With only insignificant interruptions, prices on Mew York ’Change yesterday tended steadily upwards all day, closing at übout the highest with a very buoyant tone. Met gains exceed a point in nearly all Stocks. The advances at the opening were trivial, and trading was not very active, but as the day advanced the scope of the speculation bioadened and assumed a more aggressive and confluent tone. The strehgtn of the marnet developed lirst in Sugar and spread gradually tmough the market, separate stocks being advanced sharply one alter tho other before the whole market took up the movement. Missouri Pacific, American Tooacco, Michigan Central, Illinois Central and Cotton Oil preferred were among the earliest artected, in the order named. Later the coalers developed strength, and it was not until the closing hour that the grangers and the market generally responded in any marked degree. Some of the stocks which developed most activity and strength Tuesday were somewhat neglected while the rest of the market rose 10 a proportionate level. The bear element did not yield without a struggle wnd was not driven to cover till late in the Way, when the scramble of the shorts materially aided the rise. There was no news ■of importance during the day, the bullish ■sentiment on the exchange being rather a of several days’ impressions. RTho successful conclusion of the Rook ■siand refunding scheme continued to be ■nuch talked of. as did the favorable railtoad statements for October. The Burlington statement especially was interpreted Bnore favorably, the earnings reported beilng exceeded only by those of September Fof this year. The small excess shown over the earnings of October last year is due to the fact that last year’s earnings for that month were exceptionally large. The almost total subsidence of apprenension over the Cuban question also had its effect. There was some awakening of outside interest manifest in the buying through commission houses. This was not on a large scale, however, and the day’s rise was for the most part due to the operations of a powerful combined interest. The stock of Southern railroads showed a notable tendency to lag. The October statement of Louisville & Nashville probably had its influence on this group, showing, as it did, a heavy decrease in gross earnings combined with an increase in operating expense's which brought the decrease in net earnings up to $127,831. It is significant of the dullness of business which has prevailed in Wall street for some time past that a Stock Exchange seat which was offered at auction found no bidders and was bought in for $17,000 for the estate which offered it. it should be stated in this connection that the ownership of a seat does not carry with it membership in the exchange without election, and that the customary method of selling seats L through the officials of Ihe exchange itself. No impression w r as made on the money market by the periodical interest and dividend disbursements. The bond market was strong and very active, the speculative Issues showing notable advances.

SLUMPED AT THE CLOSE EARLY FIRMNESS IN WHEAT OVERCOME AND DECLINES SCORED. * Ollier Markets Dull Mont of the Day in Sympathy with the LeaderProvisions Lower. ■ • CHICAGO, Dec. I.—Wheat was firm today, but very dull until about twenty minutes from the close of the session, when it started on a decline that left it lower for May than it closed yesterday. Lack of export demand was apparently the weakening feature finally. Com, oats and provisions were all dull and price changes at the close were insignificant. The misunderstanding of the order to buy December wheat came nearly demoralizing the market at the opening. A commission firm’s order to their broker to buy 25,000 bushels of December wheat was misconstrued. and the wheat was offered for sale instead, resulting in some other small lots coming on the market and an almost immediate decline to 94c, as against 95%c at the close yesterday. The mistake was soon discovered and the buying of not more than fifty thousand bushels put the price up again to 96%c in quicker time than it took to go down. May started unchanged, at 91*4c, but the effect of the disorganization in December caused a temporary depresison in May to 90%c. It quickly recovered, however, and in the course of the forenoon it reached 91%c. The cold weather continued throughout the winter wheat region and the fields were still uncovered. The St. Louis crop experts evidently thought the trials that the plant was being subjected to were more than it could live through, as several orders came from there to buy July wheat. That future, in consequence, was relatively stronger than May. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts once more this week showed some falling off, compared with the previous weeks, but were still discouragii gly heavy as against those of a year ago. Those places reported 715 cars, against 762 last week and 316 the like day of 18C6. Chicago received 115 cars, against only 34 last year, but shipments hence were 234,000 bushels. The Atlantic port clearances were equal to 575,000 bushels in wheat and flour. The Western primary market receipts were 1,009,000 bushels, compared with only 504,000 bushels last year. Zero weather prevailed in and around Duluth, so that it was considered very questionable if any further shipments would be made, by lake from there this season. This was delivery day, but, notwithstanding this fact, there was hardly any wheat turned over, and it is the belief that little will be until navigation is closed. Liverpool opened unchanged for all futures, except May, winch was %and higher, but it closed stionger, from %and to Id h.gher. March, the active trading montti, was the strongest. Notwithstanding the rather encouraging situation, the trade was so light and the active local traders so re-iu-tant to retire with an unfinished business on their hands, that in their eitorts to dispose of long wheat they had accumulated during the forenoon’s rise tile niamct slipped from under them and the price of May went down from 9i%c to l>o%c, about fifteen minutes from the close. New York reported only ten boatloads for export. Tms lack of export demand started the unloading, w hich was rendered difficult by the a1n.0.-t utter lack of buyers, and prices slipped down very easily. May closed at 9t%<itßtd£c; December behaved better after its mornings gymnastics, and closed at 96%c, an advance of Vac, Corn was firm and very little affected by either the early strength or closing weakness of wheat. The better feeling was due in a measure to the belief that the December liquidation is about over, and the spread of to-day narrowed some. There were no deliveries on December contracts. Cables were firm and exports were good, amounting to 891,090 bushels. Receipts were 319 cars. Country offerings were moderate, but the weather is favorable for the movement. Trade was unimportant, and May ranged from 29%c to 29%c, closing a shade higher at 29 1 /8@29%c. L p to a short time before the close the market for oats was firm, active and higher, December especially showing strength. The elevator buying, firm cash market and sympathy with wheat all helped in advancing the price. Deliveries were small, which was also a factor. The late break in wheat started May liquidation, however, and the market lost all its early advance, selling at the bottom at the close. Receipts tvere 255 cars. May ranged from 22%c to 22<&22%c, the latter being the final price. December maintained its strength, and closed %c higher, at 20%c-. The market for provisions was for a time smothered under the enormous receipts of hogs to-day. This feature, coupled with rather free deliveries of pork and lard on December contracts, caused lower prices early. At the decline the demand improved and the market slowly rallied and closed fairly steady. There was a moderate shipping demand. At the close January pork was 5c lower, at $8.15; January lard a shade lower, at $4.22y 2 , and January ribs unchanged at $4.20. Estimated receipts for Thursday—Wheat, 170 cars; corn, 435 cars; oats, 3:10 cars; hogs, 47.000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Open- High- Low- ClosArticles. ins. est. est. in*.

Tlie sales will close on Dec. 6, two days earlier than announced last week. BOSTON, Dec. I.—The ‘American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wpo! trade: The market has shown very little activity during the past week except in fine wools. In Australian the movement was heavy last Friday and Saturday. The purchasers have been principally mills, the wool being bought to go out of the market. Any changes in prices which may have occurred has been of a spasmodic character. There is a widespread feeling that the depleting of the stocks of Australian makes it certain that higher prices for what is left can soon be obtained, for the reason the wool of this class is now practically withheld from the market and the grease price has, in some instances, been advanced 2c over a week ago. The sales of the wees amount to 1.519,000 lh domestic and 3,033.W0 lbs foreign, making a total of 4,552,000. ST. LOUIS, Dec. I.—Weol unsteady and easier. Medium.

I.—The dry goods market shows signs of an increase in interest in some quarters, although the tone of the market shows no advance of moment. The reductions In staple calicoes on the part of the Merrimacks and Americans has been followed by a reduction of A lg> nquin indigo prints, and there is a stimulation of interest in nearly all lines of fancy cottors, printed and woolen goods. This is not, however, true of staple cottons in any grade, nor print cloths. In prints, the latest iirice to he made in l mil goes shows a. 2 Vie reduction in Algonquin Indigo blues. This is in conformity with the market as made by the Merrimacks and American blues.
