MODERATE GAIN FOR DAY

New York, Decembar 13-The eotton market was less active than at any time since the government report and prices fluctuated within ten point range. In a general way the situation seemed a little steadier and final ouota- tions. while a little off from the best showed a moderate gain for the day.
 The opening was quiet but firm at un- changed prices to an advance of five points in response to steader spot mar kets as reflected by private advices from the south, and the Liverpool cables which reported sales of 5000 bales at an ad- vance of four points, while futures in the English market responding to the local decline of the previous day, were about one to two points lower. After the opening here, there was considerable support, believed to be covering by lead ing room shorts, and with New Orleans showing steadiness and Liverpool report ing recovery from the earlier losses. prices gradually working up until the middle of the morning they were about ten to twelve points higher on the active months. At the advance there was real izing by yesterdays buyers and during the afternoon the market ruled irregular, fluetuating about four to five points un- der the high point of the market. To- ward the close covering by room shorts steadied prices slightly and the final quotations showed net gains of seven to ten points Sales estimated at 125,000 bales. The official adyiees from south ern spot markets showing steady but generally unchanged markets, in spite of moderate sales, helped to sustain the future markets, notwithstanding private wires from New Orleans claiming that factors were ready to sell, but there were few buyers. Receipts ran full but exports were again liberal and the general situation appeared to be undergoing nc material changes from the conditions re- gently reported The unsettled conditions of affairs in Wall street Is regarded as a bearish influence in some quarters but seems to be chiefly instrumental in the way of checking business either way
 Receipts at the ports today, 69, b4s bales against S2,3sS last week, and 6301S last year. For the week 3S00O0 bales against Ss5,457 last week, and 3O6,s23 last year.

STOCK EXCHANGE
 IS STILL NERVOUS Spends Bad Half Hour After
 the Opening CAPITALISTS TO RESCUE After a Period of Feverlsh FIurry Dur ing the Recovery the Market
 Settled Down to a Period
 of Tranquil Advance.
CAPITALISTS TO RESCUE

Nau York December 13.-The stock ex- rhanee spent another bad half hour after 4be opening of the session today. Prompt and vigorous measures were adopted by powerful capitalists to avert disaster, and the headlong downward plunge of nrices was almost immediately checked. A feverish tone persisted during part of the spasmodic recovery, and then the -narket settled down with a period of tranquil advance.
 The higher level thus attained had the effect of inviting some renewed selling. and the manner in which prices melted away under this light pressure again re- vived the nervous feeling. The whole market showed a close sympathy with AmaIgamated Copper throughout, and 1t was the determined support of that stock against the pressure that gave force to the supporting measures elsewhere. Amalgamated Copper fell back to last nights level for a moment after the opening, a point higher, but when 1t was perceived that 1t would not yield below that, the whole market rebounded 1esiliently.
 
 fective dominating power in the last hour. At that time level of prices had been attained for the principal mar .Eet leaders from 1 to points above last night. Amalgamated Copper itself had risen 51A over the final price of yesterday. It was It's abrupt relapse of over two points which gave the market it's sud den chill again. When the sudden rever- sal In the movement of Amalgamated copper was seen to be false start, there were recoveries almost as sudden as the reaction. But this was not entirely con- vincing to sentiment, and the closing evinced considerable hesitation and un- certainty.
 The break at the opening cost the price level quite generally from to points. points. There were larger declines in some stocks, but they were not repre- sentative of the active list. Neither were they restored by the subsequent rally. Isaekawanna lost IS points in this, Pull man T. and American express 5.
 These were generally recognized as due to the relinquishment of measures used to force a few stocks of this class to an unwarrantably high level for effect on speculation. The morning break had the result of making some prices lower than those of the low point of Thursday last, but it could not be said that the average level of the market fell below that point. It was rather evident the intention of the supporters of the market should not, as that would have the effect of exhausting margins, and uncovering stop-loss orders, which were not disturbed by last weeks raid, and thus bring an additional avail anche of liquidation upon the market. The continued rise in sterling exchange caused some discussion of the probabil- ity of further gold exports. Money was very easy, and was not factor in the market.
 Bonds declined early, but showed some recovery later. Total sales, par value, s7,240,000.
 United States bonds were uncnanged on call.
