on any day for a long time, showing the evident
broadening character of the market. Coal

made except in Lackawanna and Erie, which
then became prominent, but toward 2 o'clock
the general list again moved forward, and in
the last hour another general advance took
place, in which the highest prices of the day
were reached in most of the list. The market

ports and interior towns have been very large,
and with liquidation of local spot interest on
Saturday, the market was left without support,
but the bears failed to take advantage of the
lieavy movement by making any attempt to in
crease their short line, and we go over the
Christmas holiday without any decided feeling
in the market.''

Rice.
The New York Shipping and Commercial
List of December 2t says; The demand m
domestic sorts has dwindled duwu to hand to
inoutb prnpertlons. and no enlargement is an
tlcipated until after the holidays. Prices are
nominally unchanged, but where parcels have
to be |>rc>mplly placed, eoncevsioua are easily
secured. Advicee from the Carolina* and
Georgia note that present receipts show an un
usually large per cent, of light rice, aud the
present outlook is that the crop will be short of
lasi year The ratio 0/ movement Is ahead, and
this fact leads to encourage many planters to
bold until spring, at wblcb lime 9 m 1-XI lee ted
much higher range of values wilt be realized.
The movement In cleaned lu New Orleans Is
■low, but holders are indifferent, as opininu
maintains that the demand will be gi eatly In
creased un mediately after the Ist. The lat ter,
together with the actual knowledge that millers
have short stocks, is also tending to contribute
unusual strength to rough. Foreign styles are
dull, but quotations oil spot stock* are strong,
as no re supplies are securable, except at much
higher rates. Imports have been discontinued,
as such would be made in the face of possible
loss Latest information respecting crops of
the East Indies and Japan are confirmatory In
