Puget sound ports are being rapidly
strengthened in the campaign for oriental
traffic by the addition Of new. steamship
lines. Beginning Aug. l the Boston Steam
ship company will operate a line OF
steamers, connecting with the Northern
Pacific between Tacoma and Seattle and
the Philippines, China Japan and Siberia.
Three Of the boats will run to Manila by
way of Japanese and Chinese ports. Two
others will take in Vladivostock and ports
in China and Japan. "- 5s.5 \.
AT the present time the north coast
lines are pushing arrangements for hand
ling, oriental traffic much more rapidly
than their competitors to the south. Since
the Great Northern was purchase by It's

their brightest hope. President Shaugh-
Messy Of the Canadian Pacific says that

of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific,

There was also a little export business.

Seaboard reported moderate business

THE LOCAL AND GENERAL MARKETS
THE COTTON MARKET.
Cheering Reports Received From
Fall River and Providence.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE tone of the
cotton market was strong owing TO firm
Liverpool advances and a persistent de-
mand which came from the South. from
wall Street, from Europe, in fact, from
all directions.
Fall River and Providence reports were
cheering. speaking Of active trade and an
upward tendency of prices, and Man
chester reported a good South American
trade and advancing prices. Later on
there was a reaction owing to large es-
innate from huuston.
1t is an undoubted fact that the crop
movement is large, so large as to shake
the faith of some in the correctness OF
small crop estimates. Yet it is quite as
clear that if the movement is big the
demand is also big. At the same time
powerful interests are still arrayed on the

expressed was confined to comparatively
neglected stocks. The ordinaril: active

The bulk of the dealings in that quar-

number OF the lower-priced issues and in
the specialties. The trading at large did
not seem to be governed by any common
motives.
Naturally. satisfaction was expressed
that a suspension of the imposition of the

believed that the last had been heard of

RegnininG Ira Il. @.

The recently published quarterly state
ment Of earnings for the Manhattan
Company, rejecting the extent to which
II is regaining its ordinary traffic, was
again an influence in the strength of the
stock. An active discussion upon the
merits Of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
ways financial plan was again waged, but
the common conclusion appeared TO be ar
rived at that the general situation of the
stock did not warrant the maintenance
of a short position in 1t.
In the railway list the active features
were Baltimore and Ohio, Colorado South
ern. the Reading shares. Southern Pacific.
the Wabashes, and Southern Railway Sc
Curities.
In the initial dealings Southern Rail-
way preferred was materially depressed.
without any particular explanation of its
tendency, but with the course of the day
IL recovered its early loss.

Steel stocks Strong.

The United States Steel stocks were
strong, presumably in connection with to-
days first annual meeting OF the share
holders, at which felicitations upon the
state Of the property were naturally in
order.
The fluctuations in Amalgamated Copper
were not particularly extensive, and the
only new circumstance bearing upon the
stock that could be noted was the rise of
over sc Is. ger ton in the price OF the
metal in London.
The dealings in the local traction stocks
were quite active. and in the curb market
there were exceedingly wide fluctuations
in the new Metropolitan Securities stocks
The tone in this quarter was firm and
Manhattan Railway was particularly
strong.
The Manhattan Railway Company's S
balance sheet of December 81 shows that
the company still has outstanding loans
on collateral more than s., 600, 900, de-
crease in the year OF $1,000, co., the dif-
ference representing chiefly the outlays
upon the property in connection with its
electrical equipment.
