NEW YORK.—The most notewor thy feature in the market today was ils firmness under the pressure of liquidation, which was in very large volume at the sixteen-cent level. Wall street houses were large sellers, especially those with Western con nections, but the market absorbed all | of It with the loss of only a few points. Such a condition can hardly mean anything else than that consumers, both foreign and domestic, ilndlng it difficult to buy the actual In quan tity sufficient for their needs, are pro jecting themselves further by taking j contracts. I Advices from spot market show an unparalleled demand for this season of the year at such prices and tlio only conclusion to be drawn Is that consumers have at last realized condi tions and look for no decline of Impor tance. This is a view with which we entirely agree and on any moderate easing of prices would buy for much higher prices. ARGO, JESTER & CO. DAVISON & FARGO'S COTTON LETTER. The cotton market closed this af ternoon for the holidays with prices at the highest point touched since the Sully year und no signs of arny weakness. Futures In New York ad vanced 7 to 10 on old crop and 17 to 25 on next crop options today. Fu tures in Liverpool were about 0 up and cotton on the spot there was 8 higher. The official quotation for middling in Augusta Is 15 3-Bc, but we have heard bids 1-1(5 higher. We know that sellers are asking 15 1-2 basis for middling and getting It where there are no low grades In the lota, but If a buyer is expected to take all grades we question If he would pay over a 15 3-8 to 7-16 basis for middling. The changes will not reopen until Tuesday morning. All the indications point, to still higher prices. We wish all our friends a Merry Christmas.—Davison ft. Fargo. LONDON BAR SILVER.

NEW YORK. —Rock Island, Pennsylvania and the coalers led the stock market in Wall street today, with material advances. Pennsyl vania, Rock Island and Lackawanna made new high records, while Read ing and the other coal stocks moved up freely. The reason given for Rock Island’s advance is the old story that the preferred stock will be retired with a bond, leaving the common stock in control of the com pany. At present the common stock votes only for a minority of the board of directors. Pennsylvania Is advancing for the same reason that steel is rising and that is the business out of Pittsburg is phenomenal. Steel shares were quiet. Consolidated Gas showed the effects of profit taking as did Amalgamated, Atlantic Coast Line issues and Union Pacific. There was good buying of Wabash preferred that advanced the price to 60. Coincident with this rise was the old story of a combi nation between the Lehigh Valley, Rock Island and Wabash. On the curb market .the low price porphyries were strong under leadership of Ray Central, which will issue bonds in the Now Year. Brokers had orders for many calls on thousands of shares of Greene- Cananea and they argued from this that the Cole-Ryan group of securi ties is to be taken up shortly. Nevada-Consolidated, Arizona Smelting and Inspiration wore also strong. Accumulation of Rock Island and Wabash was a feature of th« stock market, this afternoon. It was estimated that London bought 25,- 000 shares of the former stock during the day and this buying was ac companied by reports that large calls on the stock had been bought in London. Other slocks held steady. Last Open. High. Low. Sale.
