Erie Issues were strong on the statement for January. which sanguine spirits here multiplied by twelve and made the basis for talk of BE per cent dividend on common stock. Even those who were much more moderate in their estimates and predictions seem to expect a full, regular dividend on the first preferred Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul stocks were in good demand on the belief that dividend on the common will be increased.
 The upward tendency which these lead CTS gave the American lists was checked when Wall street opened and sent over selling orders for Union Pacific issues. New York's attitude caused a general sag of prices.

STEEL STOCKS SUFFERED

New York, February 2S.-After an un- 4Svailing effort to check the yielding ten dency of prices, the market gave up to the threatening depression and the clos ling was decidedly weak at the lowest, with something very like & spilling put Of stocks. going on all the list
 The steel stocks were most acutely at- fected, and were weak throughout. One 'orst two. in the group advanced slight fractions at one time under the process of arbitrage operations, which involved purchases to cover sales in other stocks, but the prevailing disposition was clearly to sell. Dealings continued on the curb -in the contracts to deliver United States Steel Corporation stocks, when issued, though not on as large scale as yester- day These stocks, which were regarded ,as the index of the value of all the mem bers of. the group, showed an increasing ly heavy tone Bids of 37 for the common and ss2k for the preferred were put in at the, opening by brokers acting for the banking interests concerned in the organ ization of the new company.
 ss-Therexwas some flrmness in the com mon stock during the day, but in the closing dealings, the bid for the common stock was reduced to 36 and for the pre- ferred to 80 The good conditions report ed in the iron and steel trade by the Iron Age in Its issue today was disregarded In the trading in the steel stocks The last prices showed National Tube Az lower than last night; American Hoop, Steel and Wire and Steel and Wire pre- ,ferredf from.2 to 21s, and the others of the group from a fraction to nearly points,
 The stocks not included in the con solidation were also weak. Tennessee Coal declining nearly 3 points. Published reports from Pittsburg of dissatisfac- tion on the part of the National Tube stockholders with the terms of the ex- change were an influence in the depres- sion. The relapse in Sugar Tobacco and St. Paul, after shoFt-lived opening bulge, also served to discourage the spec ulation. Efforts were made to substitute other stocks for the purpose of sustain ing the market but they were intellectual. They were most conspicuous in the smelt ing stocks, which rose 5ss for the com mon and 29s for the preferred, Anaconda with rise of 21s and Amalgamated Cop per with an advance of points.
 f" The money market continued easy, not withstanding the large absorption by the sub-treasury and the demands for the month-end settlements.
 Probably the true explanation of the heaviness of the market Is the innation of the trading with many of the largest forces in the speculative world away on vacation after the prolonged period of unprecedented activity and excitement In the stock market. --=-s

PRICE CLOSED NET LOWEF

New York, February B.-March manip- ulation was the sole feature of interest on the local cotton exchange today. The rest of the list was quiet and scarcely varied 5 points from the closing of yes terday., Sentiment was peculiarly mixed with bearish leaning, yet shorts and be- lievers In lower prices generally feared to take aggressive steps so long as the spot month was dominated by a strong clique. On the first call prices were l to 6 points lower, a sympathetic move with weakness in the English market, where a sharp decline from the opening had re- suited under liquidation brought out by the issuance of 4o,00o bales notices. Re- ceints at-the ports were much larger than expected. while the investment mani fested positively no substantial interest In the market.
 Following the call, March fell rapidly under selling by outside and tired room longs. and In the absence of anything like stubborn support. It was reported that % 09O March notices were put out, and this helped to undermine the March position. A decline of 13 points was re- corded after which there was a bare point change until near the close. It was reported that the parties who had is- sued March notices were buying the same option in the pit at 13 points under the price at which the same cotton was sold late yesterday. That they intended to re- issue notices on the same cotton again tomorrow and repeat today's perform ance, was rumoTed late in the session and gave belated longs additional cause for alarm. 5sl
 Shorts feared a final corner of March room bears, and in efforts to cover pres ent crop month over sales. held those op- tions well up to the bid level of last night. Wall street, the south. the west and Europe furnished few orders. Trad ing at no time was active and for the most part comprised settlements of old accounts as matter of precaution and pending a return of normal conditions The market was finlly quiet, with prices net B points lower on March, with oth- CT months unchanged to points low CT.

New orieans Cotton Market.

New Orleans February 8-There was considerable looking around among sam pie rooms in the spot cotton market dur ing the morning hours today. The uncer- tain position of the Liverpool market in which approximately 10000 bales were rendered in contracts today thereby breaking down prices after a morning advance and the fact that receipts con tinue relatively heavy, while the short time movement among the mills Is stead fly spreading has had the effect of cur tailing the volume of buying orders re- ceived here. Factors are standing we'll against all efforts.to, cut down the level of prices, but occaajonal orders to close out lists held on consignment are begin ming to come in. Not a great deal of trading was noted during the early hours In the market for contracts for the fu- ture delivery. The May position claimed a fair share of attention, but other months were badly neglected, and, so far as they were concerned, the business transacted was largely representative of floor work. Liverpool's position was the dominating influence in the markets on this side today. The British opening was very promising. spots being up 1-32d and deliveries 1-64d to 2-64d during the morn ing hour. But the enormous tenders, some 10000 bales making a total of near ly S0o00 up to date this month exerted demoralizing effect upon the bulls and contract prices broke almost to yester- days figures, the market closing one to two points higher.
