Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Dec. 13--The stock
market continued to show the or
ganized operations of speculative
parties and pools in the systematic
supporting measures in some parts of
the market while stocks We're fed out
to real &c profits at other points. The
conspicuous points of strength early
in the day were amongst the special
ties, and the tone of the market after
a time reflected an unavoidable affect
on sentiment on renewed prominence
of this class cf securities. This bad
effect was partly removed by the
coming into prominence of Amalga
mated Copper and seemed entirely
removed by the reversion of the de-
nand to the railroad list led by
Union Pacific. The transactions In
hese stocks were of extraordinary
volume and Union Pacific rose easily
by successive stages to new record
levels It's aggressive advance had
much to do IN pulling up prices else
where, which had developed a pretty
general sagging tendency. including
sharp reactions in stocks which had
been opened at violent advances. Call
money was appreciably easier again,
and standing loans of that class were
renewed by the banks and trust COM
panies at per cent, compared with
Yesterdays prevailing 10 per cent
rate The statement of agricultural
exports for November, however. show
ed an expansion in value over those
for the corresponding month of last
year of $11302,165, the value of cot
ton exports rising we'll over those for
last month and reducing the discrep-
ancy with those for the November
preceding to less than $2,000.000. 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 movement came with a rush in
the final hour and swept prices down
wards with some precipitancy, espe-
cially in the buoyant feature of the
day. But the reaction was checked
and some headway effected towards
a rally leaving the closing tone, how
ever. very irregular.
Bonds were steady. Total sales
