NEW YORK. Dec. 2 -The notable early trength In today's stock market was ap parently due to a resumption of activity on ne part ot some ot tne reauy passive appe llative pools. The socalled western con Ingent was credited with large trann.ic lons. The operators on the bull side pro fessed to have advance information of the resident's message. Either their informa- on or their Judgment of Its effect wan at fault according to the effect of the market rter the publication of the message, the market lacked all power of resistance to selling movement from that time forward and the selling pressure gained in torce ntll near the close, which was auu and h avy. The check to the recent upward course of the speculation on the local traction ad a depressing effect on the general mar ket. The decline In tractions was due to a aturai desire to take profit, bjt also In part to the announcement that a Judicial decision on the special franchise tax was mpending. Another cnunng innuence was he indication of renewed trouble in tne money market, contained in another flurry In the call loan rate to 7 per cent. This was attributed In part to the requirements t paying ia,ow,i subscriptions to new lllnois Central stock, but the engagement of $500,000 in gold for shipment to South America was of even greater, sentimental effect. This gold goes to pay for wheat bought for account of England, and there fore resembles to same extent the triangu lar operation by which gold has, gone to Paris to pay London's debt. The deposit of $.'jo,ou0 at the subtreasury for transfer to San Francisco marked the continuance of nterlor needs for money. Collection of customs continue to make heavy Inroads upon the New York money market. 1 he published report that some of the leading truKt companies are offering special Induce ments was disquieting. The effect of these efforts cost the market all of Its early ad vances and carried tne level lor many rominent stocks from 1 to t points below ant night. The bond market became easier in sym pathy with the late transactions in stock. Total sales, par value, $2,170,000. United States 3s, coupon, declined per cent on the last call.

Discounts were fairly steady. Operators on the Stock ex change were almost idle. Consols improved. Americans opened quiet and mostly a frac tion below parity. They subnetjjently hard ened and closed strong, following New York's lend. Most of the Parisian favor ites were dull, owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the Paris market. Rio tintos were In better demand, copper being firm at 50 11-18 on general buying orders, espe cially for American account. The decline In the price of gold within the last few days has been viewed with considerable satis faction In financial circles, as It indicates a slackening in the demand from the various quartern of the world, militating against the likelihood of irold exuorts or a ripe in the hank rate. The demand for gold for J win continent to take advantage or the situation to strengthen the gold reserves in preparation ror the Increased demand for money generally expected at the vear end. Cheaper gold here Is also said to lessen the prospect or gold being drawn to London from the I'nited States. Tile sum of 100.. WW was withdrawn from the Bank of Eng- iana lonay tor shipment to Egypt.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-COTTON-Market opened steady at an advance of 2 points and further advanced mil 10 points on more active positions, with the improvement gen erally due to bad weather news from the cotton belt, rne market was further as sisted by the message of the president. Buying was still further stimulated bv the assumption that the bureau report and crop eniiniitie migni ian as sow ss ,:j,U"U oaies, although from this figure local expectation rai as high as lO.OOO.tajO bales, with perhaps 10,200,000 hales, the more popular figure iooK.cn ror. ine latter, suojeci to usual percentages of under-estimating by the government, might be construed as being in line with the crop estimates recently pro mulgated by the members of the New York Cotton exchange and the Savannah Cotton exchange, the one being 11,077.000 balea, the other 11,190,000 bales. The entire "bureau" subject, however, left the cotton trade In a nervous frame of mind, and the forthcom ing statement from Washington Is looked to wltn mticn anxiety by all classes of operators. The local market for spot cot ton advanced o points. Tne nearer posi tions on the future list continued to at- Iruct the Attention of snot bnveira with some evidence of a large remaining special Interest in January, which renewed careful attention to that particular position. The market was finally steady at an advance of 71ill points, 'lota! sales estimated at 200,- Olio bales. ST.

There were right close to 26 cars of corn fed steers on sale and some of them showed considerable quality, but still none of them were what vculd be called finished. Tne market held jvst about steady on the kinds that tell iroin $4.90 up, but the warmed-up kinds were slow sale and a little lower than yesterday. The cow market held Just about steady. There was, perhaps, a little unevenness, but as a general thing all kinds sold In Ji.st about the same notches they did yes terday. A liberal proportion of the re ceipts consisted of cows, but packers seemed to want all there were In sight, and the market as a whole was In very satis factory condition. There was no quotable change in the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags. There were comparatively few Blockers and feeders on sale this morning, so that the better grades sold at Just about steady prices. There was very little demand from the country yesterday, and the bud weather today also tended to keep buyers at home, so that speculators were very slow about buying the commoner grades. That class of cattle were probably a little lower. The few cars of western beef steers that arrived sold without much trouble at about steady prices, where the quality was good. Inferior grades, tnougn, were mow ana a little lower. Range cows held just about steady, and so also aid nesiraoie graaes and feeders. Representative of 3tockers sales: BEEF STEERS.

The general market could best be described by calling it a shade lower. The bulk of the hogs sold at $6.07H and $6.10 and a few choice loads sold at $6.12'4. The heavy packing grades sold from $6 07 down. Trading was quite active, so that the bulk of the early arrivals was die posed of in good season. As usual, though, many trains were late in arriving, so that the market did not come to a close until a late hour. The later sales were as a rule not as good as those made earlier In the day, as packers wanted to buy the last hogs around $6.07V. Representative sales: No. At. 6b. Pr. No. At. Sh.

Some fed western ewes sold lis high as $3.45, native fed ewes brought $3.65 and a bunch nf fed western yearling wethers brought $3.95 and $4.00. As supplies were limited practically everything of fered changed hands In good season. There were no choice lambs with which to make test of the market, but still the general Impression was that anything desirable wo j Id have brought steady prices. The feeder trade was rather slow this morning, as very few buyers were on hand, but the better grades held steady.
