New York, Dec. 18.—There was a fair amount of trading on the stock exchange during the morning hours to-day. Gould stocks, as on the several preceding days, were the features. They were heavily pressed for sale from the opening up to 10:50 o'clock am., and un:ler their lead prices were %<ai per cent lower than they closed last evening. Manhattan was the weak est stock and led the decline. Toward 11 o'clock the selling died out and the market became almost stagnant A few of the list were bid up fractionally from the lowest figures, but in the second hour, on the announcement, of further engagements of gold for shipment abroad, there was renewed selling to a moderate extent, un der which prices again declined to the lowest point by midday. The sales for the morning amounted to 1 shares. The principal dealings were in Burlington, Whisky trust and National Starch trusts. The stock market was a little more active after 12 o'clock, and quite number of stocks advanced sharply. The up ward movement was started by the announce* meat that the Minneapolis and St. Louis com inittee have notified the court that they were able to pav the equipments bonds and the fore closure suit was therefore postponed. The Rock Island will rec-lveab Ut $4.0-H),uoo in cash from payment of the Minneapolis and 6t. Louis equipment bonds The announcement caused sharp buying, which extended not only to Rock Inland, but the other leaning stocks, a-jd shorts covered considerably. The Distilling Conmany's directors to-day declared a quarterly dividend of per cent., as was anticipated. Western Union’s executive committee to-day recom mended the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of 1% per cent., and it will be declared by the full board to-morrow.

Futures closed firm. Nkw York, Deo. 18 Liverpool this morning was disappointing, on which our market de clined. Light receipts, however, encouraged buyiug, and a recovery followed, but the im provement was met with liberal offerings and a slight weakness was again developed, attended with a somewhat feverish and unsettled tone. The anti-option bill, which it was now under stood will be called up in the Senate this after noon, was a restraint to both activity and firm ness and caused some disposition to reali/.e In the afternoon the cotton market was active on a steady upward movement in quotations, which resulted before the last hour In advanc ing the list within a few points of last night's final figures, the strength being largely due to reports from Washington that dilatory tactics would be re sorted by the opponents of the anti-option bill in the Senate to prevent its passage. Just be - the close realizing orders resulted tu a de cline, the net result of the day's buslneMs being a loss of 4®6 points on sales of 215,000 bales. The strength of the market to day was in part due to fresh purchases for acoount of western operators, chiefly in Chicago, who have recently been Interested in the market. Trading was kept up at a regular steady pace, but the operations were not marked by any special feature; indeed, the pro ceedings were very monotonous the greater part of the day The nows relative to the ae tion of the Henate on the anti option bill was closely watched, and aside from tbo slow movement of cotton along the Atlantic sea board, indicating that little remains to be marketed, this formed the ohlef topio of discussion on the floor of the exchange. The actual receipts at all ports are 40,862 bales against 52,564 last week and 68,678 last year. The following visitors were registered at the cotton ezobafige to day: L. M. Taylor and W. F. Moore. Orlando. N. G.; E. C. Seckeudorff. Charleston, 8.O.; R. L. Wat son, Petersburg, Va.; E. T. Norris, Baltina one. The mombers of the exchange to day voted to hold no session Dec. 4 and 81. Nkw York, Dec. 13. —The following is a sum mary of Hubbard, Price A Go ’s cotton circulor: sab 8 in Liverpool to-day were6,ooo bales, “Spot opened at an advance of 5-64d but lost the improvement in part and closed 3-64®4-9ld above yesterday. Our cables at tribute the recession a* due to fear of bigger reo“ipts next week and small purchases of spot cotton by spinner#. The slight advance In Liverpool in view of the strength here yesterday, was a distinct disappoint ment to the trade here, and an opening decline of 10 points brought out considerable loug cotton; after the opening the market ral lied slightly, but again sold off until an extreme loss of 1“ rolnts from last night's figures had been established by 11 o’clock. A recovery of and points followed by i o'clock. The recovery was in part due to the receipt of several Liver pool cables advising that the crop prospects in East India were 'css ravoraole, and the supply of oouon available from that quarter would not exceed last year’s production. New York, Dec. 13, noon.—Futures opened irre ular, as follows: December delivery 9 45c, Jauuary delivery 9 46c, February delivery 9 5-c, March delivery 9 69c, April delivery 9 84c, May delivery 9 94c. New York, Dec. 18, noon —The decline cf 2-64d at Liverpool, after an opening of 5-64d advance, caused some nervousness in this marker, and resulted in a loss of 5 points in the first, sale, followed almost imrne iately by further shrinkage, with January s*d ing down to 9 45c, February 9 55c, March 9 66c, April 9 78c, and May 9 86c. At this juncture points advance took place on light sales in the first hour, and an improved business in the second hour, with the chief sales in February and March deliveries. Liverpool's closing sales were at a -rain of 3-61®4-64d for the day. but local traders were not disposed to follow. The feeling here was nervous and hesitating, especially in view of the continued small de mand for spot cotton at Liverpool, to-day’s sales at that point being confined to 6,000 bales, with middling quoted at 5%d. tSpinners abroad, however, are koowu to hold light stocks, and their present small purchases are regarded by the bulls as an element of strength, and must soon be followed by a very active demand. Port receipts to-day were estimated at 40,000 bales, against 48,000 bales last week and 61.000 bales last year. Galveston and Mobile were ahead of lane. New Orleans was 15,000 bales behind. Savannah 4,600 bales and Charleston 1,200 bales. The bear element is laying some stress on the fact that the movement at pres ent does not much Vary from that in 1887, when the crop was 7,000.000 bales; while others are not losing sight of the fact that the present visible supply is about 1,000,000 bales ahead of two year# ago, and the demand from spinners was comparatively light.
