Speculative Sentiment Assuming a
Mildly Bullish Tone Now.
Railroad Earnings-Fall River Cotton
Market-General Notes.


NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Speculative senti-
ment has ass umed a mildly bullish tone,
although the reflection is as yet almost
imperceptible. Bids for the new bonds
and for the older Government issues were
made at further advances, which was TO
have been expected, in view OF the merits
OF the bonds as an investment. and the
vast amounts of idle capital here and
abroad.
Profound dullness was the most notice
able quality of the days stock market.
The railway list secured a slight advance
In the forenoon, most OF which was
retained in the subsequent dealings.
The trading ran largely to the Indu
trials, in which the only changes OF
Importance occurred. American Tobacco
broke nearly four points in the early
dealings, but had recovered most Of the
decline before the close.
Lead also declined rather sharply when
the nop-payment of the dividend on the
common stock was announced. 1t is
hardly proper to speak OF the event as
passing Of the dividend, for while quar-
terly distributions of profits have come to
be expected by the common stockholders
they have never been cassed as regular
payments.
Distilling advanced on the singular dis
covery OF the receivers that the concern
actually possessed surplus assets. The
course OF the market was hestitating
throughout, and the dealings were classed
as almost altogether professional.

The Lead City Call is clearly in error
in a statement recently published
wherein it stated that there was but one
company of National Guards in the
Black Hills. It's attention is called to
the fact that in addition to Co. NJ. al
Rapid, there has also been a company,
the Custer Guards, duly organized and
fully equipped at Custer, which, by the
way, is the largest, and conceded by the
Inspector General to be the best appear
ing company in the state. 1t would
seem a trihe strange that Bro. Jones
should have failed to catch on to this
highly important, and, to us, gratifying
fact.
