Success.

New York, Feb. 4.--Cotton opened
steady. Near months were unchanged
while the late months were TO
points higher. Throughout the entire
session prices showed a spreading ten
dency between the current and later
months, and at the close February
contracts were down 6 points, while
the later advanced from l to 10 points
higher. Business was slack throughout
the session.
Receipts have been comparatively

Bust ness Transacted and Prices Paid at Home

NEW YORK, June 12.-Operations by
in today's speculation. The purchases for
this account were estimated as high as
5000 shares and were mainly for st. Paul
and Louisville and Nashville. The favor
able condition of affairs was attributed to
crop reports. The engagement of $2,20O,-
600 in gold for export to Europe tomorrow
had been discounted apparently. as the
influence. Liberal commission buyers were
noted for out of town clients in many in
stances, and the prominence of the low
priced shares in the trading attracted gen.
eral attention and purchases OF some of
the neglected shares were made. at i'm
block of Chicago and Great Western COM
mon and preferred shares was reflected in
a fair amount of activity today in the
common stock, the price advancing to Si2.
The initial prices were generally higher,
with some noteworthy fractional gains In
some of the railway shares. The gold en-
gagements caused a temporary halt in the
improving tendency, but the advance was
soon resumed under fresh buying. The In
dustrial list developed some irregularity as
the day progressed, with sugar moving
within q range of a point. Reductions in
foreign and domestic grades of the product
contributed toward a sagging movement
in evidence. The market shaded off slight
ly in the final hour on -profit-taking, but
closed firm at fractional gains. Business
in bonds fell off today, but there was no
abatement of the strength discernible at
the close yesterday: Atchison adjustment
900. Governments were slightly higher,
amounting to only $4,000. In silver certifi-
Gates only $1,000 changed hands at 6S7s.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

BOSTON. June 12.-The Commercial Bull
letin will say tomorrow of the wool mar
ket.
The market is in the same sluggish condi-
ton. There Is a little inquiry, but largely
for bargains. and Of such there are few.
Dealers are holding wool steady, hoping
that a square declaration for the gold
standard at st. Louis will justify their
hopes of business. The only sales worth
noting are a line of 100, 900 pounds full Texas
on basis Of 25 cents clean. and a ''sacri-
flee hit" of quarter-blood Australian cross
breeds at 2SGl2ec clean. Wool manufattur-
ing is fiat and the fact that the. Nona-
taum Worsted companys '1iquidation''
has become an assignment adds to the i'm
pnession, although the company confident
ly expects to pay in full and show bal
ance besides the plant. The sales of the
week are LII 1000 pounds. domestic and 44o-
900 pounds foreign, against 1896. 900 pounds
domestic and s56. 900 pounds foreign last
week. and 5.025, 900 pounds domestic and
2,675,0O0 pounds foreign for the same weel.
last year; The sales to date show. de.
crease of 17.17s,973 pounds domestic and
6.159.3o0 pounds foreign from the sales to
the same date in 1895. The receipts to date
show q decrease of 22.123 bales domestic
and an increase of 1892 bales foreign.
