NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET
Nv Associated Press.

By Associated Press
NEW YORK. Dec. S1.-The stock exchange
today saw the expiration of the year 1907
without regret, but with some attempt at
cheerful expectations of the coming year. The
principal incentive to the early advance in
prices came from abroad. where there was
quite a widespread feeling Of encouragement
over the prospect for quick Improvement IN
the banking situation after the turn or the
wear There was a pronounced recession in
the private discount rate in London and con-
sequent assumptions that the Bank OK ENG
land official rate would come down on Thurs-
day The tone of the market IN Berlin
showed an entire subsistence of any anxiety
over the outcome of the yearly settlements
at that point. which has been regarded as a
dangerous point up to recently. The call
money market was affected by the operations
incident to the last day of the year. but not
anything like the extent that had been
dreaded. Sensitiveness to future demands on
the money market was disclosed in the effect
on the New York city bonds and the inti-
nation that the city would issue long term
bends to the extent of $200OO,WO TO $SOOOO,0O0
some time next month. The AZ per cent of
1907 receded 2 per cent on this news.
The statement of the Atchison system of
earnings for November showed so sharp an in
cad on the net returns that stocks were ar
fected unfavorably throughout upon its publ
scation. A nominal decrease in the gross re-
turn for that month is accompanied by a
swelling in the operating expenses Of $l,25i,-
or the net return falling in consequence to
Sl,lS4.224 compared with 1880 407 in NoVem-
Der of last year. The anticipation of the cut
in the Anaconda dividend had depressing in
fluenco on the market and there was no re-
bound after the declaration of the dividend.
The copper stocks were relatively little af-
fected. The last prices were about the low
est.
Bonds were strong; total sales. par value,
81, $4,000. Government bonds were unchanged

New York, June 15-Phe cotton mar ket was dull and lower today, sales be- ing estimated at only 75, 900 bales. with the close steady at net decline of to II points. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 point to an advance of points with the active months generally unchanged to 1 point lower, owing to lower cables than eX pected. Selling was checked to some extent by reports of further breaks in the levees near Shreveport, but this showers in the western belt failed to attract bull support, and the market gradually weakened owing to easy late cables and liquidation by buyers of last week. The close was a little up from the lowest on the near months as re- suit of covering. No one seems to have any definite information as to the ex- tent of the area which has been flooded In the southwest, but the impression appears to be that it represents no very large percentage of the total.
 With the exception of flooded sec tions the crop is supposed to be do- ing we'll particularly in the eastern belt, and the local traders are proba- bly convinced that the conditions had improved on. the average since the gov ernments June report. Private cables reported a narrow featureless market at Liverpool, and operations there re- f1ected no fresh development in the near month position, which is rumored to be in bull control. There were ru- mors here during the day that prom tent New Orleans operator is long on July in the local market, but near months shorts are either protected by actual cotton or are showing little anxiety as to the outcome.
