STOCK MARKET Is IN HALT|NG MOOD. Spotty Advance In Early Ses-
 sion Is Not Held SELLING IS VERY HEAVY One Depressing Influence Is Calling of Loans on Large Scale by
 Large Banks That Held
 the Paper.
SELLING IS VERY HEAVY

New York, December 2o.-The specu- lative hope that the approach of the holidays would be signalized by a brisk advance in prices of stocks was dis appointed today The spotty advance at the outset met selling pressure of such an effective kind that enthusiasm was chilled
 factor in this result was the set back in the Atlantic Coast Line group of securities, which followed the put ting out of denials. with appearance of authority. of the rumors which ac- companied last weeks advance in those stocks that today were equally mis- leading. The denials covered the alleged intention to issue new Louisville and Nashville stock with valuable subserip- tfon rights to stockholders which would of course have benefited At lantic Coast Line in that capacity, and also the supposed intention to retire the Atlantic Coast Line collateral the Louisville and Nashville stock which secures these bonds.
 There was a sharp falling off in the price of all the securities named. which was of sympathetic effect on the gen eraf list.
 Another depressing influence was the calling of loans on a large scale by several of the large banks which neces- sitated the replacing of accommoda tions. One reason given for this call ing of loans was the appearance of in- creased supplies of commercial paper and the desire of the banks to provide themselves with means to take 1t.
 A payment of s12.500,000 on an in stallment of subscription to the new stock of the New York, New Haven and Hartford made an additional demand upon the money market. The s1,5o0, 900 gold to be shipped to South Ameri- ca was withdrawn from the subtreas ury during the day. Meanwhile tn e institution had contributed over $2.00c,- 900 to the banks since Friday through the medium of some heavy government disbursements No engagements of gold for shipment to London by Wednesdays steamer were announced, the exchange rates ruling below the point of profit on the transaction.
 The London supply of gold was taken for Germany but the discount rate Tn London was easier.

COTTON ADVANCES ON CENSUS REPORT Prices Go Higher h Spite of
 Liverpooi'S Weakness PART OF ADVANCE LOST Southern Spot Markets Are Generally Unchanged and Market Is Con sidered Evened Up for
 the Holidays.
PART OF ADVANCE LOST

New York. December 20.-The cotton market was quiet today but showed generally firm tone owing to the hullish census report and firm interior spot mar kets, with the close steady at net ad- vance of to II points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to points. with the trade paying no attention to somewhat disappointing cables owing to the census figures, which showed only s,Se2 ,2e2 bales ginned to De- oember l3. This report was generally considered as confirming the small esti- mates of the crop, but did not appear to be bringing in any fresh demand of consequence. possibly because of the near approach of the holidays. and after show ing a net advance of about to 9 points the market eased off or points during the middle of the day under realizing and selling by local bears, who anticipated that the failure of general business to expand on the census figures would bring out a lot of long cotton for over Christ mas.
 There was no sign, however of liquida- ton on any important scale. and when it was seen there was enough support in the market to prevent break below Gs for May, some of the early sellers started to cover. with the result that trading re- came more active and prices reached the best point in the late trading, when ae- tive months ruled abont g to Il points net higher and May contracts sold with in points of the seasons high record. The close was only a point or two offs from the best on active positions.
 Southern spot markets were generally unchanged and reports from manufac- turers claimed an improved demand. Local authorities considered that todays trading indicated that the scattering in- terest had been pretty well eveRed up for over the holidays, and that the bigger people on both sides are willing to stand on their position until after the turn of the year.
 Receipts at the ports today, A,4l7 bales, against 29,78 last week and 4s,53s last year. For the week, 200, 600 bales, against s3l35 last week and as6, sSs last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 76S0 against 1f.el0 last year. and at Houston, R,sss, against sS09 last year.

TRADE REPORTS CONFLICT

Chicago, December 20.-Wheat today lost most of Saturdays gain and closed with prices 5sc to 212c lower than the strong and provisions were weak.
 Extreme nervousness marked the trad ing in the wheat pit all day and prices moved over a range of 11s@1hc to 1s.c. During the day the December delivery sold between s1.161z and sl1sA and the may option between sl.12ss and $.1SsD 1.137s. Closing quotations on December were at N,1s1h@1, 165s, May closed at s1.13ls
 The trade in general was still at sea regarding the reported large advance at Buenos Ayres which was the cause of the tremendous bulge here Saturday, con- ficting adyices being received. Several reports, however, were received from the South American country telling of favor able weather conditions and these tended to weaken the market, Weakness of for eign markets, the Liverpool market be- ing off lad to 5sd caused a sharp break here at the opening, initial quotations being down from 1 to ?. A bulge of 2c in corn prompted considerable covering by shorts, which resulted in 8 substantial advance toward midday. An improved demand for cash wheat, light primary re- ceipts and a blizzard In the northwest also helped to strengthen the market.
 Cold weather caused weakness in the corn market early in the session, but to- ward the mdidle of the day urgent buy ing by shorts forced prices up sharply.
 Primary receipts were light, but there appeared to be no improvement in the demand for the cash grain Trading dur ing the final half of the session was on a large scale, Prices at the close were almost at the top at net gains of 11hc to 1Sse compared with Saturdays final fig ures.
 Oats were weak at the start because cd the heaviness of wheat and corn, but rallied later in sympathy with the ad- vance in corn. An advance of Ao to 1sc in the price of the cash grain helped to strengthen the options. At the close prices were esc to 10 higher.
 Provisions were weak all day owing to increased receipts of live hogs in the west. Total movements of hogs surpassed for the first time in many weeks, those of the corresponding day year ago. Prices at the close were unchanged to 171hc lower.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, December Especial. 1.-The government ginning report was quite as huIlish as expected and caused a final im- provement abroad of about points and an advance here of from to points Transactions were on limited scale with the northern and western interests lia= uidating before the holidays on the idea that the worst was known regarding the crop. The bull interests and the south are buying on the theory that the spinner will appear as 8 buyer after the turn of the year at q much higher price than those now ruling. So small an advance here was thought to indicate a small spec- ulative report inter sst, The close was quiet and steady with better iiver- pool expected tomorrow.
