Nabuco. who was for years the ambassador OF
Brazil at our seat Of government. on neither
occasion, however, was there employed for the

CHEERFUL SENTIMENT. Market Continues Advance, Closing
 Buoyant and Lighter.

New York, Dec 1.-The stock mar ket continued it's advance yesterday closing buoyant and higher
 The opening was strong and active and showed clearly that some short lines were being covered. There was better buying by the commission houses, particularly of the metal shares Sentiment was cheerful. On the advance some profit taking was met with. after which the market be- came dull, in which condition it re- main until the last hour, when it again advanced.
 There was a dearth of news. the only announcement of importance being that the number of idle cars had de- creased, and that was more seasonable than important.
 The commercial agencies in their fe- ports for the week declared business was increasing, a declaration that found confirmation in the increasing volume of bank clearings throu ghout the country.
