STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Feb A-The general specu.
latve sentiment as reflected in The stock
market, was a good deal obscured to-day
by the Generalization in Third Avenue
Active trading in a stock with a resulting
decrease in the price of over 10 points is
bound to have a considerable effect In
narrow market, however peculiar and in
dividual may be the cause which induces
the selling. A rather violent break in
Tennessee Coal had the same tendency
AS a matter of fact, traders were disposed
60 sch stocks on the general outlook es-
pecially the reports from trade authorities
that prices OF materials, especially the
metals, were yielding. There was also
the fear that the cutting of grain rates
on the trunk lines would spread to other
class iicatons and some rather striking
declines in the volume of bank clearngs
compared with the corresponding period of
last year.
Reports by telegraph 10 the Financial
Chronicle for five days show a large
shrinkage, not only at New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, but at Baltimore
amounting 10 over SO per cent. and at ST
Louis of nearly 4 per cent. New Orleans
however, expanded It's clearing over A
per cent, Chicago 10 per cent. and other
cities outside the seven leading cities So

Railroad earnings continue TO show large
increases, siXty-one roads which have al
ready reported for the second week in
February showing an average increase Of
SO45 per cent. over the corresponding pc
riod of last year. Strong returns were
made during the day for the third week

and Rio Grande Western.
There was good buying of some OF the
coa-carrying railroad stocks, and a rally
ing tendency in The market which was
checked somewhat by the renewed weak
ness in Third Avenue and the New York
utilities in the final dealings. The de-
cline in cash shown by the bank state
ment very near to the estimates. Rut

"A plant has recently been installed at
Rouen, in which use will be made of the
carbonic acid gas given off during fer
mentation In breweries and distilleries. M
Louis Meeus of Wynghem has devised a
plan to make use of the waste product
which In the case of one distillery where
5000 gallons OF alcohol are manufactured
daily, amounts to nearly 5000 pounds in
twenty-four hours. This gas Is now col
lected by a system of exhausters, and by
means of COMPRISING pumps is liquified
under a pressure Of fifty-five atmospheres
and stored in steel cylinders, carrying ten
kilogrammes each. With these cylinders
the gas can be used for any of the familiar
processes such as charging soda water
edphons, or producing intense cold, and
its manufacture promises TO be a valuable
adjunct to the factories where the sys-
tenn has been installed.

COTTON.

The cotton market closed steady to-day
q an advance of Is cent on all grades.
Transactions on the tables were light but
there was a considerable outside business
doing The feature of the movement at
present is the large increase in the sea-
sons receipts. which are now only about
$3.50 bales, the same period for last year.
Considering the fact most other ports are
far behind in the seasons receipts, the
showing Savannah is making gratifies the
local trade, and is taken as an pnmistak-
able indication that this port is receiving
its full share of cotton, and possibly more.
The facilities for shipping from Savan-
nah make it the preferable, all things be-
ing equal, and the fact nearby ports are
proDOrtionately further behind than Sa-
rannah, seems to indicate that the bust
ness is coming this way.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close of the market, at the
Cotton Exchange to-day:

AT a recent dinner the Chinese minis
ter at Washington, Mr.. WI Ting-fang,
found himself in company with William
j. Bryan, and could not resist the temp
tation to have a iittle fun at that gentle
mans expense. When Mr.. Wa began TO
talk he said that he felt entirely safe
about his utterances being treated as con-
fidental. Nevertheless, he thought that
he had better be discreet, because there
was a gentleman present who he UNDER
stood, might occupy the White House
some time and might be in a position 10
hand him his passports If he said any
thing distasteful. However" continued
the minister, with that guileless air which
distinguishes his race, "it Is altogether
probable that l shall have to leave Wash
ington before he Is President"

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Feb. 24.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co say: Liverpool continues to be the
leading market drawing up the others
though there was undoubtedly an in
crease in the speculative buying here
to-day. Reports from Memphis state the
movement in that section will be very
Fight after the 1st of March. At the other
interior reporting the movement keep well
up to the average but the trade believe it
will fall off after the LIST of March. The
temper of the trade is decidedly bullish
and the movement has no effect upon the
market. A higher market is expected in
Liverpool on Monday and traders gener-
ally are taking cotton home with them to-
night. The advance seems to have check
ed the export of cotton goods, the Chron-
icle giving the exports from the beginning
of the year at $500 cases, against 1890
cases last season.

due to selling against purchases of high

does not reflect any weakness in Southern
