New York, December 6.-The Commer- cial-Advertisers London financial cable gram:
 The markets here were moderately active and cheerful today It is understood the present session of Parliament will author ize no new government loan, but merely vote supplementary estimate, leaving to the February session the exercise of fresh borrowing powers. A severe storm inter rupted cable communication with Paris which perhaps accounted for the steadiness of tintos New York meanwhile bought Anacondas. The American department was good all day. the activity being, how ever, mainly on orders from New York. Erie issues led buoyantly. but London did little, distrusting the rumor of buying in New York and Pennsylvania interests. The Bank of Bengal raised it's minimum discount rate from to 5 per cent.

BULLS AND BEARS J HOLD AN ARMISTTCE And the Cotton Market Was Left
 Alone All Day LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES In Early Afternon the Situation Was Frightened to Small Degree by
 Room Buying and Scatter
 ing Purchases.
LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES

New York, December GA mutual truce existed in today's cotton market between bulls and bears, while the speculative pub lie maintained it's attitude of inactivity. As influences at work were not of vital impor- tance and left no room for the formation of new conclusions, no effort was made by either side to dominate prices. which, ac- eordingly, followed a marrow rule.
 The market opened steady, with initial sales Showing an advance of points to a decline of l point. For a long time there was barely one point additional variation, and up to midday the market was sadly ne- glected by the trade in general. In early afternoon the situation was frightened a little by room buying and scattering pur- ehases for outside account, on which prices improved several points. Spirited trading, however, was at no time obtained and al- most all fluctuations were slow and desti- tute of special significance. The English cables sWere something of a standoff
 Very little business was contributed to the local market by the foreign contingent. The bull faction here was badly hampered by continued heavy receipts at nearly all points by reports to the effect that hold CTS of spot cotton south were yielding to demand from exporters for concessions.
 Pending receipts of next Mondays gov ernment crop estimate, local operators were disposed to follow defensive rateher than aggressive policy, and many devoted atten- tion to the settlement of struggling ac- counts. The clearances of export for the day far overstepped the local port re- ceipts. The market closed barely steady one point higher to two points lower.

New York, December 6.-London prices this morning were about one-half per cent. higher. Our market opened steady and higher and showed a disposition for fur ther advance, until a raid was made in Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, which caused a weaker feeling in the entire list. Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, after selling around 5.69 for an hour suddenly sold off to 67 after which 1t eased off be- low 65. Western holders realizing was giv- en out as the cause of the decline: it was also reported that the earnings were not up to expectation, the balance of the stocks sold off slightly while the grangers lost about one per cent. The next weak est feature was sugar which sold off from 128% to 125H, closing at 125h. Money ruled easy but the majority of brokers are real izing on any advance fearing tight mon ey market.
