market made at the beginning of the
week, there was a natural and healthy
reaction. The market, however, was
exceedingly feverish. and the variations
in prices either WAY were of kind OF
which the conservative element in the
trade cannot entirely approve. Toward
the close of the week, however, bullish
sentiment in spite of the manifestly
heavy liquidation of long holdings, has
again obtained the ascendancy, and, al
though variable, the market seems to
be in line for some further rise even
If it should not be permanently held. The
fact that New York continues to be
relatively the cheapest cotton market
does not escape attention, and those who
argue that the advance is, not running
beyond intrinsic conditions can with JUS
tice point to the circumstances that the
spot markets at Southern points are OH
the whole devoid of reactionary tenden
cies, and that in this instance at least
speculation has to all appearances failed
to over-discount the actual relations OF
supply to demand
AT same time the market has had am
pie grounds for experiencing measure
able reaction. Receipts have been large,
and while they do not justify the as
sumption INDUCED in by some interest
that large amounts of cotton are being
held back at the South, the circum-
stance has, of course, affected the action
of foreign consumers. AS we have
pointed out for weeks past, it is the at
titude of the foreign spinners which is
bound to determine the course of cotton
prices and the ultimate level of quota
tons for the present years crop. SO far
as can be learned there is, however, NO
reason to doubt the fact that English
and Continental spinners have over
stayed their market, are undersupplied,
and will, therefore, have to pay the
prices for raw material to fill their en-
gagements at the figures which such
condition will render legitimate.
Under existing conditions there will
naturally be considerable manipulation
and a correspondingly wide range of fluc-
tuations. The rational view of the posi-
ton, however, seems to be that prices
for contracts in the cotton of the pres
ent crop year are purchases whenever
the market has any reasonably large
reaction

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb. 17.-Attention today
conferred almost wholly on the weekly
statement of the clearing house banks.
The rmb,ic Continued to hold aloof 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 ths
weak bank return which had been clear
ly foreshadowed by the record of Sub
Treasury operations for the week, by
the course of New York exchange at
other domestic centres and by yesterdays
preliminary estimates by the banks them
selves of the currency movement fer the
week. As is the invariable rule where
condition has been accurately fore
seen and discounted, the event brings
reaction. due to the taking of specula-
tive profits, either ON the long or the
short side of the market. In today's
market. the bears started to cover their
short contracts after the bank statement
and worked a sharp rally. Some stocks
were attacked anew in the final dealings
making the close irregular, but the gen
eral list was firm at the rally. The bears
found Pacific Mail vulnerable to further
attack and had some success with Peo-
pies Gas, but Third Avenue offered
some resistance. A large selling order
was detected in National Steel and thar
stock was offered down 112, causing
sympathetic declines in a number OF the
other metal stocks. Federal Steel pre-
feared fell an extreme 2a4. National
Steel rallied, hut dropped again to the
lowest and American Hoop fell suddenly
an extreme 134 in the final deaI ings. The
developments in the money situation may
account for the weakness I'm the iron un-
dustrials, 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 Sl3,6S4,2OO
created no great surprise, IN view of the
recent tendency and the known pressure
for accommodation in all departments
of the business world.
The weekly trade reviews sufficiently
indicate the widespread activity in bust
ness I'm all lines, at high level of prices.
Surprise is rather felt that call money
should have continued in apparently
abundant supply at two per cent, dur ne
yesterday. 1t is difficult to discern any
prospect of early relief from the factors
which are making inroads on the banks
cash resources and with continued pres
sure upon the banks at the present rate
for credits, the encroachments upon sur
plus reserves must be rapid.
There has been a good business in the
bond market although prices We're not
fully maintained at all points.

the plight of foreign spinners was be-

the short account here and in Liverpool
was declared to be prodigious. On the
other side was an advance of 112c with
no reaction, extreme timidity in outside

The vrack was dark shiny where 1t foated In
the sea,
There was no one in the brown boat but only him
Him to cut the sea wrack, me TO mind the boat,
An not a word between the hours were
afoat.
The wet wrack,
The sea wrack,
The wrack strong to cut.
We laid it on the gray rocks to wither in the sum-
An what should call my lad then to sail from
Cushendun?
With low moon, full tide, swell upon the
deep,
Him to sail the old boat, me to fall asleep.
The cry wrack,
The wrack,
The wrack dead soon.
There's fire low upon the rocks to burn the
wreck to kelp;
There's boat gone down upon the Moyle an
one to helpl
Him beneath the salt sea, me upon the shore;
BY sunlight moonlight we'll lift the wrack no
more.
The dark wrack,
The sea wrack,
The wrack may drift ashore
