Now York, Dec. 26.—(Special.)—Liverpool bting closed the brokers exepected a dull market and they were not disappointed. In the forenoon prices were fairly firm on very light receipts. March opened at 8.01 and ad vanced to 8.06, but the announcement that the receipts of Now Orleans tomorrow would be heavy changed the temper of spec ulation. A selling movement began, and on light offerings March sold down to 7.92. The close was quiet, but steady, with March at 7.94^(7.95. The flurry over the war and tha. finance*.seemed to have spent its force, at least as far as cotton is concerned, and the immediate future of prices is going to de pend on receipts. The bears claim that the January movement will be a liberal one. The bulls say that it will be very small. We shall see which is right. It IORDAN & CO. Chicago 'Change. Chicago, Dec. 20.—It was still Christmas to all intents and purposes in the wheat market today. There was a burst of activ ity in the last half hour, but it was the re sult of selling out in response to the weak ness which assailed stocks in Wall street at that time and not indicative of a desire ion the part of the traders to do business. The action until the time mentioned was fvery slow, with prices slightly above Mon day’s close, but the firmness disappeared flyate in the session and prices rested at a decline from that. Bradstreet’s reported an increase in the world's stosks of 3,716,000 (bushels. The Thomas report was out, giv ing an estimate of 235,000.000 bushels in farm ers’ hands on January 1. Lt was argued that the figures were bullish, but it was noticea ble that the. privileged few who had the re port early evinced a pre-ferecne for the sell in gfiide. May wheat opened at 58%<g>58%c, sold between 58% and 57%(&57%c, closing at 67%c. %(®%c under Monday. Cash wheat was Steady, but closed weak with the futures. Corn—The same conditions ruled in corn as in wheat, with a smaller break at the close There was no effort or desire to trans act business, and only the necessity of li quidating compelled the temporary activity at the end ol’ the session. Bradstreet’s re ported an increase in stocks cast of the Rocky mountains of 1,160,000 bushels. May corn opened at 28(§-'28%c, declined to and closed at 27%'u27~fcc, under Monday. Cash corn was %c lower. Oats—The normal condition of the oats market being full, ail round inactivity had no particular effect. Anyhow prices declin ed near, the close in sympathy with wheat and corn. May oats closed *4c under Mon day. Cash oats were ty&V&c lower. Provisions were up Tn the morning, with bogs down in the aftrenoon with grain and stock* The trade was not completely inac tive. Commission houses were fair buyers, whilst professionals did theb ulk of the Gell ing. At the close May pork was 2under Monday, May lard 2V&c higher and May ribs unchanged. Domestic markets were quiet, but steady.

Dec. 26.—Stocks showed consid erable strength during the early hours, the easier condition of the money market, lower j*atca for sterling exchange and a belief that there will be favorable legislation at Washington being the contributing eauses. The opinion was also universal that .meas ures will be taken cither by congress or thq executive looking to the restoration of the gold reserve, and this led to buying of se securltiea in certain quarters. Hankers were making preparations for the expected Issue, which it is now thought will be at least 1100.000,000. There was any amount of gossip about the Issue, but people usually In touch with the government’s financial op erations either did not know or did not care to go on record as making prediction* about the matter. The war scare also abated and. London was a moderate buyer of Louisville and Nashville, St. Paul and other stocks with an International market. The opinion as to railway earnings in the west also led to buying of stocks of wheat and corn car rving roads. The easier condition of sterl ing exchange put an end to the foolish talk about a premium on gold, and a leading bullion dealer stated that only Inquiry for .the metal was from Intending purchasers of the new government loan. The improve ment in stock prices In the first hour ranged from 1 to 4 per cent higher. Lackawanna rose 4V4, to 165*4; Michigan Central 3. to 98; Cotton Oil preferred 3, to 64; Lead preferred ► 2%, to 87%; Consolidated Gas 2%, to 152%: Lake Shore 2%, to 147; Louisville and Nash ville 2*4, to 47%; Northwest 2, to 100%; Can ada Southern 1%, to 50; St. Paul 1%, to 69%; Rook Island 1%, to 68%; ersey Central 1%, I to 102%, and the other active Issues % to % per cent. The advances induced sales to realize profits, and a reaction of U to 2 per cent followed, Rock Island, Rig Four, Lake Shore, St. Paul and Manhattan being most conspicuous in the downward movement. Lackawanna, which had sold at 165% early in the day, was subsequently bid for at 100 and offered at 162%. Reading, Burlington and Quincv and for atime Leather preferred were weak and lower. Reading was sold by holders who do not wish to pay the heavy assessment. Leather preferred was sold down to 61% from 64 on a board rumor that the dividend will not be paid. Later there was a recovery to 63 on semi-official denials of this reoprt. Baltimore and Ohio fell 3% per cent, on the revival of the unfavorable reports about the company’s financial con dition. The market ruled quiet during the greater part of the afternoon, and the course of prices was irregular until the close, when speculation became firmer ow- i ing to a sudden rise in Sugar to 103%. The buying of Sugar at this time was based on the belief that there will be no adverse legis lation so fin* as . this.-*company is concerned at Washington at this session. Net changes show gains of % to 8% per cent for the day. Reading, Union Pad tic, and Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy show losses of % to l per cent. Baltimore and Ohio, however, lost 3% per cent. Railway bonds, after a firm opening, be came weak on sales to realize. Total sales \viMfc $2,023,080. The sales of listed stocks aggregated 214, 390 shares; unlisted, 89,749 shares.

Today’s feature^': Trregularity charac terized the market today, which was under the influence of conflicting factors, that is to say, there was an early ad vance, due to small receipts, local cov ering and some buying by New Orleans and the continent, but later on prielTs gave way under the influence of large es timates for New Orleans tomorrow. Ger man houses sold. There was a good deal of switching, many selling January and buying March and May. In a word, it was a small and regular market, so small that anticipations of liberal receipts to morrow were potent enough to put prices down, although any increase in the re ceipts Is expected to be only temporary.
