STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec 23.-The advance in
the call money rate to-day and the
approach of the Christmas holiday
combined to prompt operators in stocks
to close up their accounts. The per-
sistence of the trading element in put
ting out short contracts has acted as a
sustaining influence on the market as
IL did to some extent to-day. No raid
ing tactics were apparent, and the de-
cline was rather gradual and In good
order. The days losses were quite
uniform I'm the active list, ranging
generally from to III. In the case of
stocks, where they were less or more
than this, there were special circum-
stances to account for the movements.
Sugar fell an extreme zA below last
night on account Of the reports from
Washington Of preparations 70 oppose
the Cuban treaty on the part Of an
element OF the beet sugar men. Re-
cent reports have held that the beet
sugar interests had been reconelled 10

speculation IN Sugar on this account

of the anthracite strike were consd-
cred more plausible reasons for the
strength of those stocks Louisville
made a spectacular squirt early in the
afternoon, and a quick decline, be-
cause the board room traders leaped
to a mistaken construction Of a report
OF a dividend on a Louisville street
railway company as applying to Louis
vile and Nashville. The stocks quick
decline renewed the heaviness in the
general market.
The advance in call money rates was
due in part to temporary causes, but
II had the effect of renewing fears Of
a severe squeeze in the money market
before the end Of the year. The pay
ment of 100000 Of subscriptions to
the Western Maryland syndicate fell
due to-day and necessitated some
shifting OF loans. Some large sums
were transferred to London by cable.
This movement Is said 10 be due TO

The general markets closed without
feature to-day, with trading in mod
crate volume in all the leading articles
offered daily on the exchanges. Cotton
was featureless on the hesitation
caused owing to the near approach of
two full holidays, which is always rea-
son for Withholding commitments by
the trade. There is still talk about
the final adjustment of January mat
ters by Mr.. Price, but aside from this
the market is without feature. The
port receipts showed an increase to-
day. being $1,000, against $4,000 last
wear. This was attributed to the Christ
NAV movement. An increase is always
looked for about this time from the
cotton turned loose by holders DESTROYS
of realizing funds for holiday purposes.
The naval stores markets closed firm.
Turpentine was firm at SIC, with a good
demand reported by a majority of fac
tors Resins were firm and in demand
at quotations. The position of both
spirits and resins is regarded as
strong at the moment, and the general
feeling among the trade is that prices
will continue to be maintained around
their present level. Moreover the tank
company has been buying considerable
of late and are pronounced bulls upon
all recessions. The wholesale mar
kets closed steady.
