The stock market to-day has been duller than on any previous day this year, and the trans actions entirely professional, being for the most part without character or significance. Fluctua tions were confined to the narrowest limits, most of the list showing less than 54 per cent, between extreme prices of the day, while only four stocks fluctuated as widely as 1 per cent. Richmond and West Point was prominent for strength, though it was not till late in the day that it began to move. A sharp spurt in Hock ing Valley was the feature of the late trading, and its price was advanced 154 P*? r cent., closing at the best figure. The opening was rather heavy, and the market exhibited little more animation than yesterday at that time, and prices shaded off small fractions, butt lie list soon rallied. Kansas and Texas became the fea ture, but the remainder did not res|iond to tile strength shown in that stock, and prices until well into the afternoon were on a slightly lower than those of the opening. Union Pacific had a weak spell, but rallied later with the rest. The closing was dull at Irregular changes, but the only important differences is in Hocking Valley, which is up 154 percent. Total sales 98.000 shares. The following were the closing quotations: Ala.classA, 2 t 05.105 New Orleans Pa- Ala, class B, ss. .110 eifle, Ist mort... 7554 Georgia7s, mort.. 105* N.

Green A Co.'s report on cotton futures says: “Costs have averaged somewhat lower, and the market presented a somewhat weary look during a portion of the day, but after losing 5@6 points, recovered, and closed with a steadier tone at about last evening’s rates. Fairly full port receipts and want of strength at Liverpool were the discouraging features at the outset, and induced further sales of long cotton, but finding the supply readily taken up, a re actionary feeling set in, with the result as noted. There does not appear to be much really new business coming in, the movement being largely of a liquidating character pre paratory for the holidays.' ’ Galveston, Dec. 20.—Cotton quiet; middling 9%c; net receipts 3.-151 bales, gross 4,388; sales 143 bales; stock 99,464 bales; exports, to the continent 6,094 bales, coastwise 4,152.
