THE STOCK MARKET

New York Dec. 24--with a closed interval of three days in prospect on account of the holiday from. today nn- tll next Monday. there was little dis position to operate on a large scale. In stocks. The days business was large ly devoted to closing up contracts tai- ready. open. This seemed to operate both ways in the market. short cov- ering was in evidence at some points and in some quarters there was liqui- dation Of long accounts. In the. case of some of the stocks which have ng- ured in the weeks deal rumors. this selling developedaa very unstable con dition of prices. A eounteracting movement appeared in other quarters where the advances were made in stocks that have not responded hither- to to the fact that they are available for possible junction with other rail- road systems. Belief that amalgama- tlons in the railroad and the south western section. contlnue1 a dominat- ing influence In the market. There was pronounced movement in the Vanderbilt group in pursuance of the active direction of the affairs of that property will be made by E. H. Hafrl- man.

The sharp fail In the wabash stocks represented part ly proht-taking sales on the advance which has occupied on the strength of reports of an approaching deal anect- Ing this property. The stocks were weapened by the reports of withdrawal of the company from the trunk line agreement and its determination to cut freight rates to. meet the situation created by. the New Haven and Cana oian Paclnc diversion of traffic. The with other lines over Iittsburg ana Chicago passenger business joined to the present development created an iul- pressioni of new departure In policy, which was of of~disturbing effect.

PRICE UP A LITTLE
SPOT COTTON MAKES SMALL ADVANCE
 YESTERDAY.
Futures Remain Dull fer Most Rart.-De- maEsd for Superior Grades of Staple Seems to Be Steadily
 Growing.

Something, an Tndefinable something. made itself felt in subtle influence on the cotton market Thursday and up went the local spot quotations to SMc for mid ding the Highest for any day of the past ten. Futures, however, raised not point bat generally, fell off one or two. So the spot increase can be accounted for only by the fact that demand made itself felt more on yesterday than for some time.
 And there Is a demand for rood cotton, which is growing steadily. But there is little sold to meet this demand for most of the farmers who sell at sA Ac to Mc are those whose staple is of mediocre variety. Thus there has been considerable cotton brought into Montgomery for transformation into Christmas money during the last week, hu sthat represented the last picking almost invariably, grade of cotton far below the excellent standard set by the staple receiv- ed during the height sof tho season.
 And this low grade cotton brought in single bale or two bale lots by the negro farmer or small white farmer. represents the greater part of Montgomery's receipts during the last week. The better grade es grown by the planters of more extensive crop. has either been harvested and dispos. ed of before. or is held until the figures move themselves beyond the lew mark at which they are now fixed.
 With Thursday afternoon the cotton bus iness of Montgomery for the week closed, for, following the lead of the banks. the warehouses in the city for the most part will remain closed until Monday, and likewise most of the buyers. And if any open for business the day after Christmas. it will be merely to attend to office routine, and not with the expectation of entering into bust- ness activity on day so notortously dull.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec 24.-Business in the cOt- ton market was on the usual narrow pre- holiday scale and fluctuations were slight following an early furry of early covering by shorts The close was steady at q net advance of two to seven points. Sales were estimated at 125,0e0 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 12 points on December. on covering while the later months were three to seven points due and there was no particularly buIlish feature in the general news. The opening advance carried December up to 9 14, but at this price brokers supposed to be acting for the concentrated long interest showed a disposition to supply the needs of shorts. as a result of which the price eased off slightly followed by other positions Busi- ness was practically neglected after midday.
