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. Following wts lead came marked gains

closed at their highest figures. 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,

New York, Dec. 24.—The Sun't cotton review
ear 6: “Futures opened steady, aftrward
slightly Improved, then came a semi-panic, un
der which priocs rapidly declined, closing
barely steady at 15®18 points deoiine from
yesterday's final prioes The market, though
showing some firmness, was hun lrura enough
till after 1 o'clock. 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. The Cotton Ex
change adjourned till Monday in a fever of ex
citement and apprehension. There was nothiug
of importance In the reports from other
markets. Spot was weak and unsettled.”

Chicago, Dec. 44.--Wheat displayed more
streagth to-day, aad there was less disposition
to sell. 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
