times in the history of the New York
Clearing House, and not at all outside
the period last spring, when syndicate
prepare tions were making for the great
deals which afterwards electrified the
financial world. For the week ending
Feb. 2 last year the loans of the New
York Clearing House banks were ex-
panded $50, 440, 900. which was the larg-
est single weeks expansion in their his1
tory. But the vast expansion of cred-
it's the country ever since that time,
and the small proportionate Increase in
cash reserve for the same period, makes
what was bull influence on stocks
last year a cause of hesitation and
doubt this year. What operations are
responsible for last weeks increase In
loans is not known to the public. The
bank statement counteracted the effect
of the early strength of Sugar on re-
vived hopes of reduction Of Cuban
sugar duties and, OF the continued spec
ulation in Amaigamated Copper.
The market closed dull and heavy at
mixed net changes.

ket, especially for Junior grades and

been below the best, with correspond

New York, Feb. 1.-Our market open
ed with sales of May at S.11 and after
selling at Sill, ruled at S.11 at IL
a. m. Foreign advices were slightly
lower, but the severe weather through
out the South is expected to sharply
curtail the movement from the large
proportions of the past month and this
brought about a slight Improvement
here. The trade look for a better
market on this expected falling off in
the receipts, which was foreshadowed
in the light receipts at the southwest
ern interior towns during the latter
part of the week. This expectation has
revived the bullish temper, which was
diminishing last week under the ex-
traordinary movement of January,
which came within $4,000 bales of be-
ing the. largest on record. A better
market is expected in Liverpool on
Monday and higher prices here. The
spot market was quiet and unchanged.

Of the futures market That there is
q 5erernined effort to hammer prices
ar first chance seems probable, and
hears are waiting for such show of
weakness as will warrant them in
uniting on the pressure. So far they
have been unable to do this owing
10 the fact the spot holder has the sit
nation in his hands, and from all APP
pearances expects to keep it there.
The explanation of the failure of
nrices to drop under the weight of
large receipts is that the world will re-
ouire a great. deal of cotton to keep
ali spindles going. A yield of 16,500,-
000 may not be regarded as excessive
by SINNERS in view of the demand for
the staple, and their buying all along
would seem to indicate such belief
among them. Spots at Savannah closed

Is the desire of the President to show
the Prince every honor BETTING him as
Prince of the royal blood and as the
personal representative and kinsman OF
the German Emperor. But at the same
time the programme is to be as simple as
possible.
Upon the arrival of Prince Henry in
New York he will be met by a squadron
under command Of Rear-Admiral Evans
and national saIutes OF twenty-one guns
will be fired, both by the warshios and
the barbor batteries. FisSs of courtesy

precedent, it will be the duty Of the
Prince TO call upon the President. who
