 STOCKS

MONTGOMERY, Feb. 26.-The stock market to-day was apathetic and feeble. There had been a rather general expectation that the short intereFt which has accumulated this week would be sufficient to permit a rally of some consequence If there were no especially unfavorable developments abroad The specu- lation as chilled somewhat by the large fire In Rochester. and announcement of fresh rate cutting by West and East. The successful completion of the London settlement failed to revive interest among foreign traders. The de- pressing influence on the other side which was reflected to some extent here was the uncertainty as to the outcome Cf the settle mentS Tow in progress at Paris and Berlin bourses. The dissolution of the injunction against the Arnaigamated Copper dividend stimulated rally over one per cent. in that stock and the market responded elsewhere in a dcsultory sorr of way but Copper reacted from Its gain and the market closed extreme lyy quiet but weak. In spite of favorable de cision., in Amalgapated. the selling above 47 vas good. Sales POP. 800 shares.
 COTTON.
 All the Cotton markets in the world have taken on renewed strength. Advices from New Orleans: and private cables from Liverpool In dicate a better feeling of confidence than has existed for some days. Trade in the Man chester market was reported encouraging and foreign advices say higher prices are ex- pected in raw cotton. Yesterday notice day in New Orleans, and to-day In New York brought a few March notices. all of which were eagerly sought after and spot cotton advanced 65 roints in New York. and 50 points in New Or leans. The weekly movement reported by the New York Cotton Exchange. shows a fall ing on of 54, 900 bales against sane week last year. The estimates for tomorrow con- t:nue small. The business in cotton is com raratively small; the trading public seem to be hol1ing Gn fcD some dcvelopm ent or else are dividing their attention to the grain and provision market which is very active New York's close tonight is strong around top prices, in keeping with which Liverpool is due to come I6 to I7 points up Saturday.

May corn was down %0 h. oats # and provisions a shade to 271hc IJn- der the influence of large Argentine shipments and lower English cables. extreme weakness pervaded wheat at the oIening The market appeared to be in an overbought condition and the bearish advices from foreign markets serv- ed as an excuse for general profit taking. Opening prices were very cratic Initial sales of May were at Sl .o59 .o7. decline of # to 2kc from yesterdays close. July was H to 2bc lower at 96a97h for a time, the selling was fast and furious. When July touched 95h there large buying orders The crowd took the fact as a hint that the frmness of wheat was perhaps mere flash in the pan but more or less lasting state of affairs that might possibly parallel the duration of the war. The demand seemed to be as urgent 1t had been any time during the present bull campaign. full recovery was made. May advancing to Sl .07. and July to 9Sk. The market turned weak again later. Open selling of both May and July by the leading long started prices the down grade Moderately bearish reports of the condition of winter wheat brought out some selling. The selling became general and prices rapidly de- clined, May Sl .o4as and July to e6. Covering was weak with May at Sl .o47s. and July at S6%: Prinmary receipts were 5Ie7oo. against 5Se; 100 year ago. Exports of wheat and -four for the week, according to Bradstreets were equal to g. 900 bushels Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported 246 cars against 2S4 last week, and BOA year ago.
 Lower cables caused weakness in corn at the start The break in wheat also helped to bring out considerable liquidation. The large bull houses were active buyers after the openine decline. The late break in wheat however caused additional selling during the last hour The close was easier. May opened hdIA to M@ & lower at 561s to 57. sold between 5S%G56I and 57A and closed at 56% July closed % lower at 55%. Receipts PAS cars.
 The oats market was Aympathetic one and laregly influenced by wheat and corn. There was an early demand for September, which caused considerable strength. The selling in May was general, although there was no evt- dence of any large sales by the leading long May opened $ to $ lower at 45h to 45sz ranged between 44S and 45N and closed at 45ss.

rrsy Private Wire From C. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-The most ifnpor- tant event of the week has been the appar- snt shifting of positions on the part of the largest interest in the market. Above IA cents, all the cotton bought at low figures cerae on the marist and prices were depressed rom about l6 cents to i9&- On the decline support was lacking. but the cotton was all taken by the general trade and considering the price level. the heavy selling and the war news. the market showed decided resist ance to pressure. This was due to the small movement of cotton. Receipts are practically nothing and this brought in spinners on the decline so that the market is stronger than any one expected. In view of the price and conditions two weeks ago the situation now ap- pears most encouraging to buyers. The shift ing of the bull leader to the other side of the market Is not hard to understand Above l4h cents the spot demand ceased. Now If we are to have higher. rrices later on 1t Is ad- visable to get as much spot cotton out of the way as possible. If prices can be kept around l4 cents for tins and the spinners permit ted to buy their supplies there will be very little cotton to weigh on the market later on. That Is the best interests of all concerned will be helped by a quiet market here at I4 cents
 In order to help the spinner get his cotton the may appear to bs some what irrational to as- sfkn this motive to the operation, but tho leader is said to have given just that ex- rlanation. It Is sound reasoning and repre- sents far sighted view of the cotton stua- ton, Let the spinner get ali the cotton he wants ard then go ahead with the future gust to l6 or @ cents. ? With no cotton in the country. Now as to the future of the market on such decline as we have had to below IA cents. there is every inducement offered to the buyer of cotton. Receipts are so small that the crop must b. light one. If this Prcves to be the case we can easily see higher Is worth l2 or l4 cents with 10. soc. 900 or lo 400 900. and should 1t turns sout less than that, 20 cents is not a dream of improba- blity. Therefore when the market goes below l4 cents we are bulls of the first water and advise buying by all means. There has been a good break, the market Is healthy and we are believers in better prices as the season advances. There is great deal of money still to be made in cotton this year.

ture. The English market which had been
 expected to show a decline registered an ad-
 vance, the rise being considered quite sen. sational. The buying wns heavy :or . timo
 and the market after starting with prices at ther gains. Howsvc:, the upward tendency was interrupted quite frequently ky realizing sales, the bulls of recent creation being dis holding Of and wading through a lot of ui- ccr.aintts. Recent buyers cf cattoh were the best sellers on the impr1val levels. though Philadelphia short interests were the active buyers of the July delivery. The spot mar kets were steady generally with a moderate demand and small offerings. The weekly f;g- ures were generally about as expected. since they were of character to justify bullish ex- pressions. The late market wns rather ir- regular. with the local interests largely in position to dictate the course of affairs. The estipated port receipts for the day were ii,- 900. against 2S, S,247 for the same day last year.

 NEW ORLE >TS. Feb. 26.-Whlle fuctua- tions iT New . rk still present the appear ance O. snanipuiation, and orders for com paratively small quantities are executed at several different prices. the influence of that market is less predominant. English cables denote Q decidedly friendly attitude towards cotton and prices display rising tendency. Undoubtedly there is 0 more healthy tone. The general impression here Is that the pres ent advance is due to the inherent strength of the commodity and traders are more in- clned to note legitimate features. The small movement Is causing some anxiety and an active inquiry for spots was to be noted throughout to-day. resulting in considerable business at advanced quotations. Bullish fea- lures attract the greater share of attention. which in connection with the fact that the weak long interest has been eliminated. places the contract market in a stronger position practically the only deterring feature at the moment being the possibilities of the political situation in Europe. It is surprising to note the manner in which the quantity of short sales recently indulged in were, absorbed.
