WALL STREET REVIEW
MARKET RELEASES INTO CON- OPTION OF APATHY.
Effort to Attract Outside Attention Again a Failure-Few Stocks Cover Range Equal to a
 Full Point.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The stock market re- lapser Into condition of apathy today and without any show of interest. Even the specu- lative combinations which made the activity of Monday and took the opportunity yesterday to realize suspended their operations. This obvious fact was accepted as an acknowledge ment that the efforts to attract outside inter est in the market was again a failure. Wall Street continues to trouble itself with efforts to explain this determined indifference on the part of the outside public. One reason evil the market which came through the money stringency of last Fall with difficulty and distress leaving desire on the part of the holders to tighten their load before the Au- tumn constriction of the money market shall set in again. The general public seems to have 6 deep-rooted suspicion that the allurements of the market are contrived to facilitate this process at their expense There was no urgent pressure to sell today in spite of the recent con- siderable advance. But this served to confirm if anything. the distrust that the appearance of the activity and strength recently has been due largely to manipulation and the passing through the open market from one hand to the other of large volume of stock on the part of the powerful spectators for the purpose of critically affecting prices As As . result h,sS Of tS covered a range equal to full point and the general level of the market was alternately above and below that of last night. The gen. erai market showed itself quite indifferent to these movements. The late advance in the Fries might be supposed to have a more sub stantial influence the general sentiment. But this also was quite ignored. There were authoritative intimations that an important announcement was forthcoming regarding the Erie finances. but details were learned be- lore the close. This very lack of specific in formation would have melted to activity in the market at e time when any spark of spec ulative enthusiasm existed. There was noth- ing in the news of the day to account for the duilness Sterling exchange continued to ad- vance here but this was neutralized by a further rise in Paris Discounts hardened in London. but the reduction in the official dis count rate by the Imperial Bank Of Germany was regarded as evidence of a source of relief for foreign money needs There was no change in the local money situation Call loans ad- var ced to 8 per cent. late in the day. This was attributed to the demand to carry over the holiday The market closed moderately active and rather easy.

 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. ll.-Liverpoof advices were disappointing, consequently our market opened 7@I0 points lower and shortly after declined IQ2 points additional on the large port and interior receipts, and the heavy semi weekly interior movement Later in the ses- sion fresh buying occasioned an advance of 10 points from the bottom, but realizing the restricted demand for spots again caused a break of | 1 points from the top, making the net loss I2Ql4 points on the day. Port re- ceipts for the five days aggregate l2 900. against l I2, 900 last year. The semi-weeSly receipts at the l. 3 leading interior towns were 56. o0o against A 900 last year, and the ship ments were e7. 900, against 53 900 last year This statement was bearish. showing a gain of 4.ooo in the receipts over last year. And only lost g. 900 in stock, which was practically the same last year. It also indicates that receipts will continue liberal owing to the eX fin the amount of cotton in transit.

 NEW YORK. Feb. tl.-At one time 1t looked as though the bottom would drop out of the market with May rushing down through $50 But the support appeared and May was rushed to o.36, while July ranged from 9. to @. 16. The holiday tomorrow made things rather dull and no one wanted to go short The action of Liverpool was disappointing in the extreme, that market closing some 4 points down on the day when 1t should have been " 5 points at least. On the basis of LiverT prices should have been selling at g. 20 o. 9l5 for May. not e.3o. But the bull clique continued their operations here and in New Orleans and this was enough to hold the price Many who sold May around eh were buying 1t back. This made a good deal. but we are not disposed to fancy it. The market may be showed higher. We are disposed to believe the bull crowd will overstay the rserket par ticularly if receipts continued larger than for last year for the rest of the month. The movement Is fairly liberal; in fact this week the largest on record at this of the year. A few weeks of this should stem the advance. May cotton could be rushed to 9h cents very easily, but we would rather wait and see what going on at this level before buying. The market could easily have sharr break. We would not buy without that break This is the moment to watch developments as the price Is high at eh and the bull clique is pretty long of cotton,

 NEW YORK. Feb. l.-The market for cot ton this morning suffered loss of 2ll4 points at the opening This nothing more than expected after the rise of several days. we opened 1t was below her closing figures of yesterday. The support here more wide4 spread than looked for. It expected that profit taking would set in on scale large enough to cause a severe drop. This. however, proved a delusion. Buying orders appeared from too many quarters and in such numbers as to surprise bulls themselves. The fact is the statistical situation is very strong, so strong as to advance prices very promptly. It is the same old song that has been heard for weeks no matter what may be the size of the crop is cannot possibly prove more than is needed. There more rain in the South today and quite heavy in Alabama Texas Mississippi and Tennessee. After short rally prices went off 5Q9 points and speculation failed to expand. Port receipts were estimated at 28 OoO against 23. 900 last year. Foreign CTS sold here. Cables were irregular at 203 Doints decline.

GHOSTS HAUNT THIS MINE
Tbey Scare the Workers and Give
 Some Mysterious Signals.
Denver Times.s

Denver Times.s
 Weird stories of ghostlike figures seen at the entrance of the mine shafts and tales of groans and moaning sounds be- ing heard from the bottom of the shafts are related by mining men who have just returned from the property of the Big Kanawha Mining Company at Creede. These tales, which rival those of "Bab- bette" of whom Frank Daniels sang, are said to have become so impressed upon many of the men employed in the Big kanawha Company's mines that they have quit work and sought places in other mines, where the unnatural sights and sounds are unknown.
 The first man to relate a ghostlike tale of his experiences while working at the mine was Mel McQueg, an engineer It was about five months ago that, while standing at the end Of the tram, he saw @ man not more than twenty feet away. Thinking it vas one of the miners em- ployed at the place, he spoke to him. He received no reply and again he ad- dressed him. Again he received no reply and this time McQueg determined to find out who the man was. He approached to where the figure had been and as he neared the spot the man disappeared. No trace of the man could be found. Mc- Queg swears that he saw the man, but the moment that he approached to where the figure had been 1t vanished as if by magic Not even the slightest trace of a man could be found and none of the men working around the mine at the time saw anything of a stranger, nor were there any of them near the place where McQueg had seen the figure at about the time that the engineer saw the vision.
 Shortly after this three distinct signals Go hoist the men given from the station were heard in the bottom of a shaft where Henry s. Jones and some other were working. At the time the signals were given no one was nearer the place than fifteen feet and the search made to dis cover the person who gave the signals has been unavailing.
 Three days after this strange occurr- ence. on June 26, 19o2 Henry Jones was killed by falling out of the bottom of the skip a distance of several hundred feet down the same shaft from which the mysterious signals to hoist the men had been given.
 These occurrences made a great im- presgson upon many of the men, and par tt,ularly the more superstitious of them.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. II.-Spot cotton was very quiet today. The condition of the market has undergone a decided change and though factors were no less urgent in their demands for top prices, buyers measurably indlf- ferent. Sales, 3. 500 bales, including 400 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 In the market for contracts the bears today had an inning. This market rehecting the decline in Liverpool opened down 7Glo points, advanced 8G9 points. declined 74lo points, advanced 4a6 points and then fiuctuated back and forth few points either way until the close when the record showed net losses ot l10l4 points from yesterdays level. Interest while still centered in March, May and July. Is gradually extending to all other months in the current commercial year.
