a light buyer of the March and May contracts.
