ENERGETIC BEARS
 DEPRESS STOCKS Lack of Effective Support Is
 Plainly Evident UNCERTAINTY IS THE RULE Continuance of High Money Rates and Absence of Any Announcement As To Resumption of Cash Pay
 ments Cause Weakness.
UNCERTAINTY IS THE RULE

New York, December 13-Speculative conditions were unaltered today, the in- fuence governing the market being as potent in depressing prices as on previ- ous days of the week. Liquidation played a large part in the days decline and was materially assisted by an energetic bear faction which assailed different stocks from time to time In an endeavor to force out long stock. Discussion as to probable dividend reductions combined with the manifest lack of effective inside support at critical times discouraged bull opera tors and prices were accordingly allowed to take their course. The selling pres sure shifted about from one stock to another, but eventually the entire list displayed increasing weakness, which was continued to the close.
 New York Central and American sugar were the weakest features of their respee- tive groups, though the known influences responsible for their weakness were as- stunned to be, radically different. In the case of American sugar. the recent death of President Havemeyer was assigned as the principal cause of the recent heavy liquidation in that, stock, but competent market observers were inclined to attach much eredence to rumor that suc- cessful bear operator was making a cam paign against the stock.
 Uncertainty as to the forthcoming div idend distribution on New York Central, together with the knowledge that further large sums must be expected to complete the terminal Improvements and other projects in course of construction are credited with being the primary reasons Tor the extensive liquidation in that stock. Whether the facts outlined cover the underlying motives for the weakness 1n those stocks or not it is recognized that the rank and file of spectators need little more than a tentative demonstra- ton against stock to encourage them 10 join the movement with enthusiasm.
 The belief Is entertained that the bank . statement will make a favorable showing although money conditions are still re- garded as being far from reassuring With virtually nominal markets existing for mercantile paper and time money the continuation of a currency premium with expectations sof an early readjustment to nominal basis are not encouraging The October statements of both the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, which showed large increase in gross earnings, converted into heavy shrink age in net earnings owing to high ratio or operating expenses, contributed to the weakness in those stocks and in a meas ure fostered the late decline in the gen eral list

New Orleans, December 1s-spot cot tons were firm, with prices unchanged; middling, 11Ac. Sales were 1675 bales on the spot and 1775 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady 1 to points be- low the close yesterday as a result of un- favorable advices from Liverpool. Bear pressure brought about a further reees- sion in values after the opening, and still another beafish feature as presented when it was announced that several southern cotton mills would curtail their output during December and January. Without any bullsh factors of importance developing during the day, the low levels brought about by these bearish features held, and at the close. which was steady, the active months ranged from 13 to IS points below the close yesterday.
