STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Dec. 31.-The year closed
on the Stock Exchange with a very hope
full and confident sentiment predominant
ing. During the first two hours of bust
ness the aggregate sales reached lar
ger figure than in any similar period for
many months. The taking Of profits on
the two days rise made considerable
impression upon prices during the final
hour, so that some conspicuous stocks
lost all of their early gains. The great
central factor in the days market was
the safe passing of what had been con-
sidered danger point in money affairs,
and confidence IS general that the normal
relaxation in money rates will follow
the turn of the year.
Current reports of railroad earnings
also show a larger ratio of increase in
gross earnings, raising the hope of an
improved showing in net returns The
yearly reviews now appearing of the clos
in years extraordinary prosperity had
a strong sentimental effect on specula-
ton, and the governments estimates of
the very large cereal crops gave substan-
tial ground for a hopeful feeling over the
future. Of the days special develop
ments the maintenance of the per cent
dividend on Delaware and Hudson stock
was a reassuring factor, especially in the
case of the Coalers. That group, how
ever. was affected by realizing. The rise

New York, Dec. 31.-Liverpool did not
respond to our decline late yesterday
afternoon and cotton was much stronger
at the opening with an urgent demand
from the shorts, although there was but
little outside buying for the public &C
count which is in keeping with the con-
ditions of the past three weeks. Indeed
there was never time when there was
so little speculative long cotton being
held in the market. Spinners are long
of contracts, while spectators are short
of them. The notices issued yesterday
for 5000 bales of cotton on January con-
tracts, represented spot cotton, much Of
which had been sold to spinners Those
who issued the notices must look to the
Southern spot markets to replace their
stocks so that there will be an urgent
demand for spot cotton during January
and this together with the enormous
speculative short interest. will I'M
doubtedly advance the contract market
here to nine cents in the very near flu

Cotton Letter
Especial to News and Observer

(SpeciaI to News and Observer
New York. Dec. 31.-The tone of the
market continued steady. There was an
aggressive business, partly because 1t
was the last day of the year. But in
view of the recent advance, in view of the
heavy tenders of January cotton and the
holiday feeling, prices ruled firm in the
extreme Those who bought cotton last
week and sold on the advance yesterday
were inclined to take the cotton back on
any decline. AS compared with the two
previous days of the week, trading was
not heavy, but as compared with a week
ago, it seemed large. The feature this
morning was the narrowing of the jan
uary, March premium to eight points,
while March sold two points over May
much of the time. This was the direct
of March. January cotton came
out to supply the short buying and pre-
vent an upturn. What the outcome of
the January affair will be no one knows.
For the present the selling is expected to
meet the covering demand. 1t may be
the short interest will be forced to cover
later at higher prices. 1t may be the
deal will peter out and die a natural
W
on January own March and this will tend
to support the market until receipts show
UP very much larger than they are to-
day. In every direction feeling continues
favorable to the market, favorable to
degree that would warrant an advance,
should spinners come into the market af-
ter the turn of the year. Everyone is
looking for an advance and with mod
crate receipts this is more than likely.
Later in the year everything will depend
on the movement. If the receipts get
large, as they will unless estimates are
more out of the way than they have ever
BEEN, the course of prices can hardly
be upward. But this is a long time 10
come and temporary factors appear to
favor buying on all declines. There is more
disposition to buy than for some time and
this is evidently the side to follow until
the tide turns. The market closes today
and will remain closed until Friday. The
past season has been the most successful
in the history of cotton and the narrow
margins between supply and demand
seems to indicate that the coming year
will be a satisfactory one to both pro-
Queer and consumer. In thanking you for
your patronage in the year just past we
desire to extend our wishes for a happy
New Year.

RAILROADS DOING WELL
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 31-This has been a
semi-holiday in the market and general
business has been on a lively scale
throughout. Narrow print cloths are
very firm and difficult to buy. Mems
wear, woolens firm, with fair demand for
overcoatings. Wooden and worsted dress
goods dull.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Dec. 31.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance OF TO
points. For the day preceding holiday
speculative operations were on scale
most satisfactory to the trading interests,
with prices close up to the best point OF
the season and 80 points above the lowest
on the present crop. January started
out as the bull feature, increasing its
advance to points soon after the call.
Its highest point was 81, or Q points
above the previous night. In March and
May the feature was good buying for
Wall Street pool interests and by promi-
nent Philadelphia people. There was also
a good general demand early in the ses-
sion on over night orders by people who
regard the present rather liberal port re-
ceipts as but temporary, expecting them
to be followed by less oppressive arrivals
in the near future. The English cables,
while opening three to four points lower
later contributed considerable aid to the
bulls by showing a partial recovery, yet
it could hardly be said that the final ad-
vices from abroad displayed a hearty re-
Spouse TO the bullish developments here
during the session. Late offerings by
room traders were SO quickly absorbed
by the market as to check aggressiveness
along this line. From the South reports
were quite bullish as to the spot situa-
ton, exporters were ready buyers of the
staple and private English cables noted
a general European covering movement
as we'll as some expansion of speculative
business. At one time during the after
noon prices lost several points under
local realizing, but this was followed by
renewed buying except in the case or
January which closed about points
under the top.
The market closed officially very
steady in tone with quotations from two
to ten points net higher late positions
showing the greatest Improvement.
Total sales of futures were estimated
at 900 bales.
