New York, February S.-The Commer- cial-Advertiser's London financial cable gram says:
 Business here was impeded today by the approach of tomorrow's settlement. The news of Colonel Runners victory over General DeWet served to strengthen Kaffirs, but failed to stimulate them into much activity, and had little effect on the other departments,
 Americans advanced quickly in the ear ly dealings on the favorable bank state ment published In New York last Satur- day, but although New York at first ac- cepted the higher prices in the subse- Quent transactions the influence of New York was adverse, Union Pacific especi- ally weakening. In the street, however, there was recovery all around, infiu- enced by the better receipts of better quotations from London. The bank bought 10, 900 pounds In gold bars and re- ceived 12,000 pounds from Australia Money was scarce. but the bank renewed large loans to the market and lent con- siderable sums in addition. It also dis counted heavily, causing a big market There is no symptom of a cheapening of money rates, as heavy calls are due after the coming settlement.

New Orleans, February 25.-Under the Nnfuence of favorable conditions the local spot market opened quiet but very steady today, with buyers showing a disposition Fp pay full quoted prices for selected lists, but, later on, there developed a slightly easier feeling,as the result of the break in contract values and the purchas- Ing element (not too we'll supplied with prders) showed disposition to hold off A bit. The feeling of depression seems to have had its initiative on the other side,
 where reports were current today to the effect that certain works had ordered Short times and it did not take long for fhe cables to get in thedr work llere As matters stand. the position is, of a most uncertain character,
