NEW YORK, February 2S.-The stock market
was again very duh, but the tone of dealings
was In marked contrast to that of yesterday
being firm to strong for most of the day. and
buying was of much better character through
out. The strike ON the Burlington and other
railroad troubles of the Northwest have given
increased impetus to the movement to take the
question OF rates out of the hands of railroad
managers and place 1t under the control of
State commissions. Notwithstanding the strike
however, and the unsettled condition of rail-
road business in the West, operators were dis
posed to wait further developments before
selling, and the announcement that Congress
will probably in short time take some action
on the financial situation created a better feel
ing i'll stock circles, and the market showed
marked strength in some directions. The APP
parent selling by London yesterday in the
light Of to-day's Developments seems to have
been attempt by the bears to break the
market. There were very few selling orders in
the market this morning. and these were
quickly exhausted. though they bad n tenn
porafy effect upon prices, except IN the'case OF
Manhattan which WAS broken over point.
This was the only special feature in trading
until the close. when buying of Richm3nd
Terminal stocks began again. and they adj
yanced rapidly Jersey Central, st. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville also became promi-
nent at the time though movements in other
stocks were Tor small fractions only, The close
was dull but firm 10 strong at the highest
prices reached. Total sales, 9s,o0o shares.

& Cos cotton circular to-day says: 1.-The cot
ton market has been without redeemng fea-
ture during the day, and at the close prices
were easy The sentiment of the room is very
bearIsh, and heavy receipts at ports, with con-
tinued large interior movement, is converting
many of those hitherto believing in speedy
falling off of receipts. The theories of short
proved and with large estimates the belief in
lower prices is becoming more general; weak
long cotton is being sold, and few buyers APP
pearing the market declines on offerings Short
sales are being made in the confidence of
decline. and TIT the moment there is 10 feature
of strength. The short interest however is Il
nervous one, and with any check in the decline
would cover quickly. Liverpool Is very bear
ish. The opening here was two points below
the close OF Yesterday. Some steadinesS was
shown after the first call, bat the slight rally
eolild not he held. and during the afternoon
