•llie calendar year In commercial cir
cle/closed without displaying any unua
u,l features. The holiday spirit Is pretty
u ally felt in local trade at the moment,
a' l as a result very little is being done.
Tri din.g in the naval stores market was
ictive, and the same may be said ot
Joiion and the various ether products ac-
Uc.'ly dealt in. The cotton futures mar
-1,, t closed steady with prices net 1 to Hi
points higher.
The naval stores market has reached a
pjnt in its decline whlcti impresses upon
1 , tors the importance of some united
, u .tion later on If the downward course
of the market is to be arrested. For some
time past an improvement has been looked
p r in both rosins and turpentine, but
conditions have been such as to depress
Ih( market, rather than impart strength
sufficient to cause a rally. With the mar
),. t possesion little statistical strength
t 0 enable it to resist pressure, the stock
on hand being nearly twice what it was
for this time last year, factors do not be
, . v , [pat a united movement to check
1 ,i, dine among the remotest of possi
j, li; ,s. Single-handed lights against
lower prices are fruitless, and for this
j. 13 on a united movement will be neces
,i[ V in case prices drop below an ac
,o] itable level. Unless united action
weie brought about the chances are that
, fast as headway was made it would be
jost by selling by those not co-operating
with the balance. , .
.Stock closed up hard against the end
of the year and the century. Records
W, re broken in many issues, which were
dealt in largely at the opening. The
wholesale markets closed steady. Ihe

bear circlets. A slow fire of covering was
in progress all day, and sufficed to keep
prices well above the level of Saturday
noon. The Liverpool market remained
closed, and this fact tended to make both
factions cautions. However, news that
the China political situation had cleared
up remarkably within the last twenty
four hours, together with reports that
New England mills had had a most pros
perous year in 1900, effectually cheeked
selling for short account, and prompted
holders to stand off for further develop
ments. The near months were relatively
the firmest on the list from opening to
closing. The market was finally steady
with prices net, 4 to 10 points higher.

COTTON LETTERS
New York, Dec. 31.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Our market ruled very firm to-day, in
view of the fact that Liverpool was closed
and receipts were rather liberal. The lo
cal bulls, both in New Orleans and New
York, were the main support, absorbing
offerings on realizing sale, particularly
for Southern account. There was really
no new features in to-day's market, stock
or certificate stock in New York has in
creased some during the past two weeks
and now amounts to about 29,000 bales.
Our market will be closed to-morrow cn
account of New Year. Estimated port
receipts, 39,000 bales, against 14,000 last
year. New Orleans expects to-morrow
4,000 to 5,000 bales/ against 3,780 last year;
Houston, 10,500 to 11,500 bales, against 9,981
last year.
New York, Dec. 31.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: Our market advanced during
the morning on bdying for Western and
Wall street account on the promise of
an early settlement of the Chinese ques
tion. On the advance the Southwest were
free sellers, supplying the buyers. Fur
ther realizing by the local buyers caused
a reaction. Receipts for the semi-week
ly promise to be 65,000, against 46,000 last
week. The disposition is to await devel
opments in Manchester next week, and
the trade are generally without interest
over the new year. For January delivery
cotton is pointing here in small quanti
ties. and the premium on that position
offers a fine opportunity to deliver, and
replace with contracts at from one to
three dollars a bale discount, without
calculating the expense of carrying the
cotton in warehouse.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Dec. 31.—The market to-day
had a worn and distinctly holiday appear
ance In all departments. There have been
very few buyers here and store trade
ruled Inactive throughout. Mall orders
moderate and, aggregate sales indifferent.
There has been no new features anywhere
and prices are without change. The mar
ket will be closed to-morrow.
NAVAL STORES.
Monday, Dec. 31.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE—The turpen
tine market closed firm to-day at 35c,
with sales at the 7 opening call of 834
casks. Whether the market has struck
bottom in its descent, or is to go still
lower, is a matter of doubt among the
trade. By its steady drooping tendency
for the past few weeks the market has
dropped to a point which* emphasizes to
factors the necessity for some united
action in an effort to arrest the downward
course, If It continues downhill at its
present pace. Over 40,000 casks in stock,
against 28,000 last year, makes the statis
tical position so overwhelmingly in favor
of buyers as to convince factors that the
trade may have to get closer together if
recessions are to be successfully arrested.
But there are many who think the bottom
has been struck, though, the reason is not
explained. There were unconfirmed re
ports that stuff was sold on Saturday
above 35c. The inquiry was light to-day,
however, and the closing did not siiow a
very wholesome trading in progress. The
day’s receipts were 678, and the exports
2,716.
ROSlNS—t’ales dropped off again to
day, the declines of a day or so since
being repeated. Grade N declined 15c, W.
G. 25c, and W. W. 26c, making declines of
30c on N., and 50c each on W. G. and W.
W. within the past week. Other grades
closed firm and unchanged. Limited in
quiry was made for rosins, and the day
closed featureless. The receipts were

STOCKS AND RONDS.
Price* Close Up Hard Against the
End of the Year.
New York, Dec. 31.—The year closed on
the Stock Exchange with the buying
power of the market well maintained, as
is evident from the volume of the day’s
business and from a survey of the net
changes for the day. In a number of im
portant stocks these are Impressive.
The full strength of the market was not
maintained to the close and prices show
ed a tendency to slip back during the lat
ter part of the day, in spite of the sus
taining force of the extraordinary
strength in a few stocks, but the closing
day of the end of the year and of the
century was nevertheless signalized by
the highest prices for the year or for all
past time in not a few stocks, _ The most
conspicuous of these was Pennsylvania,
which opened wllh an upward rush un
der a congestion of buying orders which
called for no less than 10,000 shares to, be
Immediately purchased at the opening.
This carried the price up to 149%. The
price got back to the high point again
after the opening rush, but did not hold
and closed nearly a point lower.
St. Paul crept up perilously near to
Pennsylvania’s level, selling at one tlm*
only % below the great trunk line stock.
The absorption of Northern Pacific was
very heavy, the price rising at the open
ing 3% over Saturday under fl competing
rush of orders to buy at the market.
Later In the day. there was a recrudes
cence of strength in the Erie stocks un
der the Influence of the semi-official an
nouncement of the terms of the bond is
sue for financing the purchase of the
! Pennsylvania Coal Company. Tho first
j preferred stock was rushed u;> to 63%,
| which was 5% over Saturday. Tho price*
j of all three of the stocks mentioned were
j high above -H previous record*. The ,
same was true of other stocks in the
railroad list, but the general movement
otherwise was to a large extent In sym
pathy with the movement in this group.
This specialized strength also served as
a sustaining force for a very large
amount of profit-taking, as has constant
ly been the case recently.
After the manner in which London's
weakness was ignored on Saturday, the
apprehensions of trouble there to-day
were not looked to for much effect here.
But the unexpectedly favorable aspect of
affairs there did not serve as a fillip to
the market and London buying here was a
factor of strength, although there were
sufficient selling for that account in oth
er stocks to leave the buying on balance
only small.
The strength of the sterling exchange
market In face of London buying hero
was very significant. Commercial bills
of exchange against both cotton and grain
are reported rather scarce and It is prob
able there is some demand for exchange
for remittance of annual obligations to
London. But the special demand for
sterling is probably to be explained by
the lending of New York money in Lon
don. The exigencies of the Ixindon mar
ket and the abundance of funds in New
York, In spite of all the extraordinary de
mand, point to such a process being in
progress.
The year closed with a 6 per cent, call
loan rate only momentarily maintained. It
ran oft ufterwards to 5 per cent, and
lower. This was partly due to the fact
that many loans last Friday were made
to carry over until Wednesday.
There was some diminution in the buy
ing of bonds and prices declined in some
portions of the list, while advancing at
others. Total sales, par value, $4,376,000.
The notable relapse in the prices of, gov
ernment bonds Is a significant reminder
that the price premium commanded by
the process of refunding into the new 2's
is no longer payable by the government,
the refunding operations ceasing to-day.
United States old 4's, declined 2%, s's 1%.
3's coupon 1%, do registered 1%, 2's %, and
new 4's % per cent, on the last call.

New York, Dec. 31.—The upward move
ment which was in progress In the stock
market ot the close of business on 9at
urday, was resumed in noteworthy pro
l>ortions on the opening of business thin
morning. Speculative Interest was fav
orably Influenced by the fact that the
London market appeared to be recovering
from the scare induced by the numerous
failures announced 1 on Saturday. No ad
ditional insolvencies were reported. Lon
don quotations for Americans showed gen- |
eral and eubatnnthd advances, the gains
iu some insluucvtt being in excess u£ one ;

per cent. A further very favorable In
fluence In the market was the showing
made by the hanks in their weekly state
ment on Saturday, which was assumed
to indicate that there was little further
danger of anything approaching mone
tary stringency. There wan otherwise
virtually nothing of a financial nature in
the news from Saturday.
As regarded the general market, or
particularly stocks, Interest centered large
ly in the railroads in which some imrtlc
ularly rapid advances were scored. North
ern Pacific was a conspicuous feature In
an advance extending to two i>oints in
both the common and preferred shares.
Union Pacific was likewise notably strong
and' active. The dealings In the Grang
ers were unusually animated. St. Paul
was again notably strong and active,
while Burlington, after opening higher,
reacted sharply. Pennsylvania was a
conspicuous feature of the higher priced
stocks in a notably sharp advance. Other
stocks In which the advances attained
noteworthy proportions were the Atchi
sons, Louisville and Nashville, Baltimore
and Ohio and Delaware and Hudson.
Among the lower stocks. Southern com
mon and Texas Pacific were decidedly
firm. Sugar was the active feature of
the day. After opening decidedly higher,
the stock showed a somewhat reactionary
tendency. Southern Pacific was the only
feature of the railroad list in which pres
sure was noted. The Industrial quarter,
aside from Sugar, was comparatively neg
lected, and the dealings in the local trac
tion shares were also overshadowed by
the railroad list. •
