nearly the entire state today. Consid-
cradle damage TO railway property and

We mention these facts, as it is well not
to let enthusiasm take possession of the
market when 1t is to the interest Of
trade and the whole south to pursue an
extremely conservative policy, pending
the grave complications which NAV pos
sibly take place from the war in the east
and European political disturbances. AS
an evidence of this English consols de-
clned 5-16 and French rentes closed 165
points lower than Yesterdays prices, ana

prevalent in European financial centers.

tiers Withdrawing suddenly from London
To-Day, with view of going to St Peters,
burg. The inference is that the situation
must have taken a very bad turn to oc :
casion such action. While cotton on ,ts
own merits Is considered healthy and the
movement is light, 1t must be remembered
that the strong statistical position expect-
ed to come off later in the season NAV
be realized, and yet in the interim val
ues may seek lower level from want
OF confidence superinduced by interna-
tional complications. Under existing cir
cumstances we continue to advise cau-
ton, and advocate having as little In
terest as possible either way.

CLOSE WAS ABOUT STEADY

New York; February 2o.-The character
Of the stock market showed no change to-
day from that of the whole week. The
effects of the day pressing factors were
very moderate and were well resisted
But once the depression was overcome.
all interest in the market abruptly ter
minated. There seemed to be a waiting
demand for stocks on an ydeellnes, but
no buyers were at hand to folowsany ad-
vance. The principal pressure upon the
market came from foreign sources This
was vel absorbed and prices were at no
time down to the London parity
The sentimental effect of the decided
upset in the Paris and Berlin bourses
was very slight. The severe declines on
the Paris bourses are attributed to fnan-
cial needs, caused by the shrinkage in
Russian securities which are poor sale
at the present time The special weak
ness of state funds in Paris might, how
ever, be due to intimate knowledge of
diplomatic affairs not available to other
centers, which would explain its greater
sympathetic effect on other foreign mar
kets.
The favorable bank statement was a
help to the resistance to depression. How
ever. the $7,544.000 Increase in. cash was
not unexpected and is attributed to re-
turn of money from the south, where the
collapse in cotton speculation has de-
creased the immediate need. The loan
decrease is evidence that corporation Dor
rowings have been largely supplied out of
the previous loan expansion.
The market closed about steady and not
far from last nights level.
The falling off in the demand for money
in the country at large is not an alto
gether .reassuring development in its
bearing upon the rate of activity of bust
ness in general The far eastern war and
the threat of complications in the far east
overhang the market. but are regarded as
of Importance to this market principally
through the possible effects upon money
markets and the reflex effect here. The
adjustment of Baltimore fire losses has
also come up for renewed consideration.
Bonds have been dun and heavy in

New York. February 2O-The market
ruled very irregular this morning, due to
war news and the failure of Liverpool to
advance In response to rise here 1t was
an uncertain market from the start and
not one to trade very heavy in. Over ID
cents the situation does not look as sound
and heashy as it did at lower prices.
From the action of the market. a good
deal of arbitrating bushes was done. on
the big break New York and Iiverpool
came together In one instance Liverpool
was actually lower than New York. Then
on the tadyance. Liverpool gained so that
there was difference of over 2. cent
OF course this meant big money for those
who had straddled. Now these straddles
are being undone and at one time this
morning there was only is points differ
ence between Liverpool and New York.
Under these conditions, the situation il
too complicated to justify general trad
ing. There Is a big war on in the east
and the prospect Of trouble in Europe
and a lot of things to be considered IN
der the circumstances we would rather
not buy cotton above IA cents, though our
ideas on the value of cotton on breaks
do not change We would take profits on
long cotton and not buy at present prices
though the market may easily have an
other whirl.

Caldwell & Wards Grain Letter.

BY Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
Chicago February 2O-Wheat, corn, oats
and provisions have had banner day
today, all making new high prices specu-
lation in the cereal markets are rapidly
increasing, and the bids are no longer
dominated by a single bull force. With
the activity resulting from the scarcity
of good wheat and the extraordinary de-
mand in the supplies Of the country in
the event of European complications
growing out of the eastern situation, the
situation in wheat is presenting an at
tractive field. The general bulliness OF
the public and the consequent broaden
ing in the trade are having tremendous
effect. European markets are experience
ing great activity, being influenced by the
uneasiness over the war situation. The
urgent milling demand keeps up, and
good wheat seems to get scarce with the
advance. The cash article has crossed the
dollar mark, and 81 is is bid for No. 2
red at Detroit, without bringing any Of
fers. The bull position in corn In based on
the poor quality of the crop and the belief
that there will be good scarcity of mer-
camille corn Oats are going along with
other grain with five months of good ac-
tive season ahead of them, and they VIII
also no doubt share in the general boom.

birmingham. February 2O.-The crucial
feature in cotton today Is the state OF
trade in the manufactured goods depart
ment and while no especial weakness Is
TO be noted in that section the political
situation is at present detrimental to-
wards expansion. in fact, grave anxiety
is felt throughout Europe as to the prob
able outcome of the Balkan problem In
ternational securities display downward
tendency and while this condition re-
mains there is no incentive for spinners
to actively enter the market. On the
other hand the question of supply is a
delicate one, and prices therefore are sub
ject to manipulation. In fact 1t Is decid-
eddy scalping market and one that Is
dangerous to overstay. Considerable
liquidation was INDUCED in throughout
the session by traders preferring to be
without commitments over the holiday.
All exchanges will be closed Monday.
French markets close today 165 points
down for the day. Grain and provisions
continue to advance, May wheat selling
at 107. We see no season why prices
shouldn't go higher and we believe in
taking profits now and buying back on
reaction.
Stocks continue dull. and notwithstand-
ing first-class bank statement the mar
ket closes lower.

New York. February 2O.-In view Of
the highly unfavorable advices regarding
conditions of foreign markets and the
round amount of stocks sold by London,
resistive power Prices suffered only
fractional declines as rule, except Rock
Island preferred, which lost over point
on announcement of the assumption by the
Chicago and Pacific of large amounts OF
notes issued in connection with the roads
in the southwest The bank statement
was exceedingly favorable and the publi-
cation of It served to impart tone to the
speculation which hardened slightly in
late dealings which many issued regain
ing early losses. The late cables indicat-
ed a state of panic in Paris and acute
depression in London curb while the po-
litical advices were exceedingly pessimis-
