STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 10-Today's business
on the Stock Exchange was the smallest
in years. The slight increase in the
markets animation thus far this week
gave way to practical stagnation today.
There were long intervals of total idle
ness and some minutes between single
transactions The days sales of S6,000
shares on August %, 1900, was the low
record for many years past. Today
sales aggregated 70, 500 shares. Blizzard
day" in 1888 is cited as the nearest
parallel. Professional Wall Street enter-
tans very gloomy views Of the outlook,
and the prospects OF the closing of many
brokerage Offices with the coming May
first is discussed. United States Steel,
preferred made d gain OF sc, which
was only temporarily held. This was nc
of the most conspicuous movements IN
the market, and IS a commentary on ne
day trading. Sales Of the next dividend
on United States Steel, preferred, were
made IN the curb market at SLIGO PER
share for several hundred shares. The
decrease of over $11 ,0G00G0 in value OF
exports compared with the preceding Feb
ruary, Is pretty evenly divided between
cotton and breadstuffs. The market was
responsive to this unfavorable considera-
ton. The opposition of officials of the
miners union to the PROPOSAL for soft
coal strike was regarded as encouraging
from stock market standpoint. The
days changes III quoted values are not
worth specifying.
There was not such utter stagnation in

cotton sold above 1890. in the local
market today. That is the high point of
the present move and shows the trend
of the market. peculiar feature of
the advance is the comparatively quiet
way in which the price moves up. Today
for Instance, there was no Juror, Just a
simple, easy advance and d steady one.
In Liverpool spot cotton sold at 1715c., or
about that price and futures held their
own The local market opened lower be-
cause prices abroad were hardly strong
enough. But there was very little cotton
for sale and as the spot markets of the
South showed some improvement prices
have advanced. We have seldom seen a
steady, easy advance of this kind that
ended IN this way 1t nearly always ends
with a wild advance of several days We
cannot but feel that prices may be higher,
because the movement is so small and
consumers are likely to become alarmed.
Liverpool IS taking the cotton and before
long there is likely to be scramble I'M
less receipts are much larger While ad-
ylalng caution, we can see nothing in
the situation to bring one 10 short cot
ton, as there is every reason to believe
prices will be higher than ever before
new crop can be raised. From this rea-
son we would continue long of cotton.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, March 10.-Cotton opened
barely steady at a decline OF 6 to II poin;s
on the old, and OF 6 to points on the
new crop months. This was in line with
rather easier cables than expected, which
promoted considerable liquidation on the
call, but after some little irregularity the
small estimates for the days receipts and
reports of an improved spot demand,
checked selling and the market rallied,
ruling thereafter generally firm until IL.

above the hig1 point of Yesterday with
May selling at 1886 and July at 1852, net

4O0, 900 bales, Trading was rather active
right after the opening, but soon became
quiet with operations largely of pro
fessional character. The small estimate
for the days receipts and for leading
points tomorrow, which show that Gal
weston, New Orleans and Houston com
bined hardly expect as much cotton as the
first named point received last year, nat
urally had a tendency to restrict selling
even for long account and as tending to

Market Letter,

New YORK, March 10.-In todays stock
market new low record of transactions
was recorded 1t seems as though the
street has decided TO await the North
ern Securities decision before making anv
new commitments III the market. Price
changes from day to day are therefore,
insignificant. The bears have been com
pletely baffled in their attempt to take
advantage of the dullness. and to further
depress the list
The stubborn strength shown is caused
by the fact that the bulk of stocks is in
the strongest of hands and the available
supply OF floating stocks is so sparse that
traders are very shy of selling that which
they may have to bid up sharply to OBJ
tain in order 10 cover
