In 1880 the area OF the British for

be set down as about 3h millions OF

compared with those Of 1899, are yet
quite respectable They were vastly
greater than other nations of that time

than any nation can even now show

British empire contains over IL mil

white people. that is 40 millions In the

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Feb. 17.--Murphy & Co. say:
The Liverpool advices were very disap-
pointing to the local bulls, 1-32d declines on
spots and 3-6id on futures AS a conse-
quence our first prices at opening were 8
10 below last night, but after the call
on some local covering and buying for Eu-
rope, prices improved trifie, the strength
of March contributing much towards sus-
tanning the whole line. Receipts continue
large and though ignored at the moment,
it would tell If continued much longer.
The Southern markets are not quite so
strong as lately ruling. though confidence
in prices continues unabated. The Chron-
icle reports pretty general rains during
the past week, interfering somewhat with
farm work.
New York, Fen. 17.-Hubbard Bros.
& Co. say: The market has been
quiet but steady during the session, with
some demand for the inside deliveries, AL
though a decline was established on the
newer prices prevailing. Business has
been on a small scale. Foreign advices
report a distinct pause in the spot market
and that spinners are buying only to salts
fly their immediate wants. Manchester
has a good undertone. Much of the recent
buying abroad has been speculative, and
ii is believed is weakly held. Reports
from Egypt are not favorable for the new
crop. kilograms from the South say that
the interior markets are weakening, and
that the long interest throughout the
country is becoming uneasy.

STOCKS AND BONDS,

New York Feb. 17-Attention today
centered almost wholly on the weekly
statement of the clearing house banks.
The public continued to hold alcof from
the market and buying and selling was
entirely in the hands of professional
traders. These were inclined to the short
side of the market in anticipation of the
weak bank return which had been clearly
foreshadowed by the record of sub-treas-
ury operations for the week, by the course
of New York exchange at other domestic
centers and by yesterdays preliminary
estimates by the banks themselves of the
currency movement for the week.
As is the invariable rule where condi-
ton has been accurately foreseen and dis
counted. the event brings reaction, due TO
the taking of speculative profits, either on
the long or the short side of the market.
In to-days market, the bears started to
cover their short contracts after the bank
statement and worked sharp rally. Some
stocks were attacked anew in the final
dealings making the close Irregular but
the general list was firm at the rally. The
bears found Pacific Mail vulnerab bic 10 fur
Their attack and had some success with
Peoples Gas but Thirl Avenue offer ed
some resistance. A large selling order
was detected in National Steel and that
stock was offered down H. causing SYM
pathetic declines in number of the other
metal stocks. Federal Steel preferrei
fell an extreme "a. National Steel rallied,
but dropped again to the lowest and
American Hoop fell ~ in the final deal
ings.
The developments in the money situation
may account for the weakness in the iron
industriais as they are still looked upon
with disfavor by bankers and money
lenders as collateral. The decrease in the
cash account of the banks conformed very
closely to preliminary estimates and the
loan expansion of $13, 6S4, 800 created no
great surprise, in view of the recent ten
dency and the known pressure for accom-
mediation in all departments of the bust
ness world.
The weekly trade reviews sufficiently
indicated the widespread activity in bus
mess in all lines, at a high level of prices.
Surprise is felt that call money should
have continued in apparently abundant
supply at 2 per cent. during yesterday.
II is difficult to discern any prospect OF
early relief from the factors which are
making inroads on the banks cash res
sources and with continual pressure upon
the banks at the present rate for credits
the encroachments upon surplus reserves
must be rapid.
There has been a good business in tire

Morning News Office, Feb. 1.-THE fea-
tur, of the markets to-day was the ad-

which amounted to over 5000 barrels. AT

The demand seems to be as strong as at

weak. and there is very little business do
