The stock market completed a short but active week to-day with the largest business of the week and a strong tone throughout the list, with special buoyancy in a few stocks, which were aided by special causes. Business was specially large, in view of the fact that London had a holiday, but foreign houses were liberal buyers,especially of Richmond and West Point, and while a great deal of strength “Ctivlty was accredited ia some quarters to the cover ing of shorts, there was no lack of buying by insiders in more prominent shares, but there was a liberal sprinkling of outside business as well. In the early trading Now and ork Central became the leader, its substantial upward movement, by wbicb it attained the bsst prices reached on the present advance, being: otcele rat**d by further rumors in regard to tbe sire of the ext'adividendlexpeoted on tbe sock next week.

The whole list, however, soared in the improvement, and after the firs: foe minutes there was no hesitation of any kind, prices steadily appreciating fur all kinds of securities throughout tne day. The opening was rather tame at irregular changes from last night's priees, but the strength and activity In New York Central, in addition to the character of the buyiag, soon started the list on _an upward march, and while the stocks men tioned came forward and retired in turn, the strength of the market was not impaired for the moment. Realizations were still plentiful, but the demand was most urgent at all times, an 1 the afternoon saw uoue of the usual dull ness in comparison with the business of the forenoon Tne close was active and strong at top figures, and gave promise of th • continua tion of the movement on tne reopeuing of the exchange next Monday.

There was a slictat advance, but this was regarded as proceeding wholly from covering of contracts and the unwilling ness of some to go home ‘short.' Soon after 1 o'clock tbe crop estimate was placed on the bulletin, putting the total at 3.490,0 DJ bales; then trouble began Prices receded decorously and rgther slowly for the first 10 points, but when Outsiders got news some panic set in, which caused a quick drop of another K> points or more Tim leading bears attacked the sum mer months with much vigor.

Tbe liberal engagements at New York yesterday, the rumors of an a:vanning cold wave, and later strong and turner cables from tbe continent started shorts to covering and de velop-sl some investment buying on the theory that it bad been going one way long enough During the last boor the market eased off some, with trade very dull. Mav opened at *6‘c. advanced 97%c, and closed at *4c. Corn was strong and higher. The pressure of long com on the market seems to be over for the Present, and shorts were more generally disposed :o coyer. There was also a feeling on the part of the specu'ators that about all the break which could be ex pected had taken placa and that purchases for tbe up turn were ordered. Dunug the dosing hour trade was very slack, and pri.-es reacted somewhat. January opened t 41%c, sold up to 4266 c, and dosed at 41)60. 1 lats were quiet and firm, and without feature The receipts of hogs were moderate, with prices fairly well maintained, and the re cent decline induced increase 1 buying orders, with the result that the market was firm dur ing most of the day and a somewhat higher range of prices was reached. Estimated re ceipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 180 cars; corn, 250 cars! oats, 150 cars: hogs, 30.000 head. The board will not hold another session until Monday next Chicago.
