NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The outcome of today's stock trading, viewed with especial Interest bccauso 'c signalled a resumption of dealings in the en?, tire Hst, was oaid by brokera*to have boen a source of disappointment to 0-e long account. Initial quotations ic all prominent issues, including the in ternational list, gave promise of a continuance of the strong tone shown in the two proceeding sessions.' With tho first signs of a demand, however, heavy selling orders appear ed and advances soon gare place to declines which grew with the passing hours. In the final hour those ranged i from 2 to over 5 points in more active S issues, with little recovery towards ?he close. United States Steel and Baltimore & Ohio were especially susceptible to pressure. European interests were ' reported active, dis posing ot fully 25,000 shares. More than half the day's business was transacted In the first hour, in balance of the session being duli and without noteworthy features. On the whole, the . course of the market reflected conservation by in vestors, no less '-hun caution by the bears. Less waa heard today of the report ed attitude of the interstate commerce commission respecting the eastern freight rate increase; and the fact that the large steel interests were soon to arrange their wage schedules for the coming-year with prospects of a general reduction, made for further pause in thai quarter. Relchmarks were weaker. Bills on London were steady and marketa there reflected a stronger tone. Long time loans lu the. local mar ket hardened a trifle with short dates unchanged. Bonds weakened In sym pathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,063.000. - . - ' o' ? ? ' New Yorfc Cotton NEW. YORK. Dec 15.--Cotton was less active today and prices showed a tendency to sag under scattered of ferings from southern and local sources. The close was steady at a net decline of 3 to 5 points. The opening was steady at advance of 2 to 4 points in sympathy with steady cables sud reports of steady spot marketa in the interior. There seemed to be very little demand, how ever, and Ute market soon turned a shade easier under a little New Or leans and Wall Street seeling. There was no hedge selling of importance and the market- showed a fairly steady tone at the decline. Closing prices were about Ute lowest ot the day. The government crop report Indi cated that the price ot cotton oa the farm at the beginning of the month averaged only 6.8 cents per pound. In spite of the low values of this cotton crop, however, the country's total crops on the basis of prevailing farm prices on December 1 were estimated to be worth only $21,000,000 less than last year's, encouraging expectations of an improving general trade.
