IHE STOCK MARKED

New York. Dec. 17.--The scsntiness of the money supplies kept the stock market dull and contracted. the speculative setlyity some relief to the hsavinsss that has weigh cd upon 1t for several days past. Prices movement was dragging and hesitatfng. As sistance towards resisting the mood of de- precision was affordsd by the news of the cent. on Lake Shore and Michigan Central stock; the two. most patsn subsidiaries of
 Lake Shores semi annual dividend of 6 per cent. has been the regaular only for two previous half years and this E true of Mich Lake Shore previous to that having been s per cent. . year. for three years. and on Michigan Central four per cent. year for
 The surplus from these dividends profits over the. sum required to pay interest on Central accrues to the New York Central treasury which holds most of the stock of ns ss s.w ys sas several days on an asslmption that its div idends will be reduced or paid In scrip by
 The sustaining effect on prices in general developed SSiy after period of snasp Ts n ness was attributed to reports ot. consulta- tton among those Interested in these prop auirements of the law law for diysstment oi ownership of coal mines. Assertions ac- companied these reports that difficuities were encountered in finding feasible meth cd of complying with the law which seem ed to threaten the necessity of suspension of business by these companies when the law becomes affective on May l. The sub sequent rally in the stocks pointed to q pro fessional origin for much of the selling. The whole market in fact. remained large ly in professional lines and was narrow. Dividend prospects for individual stocks formed the staple of the discussion.
 Money conditions were unchanged. The premier insisted on currency. call loan rates went higher than yesterday and discounts rose in both London and Berlin. Fears of e severe money stringency over the year end in meeting the necessities of that pe- riod affected the apprehension. New York command of the Exchange is explained by the November foreign trade statement which shows an excess value of exports over imports for the month of S9s,655.7 Additional understanding of the tnterna- tional exchange situation Is afforded by the showing that in spite of November's S63.- 461,0 036 of gold imports the eleven months of the calendar year show an excess of imports over exports of gold of only s44.- s26,482. compared with $103,133.sS0 in the eleven months of last year. New points of weakness developed in. the ,l lete market and the closing was irregular.

In the Montgomery market there were few offers to buy, and offers to sell were so few as to indicate that holders were prone and properly fixed to hold for bet ter prices. The general tone of the market however, was weak, and the explanation was made that the duiiness of the holi- days tended to make it so.
 Receipts of cotton show a poor grade for the past several days, badly stained sam ples being a feature. In the warehouses though. are many fine cottons. the last bit of the crop may not materially affect prices.
