STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York March 1.-THE stock market
continued almost entirely in professional
hands to-day. There were erratlc fluc-
tuations and active speculation in Third
Avenue, over range of 81, and Sugar

largest amount of attention. Tennessee

There was a good market for American
stocks in London, and an early advance
in sympathy here, but the weakness of the
local traction stocks and uneasiness over
the bank statement caused sagging
market up to the time of the appearance
of the statement when there came a smart
rally. A sudden drop In Third Avenue

other traction stocks checked the ad-
vance and unsettled sentiment. But the
closing was fairly steady and showed net
gains except in a few stocks The bank

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, March 17.-Hubbard Bros.
& Co. say: Liverpool at the opening
showed a natural reaction from yester-
days weakness, closing steady at lower
quotations for the immediate bearing cut
of the cablegram we received yesterday
that Manchester was not so good because
of the heavy discount on the prospect of
a large crop next season. The local tenn
per is exceedingly bullish, notwithstand-
ing the reports of Bradstreets regarding
the hesitation in the demand for cotton
goods opening a shade lower, and the mar
ket rallied on local buying, finally closing
steady at the opening quotations. Traders
generally look for a better market on
Monday in LIVERPOOL, believing the recent
weakness there to be in order of a nat
ural reaction.
New York, March H.-Murphy & Co.
say: Cotton advices from Liverpool were
disappointing to the locals Instead of a
further advance it gave a decline of 1-32
on spots and 2-6403-64 on futures, old
crop delivery, and showing greatest weak
ness. Our market opened about points
fall and winter deliveries, ruled quiet and
steady, owing to supporting orders from
local bulls and absence of out of town or
ders. Receipts are not large, and the
movement this week is likely to be again
smaller than last years. Bullish sentl-
ment may attract buyers again on small
declines, but the prospects of a further
important advance in the near future
seems to be less pronounced than for some
time past, unless Liverpool turns and leads

Morning News Office, March 1.-THE in
activity of the local markets was appar-
ont to-day, and as a result transactions in
oil lines were light. The cotton market
closed quiet and unchanged, naval stores
MAS not very active, and most of the other
markets were draggy. Liverpool is looked

prospects of an immediate revival on this
side are not regarded as pronounced, how
ever and many of the trade look for re-

cent declines in that market.
Sea island cotton left in factors hands
after the sales of 5000 bags last Friday
is held at fancy prices. Buyers are after
the offerings, but the holders who still
have their cotton in factor S hands are
said TO be expecting the best prices of tn
season. 1t is reported that Fridays sales
we're on a basis of 10, 1874 1872, and l, q,

Il is further reported the purchases were
for the account of the syndicate composed
of New England and foreign mills, thodgh
most of the cotton sold is for domestic
consumption. The buyer who made these
purchases also bought a lot of over 1000
bags al Valdosta some weeks ago, which,
with Fridays sales, makes the two larS

this season.

The fact that il was reduced little more
than half therefore, had sentimental
effect against the bears But the surplus
is so small in any event as 10 leave no
great difference in the condition reflected
by the banks. What was of special sig
nificance was the loan contraction of ST.
81 400
This can only mean that the process of
liquidation has commenced of The eXten-
sive loans taken out by the banks here
and elsewhere to buy government bonds
for the purpose of taking advantage OF
the new refunding raw. Chiefly from this
cause the loans of the New York clearing
house banks were expanded from Jan. IA
to March 10, no less than SS6,965,000.
The large applications making to the
treasury department. for conversion of
present bonds into the new two's gives
promise of prominent relief for the money
market by the disbursement of the prem
iums on the old bonds. 1t is highly sig
nihcant also that the New York sub
treasury begins to reflect the payment Of
pensions in its reduced drain on the
banks, thus promising relief from the fac
tor that has caused most unoasiness re-
garding the money market. On these ac-
counts the belief is held thai to-day's
statement marks the elimination of the
decline in the surplus reserves. The quo
tations made in to-days money market
were hardly more than nominal, as loans
made on the Stock Exchange on Friday
afternoon carry over until Monday Not
the least surprise in the bank statement
was the fact that as a result of the first
week in which the new bank currency
law is in operation there is an actual de
crease recorded in the, circulation of New
York banks of $50 50Oi

COTTON.

The cotton market closed quiet and I'M
changed today. Transactions were light,
and there was apparently nothing to give
the market a lift. The days receipts
were above 5000 bales, and for this sea
son $4,000, against 100000 same period
last year. Outside advices were not such
as to exert any considerable influence on
the spot markets. Savannah quoted mid
ding at 91s cents, and Mobile, Wilmington
and Cincinnati were the same. Develop
ments are looked for which will give the
market another upward turn shortly.
