NEW TORK. Dee. 3. The stock market
for the most pert, continues In a state of
hibernation, practically all of the circu
lsttnn In today's market waa within the
Stork ei change body Itself, without sny
perceptible share trom outside sources.
The feature of the day's news wss the
Increase announced In the Lake Shore
semi-annual dividend from to 4 per cent.
The other Vanderbllts responded to this
news snd It had a mild tonic effect on the
general market. The 1 points drop In Lake
fcjle at Western waa a marked exception
among the Vanderbiits. As a Lake Shore
controlled company, the Lake Shore divi
dend Increase seemed without encouraging
effect on Lake Erie at Western Stockholm
era, on the supposition tnat the benefit
from operation to the controlling company
would be a llrst consideration. The yearly
statement of tha Lake Shore earnings was
the subject of wide-spread comment in
connection with the dividend increase, the
surplus after charges and dividends (partly
estimated) falling to I7M.01S. compared
with .S2.0H for the previous year. The
movement In the Vanderbilta and the ap
pearance of the earnings statements of
the various Vanderbllt roads revived dis
cussion of the necessities of the New York
Central to be flnaneed In connection with
the extensive terminal Improvements
timiected In this citv.
The subject of future railroad bond issues.
was keupt alive by the suppositions as to
the disposition of the proposed Rock Island
consolidated refunding Issue of fcSO.tuw.two.
Any rumors on this subject were various
and rnnnlctina as between the adoption of
the plan, ita complete rejection and the
Issue of a separate mortgage on unlionded
property of the system for more immedi
ate needs. The general contention that
heavy borrowings by various railroad sys
tems for the nuroosa of funding; temporary
loans and for other purposes are ahead of
the money market Is a prims factor In
aggravating' the holiday dullness of the
trading. Another is the far eastern wsr
cloud, which Is casting a shadow over the
worlds financial markets. xne opinion
holds In financial circles that with a possl
billty of a peatwful outcome, tha chances
are en the side of war.
Much speculative attention was diverted
to the cotton market, where the realising
of profits was effected in the desire to re
duce commitments for the approaching hol
iday interval. Sterling exchange weakened
further today and the demand for remit
tance waa light, the period available for
remittance to cover January 1 obligations
have practically expired. The speculative
movement in the local tractions waa car
ried on in a rather listless fashion and
some of the high grade dividend stocks
which figure largely in the surplus accounts
of great financial corporations were msrked
up without encountering much opposition.

over tne corresponding day last ysx.
Cat toa Mwrlcat.
NEW TORht Deu. 23. COTTON The
market opened at a decline of 2 points to
an advance of 7 points, sn Irregularity re
sulting i mm ens oepressing enert or. me
rather disappointing cables, bullish ad
vices from New Orleans and continued
bull suport. For a time the market ruled
nrm, but after advancing, aoether a points
broke under liquidation until it was about
3 to 7 points net lower. New Orleans kept
sending in big buying orders however,
and on the decline the local bull leader
became an agreasive buyer, so that quota
tions were soaring up to htkher levels,
with ths tip coming from New Orleans
that tbe bulls intended putting this mar
ket on a 14-cent basis before Christmas.
Trading here was extremely active and
the market revenanly strong with prices
around mlddsy net 13 to '24 points higher.
January was quoted at 13.4bc: March, u. Sac-
May. 13. Mc and July. 13.Wc this being the
highest range of prices ever established
on some of the options alncs war tlm
The advance at this time waa about c.
the close of the market last Monday nlgnt.
and such gains as this naturally attracted
profit taking of the heaviest kind. Still
after sagging- back 10 points the market
took the long cotton with surprising- ease,
ennseauently rallying several points until
the laat hour, when prices broke badly
under a Perfect avalanche of selling tha
seemed to come from all quarters. In the
last Ave minutes the tnarxet broke 10
points and so great was the confusion that
trades were being- made 3 and 8 points
apart for the same option at the same
time tn different parts of tha ring. At ths
close the market hsd lost almoat all of Its
gains and was finally espy at a decline of
3 points to an advance of 7 points. Sales,
1.3 (AO bales. It waa also reported that
good sales of cotton bad been made at
advanced prices.

CATTLK There waa an extremely light
run of cattle here thla morning, whicn
mskea the supply for the three days this
week much shorter than for the- same
days last week. but. aa compared with
tha eorresponding week of laat rear, there
la very little change, owing- to ins smau
supply on sale today the market ruisd
active with nrinea higher.
The few toads or corn tea steers on ssie
chan red hands very readily at prices rang
lna generally a dim hlxner than yeecerday
Aa high aa 14. xu waa paid ror aemo oamo
of pretty good quality. Aa compared with
the close of laat week the market Is &a0a
hlvher. the short fed cattle apparent!
showing the greatest Improvement. Tha
llsttt receipts, of course. are large!
responsible for this quick Improvement In
the situation.
The cow market waa also active and
shout a dime higher. There were very
few on sale and It only took a short time
for evervthing In the yards to change
'hands. For the week the fair ta good
cows are all of lSS'Se higher. The great
est improvement apparently has been on
the, kinds selling around 22.50. Canners
did not suffer much last week and conse
quently the advance on them this week
hai also been limited. Fancy cows and
heifers have been very scarce this week,
but they undoubtedly would sell a little
better than they did at the close of last
Bulls were a little stronger today, and
for the week are perhaps 10 16c higher.
Veal calves ere still selling in about the
same notches fhey hsve ail the season.
blockers snd feeders were a -arcs this
morning, so that prices held fully steady
on all desirable grades. For the week
good to choice yearlings are undoubtedly
a little higher. The better grades of heavy
cattle alsoi might be a little stronger,
Ki,r enmmnn kinds of all weights have been
rather slow sale, with practically no change
In prices. Represents rive saiea: ,
