TRADING IS SMALLEST OF MONTH
ON PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE.!
Traders Clean OfTsBools .for a Fresh Start With New
Year Money Market Firm-i-Movements of
Prices Are Narrow
No one In the Street expected tho stock
market In this city to do verjx much today,
the last business day of tho year, nnd there
fore no one was disappointed when business
fell oft to the smallest proportions of the
month. With tho beginning of the week
traders throughout the Street started In to
cleaoSbff their books In preparation for the
new year and this wn-vpontlnued today.
Conditions such as tftese are usual nt the
end of the year, tho trading clement not
caring to carry over any new commitments
to tho new year, and liquidating their hold
ings so as to save the Interest. On the
New York tape quite a few cash transac
tion were noticed, representing selling by
traders desiring' to start In next woek with
a clean slate
The money market Is winding up the year
firm, with call money holding nt B per eenl,
tho official rnte, and with n small demand.
Commercial paper, too, Is ending at a firm
level. After the turn of the year It would
not bo surprising to see money rites d.
cllne a little from the present level.
Just how light the trading was M
Change may he seen from the fact u.
only fifteen different Issues came out on ik.
tape during tho flrst two hours of busln.
and only one bond sold, that being tlCM

COTTON DECLINES '
AFTER FAIR START
Better Cables Than Expected
Cause Early Advance Buy-
inu Scattered
NKW YOniC, Dec. -20 Tho opening on
Iho cotton exchange was a rather tame
affair, although tho tone was firm, with
prices 11 to 18 points net higher, being In
fluenced by better cables thnn had been ex
pected. Commission hoimes generally .con
tinued to sell. The buying was scattered,
being led by room, traders and Wall street
houses. ,
After the call Mareh rote 4 points, while
May declined 3 points and the market haU
nn Irregular appearance.
Tho ninrket met Increased offerings on
tho rally of 21 to 27 points from last
night's closing figures. There seemed to
he no special feature In tho way of news,
but demand was light, and, when the sell
ing orders reached the market, prices broke
rapidly. ,
A few stop-orders wero uncovered on the
derllne, which" carried nctlvo months about
10 to 13 points not lower nt 11 o'clock. He
ports of firmer marine wnr risks were ac
companied by rumors of 'a commerce raider
In tho North Atlantic, which may possibly
linvo been a factor tin Iho break.
Tho market was very unsettled lata In
tho morning. Traders seemed able to find
nothing in tho news they considered an
explanation of the decline, but numerous
small stop-orders wcro executed on a scale
down, and the break carried nctlvo months
about 10 to ID points net lower.
ltnllles of E or C points followed, but buy
ing was probably held in check by a fenr
that something might come out later to
Justify tho drop.
