An inch of y tion for the annual settlements and mi - self felt in the stock sveculation. e was made to retrieve the reaction in the late | dealings by vigorous advances in United States Steel stocks and in Southern Pacific and Union | Pacific, but the general list did not respond effectually to this treatment, and prices fell back again, making the closing weak and active, The day’s net changes show some fair Sains in the active list and some striking gains in ‘the inactive specialty list, but the highest prices of the day were not held in ary case and the gains were wiped out in conspie- uous stocks. The flurry in the money market had more effect in suspending the buying and the bidding up process than in inducing any evtensive liguidation. The feverish and ex- cited tone of the cotton market probably re- flected also a process of clearing up for the year-end settlements, It has scarcely been expected that the year vould be turned with no perceptible pinch in the money market, espe- claliy since the revelation of the heavy loan expansion last week. The fact that require- ments for January disbursements call cer- tainly for §135,000.000, and up to an estimated maximum of $150,000,000, points to the inev- jtable necessity of a temporary pinch while this huge sum is changing hands. It was well understood that while the sums accumu- lated in preparation for these needs were lyin on deposit and idle they were put out on call | until they were wanted, with the clear pect_that loans would be called in very volume about the first of January.

Corn had a firm undertone and prices held up well untll late in the day. The Govern- ment's finai estimate on the crop was con- sidered bullish and was the principal factor in_supporiing prices early in the session.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Opening weak at an advance of 1 point 4o a decline of 11 points, the cotton market to-day ruled sensationally active, with fluctuations that for rapidity, vio- lence, breadth and irrexularity have not been east of witnéssed before in the recollection of the | trade. Cables at first were steady, but later eared off under what was describcd as Amerl- can selling and after the local opening prices for the fi liquidation, showing at the end of the first | fifteen minvtes net loeses of about 20 to 25 | points. Following this the local bull leaders | started buying and orices advanced to about the final fizure of last night. During the re- mainder of the morning fluctuations, while irregular, showed a downward tendency until shertly after midday. when they were at about the lowest point s) far for the session, with March selling around 13.91c, May at_lic and July at 14.08c. The market had adonted a rather steady look around this level, when suddenly there came such an outburst of sell- ing as has rarely been seen. In less than no time srices were tumbling, July selling down from 13.0€c to 1250c In two salcs, while March renched 13.35c and May 13.48¢, these being net declines of a littie over %e. Al- most ut _once, however, the biz bulls started buying, the room xecuted a right-about-face, and_ within thirty minutes from the beginning of the decline prices had recovered nearly half of the loss. The market then tamed down | somcwhat _and closed steady at a net decline | of 41 to 53 points. SMles were estimated at 1,500,000 bales. New York Metal Market.

Poultry and Game. Two more cars of Western Poultry were | marketed, making three thus far this week. The demand for Western was steady and fine large stock brought higher prices than on *he pre- ceding day. The market for domestic —iickens | was weak owing to the abundance of Western, but dealers were not trying to force sales and prices were steady. Receipts of dressed Tur- keys were 57 cases, mostly Western. Prime Californian stock was in good request at the maximum quotation, but poor quality offer- ings were dull owing to the competition of old | stock that had been placed in cold storaxe after Christmas. Live Turkeys were dull, but prices were no lower. There was not much doing in Game, and Mallard, Sprig. Wjdgeon and small Ducks | were quoted lower. Hare was suddenly scarce and prices had a sharp advance. - 3 POULTRY—Dressed Turkeys, 15@22¢ per Ib; live Turkeys, 16@18c per 1b; Geese, per palr. $2@2 25; Goslings, $2@2 25.

In addition dry weather 1s beginning to influence the mar- ket as letters of comnlaint on this score are being received from Giiroy, Hollister and other large districts south of the bay.

The demand for well-colored Navel Oranges showed considerable improvement and, although such stock was more plentiful than previously, prices were firmer. ~Several leading dealers were of the opinion that well-colored stock would be cleaned up before the end of the week, as recelpts are expected to be light, and there will be no auction sales until after the turn of the year. Tangerines were in fair re- quest at steady rates and Japanese Mandarins were gradually cleaning up. Grape Fruit was lower under increased receipts and a slack de- mand.
