Publication of Bank Statement With
Unexpectedly Favorable Changes
Stimulates Bull Fever.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Today's market
was in a speculative turmoil almost
from start to finish. Enormous buying
by some of the strongest interests tes-
titled to inside knowledge Of important
the facts became public. Isolated ru-
mors and conjectures were sufficiently
numerous to enable the Street by COM
bining them to conceive theory that
involved q deal effeeting such changes
in the status of many securities as
would impart to them a value far above
prevailing quotations.
The industrial list was completely
overshadewed by the activity and buoy
ancy In the railroad list Prices started
higher and then sold off on heavy profit
taking. but the process OF absorption
was apparently unchecked, with the re-
suit that in the last half hour the mar
ket advanced irresistibly to the highest
OF the day. New York Central at its
maximum showed a gain OF ten points
from yesterday. Northwest rose I PEI
cent but lost half the gain. The new
feature OF the speculation was found In
Pennsylvania, which advanced over I
per cent. The publication of the bank
statement with its unexpectedly favor
able changes from a week ago stimulat-
ed the bull fever afresh.
The market closed active and buoy
ant AT about top prices.
Government bonds unchanged. Rail
road and other bonds were strong bui
suffered in activity by the diversion oi
interest to the stock department.

COTTON MARKET QUIET
I'M NARROW LIMITS

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Cotton market
was quieter today with narrow luctua-
tions and d comparatively much smaller
volume of business than for any day this
week. The trading element were apparent
ly undecided as towhat would be the next
move by the large market interests OF
the leading outside bear operator. and
were more inclined TO await further
developments than TO increase their Oh
legations either way TO any extent
Prices opened about TO points lower
and after recovering this, gradually
slumped 10 a level of about points
from last nights closing quotations for
the general list. and points for March
and closed quiet on about that basis.

CHICAGO. Feb 25.-Corn was again
the center of attraction for the local
spectators and the pit today oyerfiowed
with an active trading crowd. There was
an early rush TO buy, but the advance
that resulted was taken advantage of
freely to realize profits upon corn bought
before the recent rise.
At the close May corn was down Ac
and July A0as- Wheat felt the effect Of
larger receipts In the Northwest than
are compatible with scarcity and the
result was that the local talent jumped
upon the market as far as1fhey dared
