STOCKS ADVANCE IN
 NARROW TRADING Most of the Leading Issues Are
 Neglected CALL MONEY IS HIGHER
Requirements for Banks at the End of the Year Make Money Rates Higher While Exchange
 Is Lower

New York, December 3O.-Prices ad- vanced some more during the early ses- sion on the stock exchange today, out the movement was narrower and the total outturn of nominal proportions. Gains were registered by majority by the bet fer known issues, but other stocks were comparatively neglected,
 Bonds were again fairly active, but the largest part, of business In these securi- ties was transacted by directed or private sales. There Is reason to believe thasD Europe has purchased extensively of cer- tain high grade railroad bonds during. the past fortnight.
 Trading on the exchange dwindled in steady, though the closing was at gem eral recessions from the top level. Read ing lost some of it's early gain, probably on disappointment following the publica- tion of November earnings, which were below expectations. and the early advance fin United States Steel was wiped out.
 A rise in call money to ' per cent, the highest rate since the first week of the year. and decline in foreign exchange to s4S4.S5, the lowest level since the panic of 1907 were rather more noteworthy than events in the stock market itself. The advance in call money was ascribed to calling of loans by local institutions to meet year-end requirements, and the de- cline in exchange was a direct result of the advance in the call loans. Naturally the turn in foreign exchange revived rumors of gold import engagements, but nothing materialized in that direction.
 According to forecasts banks in the clearing house ought to gain from $2,5O0, GOO to S3, 100000 this week, but conjecture az to the loan account is hazardous. in view of the many sub-surface conditions which beset the larger institutions at the end of the year.
 Northern Pacific directors today de- clared the regular quarterly dividend on that stock, thereby setting at rest recent rumors affecting that property.
 Action on the Great Northern dividend probably will be taken early in the com ing year.
 Railroad reports included that of the Reading company for November, which showed decrease in net earnings by the transportation company of over s1Oo,OOO, while the earnings of the coal and iron company showed but a nominal increase. The Rock Island lines for November were decidedly favorable, with an increase In net revenues of s413.OOO The various lines of the St Louis and San Francisco sys- tenn reported an increase in operating in- come for November of s163,000.
 London bought a few thousand stocks on balance in this market Americans were strong in London Advices from the continental bourses gave no indication of the reported renewal of trouble In Por- tugal

PRICES OF COTTON
 HELD UP VERY WELL
January Tenders Are Heavy
 But Have No Effect
BULLS ARE VERY ACTIVE
Cotton Is Supposed to He Taken Up By Big Interests Who Were Bulls on the Market During
 Last Summer

New York. December 30.-The feature in the cotton market today was the cir culation of January notices, estimated at about 100000 bales. There was some ner- vousness at the start, owing to the ap- prehensions that such heavy tenders would cause liquidation, but judging from the action of the market there was sharp competition for the cotton and while the close was a little off from the best under realizing it was steady at a net gain of 6 to points on all positions except an in active month. which closed 1 point lower
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points on December and Jan- uary to points lower under Scattering liquidations attributed to the fear of mo- tices and to rather disappointing Liver pool cables. As soon as 1t was learned that big spot people had brokers around the ring buying all the January offered the market steadied, recent sellers began to cover and while they were not buyers of the latter months, there was enough support for those positions through wire and commission houses to impart firm tone to the general list.
 At any rate, prices gradually worked higher until the active months were about 12 to Is points above the closing figures of last night. Later business was less active and prices eased off slightly, clos ing some 6 to points off from the best Trading in December. 1910. ceased at mid day with the position selling at 14.7Sc to belated shorts or 19 points above the closing figures of last night
 It was rumored after the- close that nearly half the cotton rendered today was taken up by people outside of the big spot interests, who have been taking up cot ton during December, and the gossip in- cluded a report that nearly 10000 bales went to one of the houses which was prominent on the bull side last summer. Smaller into-sight figures than expected, the falling off In weekly interior receipts and the continued large exports checked selling for short account during the late trading.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were unchanged to 1-16c higher. All three of the big contract markets will remain closed until Tuesday morning.
 Receipts at the ports today, 53,Ss bales, against 93,134 last week and 25,S34 last year. For the week 320,000 bales, against 364, 15S last week, 161 042 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 12,S61 bales. against 405S last year and at Houston 9311 bales, against s941 last year.

 For the 30 days of December the totals show an increase over last year of S6S, ,000, a decrease under the same period year before last og 122,000, and an increase over the same time in 1902 of 175,000

WHEAT REGISTERS
 GENERAL DECLINE
After an Early Advance Prices
 Take a Tumble
CLOSE AT THE LOWEST
cIines With the Close Irregular. Oats Close Lower and Pro- visions Irregular

Chicago, December 30.-wheat today close. Because of profit taking, however, and predictions of heavy world ship ments, the latest sales were at net de- cline of Ac to 1kc. Compared with last night, corn finished 1-16c up to Nc off, oats unchanged to 1sc down, and provi- sions a shade easier to 10c added cost
 The temporary gain in wheat grew largely from assertions that the govern ment had overestimated the spring crop of three northwestern states. A we'll known expert figured the yield for the district at 15000O,00o bushels. against 177,- 000,OOO as sent out officially from Wash ington. Generous shipments by Australia, India and the Argentine gave the market an easy start, but leading longs bought openly and forced prices to point at which many commission houses had sell ing orders. Larger professional specula- tors who had observed this situation grabbed profits and overloaded the mar ket. Simultaneously word came that world shipments would probably reach 100000 bushels, whereas the total a year ago was S,720.000. It was a rapid descent for qoutations afterward, and the close was easy at almost the bottom for the day.
 Fluctuations in the May option were between 96s4c and 971sd97sc, with final transfers 967Ac, net loss of ssc.
 A private crop report that the whole amount of corn raised in the United States was 2560OO,o00 bushels below the governments figures, afforded shelter under which longs unloaded upon belated shorts. In consequence the market during late dealings was easy at a substantial back-set from an earlier bulge. May ranged from 4SAc to 4S7s@4sc, and at the end of the day was 4S1s@4sssc, net gain of a shade. Cash corn closed firm with No yellow at 46A44614c.
 Oats followed other grain, but in a dull, narrow fashion. May kept inside 34Q341sc and S4ssc, finishing 1sc lower than last night at the first named level.
 Provisions advanced all around on pur- chases by January shorts, the result of a rise in the hog market. Packers and stock-yard traders, though, sold on the swells. The outcome was to leave pork 71Ac to 1Oc higher; lard unchanged to a shade lower, and ribs within 21ac on either side of the previous close.
 Future quotations were as follows:
