tors early in the day was the weak
ness Of the New York Central, which
was also without news to account for
it. This movement was the result Of
a Characteristic traders campaign.
Yesterday selling Of Pennsylvania on
the score Of the conversion privilege
for the bonds carried the price Of
Pennsylvania stock below that Of New
York Central whereas 1t has ruled
constantly above that stock for a long
time past. For this reason traders sold
New York Central and bought Penn
sylvania to-day. The news of the i'll
ness of the King of England was an
influence in the early dullness, as was
also the renewed hitch I'm the pro-
ceedings for a settlement of the Ven
ezuelan difficulties. The December
statement of the Pennsylvania lines,
both east and west Of Pittsburg was
so clear a demonstration Of the pre-
vailing tendency of railroad expenses
TO encroach upon net earnings that the
effect was rather depressing. Sterling
exchange was quite omlnously strong
and IL WAS said that the freight
blockades and the cutting down Of the
grain movement had resulted In a
scarcity Of grain bills I'm the exchange
market. At the same time the pre-
vailing ease Of money Is an induce-
ment to borrowers from foreigners 20
pay or maturing obligations abroad.
The exchange market eased slightly
at the close. The growing plenty OF
lOanable funds was probably the basis

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 3.-The professional
element amongst the traders contested
the apathetic condition of the stock
market to-day and developed some
show of strength and activity before
the close of the day There was a very
meager outside following and very
little news on which to base the move
ment. The reactionary tendency dur
ing the morning became dominant and
the professionals apparently resigned
themselves to the neglected condition
OF the market.
The movement in the Wabash Sc
curities led the way out of the lethar-
gy of speculation. These stocks made
a slight advance at the opening on
the strength of the news from Pitts
burg that the franchise for the COM
pany's entrance to the city had been
favorably acted upon by the City
Council, but the stocks fell back again
and the debenture y bonds particu-
larly suffered from realizing.
The latter movement was Or
ganized and had no fresh news
to go on. One Of the depressing fac

vices were disappointing, therefore our
market in sympathy opened 2 to 4
lower and declined to 2 additional
later, on the large port and interior
receipts, coupled to the quieter feeling
prevalent in spots. Near the close
fresh buying and the absence Of SELL
ers occasioned an advance of from
the bottom, making the net loss 2
points on the day. The port receipts
for the four days aggregate 100000,
against $4,000 last year. The indica-
tons are for a continuance of free re-
ceipts for the balance of the week.
Sentiment is very favorable to the ar
ticle, notwithstanding the increased
movement, but outsiders still persist
emily refuse to come in around cents.
Spinners being supplied with large re-
serve stocks are not eager buyers for
the moment, and will probably restrict
their takings from now out The
market is in rut awaiting new de-
velopments before taking any decid-
ed turn. Should receipts continue to
increase, values will seek a lower level,
or enhance if there is any indication
of a relative decrease compared with
last year. ~

was lost sight of. and is now operating
as if something new. Bears are de-
ceiVing themselves on this account,
losing sight of the fact that there will
be a turn next week when last years
figures will show over 100000 increase
just as they show over 100, 900 decrease
this week. The discovery of lots of
unpicked cotton at many points serves
as ammunition for the bears. We are
not told the amount of this unpicked
cotton, but buyers are scared off by
it and it is safe to assume, as stated
before, that it will be disregarded as a
factor of any Importance unless it ma
terializes very shortly. Early cables
to-day were poor. Port receipts point
ed to 10000, against $4,000 last year.
The semi-weekly interior movement
was full. After opening off to 6
points the market rallied but was dull
and featureless. Gables We're 2 to
3 lower with the tone quiet but
steady. Manchester quiet.

The increase in the cotton movement
Is causing hesitation among the trade
which has brought operations almost

better weather and more favorable

The spot cotton market at Savannah
closed quiet, with the demand light,
and very little business being transact
ed. The hesitation prevailing in other
parts of the country was apparently
sympathized with here. A revival from
the dullness of the past few days is
looked for.
The turpentine market closed firm at
63Ac, with the demand good, and the
offerings wiped up. The stock is small,
and the receipts light. Resins closed
firm at the advance, and rose again on

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cotton Letter

New York Feb. 3.-our market open
ed with sales of March at S871@
S.72 and after selling at 1914 ruled at
$S.15 at p. m. In face of the decline
in Liverpool and the increase in the
movement this market shows re-
markable steadiness. There is no dis
position to sell short among the traders
as they feel the increase in the move
ment may be only a temporary increase
due to the improvement in the weather
conditions last week. The semi-week-
ly receipts are larger than expected.
Print cloths in Fall River were adj
vanced to-day to 81, the highest quo
tation in several years. There is a.
slight falling off in the demand from
Liverpool but rather more inquiry
from the continent. Our local traders
are united on the long side, looking for
higher prices before the season is over.

Kaplan

A short while since Archbishop Chap
Church from Cossinade to new site in
the town of Kaplan, where Mr. Kaplan
has donated two fine squares of ground.
AS the majority of the present congrega-
tion of Cossinade live north and in the
immediate vicinity they were bitterly OPP
posed to the move, especially az they had
chiefly built the church They sent q COM
mittee to interview Monsignor but he
was obdurate.
Wednesday of last week was began the
work of demolishing the church, prepara-
ratory to its removal; the pews were
taken away and the roof taken down
Last Friday morning before dawn the
building was discovered to be in flames
and the object Of the contention disap-
peared in smoke and ashes.
1t is believed that progressive Kaplan
will not let this prevent their securing
place of worship. No doubt the people
there will decide to arrange matters for
the erection of good new church, now
that they have splendid site for such
and the fire fiend has prevented the
carrying out of their original intention.
Anyway there is probability that some-
thing will be done in the very near fu-
ture and Developments will be watched
with great degree of interest IN this
city and throughout the parish.
