Rate-Ciosing Active and Easy.
New York, Dec. 30.-To-day's stock
market was largely matter of money
supplies. The symptoms were indubit-
able that these were scarce, the call
loan rate running up at one time to IL
per cent. The general rate for re-
newals was 10 per cent. There were a
number of other depressing factors
which reinforced this motive for selling
stocks, and the consequence was a
general declining tendency of prices
during the morning. Later in the day
the money rate became easier under
offerings by bankers among whom j.
P. Morgan and Company were con-
spicuous.
A very urgent demand developed Cor
Reading which caused an advance of
4 points in that stock at a new high
received price at each step of the adj
vance. The dimensions of the trading
in the stock were such as to show that
only the largest financial interests
could conduct II. The individual blocks
taken ran all the way from 1000 to
5000 shares. The general market
steadied under the influence of this
movement, but was singularly unre-

New York, Dec. 30.-Liverpool
opened higher as a result of our bet
ter closing on Saturday, but soon de-
clined below Saturdays closing prices
on the movement. Receipts are. GER
tainly larger than had been expected
by anyone, though they have little
effect upon the American market. At
S.20c for May a large amount of cotton
was taken by outside buyers on realiz-
ing by those who did not like the ac-
tion of Liverpool, and the heavy re-
ceipts. The sentiment is strongly on
the bull side in every market, and there
is no aggressive selling for a decline.
1t is generally believed that the
movement after the New Year will be
small and sustain the small crop views
which now prevail throughout the
trade. Upon this idea and its realiza-
ton will determine the course of
prices. So far at each event figures
there are large buying orders.

SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened quiet at 36hc, with sales of a.
and closed firm at 36Ac, with sales
of 2,4SS. Fair inquiry prevailed most
of the day. The hammering of buy

a view of getting the prices down to
about S6c, and some were bidding this.
Receipts were 44O, and the exports 49,

quiet and unchanged, with no sales
reported, and closed sc off on G and

IN the local spot market the demand
o,as light and reports were to the et-
foct that little trading was being done.
rho same was true of the f. o. b. mar
vet which was quiet owing to the
1ebt demand here, and the indisposi-
ton of the country to accept the prices
bid for cotton.
Business in wholesale dry goods has
been interrupted by holiday influences
and ytock taking among johbers, says
nuns Review. Cotton goods ruled
quiet, apart from the demand from
converters, which was on a liberal
scale Cotton mills are sold ahead for
several months as a rule, and there is
no urgency to make new contracts, es-
necially in view of the uncertain raw
material market. A limited export
trade is reported in brown cottons, but
prices are generally above the views
of foreign buyers.
During the day a number of the local
trade received Cotton Facts, a book
published yearly by Mr.. Alfred B..
Sbepperson of New York. 1t is a conn
pIete statistical reference book, and
one which is consulted frequently. Mr..
Shepperson estimates this cotton crop
at 10. 500 900 bales.

poor, and there was barely an aver

sponsive even in those stocks most
nearly allied in interest to Reading,
with the exception of New Jersey Gen.
trail, which made an advance of 57s~
on light transactions.
When Reading yielded to realizing
the general market which had been
held only steady, gave way again sud
denly and dropped to the lowest, the
industrials and Pacifics leading The
closing was active and easy. Many
rumors circulated to account for the
strength Of Reading. 1t was said that
a stock reimbursement was at hand.
Another report was that Pennsylvania
was buying for control. The failure of
confirmation of rumors caused
suspicion among professional traders
that the powerful demonstration in the
stock was designed for sentimental
effect on the general market to help
support prices, in accordance with the
efforts supposed to be making to that
end by great banking interests.
The urgent demand for money disap-
pointed expectations aroused by the
unexpected increase shown in banking
reserves by the bank statement on
Saturday and the large gain by the
banks indicated by to-day's return OF
sub-treasury operations, resulting from
the payment on Saturday for the re-
demption of block of s2,500.000 of
government bonds. Later in the day it
was explained that payments were be-
ing made for the $4,000, 900 of North
ern Pacific convertible bonds, the pro-
ceeds of which are to be used for the
retirement of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred stock. 1t was said that one
check of s34.00O,O00 had passed on ac-
count of the subscriptions. 1t has been
claimed hitherto that this operation
would be accomplished by transfer of
banking credits and without affecting
the money market. The furry in
money caused some fresh uneasiness
as to possible delay in the period of
relaxation after January 1. The reduc-
ton in the Calumet and Hecla division
and the closing down of the Anaconda
mine depressed Amalgamated Copper
sharply. Sugar was under renewed
pressure and showed the lack of recent
demand from short interest.

active and irregular. Total sales. par

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and I'M
changed, with the demand light and
little business being done. Receipts
were 7,S4S, against $3.50 last year, and
the ports got SO, 1923, against 1896 last
year. This had a dampening effect
upon the cotton markets generally,
most of which closed quiet and fea-
tureless. In the f. o. b. branch BUSH
ness was upon a moderate scale, with
the prevailing prices for the business
that was done S14 to s 5-16c for fully

included $. M. Brinsmade, Robert Sin clair and Mrs c. B. Nichols.
 The ladies' industrial department on the second floor was full to over flowing, and the
 EXHIBITS WE'RE RATHER SUPERIOR TO
 AYEAR AGO.
 THE BEE states this on the strength of the opinion of a number of well in formed ladies, who have followed this department critically year by year. Mrs Brinsmade and Mrs George Shel- ton were in charge, this year, and did their work well. The embroidery and drawn work was choice, the exhibitors including: Mrs B. L. Stone, Miss Ethel Beardsley, Mrs s. B. Wales and Mrs F. w. Wheeler. There were d number of very elaborate and hand some sofa pillows. The two which perhaps elicited the most adm ira tfon were made by Mrs F. A. Wheeler and Miss Nellie Wilson. The worked ging- ham sofa pillow was something out of the ordinary and very choice. There were large number of handsome mats and rugs, Mrs George Shelton having some extra fine work in this line. Mrs George Lee exhibited some embroider- ed center pieces which were declared to be works of art.
 In the Battenburg and Renaissance lace there was some choice work, the exhibitors including Miss Ethel Beardsley and Mrs c. M. Wales. The children's department was very full and contained some creditable and in- teresting exhibits.
 There was large variety of quilts, but some especially fine work on silk quilts was done by Mrs E. M. Boards ley. The little

 THE EXHIBIT OF VEGETABLES AND

 was surprisingly good for the year. The exhibit of potatoes surprised many. The management adopts the excellent plan of exhibiting potatoes and apples in half bushel lots. In the vegetable and fruit line Edwards s BeardSley rather carried off the prize with his Delaware, Early Rose, Sir Walter Raleigh, Ensign Bagley and Beauty of Hebron potatoes, and White Dent and Pride of North corn, pop- ping corn, White Egg and Yellow Rock turnips and other vegetables
 George s. Uawley exhibited Yellow Dent and Yellow Flint corn, four va rieties of popping corn and tomatoes and QuinccS.
 William Jones exhibited some very choice potatoes including Holten Rose, Early Rose, Delaware. Carmen No. 5, and Green Mountain. He also brought rye, corn and turnips.
