New York. Dec. 16.-The stock market
took on typical tone of holiday dizziness
and apathy today Fully half the day :
meager transactions were in four stocks
Amalgamated Copper, United States Steel

specialties caused some sympathetic re-
spouse in the general list but the adj

of the day. The almost total stock of de-
mand for stocks allowed a downward ten

pressure TO sell stocks. Brooklyn Transts
rise seemed due to buying, from the same
sources as for some time. but the APP
proach of the opening to traffic of the new
bridge from New York across the East
River was given as a reason for the de
mand for the stock, on account of pros
pect OF increased traffic from that cause.
Sugars advance was supposedly due II
the eminence of the passage of the Cuban
bill through the Senate.
The market for Amagamatcd Copper
continued active and the price moved r.
regularly. The activity of the raw copper
market in London was an influence on the
stock. but the dealings were attributed
to an organized speculative movement
The sharp recovery in the STERLING eN-
change market was sufficient to put an
end to gold exports for the present The
demand for remittance is to cover inter
est and dividend obligations to foreign
security holders, and the holiday remit

for 1902-03, 4 per cent. Out OF the cXcep-
tional profits of 1901-02 the dividend dec
laration had been per cent; out OF the
late years profits the dividend, as just
stated, is to be 4 per cent. We say is
to be, because the dividends are not an

business is being conducted, the report

the fact that May sold at 1916 last week,
the market ruled decidedly firm. There
are no evidences of the next move in the
cotton market AS far as evidences go,
the market may advance or decline half
a cent per pound. Thus far honors are
all with holders, and it will require a
continuation of large receipts to bring
about a break in prices Still, every rea-
soning leads conservative trader to buy
on breaks only, and to take profits on
such advances as we have had recently.
There will be opportunities to buy back
the cotton. and it is advisable to take few
risks at this price.

Cotton Letter

Raleigh, n. c., Dec. 16.-There was no
change in the cotton situation today. The
same advance over 1880 as yesterday, and
the same decline later in the day 1t was
a good market to take profits on and one
that shorts found too strong to break.
Trading proved light This has been the
feature for three days now. Outside bus
ines has fallen off to merely nominal pro
portions and as long as this continues the
case. conditions are likely to favor the
seller, who takes profits on an advance
and runs the chance of getting his cotton
back. When the market advanced carly
today there was a lot of cotton for sale
owe" 1880 Tor May and this supplied the
demand in spite of the Liverpool advance.
Some cotton was taken by those who sold
recently and this helped the steadiness.
On the large receipts estimated at Hous-
ton and later on at Galveston and New
Orleans, there was some selling and May
reacted to 1916. But the tone showed re-
sistance to pressure and prices recovered
later on. At no time was there any weak
ness. In view Of the large movement and

one time showed net advance of -four

afternoon under further liquidation, after
which it ruled irregular, but was steadied
just before the close by demand chiefly
from Southern sources and finally was

Total sales for the day were only 15C

seem satisfied with scalping for small

higher than last years, and the estimates
for tomorrow's movement were heavy.
On the other hand exports were liberal
and the Southern spot markets were
steady at generally unchanged prices.
