ST. PETERSBURG, June 6.--Emper-
or Nicholas ukase virtually creating
Governor General Trepoft dictator has
given rise to n mighty sensation. It
is the imperial recognition of the crisis
In the internal affairs in Russia and
lnstlnctively recalls the step taken by
the Emperors grandfather Alexander
II, Immediately after the attempt to
blow UP the winter palace in 1880 when
he appointed a commission of public
safety, headed by Gen. Lorls- Melkoff.
The position of Gen. Trepoff, however,
Is more analogous to that occupied by
Loris- -Melkoff when, later I'm the same
year. he was appointed minister of the
interior with full control of the police.
Reaction and repression" doubtless
will be the quick Interpretation put
upon the emperor's act as soon as It
becomes known to the Liberals. Buried
in the columns of the Official Messen-
ger, and coming almost without warn
ing, the ukase is not yet generally
known, but to the initiated the figure
of Constantine Petrovitch Pobiedonost-
self chief procurator of the holy synod,
looms large. Behind the scenes the
old man remains as stern and as un-
compromising as ever. He left what
many believed to be his dying bed last
Thursday and went to Tsarskoe-Selo
where he spent almost the entire day
with his majesty.
The decision to place in the hands of
the strongest executive in Russia, which
Trepoff is universally recognized as be-
ing, the power to crush with an iron
grasp the political agitation which has
brought Russia almost to the brink of
revolution. is regarded by the public as
the fruit of Pobiedonostseff's visit, for,
so far as can be learned. not single
one of the emperor's ministers was in
the secret.

CONFUSION SHOWN
 IN PRICE MOVEMENT
There Were Spots of Progress
 sive Strength Left
WEEKLY REVIEW IS GIVEN
The Average Daily Transactions Have Risen to the Largest Figures of the Year-London Demands
 American Securities.

New York. December 16-There was con siderable confusion in the price movement during today's active stock market, and sentiment in speculative circles was con siderably unsettled as the result. There were spots of progressive strength still left, however, principally among the in- dustrial stocks and some of the high grade railroad railroads, of which the floating supply is small. On the other hand there was active liquidation manifest at one or two points, notably in the Southern Pacific and the Rock Island and affiliated stocks. The official intimation that the Rock Island preferred dividend was to be suspended in January was the suf- f1cient explanation of the weakness In the Rock Island shares. The heavy selling of Southern Pacific was attributed to sue cessive holders who had counted on an early establishment of dividend payments on that stock and who found cause for the abandonment of their lapses in the language of the annual report of the stockholders. In the body of the list there was evidence of free selling to take profits under cover of the various points of strength. An incipient advance developed after the appearance of the bank state ment but prices subsequently weakened to the lowest and the closing was irreg- ular aud not far from the low level.
 The banks showed the re-establishment of surplus in reserves amounting to nearly s4,00O000. The cash increase of $3,- 120,S00 proved about as expected. Yester- days payments of January l government interest and of important dividends, in- cluding the S1000o.oo0 Standard oil dis bursement, will accrue to the benefit of next weeks market, and figure in next weeks bank statement. But a very heavy demand has developed for remittances to London by next Wednesdays steamer, which Is the last to reach London in time for the end-year settlements. There are large amounts of exchange bills maturing at this time, which were put out early In the period of higher money to take ad- vantage of the profitable rate here.

AberorombIe & Co.'s Market Letter.

The influence of smaller movement to the market of late is reflected in a stead fer market abroad. A lower level of val ues was confidently expected today, but to the contrary a higher range of prices was experienced This steadiness of values Is indicative of a healthy situa- tion as usually quiet and easy markets arc generally the case around holidays. especially at Christmas time when the staple is, as a rule, pressed for sale, the demand for ready cash being so urgent, especially in the country Instead of in- creasing the movement continues to shrink, and we say it without fear of contradic- ton, that If old cotton be eliminated from arrivals thus far this year, 6310,000 against 6.034o00 in 1903, the insight to date would be smaller than the amount marketed to a corresponding day of the ten million crop year.
 The movement for the coming week promises to be less than the weeks in sight of two years ago by about &,ooO bales, pointing to not more than 35.ocD bales, perhaps less, against 41.0oo In 1903
 There is nothing that will impress the public mind and the trade more than will facts, and there is no going behind these figures whatever the ultimate size of the crop.

 Information, from which traders may deduce opinions concerning the census report, attracts the most attention. and although generally indicating very mod crate amount ginned to December 13, the real inducement to buy is the belief that a very small quantity remains unginned, and traders now acquiring contracts are doing so with the determination of hold ing them through any decline which may be occasioned by a possible bearish report and fearing the loss of an opportunity should the figures prove bullsh.

WEATHER IS FAVORABLE

New York, December 16.-The cotton market opened quiet and steady at un- changed prices to an advance of points in keeping with the steady cables. Trad ing was very quiet all through the early session and after sagging off ? or points from the opening figures the market showed little or no feature.
 Private cables from Liverpool attributed the steadiness there to American buying and expectations of bulllsh national ginners report on Monday.
 The weather south was more favorable.

 The weather in the south was unsat- isfactory and heavy roads as result of rains have led to smaller cotton move ment.
 Receipts now seem to be getting some what smaller and in this event bears Will have very little on which to base short selling. Trading was of the usual hon- dav character with professionals doing most of the business. The market seems to be In condition of dead lock which IS not unnatural in view of the approach ing census report next week.
