authorities last June. His resolution was
as follows:

which have not been redeemed, to send
IN sworn statements OF the amounts due

tered in the appropriation BILL"

There was a slight reaction before the close, but the advance was renewed,
 making the closing active and strong at ! about the best The Gould railroads
 Manhattan, New York Central, Sugar, all prominent in the rally and the day closed with net gains except in few | instances.
 l The activity in the call loan market was reflected in the sharp drop in for | eign exchange, both sterling and conti-
 mental, which precluded all idea of gold exports for the, present. There was
 some apprehension of pressure for gold at Berlin this week, but money was re- ported easy there to-day and sterling
 exchange hardened in that market. Money was also easier in London, and further demand from Paris is not fear ed at present, as Paris bankers are
 again buying discounts in London. There were no deposits Of currency at the ub-treasury for transfer to the in
 terior day, but the speculative activ- ity continued in the grain and cotton
 markets. The sub treasury is also talk ing up large sums on the government surplus, which Is running large. It was very obvious, however, that anxiety over money on the part of spectators was much relieved.

 thy with stocks, but became irregular later. Wabash debentures gained near ly 3 per cent. Total sales, par value, $5, 1S5,0 900.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
As Reviewed by the House of Prince &
 Whitely

l
 l New York, Dec, 9.-The London mar
 ket offered little encouragement to the securities market this morning. It was weak and lower, and selling orders for
 European account amounted to nearly 10000 shares of various kinds. As for some days past in our market, every thing circled around the action of Anal gamated Copper stock, Weakly-mar- gined accounts in most every position were sold out, and almost from begin
 ming to end the market showed de- clining tendency, with considerable | weakness at times. Copper stocks held their own better than others, but in their steadiness did not influence the rest of the market. FF The unfavorable bank statement of Saturday, showing that some banks were actually below their legal surplus requirements had deterrent effect on those who otherwise might have espors- ed the long side of the account. Lon don closed weak for Americans and heavy for other denominations. For eign exchange, owing to the higher in- terest rates ruling here, was weak at 4S6A to 4.s7z. Money on call was per cent.
 Railway earnings continue large and east-b bound shipments show no abate- ment; in fact, most of the roads are taxed to their utmost capacity. Com mission house business shows very lit- tie increase as rule; still, 1t would
 seem to us, after the recent declines,
 that certain stocks bought judiciously
 would in the not distant future revert
 prof1tably to the investor as well as to
 the margined speculative buyer.
 Wheat opened easier on reports of
 rain and snow in the winter wheat sec
 tions, but the bullish sentiment still
 prevails, and near the close prices re-
 covered fully one-half cent from the lowest.
 Cotton opened strong. The market absorbed a great deal of long stuff we'll
 Naturally, some reactions took place, and should extent further, while, on the other hand, prices are not exorbitant and if good trade continues on any re- actions the market should be pur- chase again.
 The closing hour brought forth ru- mors of settlements of the copper war whether true or not we cannot guage: at any event, prices for the different securities advanced sharlpy and 1t seemed as if traders in general had talk en new courage from this move. All we can say is that on general observa- ton the demand for copper on improv ing conditions can't have gone to the bad entirely, and since copper proper ties are the recognized leaders for the time being, all other conditions being good we should not be surprised to see rally in the general market, Total sales 1,031,60
 We hear that Lawson bet 5000 to- day that Amalgamated Copper would sell at 80 before 65 and offers to buy the next dividend at the rate of 5A per an- mum.

MARKET LETTER
Of J. R. Mclean & Go.


 New York, Dec. 9.-As we predicted in our letter of Saturday the low prices on this bear raid were made early in to- days session when they started to cov- CT shorts, and there was decided rally with heavy buying continuing until the close. The strength of the steel stocks despite the weakness in others shows on what solid footing these particular securities now stand. It is highly pos sible that the sharp rallies which oc- cured to-day were too rapid to hod al- though present indications point toward further advances tomorrow, but with in few days there ought to be fair ly sharp reaction and when this comes you can increase your lines of stocks bought on to-day's break. We have now turned the corner and every indi- cation points towards the resumption of the bull market which bids fair to be more extensive than any we have had ill the past, not even excepting that of last winter.
 Sugar is being held very strong, and indications point toward a sharp ad- vance before there is any further de- cline. Amalgamated Copper is also iiedVIy UNeISOiu anu a Slill IuIll di- vance can be ooked for. We now par ticularly urge you to buy Wabash and Atchison common for big advances in the very near future.
 Chicago markets Renewed heavy buying by outside operators continued in all the grain pits and prices closed at practically the high points for the day. A fractional reaction, we now think to be in order, but do not look for any serious declines for some time to come, and advise buying on all weak spots.

THE STOCK MARKET,
Amalgamated Copper Rushed Ur
 Toward tho End.

Amnlgamated Copper Rushed Up Toward tho End.
 New York, Dec. 9.-There was a lively shaking out of speculative long &C., counts in stocks to-day, accompanied by threatening break in prices, which
 caused some alarm during the early hours of the day. In the afternoon
 there was a sudden about face in spec
 ulative sentiment and a scramble en-
 sued among the bears to cover their
 short contracts. Amalgamated Copper
 continued to maintain it's conspicuous
 position even with the increase in anil
 nation in the market to-day. The open
 ing sales carried the stock back 11s, to
 65, which was the low level of the day.
 The demand dropped off as often as the
 stock approached Saturdays level, al-
 though determined support was always
 offered as it approached 65. The bears
 became alarmed at the action of the
 stock, and in the last hour rushed the
 price up to n in their frantic bidding against each other. The final price was
 but shade lower. The support offered
 to copper at the opening break prompt ed supporting orders elsewhere in the market, and the market steadied mo- mentarlly, quite a list, of important stocks rising a fraction over Saturday. But, with a rise in the call loan rate to ' per cent, speculators took fright and unloaded stocks. Prices generally touched the low point of the day on this slump, although individual stocks were forced down under subsequent attack, carrying the whole market with them back to about the low level several times. st. Paul was notably weak and fell 2as under Saturday, Manhattan also was vigorously attacked and driven 2A under Saturday.
 There was good deal of calling of loans, but in seeking new accommoda- tions borrowers bid the rate LID upon themselves to a higher rate than was necessary, judging from subsequent de- The ruling rates were 6 per cent.t or even 5k per cent, and there seemed ample supply at that fig ure. The perception of this fact emerg- ed about the same time that Amalga- mated Copper commenced it's rally. From general level of point or more l below Saturdays prices the market be- gan to move upwards and gained mo- mentum.. }
