The stock market to day was extremely dull
after the first half hour, and w hile heavy to
weak, there was almost no feature of interest
developed throughout the session. The bank
statement was a disappointment to the bears,
and prevented the usual Saturday selling move
inert at the close. Richmond and West Point
prersrred recovered handsomely from its late
depression. Movements in most stocks were for
small fractions, and were devoid entirely of
feature. The temiier of the room was conser
vatively bearish. The opening was heavy at
fractional declines, which were supplemented
in the early trading by further losses. The
market became extremely dull after the first
attack was completed, and from that time deal
ings were featureless beyond a fairly firm tone,
which lasted till the close, which, however, was
barely firm at or near the lowest prices reached.
Closing prices are generally lower, though in a
few cases for more than 46 per cent., the
exceptions being Burlington and Quincy, which
lost 144 per cent., Kansas and Texas 146, and
Pacific Mail %. On the other hand, Richmond
and West Point preferred rose 146 am! Central
Pacific 1 per cent. Sales aggregated 80,000
shares. The market closed at the following

~Green & Co.’s report on cotton futures savs:
. cere has been a fair business for the short
session on the market, with a generally firm
tone indicated, and an advance of 6 points well
maintained to the close. A more favorable
public report from Liverpool indorsing yester
day’s private accounts, and the latter still
coming cheerful, coupled with an indication of
smaller receipts, infused strength, aud induced
shorts to cover quite promptly, with a little as
sistance obtained by the local 'bull' element.
Some New Orleans buying orders came in, but,
aside from that, there was not much outside de
mand.”

Chicago. Dec. 10.—There were reports of a
cold wave in the wheat belt at the opening of
’Change to-day. May wheat opened at 8846 c,
but immediately sold off to 8544 c, which was a
triile below what it closed last night. May corn
opened 44c higher at 5546 c, and sold imme
diately at 5446 c. Pork opened higher at sl4 80
for January, and very light receipts of hogs at
the yards. The government report, which was
incomplete, hail a bearish effect on the market,
and this feeling was helped along by the report
that Ferry had been assassinated. May wheat
sold down to 8444 cby 11:30 o’clock, the decline
icing helped along by the weakness in com. At
12:30 it was fairly steady at 85c. The great de
pressing influence in com was the large esti
mated receipts for Monday. When they were
made known it dropped to 34c for May. Provis
ions reacted a trifle after the bear crowd stopped
selling.
