NBW YOHIC , Di-c. 31. Today's market for
slocks was very dull nnd net chances for Hie
most wen * trivial , and wen * divided without much
Hctnblaiico of consistency or order. The looil

the cusc for many days past , nnd they rose at ,

the belief that they would In-ncllt even If the

Brooklyn rapid transit enjoyed a special advan
tage from the reiwrted judicial decision denying
an injunction against tlio use of the western
bridge terminus for a loop. This stock was at
one time 1 > 4 nbjve last night's level and main
tained 11 point of this gain. Sugar was nl o a

notably strong were HutTalo , Itovheslcr & Pitts-

activity In the gninger , with early ytreiiRth ,
Durllnglon crossing par , but later recessions tar

apprehension cau il by yesterday's icporln that
the ItrltUh nnvnl ieerve bad been ordered out.
Ilrltlnli consols advanced n fraction In Ijondon ,
an unfailing biromeler n peaceful outlook.
The Himness of the wheat market also relieved
the uneasiness In speculative circles ovei the
outeomo of the creat December deal. The b.ink

with the Union Puclllc operation as to offer no
Indication of the drift of general conditions. Thq

room traders end outside Intercut has been In-
signlllcant. Ynrlous causes have contributed to
the irultness. The holiday scncon has kept many
dealers out of the markets. Den'e s In the mar
ket have the habit common to all bnMmm men
of closlnB up all accounts with Ihe enil of the
year us far us possible and of taking account
of fondlllons before enlering uun | new ventures.
There has been liquidation of speculative no-
counts during the week In accordance with this
custom , the effect of wnleh has been In the
specialties recently the favorites In speculation.
I'rollt taking In the nto"ks of lucal corporations

bilcr developments have resulted In lecoverles.
The decisive faclor In rettrlctliiK speculation ,
however , has been Ihe bliffness of rates for
money and an apprehension of a nquoezo at the
close of the year an upprehciurlon that has
grown less and less as the week processed.

CATTUI3 The receipts of cattle were very
llKht apaln today , the situation belnn about
the same as yesterday. The fact Is , there
have not been enough cattle In the yards
this week to make any real test of the
market. Fat cattle have sold at RtrotiB
prices all the week , as compared with the
prices paid at other market points , but the
demand has ocen ot sucn small proportions
that there has been no Kreiit activity to
the trade. Under present conditions there
can be little doubt but what prices on
killing cattle would break all of 25c If there
was anything like a good run.
Today was barren of new features of Im
portance , the market showing little change
as compared with yesterday. Some pretty
goid steers sold up to ? 4.ri5 , but there was
nothing as good as yesterday's top cattle.
Cows and heifers sold In about the same
notches aa yesterday , and the offerings were
all taken early.
Stockers and feeders wore also steady and
the market was without Interest. Hcpresen-
tatlve sales :
