quantities whenever' the market would
take It. On the other hand, Tonopah
Mining It j.i displayed strength. For a
time It ivbi popular among tho brokerage
houses to advise customers to sell Tono
Imli niul buy Uelmont. The result was
i the practical elimination of all specula
tive Interest In tile former. Meantime,
the new properties wete being developed
and the hope Is now expressed that they
will soon be pioductng substantial divi
dends. Northern Central advanced to SiU on
tho news that the board had authorized
the necessary sum to pay the 8 per cont.
dividend due under the terms of tho lease
to tho Pennsylvania. The payments will
be made semiannually, Januaiy 13 and

tain amount of foreign selling, nnd Cam

level since the war. The prevailing rate,

COTTON TRADING LISTLESS
Government Dinning Beport Had
Elttle Effect on Sentiment.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8,-The Government
ginning report had practically no effect
uu the sentiment of the cotton market
this morning, as while It showed a rec
ord amount; ginned to the eild of last
month, the ginning for the 17 das since
the report was the smallest of several
years. Traders felt that the large crop
Indicated had already been discounted.
Trading' was listless and prices reacted
slightly aftor the opening, which was un
changed to four points higher. Trading
was quiet on the Liverpool exchange.
