LITTLE INTEREST
 IN STOCK MARKET Professional Traders Had It All
 to Themselves. BEARS MADE AN EARLY RAID They Were Finally Driven to Cover on the Development of Aggressive ; Strength in Some of the
 .., Leading Stocks

New York February 19.-The outside pub lie still refuses to manifest any interest in the stock market to-day, and operations continued wholly in the hands of profess sional traders. This. clement made an att tempt to force a continuance of fast weeks reaction, using as their main argument the drain being made upon the cash resources of the banks.
 To-day's statement of sub-treasury oper- ations showed loss already since Friday to that institution of $l AZ, ,00O. This show ing helped the bears in an early raid on the market, which wiped ou the opening gains and carried prices generally below Saturdays closing level. One or two stocks suffered from individual cause and helped on the reaction. Pacific Madl, Peoples Gas, and hird Avenue showed continued weak mess, and Pennsylvania was depressed on reports of a new car trust, involving many million dollars.
 The bears did net succeed in bringing out amy large offerings, and were given to cover on the development of aggressive strength in several stocks, including sugar, rubber, Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville; tobacco general electric, Lackawanna, and Third Avenue.
 The continued ease of call money which ranged from 2q21s per cent, neutralized the alarmiSt view from any market outlook. Slighlt effort was produced also by the re- ports of further British success in South Afnica. Erie telephone rose buoyanItly some points. Dealings were not on a large scale, and the market fell dull before the close, but held quite firm near the close
 Business in bonds showed some falling off in volume, and price changes were fixed. Total sales, par value, $1 1885 900. United States old As and 5s advanced B, and the 2s F in the bid price.
 New York, February 19.-Money on call steady at 2@2la per cent: last loan at 21z per cent; prime mercantile paper, 465 per cent; sterling exchange firm, with actual business in bankers bills at 4.S7a4@4.S .S8 for demand, and 4.S41494. .S41k for sixty days; posted rates, 4.s5 and 4.SS1k; commercial bills, 4.S3t1@4.S4

Murphy & Company.s Stock Letter

New York, February 19.-The London stock market this morning was very much excited over the favorable reports received from South Africa and the American list as slightly higher. The opening of the market, while dull. was generally at slight 1y better figures. The trade throughout the entire day was very light, only 175 900 shares being traded in up to noon. Sugar at one time showed an upward tendency but on every advance was met with selling orders. T. C.. l., after selling at 9SlA, ad- vanced to 99B and closed at 991b. l.. & N. gained over l per cent, while the granger list gained 1@1A per cent. Money ruled easy at per cent
 The steel and iron stocks were a shade higher, while the local street railway list was shade higher. While there is every indication for a further advance in the steel and wire stocks as well as the coalers we would advise sales on all rallies of the balance of the list, especially Sugar.

COTTON WAS WEAK ON THE OPENING
 vf
  Early Cables Disappointing and Prices Went Off. .,.  LATER REPORTS BULLISH
Market Recovered. Loss Without Ex- citement-Good Buying for New Eng land Mills Gave Strength-Vol-
 ume of Business Was Small

New York, February 19-The action of the local cotton market reflected increased he's dtation. Early cables were disappointing, and led to weak opening with prices show ing a. decrease of 294 points on the call. For some time the feeling continued weak under the pressure of long cotton, and prices continued to decline until the low level was S@11 points, under the closing prices of Saturday. In addition to bear ish cables the days pogt receipts were esti- mated at a higher figure than last week and last year. Subsequently, however, the mar ket became firmer, without being aggres- siyely bulhsh on some recovery in the Eng lish market, as shown by later cables. Gov ering became more CT less active, and prices not only returned to the closing fig ures of Saturday, but at one time showed a net gain of 1Q2 points on. the more ac- tive positions. There was also some good buying led by local concern having large New England connections This house bougt about 10000 bales, chiefly March, Ap- ri and May, and although this could not be classed as active buying, it developed the fact that the market was ready to re- spond ito anything like bullish leadership. the shorts being nervous and easily driven to cover. here was very little outside spec lrlatien at any time during the session.
 The days market, so far as the volume in business was concerned, was the smallest of recent times, and closed steady att net l point higher to points lower.
