WALL STREET REVIEW
TONE or HOLIDAY DULL AND
Fully Half of the Day's Total Trans actions Were Confined to Four Stocks-AdvaD~.s Are
 Soon Lost.

NEW YORK; Dec Ie-The stock market took on the tone of holiday duilness and apa- actions were in four stocks. namely Amaiga- mated Copper, United States Steel preferred Pennsyiyania and Brooklyn Rapid Transit An some sympathetic respr- q. in the general list. but the advances were largely lost before the noon hour. The almost total lack of demand assert itself in spite of the very light pressure to sell stocks. Brooklyn Transit's rise seemed due to buying from the same sources as for some t,me e M but the approach of the opening to .ne East River was given as . reason for the demand of the stock on account of a prospect of increased traffic from that cause. Sugar. s hovence was supposed to be due to the immi- nence Of the passage Of the Cuban reciprocity Dill through the Senate. The market for cop per continues very active and the prices moved ifeguiarIy. The activity of the raw copper market in London was an influence on the stock. but the dealings were attributed to an organised speculative movement. The repres- dent, was not easily explained. The disturbed tendency of the money market which often be- comes apparent towards the close of the year moving freely toward New York from the west and the continued movement towards New Or leans is not sufficient to offset the inflow. The large receipt of gold and the incoming shipments still to be received before the turn of the year afford assurance of easy condi- tions of money for the small remaining period VI tho yS&Et OttST WHICH a n8Iur9l tnnuX Of funds to this centre is looked for The perusaI of the arguments of counsel in the Northern securities case as published today undoubted-

 NEW YORK, Dec I6.-Cotton futures fin the local market today opened steady in tone with first prices at an advance of points to q decline of ! point. The gains were sympa thetic with better English market advices than looked Tor. However, there appeared to be quite little pressure and at times the mar ket displayed sagging tendency as the day wore on. There was further liquidation for the account of certain bull interests and A number of shorts added to their lines How ever' at no time was the selling very aggres- sive. and subsequently there was a line of bull support which checked the downward course of the market Irregularity deceloprd later. but for the most part there was enough rtaf ility to the undertone to insure a large u Der e. longs. The trade was only moder- ately active and for the most part indicative of professional control. Spot prices were steady. There was a light demand and of- ferings were limited judging from the ad- vices from the South. The Ellison estimate had little effect on sentiment on this side in that the figures were rather difficult to un- derstand by many interests and hence not A few interests failed to analize them. The es- timated port receipts were 50, 900, against 43, 50 for the same day last year.

 NEW YORK, Dec. i6.-There was a better feeling in the early market on account of very good cables. Receipts were quite heavy. but nobody appeared to mind that except who were daily during that heavy movement alone won't snake out bulls at this time. After the holi- days it is expected that the receipts would be go small that the price would advance. It is quite evident that the loudest bear Is unwilling 10 sell at this price. although they continue to point at the larger movement. The fact is mat inc crop promises to be so small that mo- body ventures to sell and bulls are expecting that the ginner's report nexr month would be very bullish. although the amount ginned may so Tar exceed last year as to convey an erro- neous impression in the minds of those who fall to sec the difficulty between the receipts and the amount ginned. Early prices were better and shorts covered freely and before long prices hardened materially. It is South ern report came in that receipts would surely shrink before many days Cables were much better as the day wore and closed at s points advance.

 Comparatively firm cables and continued rainy weather in Argentina were the main factors in bringing out . fair general demand for May wheat early, May opening shade lower to shade higher at 9oH@6l. advancing to SI h @siM. Northwest receipts. however. were and Southwestern receipts also showed large gains. These features were responsible for a selling movement that carried May down to So1s9S0k.

 Although the advancing tendency in corn re- ceived a check from the early decline in wheat. 1t soon rallied and ruled firm through out the day. Small receipts and firm cables were partly responsible for the hrmness. The Iowa crop report was tho occasion of fair upturn in May. It showed a reduction of ST.
