can Car preferred and Tennessee Cop
per large fractions.
II a. ma few more of the I'M
portant stocks improved in the neigh
borhood Of a point or more, but the
feature of the speculation was the
sharp movements in a number of the
minor railroads and s~pecialties. The
violence of the advance in this class
of stocks invited sales of the usual
leaders after a while, and some of
them fell below yesterdays closing.
Some of the specialties proved very
unstable at the advances. American
Smelling lost IL and Wabash pre-
ferred 2. Some of the advances were

/ p. m.-The tone of the market be-
came heavy and there was a relapse to
the low prices in a number of railroad
stocks, notably ST. Paul, Union Pacific
the u. S. Steel stocks and Wabash pre-
ferred. Tho gains in American Smelt-
ing and Amalgamated Copper We're
nearly lost. National Lead advanced
~.
p. m.-Representative stocks, such
as Union Pacific, ST. Paul, Reading,
American Smelling and the local trac-
lions, were again leaders. The minor
issues were less active than in the fore
noon and moved narrowly. st. Paul,

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The cotton
market opened steady. at an advance
of 3 points to a decline of 2 points, De-
cember and October being relatively
firm on covering, while other positions
felt the influence of disappointing
cables. and the active months generally
showed a sagging tendency during the
early session and scattering liquidation
and local pressure. December reacted
to about the closing figures OF yester-
day. while other months ruled about
3 or 4 points lower during the middle
While not active, the cotton market
showed rather a undertone
during the late forenoon, with De-
cember relatively firm and Z points net
higher on covering. The advance in
this position had a steadying influence
on other months, which rallied from the
low point of the morning, and at mid
day were about net unchanged.
