WALL STREET REVIEW
LITTLE IN THE STOCK MARKET FOR
 COMMENT.
Listlessness and Neglect of Trading Amount ed to Absolute likeness for Long Interests, while Attendance
 Was Meagre.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-There was little demand in today's stock market to call TOT comment. The listlessness and neglect ot the trading amounted to absolute idleness for long intervals. The attendance was meagre fro mthe first and many members left the floor during the sesion on account of the hopeessness of any awakening or interest. -S%M
 Even the usual evening up of contracts over long holiday interval seemed .-dsNs 10 nave session. Aside from the profound duilnees the principal feature of the market was its s0H time sns the slow ing process established number of feir advances. Such contracts as remained to pc and the rising tendency was generally at. tributed to covering of these. News was or little importance and Its influence was not discernable in the movement.
 The usual forecasts of the weeks currency movement with the interior indicated suffi. cient receipts to offset the gold exports ana cash gain of about two million. The changes in the loan item at this time are problem atical, but there has been no sign or any such stock market liauidation as that which caused last weeks large loan con traction. The state of the money market effectually quiets all interest in snowinss of bank statements at this time
 Money is difficult to place on call ana the lenders on time are growing more and more lenient regarding collateral Loans for six months made on all industrial collateral at about the same rates as on the usual mixed collateral The outward move- ment of gold equally fails to arouse inter est in view of this condition of the money market. The. amount to be disbursed on January 1 in dividends and interest is com puted to be larger than ever before on that date. The weeks exports of corn show the first symptom of actual revival in that trade, the total having risen to 1.S62.Sss bushels, compared with 45s.71s last week. This weeks total is. in fact. the largest for the corresponding week in four years The wheat outgo continues insignificant compared with that of former years in the recent past News of the breaking of the drouth in the western Pennsylvania region was received with satisfaction.
 Reports of railroad earnings made further good showings The dull strength of the market continued up to the closing. which
