Bonds.
Financial

New York, December 20.-Commercial-- Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 A good volume of business was transact ed in the market here today, but the tone was weak, the failure of the Bank of En- gland to advance it's minimum discount rate being counteracted by the bank return which showed that 100000 pounds had gone into the interior. This suggested dearer money, which was the principal topic of conversation. Americans were distinctly active, but the fluctuations here in them were moderate. The New York opening caused only a half hours rally, the close here being at the lowest. Prices rallied, however, in the street. Northern Pacific were bought in influential quarters on repetition of the statement that the pre- ferred stock is to be converted into bonds. Illiois Central also was bought mainly for the reason apparent that it has been hitherto neglected. The failure of the bank to change the discount rate had a favora- ble effect on the exchanges and no uneasi- ness Is anticipated.

Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, December 20.-In specula- tive circles these times nothing seems cer- tain but the unforeseen. It was expected with great confidence Liverpool in response to our decline of yesterday would surely come this morning with a drop of several sixty-fourths, but on the contrary that market opened with a partial point ad- vance, and closed the day with gain of Il 12-8 This with better demand from abroad for spot cotton and increased in quiry from domestic nuts gave the mar ket firm tone and advancing throughout the entire session. Contracts opened with about six points advance and at the close had increased the gain, mak- ing advance of the day about 16 points as a stimulating influence estimated receipts for this port tomorrow 5000 to 60OO as against S300 same day last year-helped ma terially to sustain the markets firm tone. The weekly movement to be posted tomor- row will likely prove considerably below the anticipation of a few days ago. The general features of the day have ben ex- ceptionally bullish, bears are very timid and sellers scarce. It seems the long in terest hold with increasing confidence and at the moment events certainly conspire to assist the buying side. Crop movement is the present key to the situation and un- less it becomes relatively heavier as com pared to last year a still higher market may be anticipated.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
 THE STOCK MARKET  AFeW Stocks Were Rushed U D.
 ward at Times SOME HEAVY PROFIT TAKING The Day Ended With the Market More Generally Reactionary Than for Some Time Past Under a
 Flood of Selling.

New York December 20-The stock mar ket today did not vary materially in char acter from that which has prevailed for many days Except that some of the stocks which are rushed upwards, as well as some of those which yielded under the selling pressure to release profits were dif- market was the same. Some profit-taking was palpably on an enormous scale ana was not without effect on prices, but the inroadS made were not serious and the of ferings were easily absorbed, while this partial weakness in the market did not in the least impair the eager rush to buy stocks which showed any disposition to advance. The day ended with the market more generally reactionary than for some time past under the flood of selling to take profits in Northern Pacific and other stocks which ad shown the most aggressive strength during the day. The rush to sell Northern Pacific was caused by the pub lication in news bureau bulletin of the statement that a plan had been perfected for the voluntary retirement of the pre- ferred stock in January by exchange for general lien per cent. bonds, 130 per cent. of the bonds being given for the preferred stock. This statement was not vouched for by official authority, but it caused sudden drop in Northern Pacific. This movement in Northern Pacific was the ain feature of the market but there were various other important movements which seemed to have relation to 1t, including the Wisconsin Central stocks Pere Mar quette stocks. the Erie stocks and St. Paul. The street was full of rumors of plans for combinations looking to a new trans-conti- mental line and to the combination of in- terests in Northwestern territory. The gains in the group mentioned extended all 1he way from points up to 6A in North ern Pacific.
