statements were, in fact. less favorable than were contained in the September statements A contributory cause to the later reactlonary tendency was the con- tinuance of stiffer rates on the call money market. The engagement of gold for ex- port was an influence on this, the $5000 to be forwarded to Paris tomorrow being already assured of a supplement in a later movement.
 The rate at which new bonds are coming on the market and the evidence of this in today's news is calculated to make an i'm pression in the money market with the rate of absorption of available capital thus indicated. The time money market was affected to some extent and the tone was firmer. Reports of a decided lull in the iron and steel trade has an effect in keeping United States Steel heavy. This and the disappointment over the non effect of the Hartman earnings state ments in reviving demand decided the late tendency of the market downwards.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $7,5O4OOO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Taft To Speak at Dinner.

New York, December 2.-It was an- nounced tonight that acceptances already received to invitations for the dinner of the North Carolina Society of New York on December insure the largest and most representative attendance of south erners ever assembled for a function of this character in New York.

Part of the President-elect's remarks, it is understood, will deal with the tariff and it's effect upon growing southern in- dustries. The governors and senators from all the southern states have been invited. Among the speakers will be w. w. Finley, president of the Southern railway

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES HIGHER Opening Is Unchanged And
 Soon Goes Lower RALLY ON BULL SUPPORT Local Sellers Make No Impression After Some Effort and Then Turn to Cover the Market, Clos
 ing at the Top.
RALLY ON BULL SUPPORT

New York. December 2.-The cotton market rallied today and closed very steady at net advance of 8 to points. Sales were estimated at 175,OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of points and shortly after the call showed a net loss of to points on the active months, owing to disappointing cables, continued talk of carrier interior markets, local bear pres sure and scattering liquidation. But Wall street bull interests came to the support of prices at the decline, buying consid- erable blocks all along the line, and as soon as local sellers saw that their offer ings were making no further impression they turned to cover and the improve ment followed during the afternoon. The feature in the late trading was the relative strength of December contracts, which had increased their premium over Jan uary to matter of 32 points, and the fear of bullish developments in this con- nection probably contributed to the gen. eral advance. The close was within a point of the top. The rumor is that there is still big concentrated long in- terest in December, which acts as though it was waiting to receive cottod on its contracts.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed were generally unchanged. A private crop estimate of 12,SsO,0OO bales, issued during the day, had no effect on prices. There were no reports of a further ad- vance in the price of print cloths at Fall River.
 Receipts at the ports today 56, ,292 bales against 9O15S last week and 52,903 last year. For the week 425,OOO against 436. : 1O7 last week and S73, ,667 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, IA, TIP. against 1s,465 last year and at Houston 16p96, against 1879 last year.

DOWNWARD TREND
 IN STOCK MARKET Movement In Rock Island Leads
 To Decline In Prices DEALINGS ARE C. ATTRACTED  Speculative Enthusiasm In the Early Session Causes an upturn, But
 Violent Break Follows and
 Prices Fall Off.
DEALINGS ARE c. ATTRACTED

New York December 2-The violent speculative movement in the Rock Island securities, which broke out yesterday, continued into the early dealings today. There was a notable subsistence of the excitement when the authorized state ments were made of the financial oper- ations about which the speculation cen- tered, followed by violent break in the prices at the end of the day. The com- parison of these official statements with the rumors which had pre- ceded them disclosed so much Of exaggeration and distortion in the rumors that there was a disposition to hesitate about following a leadership in the mar ket founded on such motives. The tone of the market thereupon fell into unset clement and there was a notable contrac- ton in. the dealings.
 Assertions were published over night that the St. Louis and San Francisco bonds had been sold to an amount of $45,0OO,00O, sufficient to provide for all maturing obligations of the company fall ing due this year and next and to furnish resources besides for extensive projects in COnIenpldLlOn. 1HeSG ItpOIl5 pOiillSo u the banking house which usually acts for the Hartman interest as the source of this financial assistance and theein- formation was immediately conveyed that the great advantage being that the liar riman and Rock Island railroads were to be assumed as a consequence Such speculative enthusiasm after rushing into the market during the first hour was somewhat dampened by the formal state ment of the Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, the Union Pacific bankers, that they had withdrawn from the St. Louis and San Francisco financing, which had been taken over by Speyer & Co.,, who have acted in Rock Island financing on previous occasion.
 Rumors were also circulated of project for the formation of a holding company to bring the various Gould properties into closer relations. These also met with disclaimers from authoritative sources. The statements of October earnings of the Hartman Pacifies were relied upon to give fresh stimulation to the market, but their publication failed to bring any response The comparisons with the cor responding month of last year in these

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, December 2-(Special.)- Again Liverpool was influenced by the offerings from the south and not by the steadiness of this market. which appears to be the only one in which buyers are so greatly in the majority that they absorb all the hedge selling and offerings from the south. This speculative buying Is based on the belief (which we have so frequently stated) that cotton Is worth present prices. It Is so prevalent that there are very few who hold contrary opinions based on the large movement and the existing trade conditions in Eu- rope.
 Today's market is an Illustration of the strength of this market. which advanced in face of unfavorable advices from Eu- rope and lower southern markets yester- day afternoon on outside buying, based on the view expressed above Liverpool should advance to points tomorrow.
