Other deliveries were also strong, July at one time being up cents compared with yesterdays finals Sharp advances in foreign markets, due to pos- sble war complications, were potent iac- tors locally.

Caldwell 6 ward's Stock Letter.

By Miller. ,,
 New York, February 19.-Intense dull ness again prevailed with dealings wholly in the hands of professionals. There was an utter indisposition on the part of operators to trade outside of the mar rowest limits, and while prices generally sagged throughout the fluctuations with out significance. There were no new in- fiuences to affect speculation unless the renewed strength in wheat reflected in- creased possibilities of larger European complications and was therefore inter preted unfavorably to the securities sit uation. The reports from the other side were that moreorless sentational indi- cation critical relations between the Rus sian government and England and the foreign bourse were depressed with small failure in Berlin and Paris. These advices were naturally discouraging and intended to limit the buying power. While at the same time hte tendency of the double holiday had an adverse in- fiuence. Sales. 240 900. Market closed weak Bonds were heavy and lower.

were strong, based not only on political complications but also on uncertain condi- tions of European crops and receipts were light. Our Argentine agent cabled that railway strike was theatening, which may interfere with the crop movement. Wheat sold at the highest price in six years, and, barring natural reactions attending on a market that is heavily long, wheat should sell higher May option is prac- tically in control of Armour, who can do as he pleases with it.
 Corn-Sympathized with wheat but the prospects of the crop are excellent as the result of general refreshing rains, and as corn is grading better, we do not look for any material advance, barring the trouble in the Balkans
 Oats-Not many oats on the market Better demand from feeders and shippers. With spring weather the eastern demand will turn from corn to oats, more es- pecially this year, as they are afraid of corn.
 Provisions were strong all day long and closed practically at the top. Packers were heavy buyers of stuff that they had sold against manufacturers some time since. We particularly favor July lard, which Is cheaper than any other provision at present, although we look for higher prices for all provisions.

Caldwell & Wards Cotton Letter.

By Miller & Go.
 New York February 19--As the day ad- yanced both New York and New Orleans cotton markets took on renewed strength. For some time past it had been noticeable that New Orleans was heavy seller in this market. Today has been a reverse, and there was good buying orders from there, the local butls bought heavily of May and July. and there was free talk of spots covering themselves. The situ- ation all together has been more en- couraging than for some time past. The estimates for tomorrow at the principal points are only about half of last year. and reports from principal points in the south say that receipts will show q de- cided decline from now on, and the gen. eral inside movement is expected to show a falling off of about 50,000 bales a week. Spot cotton shows an advance of about Ac in the south while in New York they are 75 points higher-1450 for middling at these prices, and considering timidity of trading public large blocks cannot be dealt in without materially effecting the market; therefore wide fluctuations may be expected, We believe the market purchase. On New Yorls's closing tonight Liverpool is due to come Saturday 13 to 15 points up.
