Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-02-09

New YoRK, Feb. 6-During the past
week the course of business at the stock
exchange has been quiet, irregular. and on
the whole, towards lower prices. The mar
ket has, for the moment, fallen. into the
hands of the professional traders, among
whom, as usual. the bear temper pre-
dominates The outside public and the
larger bull operators seem willing that
matters should take this course for awhile.
They have realized handsome profits on the
January advance, and IN the absence of any
very pronounced '-bull' feeling at the pres
ent stage. they deem it good tactics to with
hold their support and permit the "bears"
TO knock several points of prices and then
take in new lines for fresh advance. CR-
der these circumstances the ''bearsn are
allowed a far chance to sell down the mar
ket. and both sides may in turn have an
opportunity for a profitable run of specula-
ton, which, as the temper of the market
now stands. is perhaps the most wholesome
course affairs could take; although il may
be attended with transiently unwelcome
puiet among the commission houses
There is no sufficient reason for constru-
ing this change OF temper as meaning that
the speculative feeling has collapsed, or
that prices are destined to any important
reaction Il means simply that the spirit
OF speculation, at the moment, is corserva-
tive and that the "buIl'' leaders. appreciat-
ing this. deem II wiser to encourage an I'M
dulatiug advance, with its ups and downs,
rather than to force prices IN the direction

British Grain Trade.

LONDON, Feb. S.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press in its weekly review of the British
grain trade SAYS: Prices OF English wheat
are still declining. When offered at Sd re-
duction trade IS slow, but when Is is con-
coded ready buyers are found. Foreign
wheats are irregularly lower. AT Liver
pool there has been Z 3 per cent decline on
California and other South American
wheats.
Flour dropped Cd per sack. Corn has
fallen Is without encouraging demand.
Barley almost unsaleable at Is decline.
Oats lest Sd and linseed Cd.
At to-day's market English wheats were
firmer without quotable advances. Foreign
wheats helc for I'd advance. American
wheat readily bought at the rise. Flour in
better demaHd-and prices up Cd. American
corn Cd higher. Oats and barley in better
request and fractional advance.

Gigantic Coal Deal.

NEW York. Feb. S.-RuInors OF a gigantic
deal between the coal producing companies
continue current, and traders in the stock
exchange believe the report that an agree
ment has been made with an immense
syndicate to handle the immense output
and pay owners of all coal lands 25 cents
per ton royalty on all coal taken by them,
provisions being made that the syndicate
shall have the exclusive right and that
royalties shall amount in the aggregate to
Sl0,OO00 00 n year. There is little doubt
some deal is being arranged. 1t is under
stood the syndicate reported to have been
formed will establish a joint agency for the
sale of coal at large distributing points, and
that the present sales agents system will
be abolished

The Cotton Report.

Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, Feb. S.-Atwood,
Violet & Co, say: F'utures-There was
an Improvement Of 2-64 in Liverpool at the
Opening-improving another point later
but closed barely steady, losing all but 1-G4.
The effect here was to cause
q slight improvement, but it was not
sustained and there was gradual decline
of II points from Yesterdays closing from
which there was recovery of l point at
the close to-day. There seems nothing now
10 say Of the situation, except to record the
fact that the market has declined, and so
far as we can give the cause OF it
the break to-day was principally owing to
the large estimate of receipts here for to-
morrow of 30, coo bales, against $1,000 bales
NJ all ports last year. The fear of its effect
upon Liverpool tomorrow and q lower
market there, is what overshadows the
market here to-day, and this, with increased
estimates of port receipts, and the amount
that will come into sight this week also has
depressing effect as evidenced
by the greater weakness and decline
in our spot market to-day. Port receipts
are now estimated at 100000 bales this
week, and the amount coming into sight
will probably be 10000 bales against our
estimate of 10000 bales on Saturday last.
Port receipts to-day are $4,000 bales
against 90 600 bales this day last year.
Spots closed steady. Sales, 500 bales.
Quotations sc lower.
+. o. b. sales 500 bales. Offerings and
demand light. As the spot is cheaper than
the interior buyers prefer operating here.

EDIToR News: A movement has
been started TO establish another
Grand Army post in Baxter Springs.
A good many of the members OF the

meeting and without any notification
being given to them. There is no dis
position on the part Of anyone 10 dis
