Review oe the Markets; and Real Estate Business REVIEW OF MARKETS FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL StooKs, Money, Exchange, Bonds, Grain, ?Cotton, Provisions, Etc. ? New York, Jan. 4.?The most con? spicuous feature of the day's trading in stocks was the continued heavy Sell? ins for foreign account, abuut which there wa? considerable mystery. The orders to sell in New York came from London, but London attributed them to Berlin account. Vienna also reported tales on its exchange for Berlin ac? count. In spite of the explanation that the Berlin selling was forced by money Stringency the Berlin discount rate phowed a ride of only Vj per cent. In Berlin Itself the depression was attrib? uted to the decline in English consols and to the capture by the British ot the German steamer General. While the motive of the foreign selling wna obscure and explanations confused, the fact of It was beyond doubt. Sales by the arbitrage houses In New York again footed up 60,000 shares of the various international stocks. There is undoubtedly some uneasiness In financial circles abroad over the pos? sibility of friction between Germany nnd Great Britain over the seizures of German vessels. It is worthy of note j that while interest rate? declined in > London und the Bank of England show? ed a notable recuperation in resources in its weekly statement, sterling ex? change at the important financial cen? ters advanced sharply, in spite of the hardening money rate in Berlin and Pa ris. The New York sterling rale advanced nt the same time, without affecting the local money market, in which the ratcrt ruled front C to 6 per cent. The infer? ence is warranted that London is pre? paring to make further requisitions for foreign gold supply, and that her money market will have to meet demands for coming government loans. In our own stock market the considerable offer? ings for foreign account drove prices down at the opening near a point in the principal international stocks. The level of prices thus attained, coming after yesterday's sharp reaction, proved so Inviting that large and substantial buying appeared, which forced a recov? ery In prices by the end of the first hour. Later New York Central was bid up sharply lo 137. and the short in? terest in Sugar wns driven to rout by the stories of a settlement of tho trade war. Yesterday's reactionary market Induced tjuHc ah enlargement of the short Interest, and their demand to cover was an Important element in the day's recovery in prices. The specialties showed wider changes than railroad stocks, but the demand for railroads was large and well distrib? uted, and. except for the special strength >>C the trunk lines, their gains were quite uniform. A movement to take profits in tho last hour caused a material reaction, reaching to over 3 points In some of the specialties and between 1 and 2 points in many rail? roads. Dealings in bonds wore not large, and the market was irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,755,000. V*. s. new ?'k coupon advanced %c, do registered, old 4's and fi's, ?4c, and the new 4's coupon %c. In the bid price. The total sales of stocks to-day were P23.C00 shares. New York, Jan. 4. Standard Oil, 4\S0(?|4.Sr.. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Atehison . 1094111. I?, prof.7l"i Atchison. pre. ..

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET. New York, Jan. 4.?While tho market for cotton futures was not active to? day 1c overcame an attack :nado by a prominent banking concern which has boa until this week recognized as u bull louder. This concern made u fierce attack on the market late yesterday afternoon untl renewed it early this morning, withdrawiag later in ilie ses? sion. This concern sent bearish tele? grams by the thousand all over the country. Vet the market made a stubborn resistance to the .selling pres? sure thai followed, and after opening steady a; a decline of 3?5 points, tho course m' prices was upward, at one time showing a net gain of five to six points, and finally closing linn at an advance of 3{? 5 points. In view of the prestige of the house referred to the insignificant response made to their bearish predictions ox clled much comment as reflecting In? herent strength. The Southern markets, with one exception, all nus'viihed form? er prices for spot cotton. This phase of the .situation led to covering, especial? ly as receipts at the ports continued upon a small scale and advices from Hie interior were not calculated to help matters. During the morning there was qulto u good Investment demand from the West and South. Europe traded on both sides of the account. The market In the afternoon was more actlvo and ilrmor.
