Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Dec. 29.-For practical
purposes today was the last day of
the year on the stock exchange. AS
Monday is the New Years holiday.
the settlement for today's transac-
tions in the stock market will be de-
ferred in effect until the turn of the
year. This fact was made the basis
for the speculative furor which per-
vaded the stock market TO-DAY from
start to finish and carried dealings to
the two million share level There
was less severity in the money strip-
gency in the market than in the previ-
Gus days. Compared with yesterday
the money market was retarded as
easy, and today's rates were cheer
fully and even eagerly paid. The
possibility of a weak bank return re-
ceived little attention as it was as
sumed that with the passing OF the
last actual business day in the year by
the stock market the crisis In money
might be assumed to be fairly passed.
IT was this assumption that animated
the speculation throughout and held
prices up to the closing which was
firm and at about the top. The
strength of the market was so general
as to require no specifications. The
sensational rise in Anaconda was a
repetition of the recent movement in
that stock.

New York, Dec 29.-OperatiOnS

market was quiet but firm.
New York Cotton.
New York. Dec. 29.-The cotton
market was moderately active and
prices ruled very irregular within a
range of about II or 13 points. Sales
were estimated at $4,000 bales and
the market closed at a net decline Of
II to 13 points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 8 to points IN response 70
lower cables. Private advices from
Liverpool reported that one of the
leading crop authorities abroad,
whose estimate of 10,250.000 bales
had been one of the prominent bull
factors in the advance of the autumn
had raised his figures to 10.500,000
bales for the years growth, and this
seemed to encourage selling by local
profess. .onals, while there was further
Wall Street liquidation and little in
dication of bull support. Prices con-
sequently worked off to a net loss
of about 10 to IL points when the
market rallied few points on cover
ing of shorts and during the early
afternoon worked up and down quite
rapidly between the low point Of the
morning and about the opening fig
ures. Toward the close the market
was heavy under selling for both ac-
counts, and final prices were within
a point of the lowest although the
tone was steady at the decline. South
ern spot markets were unchanged to
Is cents higher IT was q January
notice day in the local market. About
$4,000 bales were rendered, but had
no special influence in ew of the
big premium commanded by March.
Receipts of cotton at the ports to-
day 1929 bales, against 40.S03 last
week and 32.577 last year. For the
week, (estimated) 215.000 bales.
