COTTON MARKET
GOES UP; THEN DOWN

NEW YORK, Dec S0.-The higher
Liverpool cables scared a few shorts
in the local cotton market this morn
ing. Prices advanced sharply, although
perhaps not so much as due. Generally
speaking, however, the bearish char
acfer of sentiment locally was not
changed Spot houses and leading bears
continued to work for lower prices or
the idea that the advance abroad was
no more than response to holiday
covering and did not represent any
change in the general situation.
Prices sagged rapidly after the call
under renewed pounding by bears, and
fear that the final report on amount
Of cotton ginned TO December IS would
again prove demoralizing influence.
The market was off TO within points
of the final bids of last night by II a. m
At that level there seemed to be n strata
of very good buying orders. and some
leading shorts exhibited disposition to
cover before the holidays.
Following the ginners' report the fig
ures for options advanced to 5 points
On active months, but soon eased off
The trade apparently had discounted the
report There was no excitement.

SHARP ADVANCES
IN STOCK PRICES
Period of Bullish Enthusi-
asm on Market.
FOLLOWED BY REACTIONS
Buying Runs to Specialties, and Is
Indicative of Considerable
Manipulation.
FOLLOWED BY REACTIONS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3o.-Thc stock mar
ket opened Is to Is higher. Initial deal
ings in Steel common were 1000 shares;
Baltimore and Ohio, 1000; Steel pre-
fel-red, 5000. and Copper, 1000 Copper
lost most of its opening gain
The larger part of the buying ran TO
specialties and was indicative OF con-
siderable manipulation.
Baltimore and Ohio continued to adj
vance and rose per cent. Union Pa
citic, Illinois Central, and Missouri Pa
cific advanced l per cent. The sharp
ness of the advances invited realizing
sales, and toward the end of the first
hour the prices in the railway list in
many instances had reacted stout frac-
lions.
In the Industrial list, Consolidated
Gas sold off Ok per cent Amalgamated
Copper rose rs per cent, but soon lost
more than the gain. Sugar made
fractional gain and then reacted.
The trading element at the moment is
inclined TO take profits, but on small
concessions.
United States Steel preferred softened
q little after the opening, but the, com
mon stock was relatively firmer.
Government bonds unchanged; other
bonds strong and active.

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.

As far as conditions affecting the &C
tuaI value OF securities are concerned,
there is no reason for taking dark
view of the outlook for 1904, and at the
moment the prospects for material
decline in quotations are not at all
bright, although 1t may be well to bear
in mind that If prices continue to adj
vance without interruption for GER
tain length of time the day will come
when speculation on light margins will
suffer losses through Il normal Specu-
lative reaction. Storm signals have
been displayed in the last few days in
the camp of the Boston operator, but
it hardly appears probable that the mar
ket will run into panic If Mr.. Lawson
should renew MS campaign of invective
and abuse.-New York Tribune.
Gross earnings of the Erie Railroad
for November make a most favorable
year ago. showing an increase Of over
SSH, 600 in gross and an increase in net
of nearly 1881, 600 As the company ex-
perienced a long period of falling earn
ings, the Improvement that is now be-
ing recorded and the favorable pros
poets for 1908 will be extremely en-
couraging to the holders of the COM
pany's stocks and bonds.
Earnings of the Reading system for
November show an increase in gross of
sl,312, sos for all companies and an in
crease in net of S7S5, go. For the five
months of the fiscal year surplus after
charges and taxes amounted TO s., 80. 241.
an increase of 81, 024. 213 over tae CORE

The condition Of TIE money market is
shown by the fact that the enormous

been financed without even a temporary
disturbance of the call money market
Nothing like this can be recalled by
