I10STON, Dec. 2G. Tho American Wool
nnd Cotton Reporter In Its annual review of
tho wool situation In tho United States
gives tlio stocks of wool In this country, ex
clusive of innnufneturers' holdings, ns 252,
217.339 His., HH compared with 167.39S.S79 lbs.
a year ngo.
Tho stocks In tho three principal markets
of tho United States Boston. New York
nnd Philadelphia amount to 183,350,1S9 lbs.,
ns compared with 113,293,739 lbs. last year,
Tho Btocks of wool In Ronton aro lin,019,0S(
lbs., as compared with fi'5,113,743 last year.
This largrc Increase in stocks on hand Is
accounted for by the comparatively limited
demand for wool this year, Increased In
portatlons of foreign wools nnd the fact
that only a very small percentago of this
year's clip has yet boon disposed of to
mnnufocturerH. Wools have been held back
to an unusuullv largo extent this year In
tho country. Thin Is exceptionally truo of
tho llceco wool sections cast of tho Missis
sippi river.
Tho wool production of tho country is
gls-en at 281.I52.4S7 lbs. Imports of wool Into
Boston have been 58.723.032 lbs., ns compared
with ai.3T2.401 lbs. last year. Tho sales of
wool In thn Unston market since January
1 amount to 170.100,100 lbs., us compared
with 317.183,770 lbs. last year. In other
words, tho volume of business has been
considerably less thnn half ot that of lust
year.
Tho year 1900 will nnss Into history as
ono of tho cuilotost ami most unsatisfactory
periods over experienced In tho wool trade.
Depression hns characterized tho situation
both at homo and abroad. The featuro has
been tho Increased substitution of cotton
for wool nml a preference for tho medium
for lower grades of wool ns distinguished
from the lino grades.
As to tho business of tho Jost week It has
presented but fow features of Interest call
ing for special mention. The demand has
been ns largo us was expected In a holiday
season and has run principally to terri
tories, unwashed fleeces and scoured wools.
Tho sales amount to about 2,fA,0oo lbs, nnd
represent qulto a largo number of transac
tions, Prices, while favoring tho buyer, nro
not sultlclently changed to warrant any

MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AM) IIOMIS.
Stocks Are Up, Down nnd .Steadied
- Kill n All In it Diiy.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. The stock market
went through some vicissitudes today, but
Its most astonishing phaso was tho limit
recurrence of tho undertone of strength
which has coma Into support ttio market bo
persistently of lato nnd driven off all
moods of depression. After opening with a
skyrocket advanco in price, followed by a
drop very llko the skyrocket stick, ttio
market gathered Itself together again and,
Ignoring tlio continued pressure of liquida
tion which continued in force at somo
points. It resumed Its Irregulur show of
strength, tho straggling new points of
strength being unnffected by the weakness
at others. Thu sharp reaction nt mid
session wus duo more than anything elso to
tho extremely doubtful character of somo
of tho opening advances. Tho character of
tho stocks affected and tho vl'olunco of tho
Jump In prices gavo a suggestion of specu
lative debauch such as Is tho Invariable ac
companiment of tho culmination of a bull
market. Professional traders havo been
constantly on thu lookout for the signs of
such a culminutloh and they sold tho mar
ket eagerly on thu opening rise. Theso
openings wero supplemented 'by 'tho very
liberal prollt tuklng on Interests long on
tho market. This period of tho market took
on an appearance of general weakness,
prices crumbling throughout tlio list. Tho
surprising opening, gains in a number of In
dustrial specialties und n few railroad
stocks weru very generally wiped out and
somo of tho Important railroad stocks had
fallen from it fraction to a point below
Saturday's closing level. Tho violent break
In tho Northern Pacillc stocks had a largo
lnlluonco In the decline, as tho unbridled
speculation In tlio Hilmu issues lias been thu
salient point of tlio market for days back.
Tho report that tho common stock would
bo retired January 1 wns the cause of tho
break, ns It would take the reason for tho
recent speculation. Tho common stock was
carried down an extremo 3Vi nnd tho pre
ferred nearly 3 points. A 0 per cent call
money rnto exercised tho cautious feeling
and tlio relapso to 5 per cent luter In tho
day was an Important element In tho rally.
Tho substantial character of tho buying
orders encountered nt tho declluu dlscour
nged tho betirs and their buying to cover
helped tho rally. It had Its Inception In
tho local traction stocks, which wero nil
very strong, with nccompnnylng rumors of
consolidated control. Missouri Pacillc.
Reading llrst preferred, People's Gas und
Sugar were also conspicuous features of
tho loto recovery. Tho closing wus very
Irregular but with thu unclertonn strong.
Tho opening outburst wns palpably duo in
lurgu purt to manipulation and wns ex
plainable by tho busy operations of Hpectl
latlvo cliques during thu holiday Interval
In making dcmoiistruttvo bids for almost
any amount or the stock!) affected, without
any actual transactions being involved ns
a restraining lulluence. Tho opening of
prices In lirooklyu Transit varied nearly 3
points on an extremo advanco of 6 and
thorn were wldo openings on running sales
In Tennessee Conl, Sugar, St. Paul, Erlo
llrst preferred and Atchison. Tho extremo
gains In theso stocks ran from 2 to over
5 points, except Erie, llrst preferred, which
was at no tlmo moru than a fraction over
SatiM-day. There .scenicd to bo plenty of
funds available for borrowers und lenders
show themselves anxious to put out money
on time, having in mind the coming dis
bursement of tho yearly dividends and in
terest and tho promise of lower rates, whilo
borrowers show a preference for cull loans.
Tho turn of tho interior currency move
ment in favor of Now York and continued
gains by tho New York banks from thu
subtrcasury on account of largo premiums
on government bonds and untlclpatory pay
ment In tho government glvo a feeling of
nssuranco that tho year will bo turned
without trouble In tho money market.
Tho railroad bond market was active nnd
showed only u few weak snots. Total salos,
par'value, $1,410,000. All United States gov

Cotton Mnrket,
NEW YORK, Dec. 2G.-COTTON-It lias
been ninny days since cotton speculation
has been conllued lo tho meager dealings
recorded on 'change during today. Fltictu
ntlons wero hardly in harmony with tho
apathy, reaching a mutter of 11 points. On
tho llrst call tho feeling wns. steady, but
few trades were made in tho nbsenco of
news from tho English market, which was
Mill closed. Prices wero unehangnl to 2
points higher 011 llrst sulcs nnd for tho rest
of tho forenoon did not vnry llvo points.
Tho room 'element wns seriously handi
capped by scarcity of orders from tho
puhllo nnd tho foreign contingent nnd by
lnsulllclent information from tho crop coun
try. The nfternoon session wns somewh.it
more Interesting In the way or changes In
vnlucs. Soon after the noon hour nn esti
mate for largo receipts nt New Orleans
tomorrow led to nervous light selling,
which came at a tlmo when buyers wero
few and far between, Prlcci suffered ac
cordingly nnd broke some eight to fourteen
points from the best level of tho ino'rtilng,
Thero wus nothing in tho way of excite
ment. Soon afterward tho pit presented
1111 Inanimate spectnele nnd for the rest of
tho day business dragged wearily, while
(luctuatlonH wero confined to n point or so.
Shorts wero made nervous by fears of a
"squeeze" In Jntiunry nnd March and by
reports thnt ilcflrablc graden of spot cotton
in tho south were scarce nnd hold nt u
slight premium. Tho market closed barelv
steady, with prices net unchanged to 11
points lower.

CATTLE The run at this market wus
rather less than anticipated. Packers.
owing to light receipts so far this week,
wero wanting supplies, and, ns the demand
was brisk, prices on handy fnt steers ruled
steady to stronger. Coarser and half-fat
stuff was purchased to 1111 in at practically
unchanged prices. Tho market was reasona
bly actlvo und ilrm throughout.
Thero was little change In thn market on
cows nnd heifers. Receipts wero only fair
and tho general tono of tho market fully
steady throughout. Thin old stock nnd
canning grades also sold about steady
owing to tho limited Biipply.
Thero Is no Improvement In tho market
for stock cattle, l'ard traders aro holding
off until after the closo of tho year and aro
purchasing sparingly. If nt all. Light Mock
ers nro weak sellers and tho trado nil
around shows holiday dullness. Represent
ative sales:

IIOOS Tho market was actlvo and 5c
higher on best light and butcherwelsht
grades with early sulcs on abovo grades
ut $4.90I4.93. Heavy packing and common
light and medium grades opened slow at
barely steady prices, and the market cloied
dull and weak, with advance mostly lest
all around. .it.. .....
Receipts wero small, but notwithstanding
this buyers of packing grades were de
cidedly bearish and after tho choice loads
of medium and light hogs had sold tho
market completely llattoncd out nnd trado
became very dull and weak. Early sales
of light and medium hogs wTiro largely at
SI !iCKh4.95, and at the closo n round $4.90.
Heavy packing hogs sold weak at $i.85W
4.87, about tho samo iib Monday, with
cholco heavies around $1.90. The market
closed extremely dull nnd wonk at bottom
prices. Jiepreueiuuwvc puiun.
