STOCKS FED OUT
 ID REALIZE GAIN Systematic Support by Same
 Clique Gave Relief CALL MONEY WAS EASIER 4 Rally in the Last Hour Stayed the Preciptant Falling of Values and
 Checked the Rush In
 This Direction.

New York, December 13.-The stock market continued to show the organized efforts of speculative parties and pools an the systematic supporting measures In some parts of the marxet, while stocks were fed out to realize profits at other points. The other conspicuous points of strength early in the day were amongst the mercurial specialties and the tone of the market after a time reflected an un- favorable effect on sentiment of the re- newed prominence of this class of seeuri- ties. This bad effect was partly removed by the coming into prominence of Amal- gamated Copper and seemed entirely re- moved by the revival of demand in the railroad list led by Union Pacific, the transactions in these stocks which were of ordinary volume, and Union Pacific. rose easily by successive stages to new
 record levels. Its aggressive advance had much to do in putting up prices elsewhere, which had developed pretty general sag sing tendency including sharp reactions in stocks which had opened at violent ad- vances. Call money was appreciably easier again and standing loans of that class were renewed by the banks and trust companies at per cent, compared with yesterdays prevailing 10 per cent rate. As surance was not fully restored that the money market could not be kept exempt from disturbance for the rest of the year and the quotations for time loans for the shorter period continued very firm with a commission exacted for securing 3O 60 and 90 day loans besides the 6 per cent legal rate. But with the immediate supply of money more plentiful, the impatient speculation was ready to avail itself of the means afforded and to rush into any point of the money market that offered a promising lead towards an advance. Less attention was paid to the foreign stua- tion and money markets abroad showed no appreciable changes Selling of stocks for continental account, however, was re- ported from London. The movement in

Amalgamated copper was but supple ment to the universal speculative actiV- ity In securities associated with the cop per industry. It's advance to par was greeted with a demonstration. The price of the metal continued to advance here and in London, and reports were current of sales being made at much above the market to secure early delivery. A favor able effect was produced by the report that a settlement had been effected Of the dispute over freight rates over corn for export, averting the threat of war of rates between the Atlantic and Gulf port terminals for this traffic. The easier tone of the call money market was close ly followed by the recovery in foreign eX- change. The recent selling of securities here for foreign account increases the demand for exchange. The statement of agricultural exports for November, how ever showed an expansion in value over those for the corresponding month of last year of $11.k0,165, the value of cot ton exports rising well over those for last month, and reducing the discrepancy with those for the November preceding to less than S2,00O000. Exports of breadstuffs and provisions meantime show heavier valuation than for any month yet report ed in two years past. The assembling of the United Mine Workers convention fixed for tomorrow, received a good deal of dis cussion and was held to account for the restraint manifested in the movement of the coalsrs.
 The judicial decision in the New York municipal contest was the ground for the furry in the local public utilities. The profit taking under cover of this last influence came with rush in the final hour, and swept prices down with some preciptancy, especially in the bouyant fea- lures of the day. But the reaction was checked and some headway effected to- wards a rally leaving the closing tone, however, very irregular

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

These are strenuous days in the mar set. After four successive declines aggre- gating nearly s450 per bale the market has turned and rallied s2 from yester- days low point The biggest buyers to- day were those who were the most con fident sellers yesterday.
 Liverpool was the first to sound a note of warning in cables reporting that the south was refusing to sell actual cotton. Spot cotton in Liverpool immediately ad- vanced points and spinners bought Sooo bales, which was rather more than the average of late. The covering by yester- days shorts lifted our market about 10 points at the opening but for long time there was a disposition to consider such a rally sufficient. Gradually news ar rived of the improving spot demand but the real strength of the day followed fast on a rumor that a large interior cotton firm had laid down on shipping engage ments for 15,000 bales Of course the frst effect of such a failure would be to force exporters into the open market to re- place the contracts thus defaulted. In other words to buy in open market the spot cotton which the failed firm could no longer deliver It is not at all surprising that there should be failures or this sort as cotton Is now worth sl0 to $lz per bale more than in October, when great many of these contracts for fu- ture shipment were made.

Abercrombie & Co.'S Market Letter.

Market advanced about 12c compared with yesterdays low figures, March re- acting from il 70012.20. finally closing at 12. 15. The rapid transit rise was due to the talent having been caught short in all markets on the recent decline.
 Until today their cry was, no spot demand" They may not have realized it. vet shorts by unduly depressing the staple. were playing into the hands Of the spinners by making a market for them. The reduction of $sc in spots during the past two days made limited orders Tor Flu ropean account practicable, a good pus- mess being generally reported atter hours yesterday, and offers by cable overnight were accepted with return cable requests for more offers.
 If Is putting it light to say that shorts were surprised this morning to lind the English market higher instead of lower as expected Liverpool was due about 4 noints down. instead the close there showed an advance of l3 points, whiie spots were reduced points, hliduiihs' f 24. sales 5000 bales.

Concerning the report of yesterday to the effect that MT. Ellison had reduced his consumption figures to Il, ,25O.O0o American, cable from the quoted authority today states that what he did say was that with high prices fl was not unlikely consumption might decrease This is horse of another coior. and when we refer to the recent review or another English authority wherein spin nare were advised to stock up in event Of inc present years production not being more than 1o.5O0,OO0 bales, we can readily see how uneasy are spinners and their advisers over the situation.

HIS TURN NOW.
Young Mr.. Newbcrry Whom snobbis,
Naval Officers Prosecuted Will
Boss Them,

Washington, March 2a.--The formal
announcement at the White House to-
day hat Truman II. Newberry. of De-
trolt, will be appointed assistant secre-
tary of the navy when Judge Darling
retires next fall carries With it a lot Of
anxiety for several naval officers, chief
among them being Captain William H.
Emory. MI. Newberry is one of the
richest men in Detroit, having enherited
a large fortune from his father, who
was the business partner of ex-senator
Mcmillan. He is young n vigorous
and likes to do things.
When war With Spain was declared
Mr.. NeWberry was a melnbe Of the
Michigan naval militia. which included
many others of the most prominent
young men in Detroit. The naval mill
tialnen asked for active service and
were assigned to the Yosemite.
Made Life a Burden.
TIE service of Mr.. Newberry and his
rich companions as defenders of the flag
was onelong continuousnightmare. The
regular officers, from Captain Emory
down, derived great enjoyment and hi
lari:y from assigning the volunteers to
all sorts of mental tasks. The young
men who We're accustomed to nothing
more than a society life
were forced to wash the decks, scrub
the floor and polish the fittings Of the
ship until their arms ached. Mr.. New
berry was u special target for the regu-
lar officers, and they had no end of fun
with him. Mr.. Newberry was game.
He performed every task assigned to
him, no matter how distatseful.
Boot on the Other Leg.
He has never forgotten his experience
with regular naval officers, and now he
is going to be assistant secretary of
the navy and have a gooG deal to say
about the assignments of those same
officers. some of his former persecut-
ors think he wanted .ne place for no
other reason than to get even with
them.
Judge Darling will retire in October
to become collector Of customs for the
Vermont district. Judge Wheeler, Uni
ted States judge for tie Vermont dis
trict, is expected to retire within a
year or two n Judge Darling will
then be appointed succeed him.
