New York Market Gossip.

The following synopsis of the gossip in regard
to the leading features of the New York msrkef
was received by ID; r. Francis. Bro. & Co.:
New York, Dec. Is--London prices ca me lower
than our own. ard some cables spoke of the
money situation on the other side as being un-
settled and indicating an advance in the bank
rate on Thursday. The arbitrase brokers were
heavy sellers from the opening until afternoon:
the sales. which amounted to about 10000 shares
including all the active International stocks ex-
cept Southern railways.
The heavy London selling induced many room
traders to take aggressive position on the hear
side. and they offered most OF the active stocks
contirually throughout the day. The buying on
the decline was. however. considered good, as in
the case Of ST. Paul. in which nearly all the
selling was by room traders. and which was
bSaght In l.N0-share lots by Moore q Schiey and
E0useman & Co.. Bell & Co.. and Provost B-os.
Most OF the interest Of the Stock Exchange in
the late trading was centered in anticipation OF
developments at the Vanderbilt meetings to-mor-
row. II was current rumor that the Nickel Plate
first preferred will be retired and that formal
action will he taken in the matter tomorrow.
Brokers active in Sugar said that the stock MAS
bought early by Talbot ]. Taylor & Co. and
brokers for Sugar trade interests. The sharp adj
vance was apparently based on dispatches report
ing that the Arbuckle suits against the Woolson
Spice Company had been WITHDRAW n. There was
urgent covering Of shorts on the advance. and It

There was more interest taken in the market
for United Railways than anything else IN the
local security line. but the trading was no bet
ter than fair, tho total sales amounting TO $1,000

There were some few orders for Granite-Bi-
Metallic mining. but the market was weak. 100
shares selling at 81 30 and 800 at t2.siA. the lat
ter being hid ani 81 asked at the cioee. Lead
stocks were dull and more or less neglected.
There was nothing doing In local trust stocks
hut the few quotations made were In most cases
well up around the top.
Bank stocks were quiet and the only feature Of
the situation was the first quotation made on
Webster Bank stock Il sio5 bid.
A telegram received late et the Granite BIZ
Metallic Mining Company stated that In level 1900
south, cross cut, cas-. drift. there had been an
other strike Of 4 feet. running 10 ounces OF sill
