Stock Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett. Aet.
 New York, Feb. 2-The overwhelming de- feat and the showing under of Senator Tel ler's resolution by congress last night was a favorable influence as it partly offset the reduction in some American issues fin Lon don. Tuesday the same buying by the out side public that absorbed the stocks sold for profit at times yesterday was again mani fested at the opening, and the start was made with confident feeling under i'm creased bull sentiment. Tt soon became public property that traders were taking the bear side of the market and this led to hesitancy, followed later by irreguiarity, alternately. in some instances extending to a point Baltimore and Ohio was one of the strongest stocks in the board. It gainsd over a point and the balance of the so-called Morgan properties held pretty well. All that is positively known so far relative to the consolidation of the Van derbilt's Is plan for the bringing together of the Lake Shore and New York Central roads. Even this has not been adopted and is open to many qualifications before 1t will be announced to the public. Profit taking in this group by many operators will in all probability result, since there is no foundation for many of the existing rumors.
 The Industrlal shares were a drug for time Northern Pacifc's were no excep- tion despite the announcement that the directors would positively declare 1 per cent. dividend on the preferred today. It Is now known that the move in Chesa- peake and Ohio started in London was pre-

Grain Letter
 Chicago. Feb. 1-Leiter is doing now in the wheat market just what he did early in December, allowing all the other wheat bulls to sell on the strong spots while he merely holds to his line without trying to avail of bull opportunities This dog gedness of Letter in hanging on and per hitting others to make all the good turns is creating the same sort of comment that similar action did in December when he permitted the elevator people to fill up the opportunity of making for himself great and easy profit. Free receipts in the north- west are discouraging. although it Is claim ed that much of the wheat comes from territory not usually tributary to these markets, notably from Kansas. North- west receipts today aggregated 37o cars against 323 last week and 26O a year ago. Cables were good deal better than ex- pected Paris showing an opening lO per cent advance and Liverpool opening ss@hsd lower had advanced to 1sd over last nights close by 2:30 p. m. Private advices from Liverpool said the situation there was startling, that only two weeks supplies were on hand. Liverpool stocks decreased in January 900 bushels. Present stocks estimated at 1,So00O0 bushels against 3,44S at the corresponding time a year ago. This was the feature of trading.
 New York advices were to the effect that foreigners were absorbing all the wheat offering, both of May and July The mar ket showed decided strength at the open ing, May starting H@%c higher than last nights close and immediately advancing to 96%c under a good demand from shorts. reaction of Ac occurred; on heavier, offer ings, but for the greater part of the fore noon fluctuations were narrow around 96c, good demand and covering by shorts put the price to 96alc, but operators took prof it's heavily and realizing caused break of over a cent in the May delivery.
 Corn and oats were slow but firm, with wheat.
 Yesterdays big export business helped corn. fFs .lY
 Provisions also shared the strength, al- though trade was very light.

Cot,ton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 New York, Feb. L-Early news from Lfy- erpool was more favorable than anticipat- ed, and as a result of light local covering the cotton market opened quietly at an ad- vance of to 3 points. Considerable new buying was in evidence, apparently in- duced by estimataes for comparatively light movement at the ports and predic- tions of continued light receipts. The net gain was increased to 4 to points as natural result. Trading, however, was ai- most as light as on the preceding day and was confined almost entirely to the ac- count of room operators. Selling was held in check by the encouraging average of southern news. New England advices were ineffective.

It has been supposed iatsays that there would be another advance in the stock; that the price would go this tme to 30, which is said to have been the objective point last year. Runners are revived that a dividend will be declared on Reading first preferred.

Dry Good=.

New York, Feb. 1.-Today's trading in dry goods has been reversal of yester- days in that buyers in the market con- tributed to the total for the day in far greater proportion. The usual Tuesday dearth of mail orders gave an opportunity for store traders to come to the fore Their aggregate operations were considerable in amount.
 Buyers of woolens were the most active.
 In cotton goods operations were more conservative. The demand for staple goods is irregular, manufacturers and convert CTS doing the bulk of the buying, which in its entirety is not heavy.
 Prints are still irregular in demand and firm in price.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-An unexpected reaction took place today, May closing a cent high CT. Nearly every trader on the floor was expecting a decline, but the sensational reduction in Liverpool stocks and sharp advance in price there after weak open ing demonstrated the uncertainties of wheat trading by sending prices up and keeping them there.
 Corn and oats were dull and show but little change in values.

Special to The Age-Herald. s.
 New York, Feb. 1.-Dullness greater even than that of yesterday characterized the trading in cotton today. Prices closed a few points higher in spite of large re- ceipts. The semi-weekly was heavy, fne advance was due to slightly better Liv- efpool, that market advancing one-sixty- fourth to the refusal of the southern mar kets to give way and to some local short covering, general outside business was at 0 standstll, although New Orleans was a moderate seller. May opened at 5.79, ad- vanced to 5.S2, declined to 5S0 and closed at 5.S1 to 5.S2, with the tone of the market dull. The southern markets are stiff and the strength shown by them is of the greatest possible encouragement of the bulls. RIORDAN & CO i

New York, Feb. 1.-Cotton market made 0 distinct gain after shwing considerable irregularity with intervals of weakness. Opening quiet at an advance of 2@3 points, there was further advance of 2@3 points resulting from unlocked for encouragement from Liverpool, q smaller port movement than had been predicted, more favorable advices from southern markets as to the interest of exporters and the firmness of holders. The volume of business, however was discouragingiy small and the final phases of the market were weaker. Liqui- dation of smaller local accounts became the feature of the afternoon market.
 The closing was dull at net advance of 214 points,

HBank Hearings.

New York, Feb. 1.-Totals of bank clear ings at leading cities for January as re- ported to Bradstreet's, bear testimony to the immense volume of business, repre- senting commercial, financial and specula- tive transactions, passing through the banks during the opening month of 1898. The total clearings at seventy-seven cities of the United States aggregate s5.965, ,00o,- 900, slight gain, one-half of 1 per cent, over December. 1897; of 33 per cent over January, 1897, and of 30 per cent over Jan uary, 1896. With the exception of the month of December, 1892, the top of the boom before the panic of 1893. the month just closed furnished the largest total on record
 The feature of the clearings in January was the almost unanimous nature of the increases, only four cities in the United States showing decreases as compared with year ago.
 Gains at the large cities have been a faeture of the month.
