PRICES ADVANCE ON STOCK MARKET There Was no Opposition and Gains Were Shown in Almost the Entire List of from 1-4 to 1-2. BUT THE TRADING WAS DULL. Even the Gsod Railroad Reports and Announcements of Gold from Europe Failed to Stir Interest Among the Brokers. After an Irregular opening the stock market settled down into a dullness that nothing could dispel. The goo! rail- Toad reports such as Rock Island, and Louisville & Nashville falled to"arouse any enthusiasn, After fifteen minutes of trading the price movement was upward and this continued until well Into the last hour, The amount of business was small. The advance was made because trad- ers id peices up and no opposition was Met. The whole list showed a gain from 1-4 to more than a plont and a half as in American Ire preferred, which made @ gain of 16-8 points. The outside business was very smail. - and the public did mot seem to have any Gesire to buy anything but bonds. The fact that there was no demand for call money and very little for time money at the marked ‘up rates helped the market. ‘When it became known that the Na- tonal City Bank had engaged $1,000,000 ef cold for import there was a little Uvening up and prices made further fractional gains, Some Western houses were active in the market, but they were sellers, and @isposed of several thousand shares of Pennsylyania, It was noticeable that houses with Boston connections were ‘the heaviest buyers of copper. Local tractions were strong for the same reason that Ice was, that is pros- tive favors from Tammany. Brook- yn Rapid ‘Transit gained 13-8 points over Saturday's close, and Manhattan, 1-5.

Bull Leaders Finally Recover from the Surprise of, the First On- slaught of the Bears and Rally to Prevent a Further Stampede. ‘The scene on the Cotton Exchange to- day was in marked contrast to that on the Stock Exchange. Cotton brokers were In a frenzy of excitement, and traders were tumbling over one another in their effort to sell. ‘Those who believe in Jower prices sold freely not ony cotton which they owned, but cotton that they would have to buy to deliver to the purchaser. This selling was 80 heavy and so persistent that prices fell from 14 to 16 points, and all efforts of the bull leaders to stop the stampede were futile. December, which closed at 10.46 Sat- urday, sold down to 10.27 in the first hour, and January from 10.40 to 10.16; March, 10.43/to 10.29; May, 10.48 to 10.34; July, 10.46 to 10,29, ‘The selling was for the short account in anticipation of the holiday to-mor- row. It is this short selling which breaks out in Irregular periods which has enabled the bulls to force up prices and hold them there every time sthe market shows a reactionary tendency, The selling was started by the failure of the predictions for cold weather in the South.
