The changes In tlio dry goods market , though slight , have been gen erally favorable. The moro bullish talk as to the cotton market , based on tlio falling oil' In the receipts , Is reflected In a rather firmer market for cotton staples without resulting In quotable change In prices. The difference seems to bo based on the hope of a general re vival of business Interests.

At the opening ot business on the Stock exchange today u determined - tormined effort wasinado by shorts to depress - press stocks , which was partially successful In the early dealings , The boar campaign was not , however , of long duration , for the conditions did not seem to bo entirely /avor- nblo , and many shorts turned tall nnd begun to cover when they found that the market wus strongly supported. Yesterday's disquieting rumors wcro not revived nnd t ho ulr seemed to bo cleared when U was announced thnt the Holland Trust company the llnanclal rumors yesterday re ferred to as going Into liquidation had assets to ineot nil Its obliga tions. The weakness of the Thornton market for American securities wns a factor in the curly depression hero , nnd there were sales of St. Paul for the London account , which , however , caused a ducllno In these shares of only 1 per cent , which 'wan soon recovered , nnd the Html sales were ' & per cent nbovo yesterday's closo. Sugar wns most actively traded in , nud after uu early advance of per cent was attacked nnd forced down li percent , but the atoclt was strongly supported from the Inside and ( Illicitly rallied on good Utiying , n good deal of which was covortuc of shorts' contracts , and advanced II14 per cent , of which only , ' 4' per caul was lost at the closo. Sugar pre ferred rose H.f per cont. Western Union declined ' per cent In the opening trading nnd then took a sharp upward turn on heavy purchases , said to have boon for the account of nn Inside pool. The advancing low point of the morning wns 2 % per cent and the close was at the highest point of the dav. Now ICugland rose H I" " ' cent In the early dealing , then rose 1'i per ccnttho ( Into buy ing being credited to the Now Ilnvcn Inter est. Tno stock closed at a reaction of > 4 per cent. Distilling Iluctuatod within a margin of % i > or cent , closing > per cent below yester day. Atchtsou was strong on London buyIng - Ing , which induced homo purchases , and 8orcu a gain of % per cent on the day. The general market-wns weak at the opening and reacted a fraction In thu oponlng tiuJ- Ing , but < iulc.uly rallied and nn advance of ' & to l.'tf ' per cent was recorded , the latter tu Heading. lioforo U o'clock a reaction of \ to 1 per cent hud been onVeted , which was moro than recovered within the following h ilf hour. Thou came u slight roacltonary movement , but the market bwuug Into the afternoon with a steady gait , whloh grad- ttnlly gained In stvonctn nnd with nn corn- nlonal reaction Uriiyght prices up to the highest point ofl tl/o day In the llnal deal- Inns. The market closed strong nt nn ad vance of ' 4 to a per cent coinp.ircd with yesterday's ' fltialWiltB. Tlio Post says : iVtstonlny'd frlaht pretty much censed with the close 01 ycstcrdny's market , nnd whatever else may be said of today's Stoclroxchango transactions they were such ns sanfi mop need not ho nshamod of. There was , Indeed , nn occasional sign of unenslucs4 in the lAr bshort Interest , itnd In Ixmlsvlllo nnd Western Union particularly prices recovered substantially. Neverthe less these wore , ! pn. the whole , exceptions. Operators for the decline succeeded during the first half hour -forcing ( mother break In prices , and this movement , obviously ar ranged for the imfpolo of covering shorts , attracted enonjjlr'lrtsli selling to permit many short coutrnots to be promptly covered. The only now contribution to the market news wns the Kock Island's statement of gross earnings for December. This company makes no report of not receipts , a policy , by the way. which Us managers ought thlsycar Uiiqnestlonnbly to alter : hence no dellnlto conclusions could ho drawn from the state ment.
