STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. S.-The stock market
today had to face the two fold effect
OF the great fire in Baltimore and the
breaking off of diplomatic relations oe-
tween Russia and Japan, either one OF
which was sufficient to have justified
severe break in prices. The market faced
this double threat with great appareE,
comrosure at the opening, the first decline
failing to carry the level OF prices down
to the parity of the London level be-
fore our trading began. Support was
evidently put into the market and prices
rallied and a quiet tone that seemed one
OF confidence was brought about 1t is
doubtful whether this was effective III
convincing anybody that the slight spill
lEg out of stocks at the opening meas
ured the whole effect upon the market OF
the Baltimore disaster. When it IS borne
III mind that the Chicago fire, and the
Boston fire were the occasion CT STOCK
Exchange panics, the action OF me pres
ent stock market must be regarded as
good The liquidation which was an in
evitabe consequence of wiping out OF
property value approaching the cost OF
our war with Spain caused declines cur
iEis the day in the principal active stocks
offering to over 3 points. The rally OF
be last hour demonstrated that short
selling to considerable extent went
hand in hand with the liquidation ard
was not backed with sufficient confidence
to Leave contracts open over night. The
sharp relapse in prices failed however,
to attract any effective demand for
stocks, leaving the outlook still uncertain.
The Baltimore and Ohio was naturally q
special sufferer owing to locals causes
ennsyivania was heavily sold all day with
EXPRESSIONS of dissatisfaction over It's
heavy borrowing Union Pacific was a
conspicuous sufferer. Some OF the day s
selling both of stocks aud bonds was at
triAited to the account of the insurance
companies, in preparation for the heavy
claims to be met All other considerations
disappeared before the two great factors
OF the fire and the war.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Feb s.-While the serious
depressing influence, the relative firmness
at Liverpool caused a somewhat firmer
opening in the cotton market today and
first prices We're HOPS points higher on
the active months. Following tins there
was a further advance carrying May up
to 1875 and July to 14.E0, a net gain of
1904 points, but toward the end of the
first half hour there was a tremendous
selling from outside sources and the mar
ket in less than ten minutes had broken
nearly a full cent from the best point of
the morning. Around II clock the most
sensational changes of this season oc-
Cured May, which sold down to 1850,
jumped to 1880 and broke to 1914, while
July, which had been depressed to 1880
rallied to 1882 and then broke to 1919,
all inside of twenty minutes.
Around the midday the market rallied
March had declined to 1241, May 1902,
and July to 1903, this being net loss
from the best prices of the morning of
from 119 to 1873 points At this level there
was considerable covering and by 1
o'clock the market had recovered to
about last Saturdays closing prices. 1t
was reported that the advance had been
partially due to anxiety to make the l
o'clock or margin prices as favorable as
possible.
Later there was another moderate down
turn under liquidation by buyers on the
early break, but in the late trading there
was aggressive bull buying and the mar
ket was finally steady at a net decline of
1895 points. The days sales were esti-
mated at 900 bales.

What shall l send you for a valentine?
Perhaps there's nothing that would
please me better
Than to iuclose this loving heart OF NINE
Within the snowy pages OF my let-
ter
That would be very innocent and art
less,
But, then 1 know that you would deem
me heartless!
But take it, dear, such as it is-a true
And trusting heart-you did not seek
to win it,
Uncorsciously the poor thing went to
you,
Dreaming, and dazzled in one golden
minute.
Let it be thrall to you-sweet service
this is
Its only recompense your smiles and
kisses!
