NEW YORK. Feb. e.-The dealings in
the stock market today were lethargic and
devoid of particular significance. In view
of the approaching protracted suspension
OF business there was a natural DISPOSE
tion TO close out speculative contracts, and
as was TO be expected, this involved quite
general liquidation. There was, indeed, in
some shares what is styled in stock eX-
change parlance, good buying. but for the
most part the markets tendency was a
sagging one. The dealings were more lin
tied in volume than at any time during
The week. There was nothing in the day S
developments calculated TO stimu ate spec-
ulative interest in either directicn.
Rather more than the usual amount Of
interest, however, appeared TO be taken
in tomorrows bank statement, at what 1t
was expected would reflect the changed
conditions under which the operations be-
tween the banks and the subtreasury have
been conducted this week. While some
msgivings appear TO be arising in regard
10 the future of the money market, the
offerings of accommodation on time today
were liberal, and there was no appreciate
change in rates
London sent in higher range of prices
eiea houses were sellers of stocks in this
market 10 the extent of about 1900
shares. The news, or rather the rumors,
regarding the progress Of hostilities In
South Africa, was again conflicting. Lon
don appeared TO entertain an optimistic
view as TO the upshot OF the operations
now on foot, but the reports from non
British sources were not so encouraging
The decline in consols late in the day was
generally taken as indicating that the
British advance had been checked in some
direction. Nothing aside from board ru
mors that was new attended the move
meIts in particular stocks. The weakest
features of the Jarket were Western Union.
Sugar Refining. and Third Avenue. the
special affairs of which companies are suf
ficiently familiar TO anyone at all CONVEX
SAINT with current events. Tennessee Coal
and Iron also declined rather sharply. and
most of the other industrisls and special
ties were reactionary. American Tobacco
was an exception. on rumor that the next
dividend would be ordered al an increased
rate.
There were unusually large dealings In
The Erie Railway issues which were at
tended by reports that dividend on the
first preferred stock was under considera-
ton. The declines ia the railway issues
were for the most part fractional. and
there were no movements in thar quarter
requiring detailed comment.

BRADsTREET's OUTLOOK.
The strength Of staples Leading
Fcnture of the Week.


NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-Bradstreets for
February 10 will say:
The strength of staples. and particularly
those OF agricultural origin. is the leading
feature this week as last. In general trade,
weather indications have not favored Il
large distribution. but comparisons with a
year ago are still quite favorable. En-
lsrged speculation is reflected in increased
clearings and comparisons with last year
are again encouraging, while gains over
years previous 10 1899 are very marked.
I'm the strength Of demand and size of
advances. cotton is still easily first, but, al
though the crop movement has nOticeably
enlarged. so active has been the demand
from foreign spinners that fully 3Sc ad-
vance is shown.
The strength of the raw product natur-
ally affects manufactured goods, which are
very firm and in good demand from job
bers. Recent rains have Increased the sup
ply of water. and New England mills are
now running TO their fullest capacity.
Southern manufat turers are very busy and
will use one-siNth of the South's total cot
ton production this season.
Corn is higher partly in sympathy with
wheat, but also on reports Of damage TO
the Argentine crop by heat. Provisions
have been quite strong throughout the week
and an active demand is responsible for
higher prices of pork and lard in the
face of larger receipts Of hogs at primary
markets.
THE strength Of the raw sugar position
has been further Increased this week by
bullish reports from European beet mar
kets. and the expectation that the receipts
OF cane sugar are apt 10 he light in the
near future. Refined second grades have
been strong. partly owing to the strength
of raws, and partly TO the shutting down
of a number of refneries Coffee steadily
advances the result OF continued small
crop reports from Brazil and of good con-
slmptive demand here

Yesterdays business was not interesting
or important. Prices opened at about the
close of the night before, but during nearly
the entire session there was a sagging ten

rally at the close carried prices up frac-
tionally, so that the net loss for the day

Instead OF the slump in the iron trade
and the lower prices predicted by the
pessimists a few weeks ago there is every
prospect of even a greater business this
year than last. Predictions are now made
freely by experts that there will soon be
another advance in prices. Production Of
pig iron and of steel is increasing steadily
and rapidly. but il does not keep up with
the demand. Scarcity of coal in Great
Britain and in Europe is becoming an i'm
portant factor, and steel and iron prices
are advancing rapidly on the other side.
In short time there will be a demand for

Pacific Mail was again weak yesterday
getting within small fraction of 40. The
close at IL IL showed a net loss. Careful
people express the opinion that an advance
in the stock is not unlikely from this
level. The company is paying 3 per
cent dividends and is earning much more
than that with very near a certainty of
increasing its business steadily. Under
these circumstances 40 can hardly be con-
sidered an adequate price for it whether
the subsidy bill passes or not. II the COM
pany is TO be given a heavy subsidy, par

Many Logs to Come Down.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The city

others fearing an overcrowding OF
logs. No fear is now felt that logs
enough will not come to keep all the
mills going for the rest OF the season.
It is thought by some that too many
logs will come into the river below
Brainerd to be safely held during the
coming winter. If all the drives now
coming into the river are broughtin,
there will be something like 800, 00O,-
900 feet to I've wintered over. They
cannot be held safely below Brainerd
it is said. Other lumbermen do not
think logs enough can be brought
past Little Falls to feed the mills and
fill the log pockets. But the river
above Brainerd Is likely to be filed
with logs when the river freezes up.

From the 81. Cloud ~ rnes. AS

n JUDICIAL DIS TRIcT CONVENTION y X \ .s
M The Times has received, and
prints elsewhere, a call for q
Demo cratic judicial convention,
Sfor the Seventh district. To
state that this action is against
The wish Of almost every Demo-
scrat in this district, would be to
assert a self evident fact. After
Two or three weeks discussion
81 the proposed convention, we
can truthfully say that we have
vet to hear of a single St. Cloud
or Stearns county Democrat
who favors the movement.
There was one or two-there is
not one now. The calling OF
this convention is due to w. P.
Remer's insistance-for what
object we do know not. We un-
derstand Mr.. Wheelock, the
third member of the committee,
opposed the call and did not at
tend the meeting.
The Times has claimed from
the start that, forcing politics
into the election of our district
judges, would be a mistake; no
& matter what has been done in
other districts. AS the calling
of this convention is not the
work of the Democrats of the
district, the way to remedy this
error is for the convention to
endorse Judge Searle and ad-
journ.
That is the feeling of the
,Stearns county Democracy.
