The stock market, while dull to-day, was still more active than on any previous day this week, which was somewhat of a surprise to most of the operators. Its tone was firm to strong in the forenoon, but heavy to weak later. There was some buying by London in the early trud • ing. and considerable buying for suort account followed, aud under a spurt in Chicago, Dar lington and Quincy other specialties advanced materially. Tne old story iff trouble with em ployes on Reading, coupled with a rumor that the syndicate were selling out its stock, was circulated, and the result was a break in that stock, which dragged all the rest down, and the gains of the morning hours wore generally lost before the close. News of the decision in favor of IPicking Valley against its former officers in duced a sudden spurt in that stock late in the day, but the general list for the most part was devoid of feature throughout and sunk back into the usual listlessness, while a few stocks monopolized the Interest in transactions. Man hattan was the weak spot again, though it was extremely dull throughout. The opening was firm at advances extending to ?9 per cent, and ou bet ter business than hud iieon seen so far his week advanced steadily until after 11 t’clock, when best price:< generally were reached Hocking Valley and Burlington and Quincy caused some excitement, m the market, which, however, soon disapjieared when the attack upon Reading began. Transactions in the last named stock were very heavy from that time, while the remainder showed a steadily increasing volume of business, with a heavy tone. The market closed dull and rather heavy at but in significant changes from first prices. Bales of the day aggregated 902,000 shares. Most of the list, as compared with last evening’s prices, are small fractions higher, but Chicago. Burlington and Quincy is uo 2 per cent, aud Hocking Valley I©, while Manhattan is down 1)4 per cent.

Green & Co.’s report on cotton futures says: “Cotton certificates iiave not shown much ani mation nor any great amount of fluctuation in value, and on the whole appearances were steady. The market, however, was c* idently simply held up by the longs, as no really new demaffd came in. Local short interest did not appear to amount to much, and two or three leading operators simply stood around the circle and put in their bids whenever it became necessary to stay the declining tendency. At the close near months were about the same as last evening and distant months a fraction higher, with the tone dull. Liverpool was with out much encouragement and the South sending no new features.” Galveston, Dec. 22.—Cotton firm; middling net receipts 2.523 bales, gross 3,522; sales 1,325 bales; stock 104,201 bales.
