STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb 26.-The most notable
feature of to-days feverish and excited
st01k market was the fact that the rail-
road department apparently succeeded in
breaking away from the influence of the
industras and specialties and in differ
entiat ting the undeniable elements OF
strength in the department from the de-
moralization and weakness in the other.
The railroads succumbed in the early
dealings to the sympathetic influence of
the violent declines amongst the indus
trials, but during the day a confident de-
mand sprang up for number Of railroad
stocks which lifted the whole level OF that
department materially above Saturdays

mss OF a number Of the industrials. The
movement had all the appearance of
sort of duel between powerful contending
interests. and there are circumstances
tending to confirm this explanation Of the
movement.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb 26.-The cotton market
to-day reflected an unusual confusion Of
ideas and but little new business was at
tempted. feeling of caution led to
mutual desire to lquidate and in this
way quite a business was transacted with
out changing prices very much. The Liv-
erpool cables were Disappointing and the
early outlook was for liberal port re-
ceipts Prices gave way 5Nl0 points on
tho opening call, which furnished the
weakest period Of the market. The sub
seauent course of prices was irregular,
but in the main upward. Before noon the
opening loss had been recovered and still
later business increased the advance to
a gain of l04 points. The reaction origi-
mated in covering, started by later better
cables, although the English news as a
whole was not considered satisfactory.
Private advlces stated that the failure on
the part Of Liverpool to respond to our
advance Of Saturday was due to relief In
the way Of arrivals Of cotton which met
the immediate wants Of spinners. In the
