NEW TORK. Den 23 TodaVs stock mar
ket was only nominal and the greater part
of the day was spent In complete Idleness
by the brokers. Many members lost hop
of any business and betook themselves to
out-of-town points In antlclpstlon of holi
day enjoyments. Ths most vigorous efforts
which the handful of floor traders could
muster had no aniccea in -lifting price and
mere waa no urgent Treasure to sell, witn
the conaeauenca that niicea war inert. A
few stocks moved sufficiently to be dis
tinguished from the general level of semi
stagnation, but even In them the move
ments were, of no consequence. A desultory
speculation waa kept up In the stocks of
new 1 or a public utilities, but tneir ad
vances were feebly held. Operations In
these stocks have been pretty constant ever
sine the November election. Talk of
large earning accompanied the dealing
and In the case of Consolidated Gas there
are suggestions of a satisfactory adjust
ment of claims against ths city for gas.
There was some pressure agalnit Rock
Island and affiliated securities of a kind
which developed last week, when rumor
found acceptance of a pending bond Issue.
On the other hand, some of the Industrials
are inclined to harden on the assumption
that -money will be available after New
Year' to the rallroada to make their equip-
meni . purcnasea. i ne nea vines or tne
London raw copper market may have
caused the slight decline In Amalgamated
Copper after an early advance In that
stock. United Btatea Steel preferred was
the subjection of the customary surmise
as to dividend possibilities, but fell Into pro.
round neglect witn the rest or the market.
Lackawanna reacted from ita recent wide
advance, which waa due to talk of a dis
tribution of surplus. The coaler generally
wer firm oh the contemplation of results
of a year of unexampled prosperity aa a
'hole, rather than on the Immediate out
look., which Is somewhat clouded. The un
certainties of the far eastern war outlook
are a repressive Influence on all the world'
markets, but local sentiment on the subject
reflects no acute apprehensions. There has
been some unostentatious bidding up of
stocks of a dormant class within, the past
few days, ethlch Is ' obviously due-to the
fact that no stock la brought out by the ad.
Vance bids made.
It does not escape notice that the higher
evei 01 prices win causa a material lm
provement In the showlnr of annual bal
ance sneets or many of the great financial
Institution, whoae surplus accounts In
vestments was deenlv Impaired, eatimated
on ths baste of market quotatlona existing
at on time since tne last annual state
ments. 1 ne improved showing thus se
cured le supposed to furnish the motive for
some or the advances effected in price,
espep'aly where no severe selling pressure
is met on xne aavance.

quiet. Then suddenly the list was thrown
Into wild excitement by heavy buying
order from New Orleans and a sharp
Jump In the market, while the local bull
eader also began supporting the market
aggressively. The advanoe wa accom
panied by rumors of a leak in the censu
bureau report.-which Is expected around
the first tot ths- year nd is expected to
show the amount of cotton ginned up to
December 14. According to rumors current
on the noor tnia report woula show- that
some 2,G00,m0 bales of cotton have been
ginned to December 14 and point to a crop
of 9.it).0u0 bales. The rumor -waa that the
amount of cotton remaining to be ginned
would approximate -7 per cent. In this
connection a letter ha been received by
a local house . from the director of the
cenaue stating tbat.no estimate would be
made oi cotton remaining to re ginned.
The alleged leak waa backed up by very
aggressive tactica on the part of the bull
