Financial

9 New York, December 15.-The Commer- cia1-Advertiser's London financial cable gram says:
 There was absolutely Saturday quiet on fhe stock market, although the American department almost monopolized interest and the trading. The loss in South Africa of 750 men, bad as the news was, was offset by the report that Dewet was being closely followed. American stocks were very buoy ant. Professional traders here responded readily to New York's lead and prices higher. Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul was the feature of the market, the reports of an arrangement between the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern roads, be- ing accepted. There was profit-taking in the Erie issues, but free buying here of the Atchison shares, Pacific shares, Baltimore and Ohio and Louisville carried the day, and the trading continued to be animated dn the street market. after the exchange closed. This is very unusual on Saturday. Big buying occurred in Grand Trunk shares in sympathy with the American depart snent. There was one order for 100000 shares of the first preferred.
 Money was very firm on the continued ease of foreign exchanges. The apprehen- sion of a bad bank statement in New York was relieved by the announcement that the bankers who arranged the Pennsylvania Coal Company deal were releasing the pur- chase money.

BULLISH SPIRIT
 HAS BEEN REVIVED Conviction Gained Ground That Outburst Was Significant MONEY PINCH NOT FEARED Market for Railroad Bonds Has Been Active and Broad During the Week and Prices Are Higher On the
 Average.
MONEY PINCH NOT FEARED

New York, December 15.-A conviction gained ground over night that the specula- tive outburst, involving as it did high grade railroad stocks had more significance than the apparent imminent relief to the money market on the forthcoming enormous dis bursements by the government and corpor5 ate interests.
 The street having in mind the successful deal in the anthracite coal industry was inclined to regard with some 'credence the various rumors afloat as to the absorption or representation in governing boards of railroads having favorable geographical locations. This policy for a community of interests is expected to bring about more stable, economic conditions and reduce to a minimum the possibility of rate wars. As far as the rank and file of spectators were concerned the expectation that the much heralded pinch in money rates would not be realized was sufficient to revive the bullish spirit which has been domnent for sometime on this account Londons re- sponse to our buoyant close of yesterday was encourageing and during the course of the day the foreign market bought about 75.00O shares. At the opening pronounced advances were made in various stocks but depression was noted in others and it was not until after the publication of tho bank statement that the advance assumed any violence.
 The settlement showed an increase in surplus reserves of $624, ,250 owing to reduc- ton in deposit liabilities of $1S376, 500 and a smaller decrease in cash than had been looked for say $3,960 300. A decrease in loans of 300 was somewhat inex- plicable, but may have been due in part to calling of loans early in the week This showing was regarded with favor, and the market became very animated and broad.
 The market for railroad bonds has been active and broad during the week and prices are higher on the average. United States new 2s advanced 4 and 3s F per cent over the call price of a week.

New Orleans, December 15.-On our yes- terday's advices We expected rather firm CT Liverpool market, but that market closed only to 3-64d up, with spot sales of 5000 bales, 1-32d higher, 13-32d for mid ding. January here opened at 9.2S.s against 9.3l99.32 last night, but a quick improve ment followed, advancing the price to {. .45, at which a good deal of realizing was in- dulged in, which carried prices back F points. January closes at 9.33@9. 34 and May 9.2l@9.22, the latter month being the weakest. Spots were quoted very firm and unchanged at 9%c; sales 1200 bales on the spot and 145O to arrive. The action of the New York market shows clearly that the near months there are in the hands of ma nipulators, and the advance during the last few days was caused by covering of a large December and especially a January short interest. December in New York closes at 9.77, January at 9.61Q9.62, while

March Is quoted at 9. 42 and May at 9.32 The New York shorts had good reason to be scared, as the contracts seem to be in the hands of large export houses and there is only small stock availible for delivery. Now that the December and January op- tons are getting high enough to attract cotton, we think that the manipulation is nearing it's end, and we expect to see the market ease off. In no case would we ad- wise purchases for the time being except on good breaks, as the large movement will no doubt make itself felt and the spot bus mess will remain small nearing the Christi mas holidays.

COTTON MARKET

SOUTH BOUGHT GENEROUSLY Y

New York, December 15-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices 10 points lower in sympathy with an unexpected re- action in Liverpool following a full re- sponse by that market to our advance of late yesterday Sellers were scarce on the call and almost immediately following the start shorts nervously bid for a large line of January and March. Winter houses took this as a cue that the market would ad- vance should real support of investment make up develop and were soon actively leading up the list in general. Before the end of the first hour the market had not only regained opening loss, but was sev- eral points above the close of last night and surprisingly firm in tone. The January option was strong and relatively higher than the rest of the list.
 Heavy receipts at the ports failed to in any way check the early buying movement which spread to all branches of the trade. The Southern and foreign contingents were generous buyers after the course of the market became positively determined. Wall street was inclined to hold aloof for time, but later became closely identified with the bull movement Trading was slow around the opening, but quite active during the last hours. Profit-taking did not ma terially retard the upward trend of values. Profit-taking caused sharp reaction near the close. The market closed barely steady with prices net to points higher.
