international Mercantile Agency
Notes.-The Prospect of Increased
Oriental Shipments from Minne-
apOlis.

New York. Feb. Especial kilograms
from correspondents of the international
agency thruout the Unlted
States and Canada show that extreme colo
weather Is responsible for the check to
Of merchandise by railways,
which the total volume of
the same Is greater at st. Louis and at
and st. Paul than a year ago.
Baltimore bankers and merchants are
at work endeavoring to minimize
the percentage of spring trade which
might be DETECTED to Philadelphia and
New York by the fire. Orders have al
ready been sent to New York for dry
goods and to Plttsburg for structural
steel.
War has ceased to influence the do
nestle stock market but it has advanced
the prices Of silk, tea, beef, pork, wheat,
any by sympathy, other cereals. The
money market has not thus far responded
much to the Forthcoming withdrawal OF
government funds to meet anticipated
Panama canal payments, nor to the extra
ordinarily heavy demands for accommo-
dation by railroads and other corporations.
Sales Of Americans by London and the
continent have left stocks dull and weak
er.
There is more request for structural
and other forms Of steel and orders fol
rails placed by the Hartman roads at ful
pool prices point to the likelihood Of SIS
a ton being maintained. -.
There is now a more favorable prospect
for the mills, due to the reaction In the
price of raw cotton since Feb. 1. The gov
eminent report Of cotton ginned to the
middle Of January dissipates the claim Of
a total crop of only 100000 bales.
Greatly needed rains have fallen II

southwestern region. ~.

Canadian railroads have been unable tt
handle all the traffic but this drawback Il
now being overcome. Several manufac'
turing plants had closed down owing tt
lack Of coal which railroads were unable
to deliver. Trade In clothing, footWea
and furs has been excellent.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON, Feb 1.-THE cot
ton market was dull to-day. The volume Of trade
was light and was furnished chiefly by scalpers.
lit was an ideal scalping market with wide and
rapid fluctuations, altho the tone was steady.
Several hurries Of selling occurred, evidently
caused by operations of New York traders, whose
own market closed. Only a small amount Of
end-of- the-week liquidation was seen, whereas
It was expected that to-day would see heavy
profit taking. Prices were at one time from Z to
