WALL STREET REVIEW
PRICES DRA0oEn DOWNWARD DURING THE DAY.
The Forecast of the Bank Statement and Prospect of Heavy Addi-> tional Requirements Were
 the Main Causes.

NEW YORK, Feb 26.-The forecast of the bank statement and the prospect of additional reauremenss upon New ed. yoan na drarred prices downwards. The decline toward the latter .part of thei morning showed more con the week. Prices Of all classes of stocks were alike, affected, both the minor speciaities. among which there had been some show ot standard stocks, which had lain inert until the selling movement began. The liquidation serious. but 1t was evident that 1t was thought best to be prepared for contingencies In the money market and take in all sail .L possible, movement, as, usually published on Friday. which include the known movement of money have lost nearly SC. .ooo, GOO in cash during the week The exports of gold called exactly press movement with the interior was in fa- of New York to the extent of less than . at the sub-treasury $500. 900 for transfer to Chicago, which would about wipe out earlier
 gain by the banks. The loan item remains in the usual obscurity, but there has been no i'm portant stock liquidation. Syndicate subscrip- tions to the interior and the starch combina- ton have been called and there is a possibility that the gold exports represent the paying of of foreign obligations and their transfG to local banks. as was the case with the last fore of a very weak bank return tomorrow
 Beyond that, the persistent firmness of the foreign exchange market indicates that further gold will go out by export next week. Ths hrst deposit at the sub-treasury for transfer to the West Is generally accepted as the sign of the turning movement of currency away from New York to meet the usual Spring re- auirements in the interior. New York ex- change at Chicago, however recovered today from 50 cents discount to 20 cents discount. The request to the treasury authorities for permission to deposit gold in New York to be drawn son at San Francisco foreshadows . nearly ss s. ooo. GOO and which is connected with syndicate payments for street railway properties With surplus reserves of the bank last Saturday are already down to the modest showing of SIP. .4SS. $50 the money outlook seems somewhat formidable for speculatorss on
 margin who are dependent upon the calls1oan

The amount brought into sight to March tst is 8, 662 GOO. adding the Southern consumption for the bal anee of the season So7, 900 and one week g e6ie,ooo, practically the bureaus crop estimate. Without allowing anything for the season to be received at the ports. interior towns or shipped overland 1t will be at a glance that statistics prove that small crop estimates of 10000, 900 and under must be abandoned as absurd. In the meanwhile set timent continues very bullish on a small crop and it is not borne out by facts Of course long figures ignored and assertions and theories prevail values may be sustained. but eventually the legitimate factors of sup ply and demand will govern.

R. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS Feb 2s. s.-Tle official rec ord showed decline of l32d in spots and an improvement of # -64d in deliveries at Liver- pool The steadiness of deliveries was at tributed by private cables to the prompt &C., ceptance by one large house of tenders amount ing to about 22.ooo bales On this side the tone grew steadier and the felng improved considerably. The news that voluntary ad- vances were being made in wages of operatives in American mills was proof conclusive to many of increased requirements of cotton for consumption at home which. combined with additional reports of depleted country stocks. resulted in brisk speculative demand that gradually absorbed offerings and forced prices upward.
 Closing quotations are l2di3 points higher than yesterday.
 The weeks statistics were in accord with views of bears. but this feature is dsre- garded for the reason that hope increases with the passing of each day that the promised drop in receipts Is at hand. Aside from this. if reports are authentic, the country has recently been secured wherever desirable lots of spots were available. Whatever actual de veiopments may prove in the future, the fact remains that prevent events apparently con duce to the belief amongst the ma jority that higher prices for cotton are inevitable.

NEW YORK. Feb 2e-The cotton market opened steady. prices iM4 points higher. and for the rest of the session exhibited a pro- nounced disposition to work still higher oii real merits. The room for time around the opening was against the initial rise. though not openly antagonistic. The opening figures proved to be lowest of the session for sub stantial new buying chiefly from Wall Street, and persistent support from room bulls. held the market stubbornly steady throughout the critical first hour, after which legitimate in- nuences easily gave the market a sound foot ing. Reports that exporters and domestic spin ners were once more urgently bidding for spot cotton in the South, where prices were up i-i6ahc on slim offerings, did much to stim- uiate the bull support. Rumors of nearby further advance in print cloths and predic- tiops for a very light March fin sight move ment prominent influences early in the afternoon. Light estimates for tomorrow New Orleans and Houston receipts gave the shorts a scare. and near the close they scram- bled to cover. with vigorous investment sup port. rushed prices to the top notch of the session.
