SI.-With the close of today's stagnant market end ed the dullest year on the stock ex change since 1878. Total sales of stocks for the year approximated 48,-. 000,000 shares, as compared with more than 83,000,000 In 191S. Bondi transac'/ens aggregated about 1462, 000.000 against a total of about $503, 000.000 in 1913. Today's session was slightly more active than that of yesterday. The movement was almost featureless, however, apart from its fairly firm undertone in leading stocks and re current weakness in the Oould group, Missouri Pacific falling to the lowest price In its history, with sympathetic weakness in allied issues. The short interest in the market was Induced to cover more nf Its out standing commitments and selling pressure relaxed, except In the isolat ed instances already mentioned. There waa an echo of the almost forgotten neilin failure In thc sale of snveral lota of United Dry floods preferred around 85 against its July quotation of 63. Money was in greater 3upply than ?ta usual st the year's end. LoruB on [collateral composed entirely of .ndus I trials were made at 4 per cent, for I four to six months, and where the ?v ourity was o fhigher grado th'? rat? was shaded. Call money was far in excess of sll requirements. Foreign news reflected increased* confidence. The bond market was Irregular be cause of the weakness ip low priced Issues.

Bradstreet's Report NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: InvenU., taking ls the rule, and therefore movements In the more im portant industrial and commercial channels are slow but the most sig nificant fact ls that practically all lines and section, save the South, look for improvement after January 1, gradual perhaps at first, but expand ing as the season for spring buying progresses. Distribution now is main ly from retail purveyors, by whom sacrifice sales are being pushed, with negatively favorable results at most centers, the range being from poor in thfe South to active in the West, where the full force of remunerative prices for wheat are exhibited, lt is note worthy that reports from some points j indicate that Christmas trade was bet? j ter ?han anticipated but In .general I sncL returns, especially i from lndus ! trial renters, disclose that buying was limit?e in consonance with lack of .steady employment. Wheat exports for tho week were 7,400,382 bushels against . r.,Sui,412 bushels last yoar. Business fail-ires In the United States for the \r*?k. five days, were 511, compared with 365 y??u, u* Canada BS, compared with 46 last year. New York Cotton NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Trading waa! on a semi-holiday scale in the cotton market today, but prices ruled gen erally steady and the close was un changed to 3 points higher.

' It was the first notice day for old style January contracts and also a no tice, day for new style contracts, but BO far as could be learned no cotton was tendered .on either account and this probably promote*, the advance which carried .the active positions about & to 8 points net higher during the afternoon. Closing prices wero off from the best under realising Private wires received here from rallas during the morning said there ??us a fair demand tor spots from ex porters and that while domestic mills continued slow buyers, there was "not. a great deal of cotton offerings. Some what similar reports were received from other sections of the bell, while Southern spot markets as officially re ported early were unchanged and the continued steadiness ot the situation In this respect probably promoted some covering.

After making new high ground for the movement early in the week with May contracta sell-' lng $4 per bale above the low level reached shortly after the publication of the government's crop estimate, the market met considerable realizing1 and more Southern selling. Reactions were limited and there was sufficient investment buying on the setbacks to promote a generally steady under tone, although the demand from houses with foreign connections was less in evidence. Some of the Belling on the early week advance seemed to be promoted by predictions that after the Ailing of December engagements tho spot de mand in the South would slacken and the rather freer Southern selling wes taken by some as foreshadowing in creased pressure from tho huge avail able supply. The failure of Southern spot offerings to become heuvy enough to cause a sharp break in prices be fore Christmas, seemed to have uiade an impression on sentiment and much talk around the rInp reflected a more optimistic view of prices. That ten dency has been supported by reporta of improving trade in the demcsttc goods markets; expectations of con tinued interest on tho part of export ers, and Southern reports that much cotton bad been abandoned in thc fields owing to its low grade and the unsatisfactory market. It appeared also that the first dif ferences fixed between the government grades as applied to deliveries on Jan uary, tended to emphasize the stricter requirements of the official grading and promote confidence In the vain j of the new style contract while lt Jj re ported that some of the consigned cot ton reaching hore recently was In clined-In this week's clears ace of about 8,500 bales for Bremen.

Early in tho week thevc v ins i rise on fresh buy ing bu' later .' ere was a reaction un .Vr liquidation and some little short selling baaed on the Idea that the wi rranee had gone far enough for tho time being. Tho chief steadying Influence was thc continued good demand for spots In the Interior and th?' firmness ' of spot holders. Another bullish influ ence was the report that American mills were booking heavy order* fer goods tor use by the armies of Eu rope. The New Year in thc market will open with the trade generally looking for improvement. . Next week it will be difficult to hold prices down If there ls no broak in ' the spot de mand, and favorable reports come from mill centers.
