Which Was Very Firm.
New York. Deo. 23.—There was lit
tle in to-day's stock market to call
for comment. The listlessness and
neglect of the trading 'amounted to
absolute idleness for long intervals.
Aside from the profound dullness the
principal feature of the market was
its strong undertone. There was no
yield in the tendency at any time, and
the slow hardening process established
a number of fair advances.
News was of little importance and
its influence was not discernible in the
movement- The usual forecasts of the
week’s curency movement from the
interior indicated sufficient receipts to
offset the gold exports and sub-treas
ury requirements and establish a cash
net gain of about $2,000,000. The
changes in the loan item at this time
are problematical, but there has been
no sign of any such stock market
liquidation as that which caused last
week’s large loan contraction.
Money Market Satisfactory.
The stats of the money market ef
fectually quiets all interest in show
ings of bank statements at this time.
Money is difficult to place on call, and
the tenders on time are growing more
and more lenient regarding collateral.
Reports of railroad earnings made
further good showings. The dullness
of the market continued up to the
closing, which was very firm.

DRY 0001)8 MARKET.
New York, Dec.'23.—Buying Is prac
tically at a standstill for the time be-'
ing, and the peller as well as the
buyer seems to take little Interest In
the forcing of business. After the hol
iday season, however, It is anticipated
that a considerable Increase In busi
ness should take place, and it is the
belief that sellers should hold firmly
to prices.
I'HIXT CLOTH MARKET.
Fall River, Mass., Dec. 23.—Bales In
the print cloth market for the week
will reach a total of about 60,000
pieces. The feature of the week's trad
ing was a decline of %c In,the gen
eral market from a 3 cent basis to
2%q for regulars. The tone of the
market continues quiet and thus far
the shading of prices by sellers hus not
led to any additional demand for goods.
The fact that Southern mills have
been underselling the market here for
the past few weeka is given as one
of the chief causes of the easing hi
prices.
COTTON SFF.II OIL.
