There lias been a resolution to that effect Intro duced In congress. The bullish forces have certainty been hurd hit by the report and been expressed in think the wisest _ . .jke their medicine . w- ,—- tendency of cottdn prices I* downward. The business reaction Is on. and being felt in all lines commercially. We believe market will go lower, and etfen If the report had been more bullish tho busi ness decline would Imre forced tho same amount of liquidation of the long interest. This Is a very slow opening with no fea tures. May slightly below the close. Liver pool Indifferent. Look for a sagging market A little liquidation, considerable short selling without much support. Is about all there is In the stock market as yet The professionals seem Inclined to the short side. Money market Is the most important feature. Mitchell buying. Hbearson and Wenman selling. No feature to the market Ap parently without friends and do not expect much more of a decline, although not yet ready to advance. The heavy movement Is attracting atten tion.

Now Orleans, Dec. 17.—Hayward, Vick & Clark: No bull support and bears have free play; but they evidently recognize that this decline Is only owlug to holiday dullness, and that cotton Is In a stroug position, therefore they are not hammering except for little scaips. rt's a buy on the scale down for n good advance, after the dullness Is over.

(From Haywood, Vick & Clark.) Chicago, Dec. if.—Bartlett, Frazier & Carrington: The market appears to have a good, firm undertone, nnd we believe will result In higher prices. . Receipts of corn are moderate. East ern demand Is extremely good, and sup plies are not large enough to supply the domestic demand. Receipts of oats are larger, but ap parently are all wanted. Chicago Record-HeraId: Increasing ag gressiveness on tho part of the bull Inter ests In wheat and increasing nervousness on the part of shorts was apparent during yesterday’s spurt of activity nnd strength In the last half hour of the session. The bull Interest was inclined to anticipate a more favorable condition of financial af fairs following the opening of the new yietr. Tho fact that America la now ship ping between two-thirds and three-fourths of the totul world s supply of wheat weekly indicates a probable reduction of domestic stocks to proportions that will he not at all burdensome. The present dullness of the Hour and milling trade Is counted a natnrnl Incident of this ucaaon of the year. There Is n steady though stnalLdemand for cash wheat here fov Interior mills, which find his market the cheapest available. Local bulls are predicting that cash No. 2 red winter wheat will sell nt May deliver^* price bore before February 1. Duluth export houses that are In touch with foreign buyers of wheat make claim that Arge - — * ~ ready sold a limit abroad nnd that low prices on It In order to inffuom _ price of the new crop, which will soon be ready to move. It is claimed that the sales to Europe are abort sales nnd that In the event of accident to tho Argentine crop there will bo lively scrambling to fill theso contract*. John Washburn, of the Washburn-Croaby Company, believes that the Northwest ha* a very light stock of wheat. He estimates roughly that there Is 49 per cent less wheat In farmers’ hands and 60 per cent less In country elevators now than there was at this tlmo n year ago. George M. Lei’omit cabled from Villa Muirs, Cordova District, Argontlna, to Fin ley Barrell: "Wheat Is In splendid condi tion and will make a full crc~ ** the wheat'Is looking fine am that it will be better quality than last year. Weather conditions favorable.’’ Boston wired: "We do not think th< •nsluess situation." Lyle, of Now York, wires: “I rnn’t strut* any Argentine news as bearish, as tho best she can do will ouly meet expectations. Any blemish will bo bullish. Tlmo enough to. hare damage.

Market unfavor ably affected by continued gold en gagements for America. Bankers consider return of hoarded money to New York has begun and will Increase In volume. January disburse ments expected to keep call money rates higher for balance of year. Structural steel mills at Buffalo re sumed operations and others expected to open. London Times comments on the bat tleships’ departure for Pacific. Stock market Irregular. While there Is pressure upon several of the active stocks, there is covering In others, no tably In Smelters. Steel stocks again holding well. The short Interest has covered so largely In last few days that there is very llttle buying from that source., Borrowing demand for stocks yester day and today has diminished consider, ably. Directors of New York Airbrake Company are scheduled to meat tomorrow, when It Is expected they will order a radical reduction In dividend disbursements, If they do not decide to pass the dividend altogether. It 1* said that owing to existing financial con ditions the company bad experienced a S eat deal of difficulty in making collec- mg, nml consequently had not Its usual amount of funds available for disbursement to shareholders. Do not see any good In stocks and expect to *e« price* quite a little lower. Can not advise purchases until tho money market changes. 'Financial Bureau: Irregularity seems likely to continue for a time In the stock market, with stock met on rallies aud sup port found on declines in the unliquidated and liquidated lsues respectively. The best plan, under the circumstances, Heems 1 to be to buy the standard rails when \w..- and sell the industrials when strong, In both cases for moderate profits. While some support Is noted in Amalga mated around 43, reduced from 44, more liquidation Is rumored uud professionals would hammer If It overwhelms the closing buying orders. Professionals stilt sell Amalgamated on firm spot* since the re fusal to support. Atchison support is at 79 and 67068, according to our reports. Brook lyn Rapid Transit finds some support near 37. Covering occurs for some reason In 8t. Paul around 100, hut the room I* still bear ish on this stock. New-liquidation broke out In Distillers nnd will have to ruu Its course. Great Northern and Northern Pa cific pro both supported around 1J20114, but we would buy them on a conservative scale.
