A BIG JUMP IN COTTON.
The bulls Advance August Prices
Nearly 40 Points,.


NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-A builish hurri-
cane whis,led through the cotton mar
ket today and tossed prices upward 30 to
80 points on this crop, August showing
conspicuous strength at rise OF nearly
81 a bale. A Wall Street house is re-
ported TO have bought nearly 100000 bales,
largely August. Enormous buying orders
found a market bare of orders to sell, and
prices went upward by leaps and bounds.
A storm practically shut out the Southern
markets for about three hours, or from
noon to nearly 3 o'clock. but early in the
day Southern buying orders helped to put
up prices a great many stop orders were
caught on the short side. and they con-
tributed largely 10 the rise.
The squeeze in March was feature, and
at one time that month was 10 points
over May There was an advance, too, Of
Lice in spot cotton at Savannah, Balti-
more, and st. Louis, and of l-Sc at Au-
gusta, Norfolk, and New York, and many
believe that the big rise here will en-
courage the South to stand out for Toe
cotton.
Just before the close heavy sales to
realize caused sharp reaction, leaving
the net advance for the day 90 to "a points
on this crop and 16 TO % on the next.
September, however, was conspicuously
firm. 1t cannot be said that there was any
thing really new in the situation except
that there was far more anxiety to buy
than to sell, and the cotton could not be
obtained until prices had been marked up
sharply. Liverpool s,.spot- sales We're only
5000 bales, which looks as though Ian

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-In so far as Third
days market indicated that there is
limit even to the effect OF successive I'M
fortunate developments. This morning S
announcement by the several banking
houses that have been investigating the
affairs of the company with a view to
undertaking the reorganization of its fin
ances. that they had concluded the facts
did not warrant their going ahead with the
business, was followed by only slight
further decline in the stock, and subse-
quently it rallied very sharply.
There was, to be sure, exceedingly heavy
buying for the short account in Third Ave
nue., as was to be expected upon the cul-
mination of its distressed affairs. The re-
covery in the stock was doubtless chiefly
owing TO this circumstance, as nothing
whatever encouraging came to light con-
corning the company's affairs. The ap-
pointment of temporary receiver for the
property. which was announced about
O'Clock, was not unexpected.
At all events. however, the check to the
decline in this stock had a salutary effect
upon the whole market Ii gave an oppor-
tunity to persons interested to reflect upon
their positions, to estimate their losses,
and 10 provide accordingly. 1t was an
nounced today that the directors of the
company had decided 20 defer the payment
of the dividend which had been previously
ordered and which was due today. This
action, while not unexpected, was at the
same time regarded as exceedingly aTbi-
foil y nf dividend
whatever. under the general circumstances
of the company, was conceded when 1t was
announced. But, having declared the diyi-
dend. it would seem as il the management
might have stood ready to provide the COM
paratively small sum required for the pay
ment, particularly as their previous action
might have caused many stockholders to
incur liabilities predicted upon the payment
OF dividend.
The market as a whole was extremely
dull after the early dealings, but a firm
tone commonly prevailed. The railway list
continued particularly strong with note
worthy advances in Southern Railway is
sues, Louisville and Nashville and the
Atchison shares. Foreign houses continued
buyers on balance in this market, notably
of the last named issues.
In the early dealings, Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Sugar Refining were rather
sharply depressed, but subsequently both
stocks recovered their initial loss The

were wholly undisturbed. Rather more at
tention appeared to be devoted to the prob

Currency bill. and it was apparently con-
sidered that the increased circulation in

contraction in the money market on other
accounts.

Within the last few years some remark

quently the United States has stood first
in the list OF the worlds gold-producing
countries. and for many years the race be-
tween this country and Australasia has
been a close one. Now both have been out
stripped by South Africa because of the
enormous output OF the wonderfully rich
field OF Witwatersrand. II is even said that
Australasia is about TO crowd us to third
place. In the United States the Pacific di-
vision has been compelled to give way to
the Rocky Mountain section. and Colorado
has succeeded TO the eminence SO long held
by California.
Changes in mining methods and in the
treatment of ores have resulted in increas-
ing the worlds production from Sis, 900, 900
in 1890 to probably much more than $780,

the production OF the United States has in

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Declines One Cent Under In
fucnce of Heavy Selling.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.--Wheat was steady
up to the last hour. when the market
weakened on liberal liquidation by com
mission houses and prices sold off a cent.
The bearish influences were the heavy
snowfall over the winter wheat belt, large
receipts and slack cash demand. Liver
pool was 1-Sd higher. Paris was prac-
tically unchanged from Saturday. Primary
receipts were about 10000 bushels over
last year. Clearances were 100000 bush
els. Ten loads were taken for export.
Corn held its own, in spite of the break
of cent In wheat. 1t was the more re-
markable because the speculative trade
was small. The cash situation was in just
the phase it has been for a week, hardly
any country offerings, but at the same
time there was practically no shipping
demand. The range on futures was barely
Lie. Liverpool was 1-sd higher. There
was some buying by local interests who
sold yesterday.
There was but one price to May oats
% 3-Sc. There was hardly any speculative
interest. Receipts were 139 cars, with 125
for tomorrow. Clearances were Al 900
bushels. The cash interests seem to be
bearish on this grain, and the country is
supposed to be long.
Provisions closed firm at moderate de-
cline, which was brought about mainly
by local short selling % pork. Some hold
ings held on stop orders were dislodged.
One of the packers sold the list. Most of
the packers were on the buying side. and
exporters bought lard. The cash demand
was good for both meats and lard. This
market shows decided strength consider
ing the pressure.

THE PRICE OF PEANUTS.
An Active Demand for Seed Causes
n Marked Advance.

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 2S.-The local pea
nut market has been somewhat excited for
the past two weeks, especially the market
for Spanish nuts Farmers stock. This
grade has advanced from 20 cents to 90
cents per bushel within two weeks, and
the tendency is upward. There has been
for all grades an active demand ever since
the season opened. This has puzzled the
cleaners, who generally believed that the
free buying was FOR speculative account
and would cease when this was supplied.
The takings continue large, however. and
the crop appears 10 be going into consump-
ton.
The cleaners, or many of them. have be-
gun TO show some reluctance TO sell at
present prices, and in view OF this ad-
vance in price appears to be imminent.
The crop, only an average one, is going
out of the hands of cleaners here, and
some grades of nuts are not over plentiful.

ing careful people are confident that the
standard railway securities are to have
q strong advance in price in the near flu
ture. The great strength OF these stocks
during the recent break in the traction
securities has shown In very conclusive
manner that the holders OF this class of
stocks are not disposed 10 sell them at the
present level OF prices. These holders are
among the strongest financial interests in
the country. and they have been buying
stocks for several months in the confident
belief that she great prosperity OF the rail-
ways and the industrial companies will
ensure higher prices for their securities.

There was a distinctly better tone In the
stock market yesterday, particularly
noticeable in the specialties which have
been weak for several days, but not to be
mistaken in any part of the list. Prices
in the traction group advanced from one to
five or six points. Sugar gained several
points and Tobacco stocks advanced well,
and the iron and steel securities all ad-
yanced fractionally. The railway list
showed gains varying from a fraction 20
two points or more. The closing prices
were in most instances at or near the high
est for the day. There was nothing new in
the developments Of the day of bullish
nature. and apparently the change from
weakness 10 strength was simply a profess
sional change Of front. What II may be-
come today or later is another matter.
There was heavy covering by the shorts
in Third Avenue when il was announced
that receiver had been appointed for the
company, on the professional theory that
short contracts should be covered when the
bad news is out. This movement induced
covering In other directions. The strong
close suggested that the covering may ex-
tend further today, and IL 1t develops into
an extensive movement 1t is quite possible
that there may be sharp further advance
and pool buying to help 1t along.
