STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb. 4-The stock market
was under the influence OF the news of
the purchase of control of the Southern
Pacific by a syndicate in the interests
of Union Pacific. Notwithstanding the
plain confederation by the tape on Fri
day of the rumors of the deal the
speculators were not without doubts
and the official admissions after the
nal lxet had closed on Friday found
the street in a state of unpreparednesS.
The natural consequence was a large
and excited demand for stocks at the
opening today. AS a result of the ac-
emulation of buying orders IN com
mission offices since last Friday there
were wide openings in various STOCKS
under the excited bidding of competing
brokers. They bought 1880 shares OF
Union Pacific upon the fall of the nam
mer at simultaneous prices of 1875 TO
1914 compared with S1A on Friday
night. The opening price in Southern
Pacific was the highest that stock sell
ing at both 4712 and a. on the transfer
of 5000 shares. The demand came from
London. and the opening price mere was
considerably below the parity OF that
established in London this morning
Opinion in Wall street does not lean 10
the conclusion that the sale of the road
IS for the benefit of the stock which re-
mains on the market, as it constitutes
minority stock OF a road presumably
to be operated for the best interests of
Union Pacific The professional specu-
latcrs took an active part in the mar
ket with the advantage offered of the
large outside demand for stocks at
tracted by the Southern Pacific deal.
In their manipulation to advance prices,
one operator made a demonstratiVe bid
for 900 shares of Union Paclflc at
90 If was quickly supplied in single
block and as consequence Union Pa
eific ruled below that for the rest OF the
day. The completion of the Southern
Pacific transaction caused addltlonai
credence to rumors of other similar
transactions 1t is highly probable also
that the likelihood of further such
transactions is increased by the frui-
ton Of this plan. The large demand Tor
Atchison and for Rock Island was at
tracted by this probability The move
ment in these two stocks was, on the
whole, the most conspicuous of the
day The advance in Atchison reached
35s and in Rock Island "a on very large
dealings. The movement in Louisville
and Nashville was apparently based on

New York, Feb. 4.-Owing to bad
weather spot business has been slow
today. Orders from the road of about
average volume. No change in prices
of any line of either staple or fancy

little interest in them. Prices average

COTTON.
New York. Feb. FRIDAYS advance
i'm the local cotton market was aug
mented today by additional gains. due
as was Tho nsthe case, to covering by
nervous shorts and light buving for for
eign account. Investors were slow to
enter the rit owing TO conflicting re-
ports concerning the disposition in
tended by the January clique of its TAX
ings on contract. Crop estimates and
the crop movement were also conflict
ing. on the opening the market was,
quiet and FIVE points higher to one point
lower Fol the rest of the forenoon
business was light with the shorts alone
showing o positive attitude. Much
smaller receipts Saturday and today
with generally firm public and private
Liverpool cables, caused that branch of
the trade to seek protection and avoid
lVtrther commitmerisS ON khe short
side. Manchester was reported to be
doing a better business with foreign
countries now than at any time since
the season opened, while holders of spot
cotton were said to be holding out for
higher prices. In the afternoon short
nervousness increased on predictions
fer another bullish change in prices
abroad tomorrow and for continued
light receipts. Sellers were scarce and
the market seemed almost bare of cot
ton, while the short interest in March
ana May proved itself to be more ex-
tensive than generally supposed. The
market was finally quiet and steady
with prices unchanged to nine points
higher.

VERDICT OF scHLEY COURT.

/ The report Of the Schley- court Of in
Y curry has been promulgaTed by Secre
taTy Long.
There are two reports. Admirals
Benham and Ramsay concur In The
first, which is signed by Admiral Dew
\ ey also as a matter of form. Admiral
! Dewey makes a separate report, al
/ though he agrees with the findings OF
facts subscribed to by the others. The
majority report condemns Admiral
Schiey on IL points, while Admiral
dewey sustains him in most pauticu-
lars.
The majority opinion finds, in brief
that Admiral Schley should have pro
Eeeeded with the utmost dispatch ITO
| Cienfuegos and maintained a close
blockade; that he should have endeav-
ored to obtain information of the Span
ish squadron there; that he should
have proceeded to Santiago with dis
patch; that he should not have made
the retrograde movement; that he
should have >obeyed the departments
orders; that he should have ,endeavor-
ed to capture the Spanish vessels in
Santiago; that he did not do his ut
most to. destroy the Colon; that he
Fcaused the squadron to lose distance
IN the loop Of the BROOKLYN that he
thereby caused the Texas to back; that
he did injustice to Hodgson; that his
conduct in the campaign was charac-
terized by vacillation, dilatoriness and
Lack of enterprise; that his official re-
ports on the coal supply were mislead-
ing and inaccurate; that his conduct
during the battle was self-possessed
and that he encouraged in his own per-
son his subordinate officers and men.
Admiral Dewey, in his report, says
that the passage to CiRpfuegos was
made with all dispatch that in view
of his coal supply the blockade of Glen
7fuegos was effective; that he allowed
stheT Adula to enter ,Cienfuegos to get
information; that his passage to, San
tiago was with as much dispatch as
possible, keeping the. squadron to-
gether; that the blockade of Santiago
was effective, and, finally, that he was
the senior. aAcer Pff Santiago, in alb
solutee command, and entitled to the
credit: due for the glorious victory
which resulted In the total destruction
of the Spanish ships.
Admiral Schley, through his attor-
neys, has requested Secretary Long to
withhold his approval of the court of
inquiryss findings as he desires to pro-
test against the report of the major
