There was great indisposi tion to trade, business being mainly confined to room traders. Most stocks were from %©% per cent, below yesterday s final figures at the opening. New England and Lackawanna ex hibited some strength and the former advanced 1 per cent., but the general list was intensely dull, though a firm tone existed and small frac tional gains were established among those st<x:ks traded in. Toward 1 o'clock there was a notice able drooping tendency, which was specially marked in Kansas and Texas, but the marxet rallied and closed firm near the best prices reached.

Green Co.’s reoort on cotton futures says: The market for cotton certificates did not pre ■ent many striking features to-day. Really new business proved extremely moderate, and most 'if the trading was confined to an effort to even up with the end of the week, and as longs took a prominent part, the general tone was easier under the excess of offering over the de mand. Liverpool seemed inclined to follow the final break made here last evening, and with some indications of increasing political compli cations abroad there was no aid from the foreign side of the situation, and home influences were unchanged. Still, at B®4 points de cline, buy ing orders were struck to an extent sufficient to stop further shrinkage, and at the close the market was steady.” Galveston, Dec. 17.—Cotton firm; middling 9'.-c; net receipts 2,091 bales, gross 2,091: sales 8,636 bales; stock 110,542 hales; exports, coast wise 3,093 hales.

But the general crowd was only bidding at sls 95. In half an hour the price hid eased off to sls 85. This last figure, however, was a fraction above last night's close, the strength being due to light receipts.
