New york Stock Gossip.
Reported by HIS Holbert & Son: The
stock market has developed little of in
terest here today. phel feature in the
situation is the absence of the public
and the stock demand for stocks from
the business doing is so largely Of
manfpulative character, as in the in
stance of Manhattan and the group OF
Gould stocks. There is, however, awak-
ening interest in speculation by semi
professional people noticeable. and IN
certain directions they have, taken hold
of the market with considerable yfgor.
We hope that this time this renewal of
interest will induce more activity on the
part of the public. The removal of doubt
regarding the president s; message and
the more favorable prospects in regard
to the money market should induce this
better state of affairs

London Financial.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6-The Commercial
Advertisers London financial cablegram
says: Bear covering caused a further
all round rally in the stock market to-
day. American shares were idle al
though generally f1rIH. This firmness
was assisted by Secretary Cages report,
the cessation of gold shipments and the
recovery in copper to e5S the ton. The
Rio Tintos sympat hetically rose to 42s
on rumors that the An1algamated Copper
company had approached the leading
Calumet customers. Offering to supply
copper below Calumet, whatever the
prices of the later might be. Money
was inclined to be easy, although the
market paid 100000 to the bank, repre-
senting the final eonsel installment.
