Market Review.

BY ,rect wire to Louis 3. Colweil,
manager OF Price. Mccormick 81 Com
pany's branch office, s26 Middle street,
Portland, Me.
New York, January 1.-THE character
of the market remains practically un-
changed during the greater part of the
day the furries were the result Of the
operations Of traders, commission house
business being at standstill. The open
ing was fairly firm, prices being favor
ably affected by the receipt OF cables from
the other side showing that stocks had q
rising tendency. Subsequently some
heaviuess developed notably In the local
traction stocks, the cause assigned being
the appearance of no little liquidation In
Third avenue. There was NO definite
news In regard to tho properties, but
there was a good deal Of talk about the
floating dett, which 1t 10 said, now
amounts to about 8 6. 2t0.00 and there
were rumors that q new Issue OF Stock
was in contemplation In order to provide
for the debt. The earnings Of the oom-
many have not increased a. fast ~ nigh
nave heen expected, and there are other
usly stories In regard to the cost Of the
change OF the equipment from cable to
elestrioity.
The decline in Metropolitan seemed to
be due moro to short ceiling than any
thing else. Around 1863 considerable sup
port developed and q rally followed which
brought the price back to the original
level, Sugar was nervous all day, but on
the whole had Q good undertone ana
CLOSED at a moderate gain. Towards the
middle of the day advices were received
from London stating that oonsols had
had an advance since the opening OF
eleven pence and sixteen shillings. This
was taken as an indication that the war
office had some favorable news from
South Africa, and the whole market con-
sequently showed rising tendency.
There is no definite news but there is a
semi-offioial dispatch stating TINT cable
from General Butler has been received to
the effect that he now holds strong po-
ssslcn. 1Ae Sc believes that we snail
base saportant rass from South Africa

very little change; 1t oan be obtained on

rate Is 6 per cent and the collateral Is
