The stock market to-day was again fairly active, but still remained narrow, with transac tions principally for professional account, room traders doing most of the making of values. There was a moderate recovery in the forenoon, but the hammering process wiped out gains, with something in audition, during the after noon. The news of the day was unimportant and rumors were comparatively scarce. The opening was heavy to weak at declines extend ing to !4 per cent., but after a slight further de cline iu some stocks the entire list moved up and advances ranging up to 1)4 per cent, from the opening prices were established. The rise weakened before noon and a break of 8% per cent, in Manhattan was followed by a general decline over the whole list, which, however, was slow and steady Manhattan reacted 2% per cent, in the face of a falling market, but had little effect upon the remainder Reading became specially weak in the last hour and a decline in the general list was accelerated, the close lieing quiet but weak at or near the lowest prices of tile day. Most of the active list are lower, although Fort Worth and Denver and Wheeling andjluke Erie gained 1 per cent. each, but Manhattan was down 2)4, Reading 1%.

Green & Co.'s report on cotton futures says: “A great many have beau handled in one way or another to-day, and numerous fluctuations have taken place in value, but changes were over a small range, with the market acting in lather a contrary manner. Liverpool came higher and held pretty firmly throughout, but that seemed to fail as a positive stimulant, and after repeated ps and downs of two or three points the final turn was in buyers’ favor, with rates closing a shade under last evening. In cases there was apparently a considerable effort to realize. There was, however, no indication of weakness, but the bulls appeared to obtaifi less outside* help and exper once greater diffi culty in holding the position.” Galveston, Dec. 13.—Cotton steady; middling 9fcjc; net receipts 4.956 bales, gross 4,956: sales 367 bales; stock 116,756 bales; exports, to France 1..V24 bales, coastwise 2,20).

Dee. 13.—M iy pork opened higher to-day on 'Change. Tiie opening price was $l5 40, an advance of 10c over night. Shorts were anxious buyers at the start. In ten minutes sales were made at $l5 45. After shoris had bought in all the stuff they wanted, it was discovered that the demand was very light. May dropped back to $l5 30, and rose steady around $l5 30©15 -1225. when the crowd adjourned to the call room. Then there was a little spurt of buying of lard by two local opera tors, the immediate effect of which was to firm up pork. May, which had sold down to $l5 30, advanced to $l5 37)4, and held pretty steadily around that price at 12:30. Interest in pork and lard continued good, and the day's trading was fairly large in volume. Corn opened firm, with shorts and receivers the principal buyers. After the opening some heavy selling com nteneed. Trading was not nearly so large as during the greater part of last week. A large amount of wheat to the Northwest, which is pressing forward to market, was the bugbear of the wheat market to-day, though lower cables increased the feeling of weakness. Continued heavy selling of wheat on the afternoon board had a depressing influence on other markets. May wheat sold off io 8394@88%c, May corn to 5314 c, May pork to $l5 25.
