STOCK MARKET FEATURES

! AS Reported by Prince & Whitley.
/ New York, Jan. 1.-The new year opened
with continued good cheer and great nctlv-
ity in the stock market as well as in cot
ton and wheat. The advices from Europe
were a great stimulus to the respective
markets, and as trade developments In al
most all departments are of favorable ma
ture values are showing further enhance
ments in the raw products, as well as in
securities. Buying orders for the latter
for European account amounted to fully
10000 shares Of the internationally listed
stocks and this In turn stimulated home
buying. Reactions, owing to profit taking,
were only moderate and temporary. At
times it looks as IL the buying power were
inexhaustible, and the way large blocks at
advancing prices are being absorbed war
rants the belief that large capitalstic en-
terprises are still buyers, particularly of
grangers and Pacific stocks The opinion
prevails that after the heavy dividend pay
ments are distributed the money market,
which as yet is firm with call money ruling
at 6 per cent. will become easier and serve
as a further stimulus to the stock market.
The Industrial group made several attempts
at a rally, but so far they find little support
from the outside public; with the generally
favorable trade developments, however, we
think the meritorious ones will soon come
to the fore. American Sugar showed weak
ness, and rumor has it that parties manip-
ulatng the recent deal from Boston have
liquidated their holdings. London up to
the close displayed great strength for
Americans. Foreign exchange was firmer
with moderate activity, actual rates 4.S1&
and 4.S5Bda4. Wheat opened lower. but

fully lie higher than Mondays close, but
finally a reaction set In and prices at the
close were unchanged from Monday. We
fear there Is some manipulation in the mar
ket. Cotton developed greater strength,
with an advance In prices of nearly 20

large. Buying orders for stocks during
the last hour were not large enough to alb
sorb the offerings. Room traders as well
as professional operators were free sellers

quence. As a rule, however, prices tonight
show goodly gains over Mondays close.
