LOCAL MARKETS.
Local Cotton Market.

Corrected Daily by W. D. Nesbitt G co.
 Spot cotton was scratched h cent yes terday and at the close of business good middling was quoted at 1872 cents. There was nothing doing locally and very little cotton was on sale.
 No change in the list of stocks and bonds was noted yesterday. The market continues very quiet.
 Staple groceries are steady with the exception of dry salt meats and lard. Ribs are quoted at s7sc, rib bellies. Shc, extra clears. SIS. leaf lard 9hc, snowdrift, &c.,
 Nothing unusual was taking place along Morris avenue yesterday few straw berries are on sale at fancy prices, but are in very poor condition and are pot greatly in demand. Oranges are plenti- full but the large stocks of apples have been sold and bananas are about the same
 Eggs continue active with nothing do- ing In poultry. Produce lines and early vegetables are beginning to wake up, but as yet spring vegetables are not abun- dant enough to be'a feature of the mar ket.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

Chicago, December 24-Declines in Am- erican markets occasioned an opening loss in Liverpool, but conditions on that side quickly counteracted this influences and during the early session prices advanced three-fourths to seven-eighths. Continent continues to bid freely for cargoes and strength of spot wheat was the feature. Liquidation of yesterday was apparently qiut thorough and left the market in beau tiful shape We believe July wheat will sell as high as May wheat
 Corn.-The movement Is Nebraska has fallen completely off the last few days and at present we have not half as much corn in transit as we had week ago. Armour was a heavy buyer all day and it Is believed he will soon have that mar ket in as complete control as wheat Oats.-Market moved along with corn, and it would take but little buying to put that market up.
 visions.-Receipts of hogs little over estimates. making market slow for stock but outside buying interests and con- tinued outlook for foreign complications were responsible for packers buying back at loss what they sold yesterday. With provisions as with wheat. everything that will be wanted on the other side will un- doubtedly sell at higher prices. Natural reactions. of course. will occur from time to time. but we believe in buying on soft spots.

STOCK MARKET SHOWS RECOVERY. Motive for Early Advance is Not x Clear. TRADERS SEEM SUSPICIOUS Reports of Numerous Bank Failures on the Continent Weaken All Mar
 kets-strons Spots In
 Early Market.
TRADERS SEEM SUSPICIOUS

New York February 24-The action of the stock market became halting and ir- regular today on somewhat decreased volume of business. The moderate gains established during the early part of the day were subsequently, lost The motive of the early advance was not very clear, but 1t was attributed to a covering move ment amongst the shorts. The borrowing demand for stocks on the exchange this morning pointed to the existence of a short interest.
 This prompted some of the traders to take the long side in the hope of dis lodging the short interest. The signs of an terday, but in the suspicious mood of traders it was believed to be more ap- parent than real. The professionals were then convinced that the real liquidation going on was concealed by the borrowing of stocks for temporary delivery in order to hide the character of the selling.
 There was feeling this morning on the contrary that the selling movement had somewhat overrun itself. The recovery in prices of Americans in London helped this feeling. The buying movement was lack ing in vigor, and the resulting advance was very moderate. The weak tone of the later movement was clearly enough due to apprehensions over the financial situation at the great money centers on the continent
 The reports of numerous banking fail ures at Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Lyons and rumors that there would be further fall ures at other continental points, weak ened all the markets. There was nothing in the war news to account for this reac- ton, but 1t gave rise to natural misgiv- ings that the diplomatic situation might be strained so as to threaten eventuali- ties
 The sudden rebound on Monday, while our market was closed, rom the panicky slump of Saturday, was attributed to more or less artificial measures. and the evidence since that necessary liquidation was proceeding under minor confidence anew Fears of coming great strike In the soft coal field are abated. The pass age of the Panama treaty by the senate leads to an explanation of an early call for repayment of 20 per cent on govern- ment deposits from national banks.
 Discussion is beginning of the date for the spring movement of currency to the interior which points to discount of New York exchange at Chicago. The for eign exchange market advanced strongly in response to the passage of the Panama canal treaty, and also presumably on ac- count of the financial difficulties in Flu rope.
 The relative frmness of Amalgamated t-kl. tod to the dismissal of temporary injunction against payment of dividends on stock of subsidiary companies owned. Net losses were genral at the close, but in only a few leading stocks did they approach a point.
 There were some strong spots in the early bond market, but prices generally gave way in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value $1,405,0oc.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

The market for coffee futures op- ened steady at decline of to 10 points under scattered liquidation and continued offerings by importers, based on disap- pointing European cables and rather larger interior receipts. Later the fear of notices for March delivery caused fur ther depression apparently. and consid- erable amount of business reported con sisted of switching from the March to later positions.

Caldwell ( Ward. Stock Lettef.

New York, February 24.-This morning was somewhat reassuring by the com parative steadiness in London, and the less disturbing advices from the conti- nent, both financial and political. Deal ings were moderate and there appeared no disposition on the part of bears to fol- low up aggressively the selling movement of yesterday afternoon. Even the later announcements of additional failures on the continent failed to disturb the mar ket more than temporarily. In the late afternoon, after the foreign bourses
