NEW YORK, February 3.-Thc entire interest
in the stock market to-day centered in Read
ing, Lackawanna. Delaware and Hudson, st.
Paul and Louisville and Nashville. Another
determined raid was made by the bears, but
with little effect, except in the case of Louis
vile and Nashville, Lackawanna and Della
ware and Hudson, each of which made mate
rial reeoveries from the lowest prices reached.
The general feeling ON the street is conserva-
lively bulIish. The market was very dull ex-
ccpt in the stocks above mentioned. and had II
dropping tendency throughout most of the
day. The most prominent feature early was
heavy selling of ST. Paul, which displayed
most stubborn strength. An attack was after
wards made on coalers, but Reading held up,
though more impression was made on Lacka-
wanna and Delaware and Hudson. The day
was finished by a rterce drive against Louis
vile and Nashville, which, when the pressure
was removed, reacted with remarkable quick
ness.
The market opened duh and weak, but
made some slight Improvement in the first
hour; extreme dullneSs followed, and prices
sagged of till well into the afternoon, when
coal stocks showed decided weakness, and
more animation prevailed. The decline was
checked and small reactions took place, leaV-
ing the close dun but firm at something better
than the lowest. Most everything is lower, but
only for fractional amounts. Sales aggregated
Isl 600 shares.

NEW YORK February g. Green & Cos
report on cotton futures says ut has not
been very active market, and during the
earlier portion of the day, under general sort
of neglect, there was a soft tone with couple
of points lost. During the afternoon, however,
the feeling strengthened on better bidding,
with recovery of value that reached an adj
vance of 3 to points over last evening leaV-
ing final feeling pretty firm at the highest
reached. The interior movement. after the
fun figures came in, did not appear quite so
d
Private accounts from abroad were in more
cheerful form, and some indication prevailed
that little outside buying had come upon the
| market, while large bull operators assisted in
| frIning the tone of the close by bidding with
| quick and decided freedom"
