STOCK MARKET
 ACTS FAvORABLY Prices Are Higher at Opening
 of the Session
MUCH ACTIVITY IS SHOWN
In Spite of Some UnfavorabIe Develop 4 ments the Market Displays Good
 Tone, While Absence of Inter-
 est Makes the Close Lower

New York, December 12-Today's polit- cal news received a favorable interpreta- tion in Wall street and was signalized by many opening advances of 1 to ? points, with the Hartman stocks displaying the most activity and strength. The action of the market alarmed the short interest, and they bought extensively, giving an ap- pearance of great strength and anima- tion to the trading. The initial prices, however. proved to be the highest, as re- cent unfavorable developments intruded themselves, and the market lost about all it's gain. The failure of the bulls to follow up their advantage encouraged the bears to work diligently to break prices, and by concentrating their selling against certain stocks in which special considerations operated the latter man aged to bring about a general decline. The principal industrials, New York Central, Pennsylvania and Missouri Pacific, were targets for this selling at intervals, with trade conditions and show to prelude the dividends returns attending the decline. These circumstances effectively offset the good effect produced by the relaxation in call money, the high rate today beins only about half of that prevailing yes- terday.
 While the more abundant supply of funds on call relieved the concern felt over the monetary conditions to some tent, it is recognized that the needs of early large corporate requirements and the necessity of the gradual reparment of impaired bank reserves are influential fo Ln market operations. Reports from the in- terior of improved monetary conditions are supported by the lighter shipments from here, but the position of the local banks has not been essentially favored by this development owing to the heavy drain on sub-treasury operations. The banks have lost nearly $5,000.OOO on this account during the week Time funds continue unattainable in large amounts, and rates, though high, are considered purely noml- nal
 In spite of the unfavorable circum- stances, the market as whole rendered a fairly good account of itself and showed evidence of support at opportune times. A large proportion of the days business was transacted at the high range of prices, the market thereafter sagging in dull and listless fashion until the list event. ual1y fell back to a parity with yesteI- days closing prices or below.
 The bear attacks which occurred at Ire quent intervals during the day were aided in large part by the timidity of the bulls to rouse the market from its lethargy. and when the room operators offered q large amount of stocks simultaneously the supporting orders were withdrawn and heavy stop-loss orders were uncovered.

CROP WILL NOT BE LARGE

New York, December 12.-The cotton market had a big advance during today's trading, with all the active months sell ing above Il cents once more, and they closed steady, at a net gain of 20 to sl points. Sales estimated at 350,0O0.
 The market opened firm, at an advance of 19 to 27 points in response to higher Liverpool cables and big English spot sales. There was heavy selling by Wall street at the advance, but there was also an active demand from local bulls and commission houses and while prices showed some irregularity, the general tendency was upward until after id-day January selling at 111t and March at 1.2S or 30 to 3S points net higher on the active months, and about 50 points above the low level of yesterday.
 Toward the close realizing cost prices or points of the gain. but the final tone was steady and the New Orleans market showed firmness after the local close. The advance seemed due to very bullish reports concerning the strength of interior holders in the south, claims that there was a better demand from spinners and a growing impression that if the government has not overestmated the crop it has not underestimated it. The bulls are looking forward to very bulls1 statement from the census bureau next week on the amount of cotton ginn6 to December 13, and this was an- other factor favoring the advance to within 15 or 20 points of the high prices ruling before the bureau report. Spot people were active buyers here during the day. Receipts at the ports were 57,207 against 54,566 last week, and 5S,0oo last year.
