Baxter 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, December 23.-Disinclination and in many respects decided fear to sell at last before the month of January leaves the bulls masters of the situation Proht-taking may unsettle prices occa- sionally but everybody expects 1t to be followed by rapid recovery, with prices carried above the previous record. Re- cognition of crop shortage is now uni- versal. The export element who are us- ually the last to yield are taking too much cotton at top prices to lead to any other conclusion than that they are not looking to the present yield as one that will leave them in very comfortable position. Receipts, 1t Is true are run ming very full. but already there are signs Of falling off and three days de- crease would send prices to much high CT level, despite the phenomenal rise all ready established. First prices today showed a fair advance and shorts were still covering on a fair scale All ports estimated at twenty-three thousand bales less than last year. Cables closed steady at 23 points advance.

NOTHING DOING IN THE STOCK MARKET Circulation is Confined to Ex-
 change Body Itself LAKE SHORE INTERESTING Notice of Advance In semi-AnnuaI Dividend Moves Other vanderbilts
 and Has Mild Tonic Effect
 on General List.

New York, December 2S-The stock market for the most part continues in state of Information. Practically all of i the circulation in today's market was within the stock exchange body itself, without any perceptible share from out side sources. The features of the day was the increase announced in the Lake Shore semi-annual dividend from 3lk to per cent. The other Vanderbilts re- sponded to this news and it had mild ! tonic effect on the general market. The three point drop in Lake Erie and Vest frn was a marked exception among the tVanderbilts AS a Lake Shore controlled company, the Lake Shore dividend in- crease seemed without encouraging ef- feet on Lake Erie and Western stockhod- CTS on the supposition that the benefit from operation to the controlling com pany would be first consideration. The yearly statement of the Lake Shore earn ings was the subject of widespread com ment in connection with the dividend increase the surplus after charges and dividends (partly estimated) falling to s752, ,031 compared with s3,272,0S6 for the previous year.
 The movement in the Vanderbilts and the appearance of the earnings state ments of the various Vanderbilt roads revived discussion of the necessities of the New York Central to be financed in connection with the extensive terminal improvements projected in this city. The subject of future railroad bond issues was kept alive by the suppositions as to the disposition of the proposed Rock Island refunding issue of s250,000,000. Any ru- mors on this subject were various and conflicting as between the adoption of the plan, it's complete rejection, and the issue of separate mortgage or unbonded property of the system for more imme- diate needs. The general suspicion that heavy borrowings by various railroad systems for the purpose of funding the temporary loans and for other purposes, are ahead of the money market, is prime factor in the aggravatng holiday dullness of the trading. Another is the far eastern war cloud, which is casting shadow over the whole worlds finan- cial markets.
 The opinion holds in financial circles, with a possibility of peaceful out come, that the chances are on the side of war. Much speculative activity is diverted to the cotton market where heavy realizing of profits was effected in the desire to reduce commitments for the approaching holiday interval. Sterling exchange weakened further.
 The speculative movement in the local transactions was carried on in rather listless fashion and some of the grade dividend stocks, which figure largely In the surplus accounts of great financial corporations, were marked up without encountering much opposition
 The bond market was firm, Rock Island As and Central of Georgia incomes being brought up to a higher level. Total sales, par value, $2,075,000. Government bonds unchanged on the last call.

HEAVY SELLING
 CAUSES ADVANCE Trading Active in New York
 Cotton Market HIGH RECORD ESTABLISHED At the Close All Gain Is Lost and the Market Is Finally Easy at De- cline of to an Advance
 of Points.
HIGH RECORD ESTABLISHED

New York, December 23.-The cotton market opened steady at decline of four points to an advance of seven, points, the irregularity resulting from the depressing influence of further disappointing cables as opposed to prospects for slightly small CT receipts, bullish advices from New Orleans and continued bull support. For a time the market ruled firm but after ad- vancing another few points broke under liquidation until prices were about to ' points net lower. New Orleans kept sending in big buying orders, however, and on the decline the local bull leader became an aggressive buyer. so that quo- tations were soon soaring up to still higher levels, with the tip coming from New Orleans houses that the bulls in- tended putting this market on 14 cent basis before Christmas.
 Trading here was extremely active and the market was feverishly strong, with prices around midday net 19 to 24 points higher and January quoted at 1S45; May. 1S.s0, and July 1881, this being the IAgh- est range of prices ever established on so many options since war times. The advance at this time was about thre- quarters of a cent above the close of the market on last Monday night, and such as this naturally attracted profit taking of the heaviest kind still, after sagging back about ten points, the mar ket took the long cotton with surprising ease, consequently rallying several points until in the last hour prices broke badly under a perfect avalanche of selling that seemed to come from all quarters In the last five minutes the market broke ten points and so great was the confusion that trades were being made three and five points apart from the same option at the same time in different parts of the ring.
 At the close, the market had lost almost all of its gain, and was finally easy at a decline of 3 points to an advance of points. Sales were 100000 bales. It was also reported that good sales of cotton had been made at advanced prices in the interior. Exports were light.
 Receipts at the ports today, 51754 bales, against 49,274 last week and 74,404 last year. For the week, 29O,00O bales, against 306S23 last week, and 2S5,231 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were IT, S99 bales, against 24,996 last year, and at Houston IS 536 against 10104 last year.

New York, December S.-Values kept constantly rising, but no activity on the part of buyers in dry goods is evident. but rather increased caution. Where sales are consumated, they are at ask ing prices and often these figures are ma terially above what would have been con- sidered by the buyer few days ago.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

By Miller x Co.
 Chicago. December 23.--The wheat mar ket has had a fair degree of activity Southwestern receipts induced free sell ing which gave the market the appear ance of weakness and took "a to 3s cents off the price. but the predictions for rain in the winter wheat belt to be followed by cold weather, caused a change in the temper of the trade and started shorts covering which carried the price up near
 Iy a cent a bushel from the low point.
 The market remains professional Corn has shown firmness all day, and closes strong, "a to 3s higher than yester-
 day. The country continues selling on bad reports. However, there is not much outside buying. The demand has been almost entirely professional. Offerings are extremely light. but above 44c for May. There was good demand for May at A cents. when the session closed. The cash market is weak and prices lower.
 Oats also show a flrmer tone, although the net advance is very slight. There was continued commission house buying, which was responsible for an advance of ss cents from the early low point.
 Provisions opened strong and advanced on light receipts of hogs and a sharp selling demand for ribs. Shorts did some buying and the local professional who was a heavy seller yesterday, was cred ited with buying later in the session to- day. There was free selling of May ribs by home commission houses. and prices yielded quickly. Provisions are the cheapest commodity now and will sell higher
