The stock market was moderately active to day, and strong ail the way out, after a de cidedly weak opening, coal stocks being the special features of the trading. There were some pressure to sell for Loudon account, which made a weak opening, butthougu the bears and professionals put out some fresh short lines, there was good buying by cliques, and to a moderate degree by commission houses. Humors were early circulated that the strike on Reading was about to collapse, w.jich stimu lated purchases for speculative account, an . on confirmation of the rumor shorts in coal stocks especially swelled the number of buyers. Deal ings in Reading were attended by consideraole excitement in the early morning, but Lacka wanna afterward took the load and shot up rapidly, carrying the general list boyoud I lie best prices of Sat urday. The prompt and firm action of the Reading Company did a great deal to restore and preserve confidence, and no halt was made In the upward movement when once fairly started. The news of the day, beyond that mentioned, was not of special importance and hail little effect upon prices. Among other stocks, which became noticeable for strength, was Missouri Pacific and Canada Southern, though the amount of business done in either was small.

Green * Co.’s report on cotton futures says: “On the market the holiday influence continues to a considerable extent, and business shows very little beyond local deals The general tone to-day, however, has been pretty firm, and the cost averaged higher throughout. At first matters looked a little toppy, but with some strong bidding from one or two operators, the turn of values was forced oi au upward scale, and 708 points gain secured. Firmer Liverpool accounts and rather light receipts possibly helped the tone somewhat, but the move was evidently principally manipulation, and by some thought to be in anticipation of the issue of January notices. Some 708 points covered the entire advance over Friday evening, anil after the bidding censed, a greater portion of this was lost with the close, which was steady, but the movement dull.” Galveston, Dec. 27.—Cotton steady; middling 9%c; net receipts 1,6)7 bales, gross 1,637: sales none; stock 162,440 bales; exports, coastwise 3,668 baler.
