There waa considerable tuy Ing by a prominent long and aome of the commission house, the offering coming largely from locals.

Lanarnld Market la Sparred to Anima tion by Heading; Deal. NEW TORK. Jan. 8 Today's stork mar ket was languid and somew hat' irregular during the early part of the session, but It was roused into greater animation and general strength by reports of the deal for control of Reading by the Pennsylvania and Vanderbllt Interests. The coalers 14) the movement, but the movements them selves were moderately affected, beyond a full recovery from some earlier depression. Pennsylvania also failed to show in the strength wakened by the reports. The Erles took the lead and scored advances of between 24 and 3H points on ernnrmous dealings. Concise details were lacking of the deal, but it was taken for granted that Important steps had been taken toward further centralizing of control of tho an thracite traffic. Reports have been long current of large buying of the Readings for Baltimore & Ohio account and th dominance oT the Morgan Influence in Reading made it evi dent that the usual observance of comity between the Pennsylvania and New York Central powers would be foUowed. The fact of the resumption of deals and large financial projects In the railroad world was Itself an Incitement to speculation. The declining course of the money market pro tected the speculation from anxiety on account of the money situation. The announcement late In the day thnt the bankers' pool which subscribed Jo0,000,ooo in the middle of December for the protec tion of the money market had been dis solved added to the feeling of security and led to the buoyancy with which the market closed. New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio shared to some extent in the strength due to the Reading report. Of other special movements that in the corn grangers waa attributed to the growth of the corn move ment, although there was some evidence of organized market support in Missouri Pncltlc and Rock Island. The speculation was continued In Sugar, which is usual on the approach of a divi dend period for that stock, but there was profit-taking in the stock In the latter part of the day. There was also evidence of profit-taking from time to time in some of tne f acmes ana bi. t aui. United States Steel showed a tendency to rally from yesterday's declines. Amalga mated Copper waa very Irregular, but was Inclined to react under the Influence of the weakness of copper both here and in London. The New York Public Utilities continued to reflect the favorable effect of Governor Odell's recommendation for the repeal of the franchise tax. The reported blizzard In the northwest was taken on account of traders who sought to renew the market reaction of yesterday. The firmer tone of sterling exchange at tracted some attention. With the largely augmented control of the outside market, it Is largely a matter of Interest whether the Bank of England will attempt to attract gold from abroad or will operate directly to ease the pressure for government loans.

COTTON Opened quiet and steady, with prices 1 point higher to 2 points lower and following the call ruled rather quiet, but firm, for a time on light estimates for receipts, notwithstand ing the disappointing Liverpool cables, which reported a decline of 4 points, but from this point the market reacted to a level not far from last night's figures. The decline was largely the result of a rather Indifferent public demand and also a moder ate movement for profits. The crowd was generally long and some fears were ex pected of another raid on the market similar to that of the preceding day. This, however, proved groundless, and Wall street was at no time prominent on either side of the account. The chief feature of today's situation was the comparative volume of exports as compared with re ceipts. The former amounted to about 65.000 bales, or practically double the latter. Stocks at Interior towns have lost this week 12.000 bales and today's Interior move ment showed receipts of but about 11,000 bales net. foreshadowing a bullish week and statement tomorrow. Toward the close there was some buying In anticipation of the expected strength of tomorrow's sta tistical showing, and while the market waa somewhat Irregular, sales showed an up ward tendency on active movements, with the close steady and prices net S points lower to g points higher.

I CATTLE There was just a fair sixed run of cattle here this morning, and the market showed veay little change from yesterday. Buyers all seemed to be quite anxious for supplies, so that trading was fairly active and the bulk of the offerings was out of first hands In good season.' The better grades of beef steers were In active demand and fully steady prices were paid. The half fat and common stuff, did not move any too freely, and was no more than steady. Whenever packers can get enough of the better grades to till their immediate orders they are very slow about buying the half fat stuff and usually bid lcwer on it. The cow market was also about steady with yesterday. The better grades In some cases looked a Utile stronger, but the me dium kinds and canners sold rn just about yesterday's notches. The supply did not seem to be any too large to meet the demand so that trading was fairly brisk from start to finish. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold with out much trouble at good, steady prices. The supply of Blockers and feeders con tinued very light, and, In fact, was smaller than the demand, so that anything at all decent sold a little stronger. The common truck, though, continued to be more or less neglected, as the demand from the country Is confined largely to the more desirable grades. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. At. Pr. No. A.

The market here opened fVaJlOc higher and .oon became generally 10c higner. Trading, howevet, waa not particularly brisk owing to the fact that buyers were slow to bid the full strength of the market. The bulk of the hoas sold from 36.46 to 3S.56 and as high as 36.70 was paid for a prime load oC-l ncavy nogs weighing a. 8 pounds. ine lightweights were neglected, the same as uhuuI. ard In most cases were left until the last. The close of the market was rather slow and weak, so that the late arrivals did not bring as good prices as those sold earlier In the day. Today's advance carries the market to the highest point reached so far this year or puts It back to about where It was on 62. 6H. 65. 71. 21. 26.. 72.. December 29. No. Av.

Buyers all had to have a few fresh sup plies, so it only took a few minutes to dis pose of everything offered. A double deck of western lambs of pretty good quality sold at 85 25, but the quality of the rest of the arrivals was rather Inferior, with he exception of a single deck of mixed na tives. The market could be quoted strong and active on all desirable grades of both sheep and lambs. There were not enough feeders offered to make a test of the market. Uuotatlons: Choice) western Iambs..
