Raxter e co.,s Cotton Letter.

New York February 16.-The early cot ton market today showed a fair recovery from yesterdays break. Cables were quite satisfactory considering the deter mined efforts to force prices down in the local markets Saturday when the air was filled with all varieties of bear talk and bulls were quite nervous. How eyer Liverpool rid herself of the nervous feeling here and when opened her quotations were but a shade below Sat- urdays This was in measure owing to continued wet weather in the south
 and especially in the Memphis, Little Rock and Ft. Smith districts, where heavy rain fell Sunday and today. and further more the temperature was 15 to 20 below freezing point, which cannot but keep receipts down to a low level. Shorts were covering and sellers were for time being rather scarce. The advance has exceeded all expectations, still there is a decided feeling of confidence in still higher market. although good break would enable many belated buyers to en- ter the market Port receipts were 24000 against 26.000 last year. The market was dull all the carly session and changes narrowed Liverpool cf,Sea points net

LOCAL MARKETS.

In the local cotton market yesterday prices varied slightly from those of last Saturday for all grades except low mid ding. This remains at SAc. Good mid ding was quoted yesterday at 9ssc, strict middling at 9lAc, middling at 99sc, strict low middIing at 9isc. The inclement weather of yesterday prevented the farmers from bringing their cotton to town, and consequently there were no wagon receipts.
 There were several changes in the local stocks and bonds yesterday. Alabama Steel and Ship Building bonds were quot ed at 9S bid and 100 asked against 96 bid and 100 asked on Saturday. Bessemer Land and Improvement company bonds rose from 36 bid and 40 asked to 38 bid and fl asked Birmingham Reality com pany, common, bonds are selling at 50 bid and 70 asked. Trading yesterday was very light and the market was rather quiet
 Lemons are now selling from 1.75@ 300 per box of $50. There is a plentiful supply of all varieties of fruits on the market and shipments of especially fine bananas have recently come in. The present cold weather will augment the sales of apples, bananas and oranges among retail dealers.
 Cocoanuts dropped 25c yesterday. They are now selling at from $2. 50a275 per hundred. Sweet potatoes declined 10c and are bringing 700S0c per bushel. Oth- erwise the local fruit and produce mar ket is unchanged. Trading is lively.
 In the local staple groceries market dry sated ribs rose half a cent yesterday and are selling at 101ac per pound Com pound Snow Drift lard is bringing s1sc timothy hay fell off $l yesterday. and is bringing S22 per ton instead of s23. White oats are selling for 52c.
 The demand for feed stuff Is very heavy at present. A local dealer remarked yos- terday that every out of town order con- tained a demand for corn and hay This is a result of the failure of crops last year. The farmers nave to depend on the dealers for stock feed this year. and it reveals the queer predicament into which the southern agliculturists sometimes fall.
 Beginning today the Age-Herald will give daily quotations on wool and hides.

NOTABLE SHIFTING
 IN STOCK PRICES Speculative Interest Was Trans ferred to the SpeciaIties CALL LOAN RATES EASY So Far as the News Was Responsible for the Days Movements, There Were Variety of Explanations,
 But None Confirmed.
CALL LOAN RATES EASY

New York. February 16.-There was notable shifting of speculative interest today from the railroad list into the spe- cialties. Most of the stocks embraced in the days movement were industrials, sbut there were a few railroad and other stocks included which do not figure in the usual activity of the market. The standard railroad stocks were quite firm, but this was evidently due to sympathy with the advances in the industrials. There was some special strength in Wa bash preferred which was due to buying by the interests which have recently sus- tained that stock. The railroad list as whole was conspicuous for the small volume of transactions in it and for the sluggishness of its movement. The in- dustrial stocks never show the same bond of sympathy in their movements, as is rule with railroad stocks. It Is not unusual for one of this class of stocks to move Independently upwards in a gen- eral declining market. The several in- dustrials which rose today did not move in concert, and In most cases separate explanations were offered for the strength of each. But 1t was evident their move ment in general was due to a speculative theory on the part of the professional op- orators that the futility of efforts to ad- vance railroad stocks had been demon- strated by last weeks events, and that the industrials offered the only hopeful field for higher prices, as the result of continued favorable business advices from all quarters
 So far as the news was responsible for the days movement, that in sugar was due to the advance in the price of the granulated product; in Amalgamated to the continued rise of copper in London; in United States Steel, to reports of heavy orders on hand; in Leather preferred, to revived rumors of a plan for funding the accumulated dividends, and so on for other stocks. For general influences there was no notable change in the situation. Call loan rates continued easy but time loans were quoted a fraction higher and there is disinclination on the part of leaders to put out funds on time at pres ent rates. 1t is expected that heavy cor porate requirements, including railroad bond and stock issues will make early acquisitions upon the money supply. The advance in sterling was checked here. but the rate declined in Paris and the private discount rate there rose to per cent which was perhaps the most significent development in the money situation It could not be learned. however, that any definite step had been taken toward the export of gold this week. Opinions were somewhat mixed over the bad weather in the west, causing a decline which devel- oped in the wheat market. but it was af- forwards claimed that the condition of snow afforded security for its safety. The market closed dull and steady.
 Bonds maintained a steady tone. Total sales, par value, s6S5, ,O00 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

cothran oe Co.'s New Orleans Letter

By C. W. Lee X Co.,
 New York. February t6.-The market to- day was even more feverish than on Sat urdav. On bad weather and a fairly good Liverpool price, quotations opened higher with a further advance during the morning. May sold again at 9:5O with July at 9.36 One feature of the morning was the buying in March. which helped hold the price all along the line. New Orleans ruled very firm all day with more buying there than here. It was a strong market in many ways In fact as Is quite apt to be the case the price held better at e1sc than it did at sAe The very hest trade opinion is against the market. Men whose judgment is as good as anything are against the market. The fact that prices are mot allowed 10 react is "a bad sign We doubt whether there ever has been such plunging in the cot ton market, The concentrated long n- terest must be nothing short of enormous. Its high price cotton. too Of course, it will take a bad smash to shake out this interest, but you never can tell when the selling Is going to begin. Speculation did come in finally and rush the price to 9lac, just as might have been expected. This same buying may continue, of course, and carry the level to 9s4c, But that is not to be played for by those who want to make money This is not the place to buy cotton. Anything but that It may be dangerous to sell it, but around 9lac the world will have to adjust itself to new conditions and we are entitled to setback if nothing more. If the big holders started to liquidate May cotton there would be something like a panic. No one knows how much cotton Is back in the country. There never was so much rain. The rain that the cotton belt has not had in two years Is still falling Roads are practically impossible. No wonder the various markets are way up in the air. But even if prices are going higher later In the season. ar advance of Ac Is enough to halt the movement. This is a big price for cotton. We would not buy without a good break all around. A break of 10 points is nothing. We want to see general spilling out first.

The Coffee Market.

New York, February 16.--Spot Rio firm; mild quiet. Futures opened steady at a decline of 5 points under profit taking. After the call the demand was quiet and prices steadied as a result of higher Flu ropean cables, the recent small movement and predictions of a decreaeo in the worlds visible, which led to covering by shorts. But the interior receipts for to- day were full and after midday the mar ket turned weaker, closing steady at a decline of 5@10 points. Sares were 5s, GOO bags, including: March 4.60@465, April 4.70, May 470@4S0, June 4.90, September 5.05@5.10. October 5.15@5. 20, November December 540@5 45, January $40.
