New York, Feb. 1.-The cotton exchange
was thrown into a state of excitement
today, and initial transactions were char
acterized by strength at an advance of b
to 10 points on buying by local traders
covering by the short contingent and lib
eral Liverpool and continental orders. Eng
lsh cables were very strong for time,
but subsequently became less favorable,
and after advancing to a net gain of y
to 10 points, the market sold off to net
gain of to 6 points. The smaller longs
played an important part in the selling.
Commission house interests came into
prominence, indicating a return of outside
investors, who for months have been CIV
Southern news was generally favorable,
spot markets ruling firm on increased ex-
port requirements, port interior receipts
running somewhat smaller than antci-
pated, while wheat planting was said to
be in progress in many localities. Private
cable advices attributed the strength in
Liverpool to a general scare of shorts,
who were driven in by a marked increase
in orders for spot cotton from Manchester
and continental spinners. A circular is
sued by Statistician Hyde, of the agrcul-
tural department, contained a lot of in
teresting matter.

Chicago Live Stock

Chicago, Feb. THE average offerings
of cattle today were not especially good
in quality, and droves that were fat and
choice sold quickly at strong prices. Beeves
good enough to sell at s4.75 and upward
showed more strength, but lots that sold
under that figure were barely steady,
there being a great abundance of such Of
ferings. Sales were largely at $i25@5. 15.
There was an active local and shipping
demand for hogs, and prices were stronger
from the opening. with sales largely 21ac
higher than at the close of last week.
The heavy supply of sheep and lambs
naturally caused a weaker market, and
prices averaged 10c lower, trade being
slower than usual. Sheep We're saeable
at $S.25@350 for the poorest lots up to
$45O@4.6O for strictly choice, fed westerns
selling at $3S0@4.5O
Receipts: Cattle, 1880; hogs, $4,000;
sheep, 81 900.

New York, Feb 1.-THE opening of trade
in the dry goods field was featureless today
but generally suspicious. There was a fair
percentage of buyers present, and they
seemed to take hold of goods at second
hands with considerable VIM Jobbers, in
fact, have had less cause to complain since
the first of the year. The extent of trading
in jobbing houses has steadily increased.
Reports today from out of town jobbing
markets have been of a fair business in all
lines. Seasonable goods are In steady de-
mand and the replenishment of stocks Is
becoming more necessary day by day. At
first hands the market is firm, but without
feature Buying is irregular. In cotton
goods the orders have been urgent in many
cases and fairly numerous. But they are
for small accounts and are not calculated
TO fortlfy sellers. Print cloths are I'M
changed at 3-16c for Ga square extras.

strength. All the leading shares partici-
pated in the upward movement but some
OF them soon developed heaviness, notably
sugar.
Traders realized, fearing that the out
side public would dispose of It's holdings
in view of the Cuban rumors which were
being circulated very generally by repre-
sentatives of the bear party. Louisville and
Nashville is said to have arranged to bor-
row 100000 from August Belmont for
three years with unified bonds as collat-
eral. Oponions on sugars were conflicting.
There was considerable talk that the Ha-
waiian treaty was losing ground. WASH
ingiton dispatches stated the government
will have a receiver appointed for the
Kansas Pacific in its interest who will OPP
crate the road for the government lien.
Application will be made for the postpone
ment of the sale this week. Buying OF Bal
timore and Ohio was reported to be on the
belief that the organization will involve
only 20 per cent. assessment, fir which
preferred stocy will he given. Belief is
fairly confident that the Pennsylvania's
next dividend will be advanced. There was
talk in the board that ]. p Morgan g. Co.,
have made a sale OF 10000 shares of North
ern Pacific, preferred, in London for the
purpose of paying for the Seattle, Lake
Shore and Eastern railroad. AT the close
last week 1t was confidently reported that
the Burlington refunding scheme had been
settled and that Boston banking interests
had finally agreed to take large DOCK
of 31s per cent. bonds. 1t has been impos-
;-ible to have these reports confirmed. Bur-
Hngton people are non-committad ana
rather disposed to talk as II some huee
time would be taken up. 1t is CLAIMED
authoritatively that the matter has never
come before the board.

New York. Feb. 1.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says
The stock markets were quiet and fea-
tureless today generally, ending the settle
ment in carry-over mines. but the tone was
steady.
ACTIVITY still centers In Americans, Grand
trunks and Argentines. The feature in the
nrst named was Norfolk and Western pre-
ferred. A pool was formed recently to deal
IN the common. 1t is said the profits al
ready show dividend. Prices closed under
the best, but Grand Trunks were better
Copper shares were weak on reports that
an important mine is TO be foated soon.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. Higher prices and very
welcome activity again prevailed in the cot
ton market today. The confidence of
southern holders and the strength of those
markets aroused Liverpool this morning.
Prices there advanced 3-64ths and spots
were higher with large sales. The opening
here was quiet, with long prices ranging
from to 10 points above the close on Sat
urday. The business was broader than
any we have seen in many weeks. Shorts
covered heavily and there was good buy
Ing by Liverpool, southern commission
houses and the local bulls. A flood of
liquidation on the part of holders who had
long waited such an opportunity to I'M
load however, took the snap out of the
market and at the end the opening advance
was not fully sustained. May opened at
$685. advanced to $50. declined to 5.92, rallied
to $3.50 and closed at sos to $3.50, with tie
tone Of the market steady. The receipts
everywhere were large, the strength of the
market in the face of the movement is in
spring confidence, and if general specula-
ton follows prices may advance further
But we hardly expect much Improvement

Chicago. Feb. 1.-THE influence which

standing news that under ordinary cir
cumstances would be sufficient to break

sued, which carried prices back to within

New York Cotton Market.

New York, Feb. 7.-Todays transactions
in cotton futures reached 255, 900 bales, this
being the heaviest for several months past
and representing broadening speculation
and also alarm on the part OF the shorts.
Prices at the best point showed an advance
of SOLO points on the more active posi-
tons. Liquidation caused partial recess
sion, but the market closed at net gain
of GQ7 points and steady. in tone. The
rise originated In strong cables, public and
private from Great Britain and the Con-
tlnent chiefly from Liverpool and Man
chester. The spot sales in the English
market reached 1900 bales, and private
cables said that conditions at Manchester
were broadening AT the same time the
movement of cotton at the ports was not
up to the claims made by the bears and
forecasts from the southern points of ac-
ejaculation favored the idea of a moderate
movement. Southern spot markets were
reported to be generally active, with
American and foreign spinners competing
for supplies. Exports show a. continued
tendency to overrun receipts, and spot
holders are showing an arbitrary relation
to the market. Further accounts from
Fail River indicate an upward tendency on
print cloths and accounts from the dry
goods centers are also of encouraging pur-
port. sfe

New York, Feb. 7.-Advices from Madrid
anent Spanish, Cuban and American af-
fairs were considered sensational in some
quarters and it was thought that bear
operators would endeavor to make capital
out of the alleged vigorous reply of Spain
to the last not presented by General
Woodford, but Prime Minister Sagasta was
quoted as saying that the present pessi-
mistic rlmors are as unfounded as were
the optimistic reports of a week ago. The
range of quotations from London Indicated
an irregular market for Americans, but
