Review of the Markets; and Real Estate Business; REVIEW OF MARKETS FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Stores, Honey, Exchange, Bonds, Grain, Cotton, Provisions, Etc. New York, Dec. 21.?The stock mar? ket had to carry another heavy load of liquidation to-day. Trading was on a smaller scale than on any previous day this week, but th? tone was fever? ish and unsettled throughout, und fluctuations were constant. The prin? cipal Belling pressure came from Lon? don, whore the money 'difficulty was aggravated by renewed apprehensions over the safety of the British columns In South Afrlpa and the advance in the otllclal discount rate of the Bank o? France Much Importance seemed to be attached to the latter actjon ns an obstacle to the acquirement of gold by the Bank of England. London's pres? sure upon Paris was reflected in a Jump of four centimes in the Sterling Exchange ruto at_Pai'is. Forced liqui? dation on the London Exchange was on a large scale und overflowed to the New York market. The international stocks were acutely depressed at the opening and wore not a'ble to make any substantial headway all day- In the last hour there was renewed selling of this group, which forced down prices all through the railroad list from 1% to 6 points, the extreme decline being In Northwestern. The leading specialties were also al the low point of tho day in 'the last hour. The bears were active In the late drive and circulated stories of n panic in London on account ot fresh disaster to the British arms In South Africa. Buying to cover short contracts caused some sharo rallies, but they were not well held, and the closing was exceedingly unsettled at substantial losses, compared with last night's close. A notable feature of the weakness, ns was the case yesterday, was the easy rate ruling -?t tho time for call money. After lending at 7 per cent. In the morning, loans were being made at 5 to 3 per cent, at tho time "when prices were dropping most rapidly. The weak? ness was not so much confined to the speculative Industrials ns was the case yesterday, and If liquidation was being forced by discrimination as to col? laterals, the standard railroad stocks wore thrown over to obtain funds for the protection of holdings of indus? trials. Prices In a number of import? ant stocks approached or fell below the low point of Monday, and this fact seemed to Incline holders to renewed selling. Brooklyn Transit was by no means so conspicuous ns yesterday, but the dealings were very large and the fluctuations were very wide, it was vigorously supported In the early deal? ings, but apparently only for the pur? pose of making a market for further liquidation. Support was forthcoming from time to time during the day, which cheeked the downward tendency. Sugar was very erratic nt a level below last night, and fell to within >,i of Monday's low level. Metropolitan and Manhattan worn acutely depressed, the former falling S points. The New York Gas stocks were strong during the early dcnllngs on rumors of u settlement of the gas war, but they weakened he fore the close. Except for the con? tinued strict dincrlminatlon against some classes of stocks as collateral, easy conditions were maintained in the money market. A alight decline in the Sterling Exchange rate might be due to engagements of gold for shipment on Saturday, which It is now taken for granted will be large. Interest begins to centre on what the effect of the week's events In Wall street will be on the Saturday bank statement. Bonds weakened In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value. $2,640,000. United States Pi's and the old 4's ad? vanced Vic. in the bid price. The total sales of stocks were 721,100 shares. New York, Dec. 2J.?Standard Oil. 4 52 @4.64. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Deo. 21.?The cotton mar? ket was fairly active to-day, but the approaching holidays led to caution. Evenlng-up accounts was preferred to making new ventures. The ?extreme range of prices was a matter of eight points. The caution of traders wan In? creased by unsatisfactory reports from Wall street. After opening barely steady at a decline of l@S points, fol? lowing disappointing cables, which showed a subsiding business at Liver? pool and a decline of 2(?i!3 points In fu? tures, the course of our market wat> irregular. There was some pretty heavy buying by a certain house with Important Boston, Philadelphia and Liverpool connections, which checked the early decline. This firm bought be? tween 30,000 and 35.0C0 bale*, February nnd March. Pome attributed It to the undoing of "straddles" with Liverpool, where an rqunl amount of selling may have explained the unexpected weak? ness of tho English market. Small re? ceipts nt the ports nnd Interior, to? gether with strong advices from the Southern spot market? nnd the strong foreign statistical position, added to the conservatism of seilen* In the after? noon.
