New York, Feb. 19-T'he outside public
sin refused 20 manifest any interest in
the stock market to-day, and operations
continued wholly IN the hands Of profess
sional traders This element made an at
tempt TO force a continuance of last week 8
reaction. using as their main argument
the drain being made on the cash re-
sources OF the banks.
To-day's statement of sub-treasury op.
eralions showed loss already since Feb
IS TO that institution of 81 .42l 900. This
showing helped the bears in an early raid
on the market. which wiped out the OPEN
inH gains and carried prices generally he
low Saturdays closing level. One or two
slocks suffered from individual causes and
helped on The reaction. Pacific Mail Peo-
PIES Gas and Third Avenue showed con-
tinued weakness, and Pennsylvania was
depressed on reports of new car trust
involving many million dollars. The bears
did not succeed in bringing out any large
offerings and we're driven to cover on the
development Of aggressive strength in sev-
eral stocks, including Sugar. Rubber. To-

The most potent factor in the rally was
the very large increase in earnings Tor
the second week in February shown by a
number of railroads. Norfolk and Western
made tie most striking exhibit, with an
increase over the corresponding period or
last year of $lS8 SIS, which is very nearly
So per cent. This resulted In very large
absorption of the stock at an extreme adj
vance of pa, and had a sympathetic effect
on all the hituminous coal carrying roads
contributing 20 the rally IN PennsylNanif
ana Baltimore and Ohio. These evidences
of the large demand for bituminous coal
were coupled with reports of Increasing
use Of anthracite IN steam production be-
cause Of difficulty in Obtaining soft coal.
In the Southern group, Louisville ana
Nashville made a showing for the week,
which was 81 per cent. better than that
of last year, the increase in gross amount
Jag 10 $1S6 345. Al The returns received
show striking gains though those cnum-
Grated are the largest.
Cotton carrying roads especially showed
recovery from the recent low level Of earn
ngs, and were advanced in price In con-
sequence The tonic effect OF these extra
ordinary earnings proved too much for the
beats, and they were forced to cover. The
continued case Of call money. which rang
ed from to 2i2 per cent, neutrallzed the
alarmist view of the money market out
look. Some slight effect was produced
also by the reports of further British sue
cesses in South Africa. Erie Telephone

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Feb. 19-For the third time
within a week, Liverpool adyices have
been very Disappointing TO our local bulls
std advance was expected to-day in re-
Spouse 30 the frmness here Saturday. in
stead of which Liverpool declined ACID to-
day and closed 2-64d lower on near and
lad on far months, which, with large re-
ceipts at the ports, caused liqudating sales
this morning, resulting in a decline of 10
points. The absorbing demand by large
handlers of cotton for milling points caus-
ed the reaction and flrmer feeling this aft
ernoon. Receipts for the week estimated
10000 at ports VS.. 10000 same time last
week and $1,000 bales corresponding week
last year.
New York, Feb. 19.-TIubbard Bros. &
Co. say: Liverpool was the disappointing
market to-day, closing quiet and steady
at decline of two points This decline
Is reported 10 be due to the free exports
and 10 the large amount of cotton bought
by Manchester during the past six weeks
Our own market, however. has shown a
very firm undertone, as after the opening
decline the market recovered all of the
early loss, Notwithstanding the large
movement of the crop. Large receipts ~
The ports are expected as The result Of
these purchases for export, but it was NOT
thought the movement at the interior
towns would keep up as IL does. Europe
has practically covered all of their inter
ests in this market. In fact, some OF the
arbitrage houses are reported to have
gone long on balance. The temper of the
local trade is bulish On our small stock
believing that this market must approach
Liverpool within d narrower range than
at any time this season. Exchange brok-
ers report big purchases of cotton bills.
and say that the exports are expected to
be very heavy. Nearby positions are ad-
vanced by spot dealers to attract the
high grades for which this market pays
a higher uranium than any other.

resulted from this slump in the mercury.

warrant the statement that this little cold
snap has done less damage than would be
supposed. The fruit trees have been
backward this spring, and orange trees
have not put on their bloom around the
city which gives hope that the damage
will be but small Many precautions were
taken with groves, notwths standing the iact
that the trees were not booming, and it

they cannot be hurt TO any great extent.
