Irregular and Heavy Tone in
Evidence Today.
THE ELECTION RECOUNT
REFLECTED III A SHARP BREAK
IN B. r. T. STOCKS.
Some Uneasiness Over President
Forthcoming Message to Congress
Foreign Operations.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.-The irregular
and generally heavy tone displayed by the
stock market this morning was sufficiently
accounted for by the combination of cir
cumstances which was presented for consid-
Grafton at the opening of business.
The results of the recounting OF the votes
cast at the mayoralty election were natu-
rally dsquieting as indicating that the
municipal ownership candidate might posi-
bly, have received majority of the votes
cast and this phase of the situation was
reflected In a particularly sharp break In
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The other local
traction shares, however, along with Con-
solidated Gas, were comparatively neg
lected.
There was also a good deal of uneasiness
evident as to the probable market effects OF
the Presidents letter to Congress, which
will be made public early next week. and
in addition the London stock market was
generally depressed under the influence OF
the calamitous state of affairs In RUSSIA
Russian imperial As broke about points,
rallying l point In the closing deanngs,
Operations here for foreign account were
wholly on the selling SIDE although they
were not heavy In volume.
The Railway List.
1t was generally admitted that the publ
cation this morning OF the correspondence
in the Erie Hamilton and Dayton transac-
ton had produced a decidedly reassurlng
effect One more factor In the general dis
position apparent to close out contracts on
the long side OF the account was the COM
mon expectation that the bank statement
today would make a weak showing on &C
count of the cash losses which the banks
have sustained by reason OF the heavy
transfers of funds to San Francisco.
A number of stocks moved counter to the
general drift of prices, notably In the In
dustrial and miscellaneous shares. Con-
spicuous examples were National Leather,
Virginia Carolina Chemical and Republic
Iron and Steel preferred.
In the railway list the Rock Island issues
were exceptionally firm, probably on the
belief that the recent liquidation conducted
in that direction. which appears to have
been OF a personal nature, has been con-
cluded. There was, however, little more
news or novel gossip attending the course
OF one stock or another than was the case
earlier in the week. The dealings took on a
frmer tone as the morning progressed, but
were al all times characterized by appear
ances of irregularity and feverishness.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.-It is an adj
mitted fact that the great interest that has
developed in cotton speculation in the last
two years has interfered to considerable
extent with speculation in stocks. 1t has
absorbed the attention and capital OF
considerable portion of the public which
might otherwise have been engaged in stock
market operations and it has besides drawn
away large amounts of credits which would
otherwise have been available for loans on
stock exchange collateral
If any figures could be obtained which
would show the cotton business that has
made II profitable for stock exchange houses
in the last three years to establish extensive
cotton departments undoubtedly mucn
light would be thrown on the curtailment
OF the pubiics participation In the stock
market.
To the extent that stocks have been de-
prived of a following that has gone into
cotton the situation that has arisen has an
along constituted an important element IN
the bear point that has been made on
stocks that there were no indications that
sufficient public was coming In which
would permit distribution adequately pro-
portioned to the great advance in prices
that has taken place.
4 X
just now, however, cotton is furnishing
more practical bear point on stocks through
movement to hold actual cotton out OF the
market for a price of 10 cents pound.
That the southern cotton planters are fall
ing into line with the efforts of the leaders
in this enterprise, the officers of the South
ern Cotton Growers Association, would
seem to be more or less clearly indicated
by the falling off in port receipts and by
the scarcity of supplies among the New
England spinners.
A canvass of New England made this
week is said to have shown that in the
whole spinning industry. there only three
mills had as much three months sup
ply of cotton, and that the average was
only a three weeks supply, against nor
NAL stock which would last seven months.
1t is Furthermore stated that pledges to
hold out cotton for Is cents are coming in
at the rate of 1900 bales day, which is
about so per cent of the worlds daily use
of cotton. In the face of movement OF
this Kind, the size of the cotton crop ceases
to be a factor of much weight for 1t is ad-
mitted that it is not a bumper crop, and
the only prospects that offer for relief arc
either a breaking of agreements by the
planters generally rapid rise in prices.
The situation that has developed in cot
ton reflects on securities through the
greatly reduced cotton traffic of the south
ern railroads with consequent falling off
OF other freight on some lines, and through
the huge total Of credits that promises to
be tied up in the hed-out cotton If only
100000 bales Is held out, this represents at
the least 100000 worth of cotton, and
the sums of money so tied up would doubt
less be very useful to the credit centers
of the country between now and the end
of January.
