By C. W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—A strong tone,

sulted. I nion Pacific made the best gain
of the standard railroad stocks, rising 2%.
Canadian i’acitle, Amalgamated Copper

in the late forenoon and substantial gains
were made throughout the list. Union

i
i i YORK, Dec. 20.—1 n face of a
1 bullish government report the cotton mar
-1 ket here opened barely steady today,
with prices showing irregularity, being 10
points lower to 2 points higher than last
night's close. The census report shows
1 figures for the total ginned bales up to
December 13 at 12*.424.853, against 11,844,-
- 432 bales to December 1. showing bales
5 ginned for the period of 580,421.
This report was merely a .stand-off, in
the opinion of the majority of traders. Il
- was said that anything under 600,000 bales
would be bullish, but sentiment at the
- outset was against the market, end the
ring sold freely with the large spot in-
- terests buyers. However, their purchases
were limited and prices lost 4 to 11 points
within the first fifteen minutes. After
the call the absorption was of a better
- character and prices rallied 2 to 7 points
from the early decline.
1 At the close the market was steady
with prices a net decline of Ufa 20 points
from the final quotations of Thursday.
