.FEVERISH TRADING
 IN SOME STOCKS
More Rumors of Mergers Are

SOUTHERN GROUP ACTIVE
The Bank Statement Outlook Probably Had Some Depressing Effect on the General Market-caIl
 Money Holds Firm.

New York. February 2-Feverish activ- ity and violent movements in few stocks today tended rather to obscure the di- unfinished speculative interest in the mar ket as whole Such falling off of i'm terest with a wavering of prices usually follows a period of speculative readjust- ment like that which has occurred this week. The forced liquidation in the early part of the week offered attractive oppor- tunities to an eager bear party which brought out stocks on the decline with great freedom.
 The necessary buying operated to cover was strong factor in the rally, and the uncertain tone of todays market was q fair indication that these operations had been pretty well completed Such specula- tive interest as there was today concerned itself almost entirely with merger projects in all stages, and the rumors attempted to define detailed statements of alleged terms Some sort of combination amongst the recently eontending copper interests is commonly accepted as an accomplished fact Enormous individual transactions in Amalgama ted copper, both on the buying and on the selling sides, had rather for mdable effect on sentiment, and seemed to be an influence on the heavy tone of the rest of the market There was a wealth of detail of assertion regarding the terms of the supposed disposition of the iron ore lands owned by the Great North ern Railroad company.
 The supposition persists that deal with the United States Steel corporation for

Loveman 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

Liverpool showed decided strength In the early morning Private as we'll as public cables were generally quite con fident in tone. It is true that sales were 12,OoO against 15,0oO yesterday, but it is hardly to be expected that spinners will be as greedy for cotton at an advance as they were when it Fas cheap. The feature of the day of course was the census report of cotton estimated as still to be ginned after January 16. The fig- ures given out, 250, ss4 bales, added to the 0,99s, GOO ginned to January l6, point 10 a total growth of only ten and a quarter million bales, but the whole Issue was clouded by the uncertain tenor of the explanations furnished with the figures, and even at the close the trade is in doubt as to what they exactly represent. It is generally believed that out of the 2S,91S gins in the south, 129H reported no cotton left to be glnned, 164S gins failed to report and the remaining la,S34 gins showed POO 1884 bales. No matter how these figures may be altered by later discover ies, it is certainly set at rest all foolish talk that has been circulated of late that there still remained 75O,OOO to 100000 yet to be ginned.

REPORT
 WAS UNSETTLING Was Chief Feature of the SeS-
 sion Yesterday SALES WERE 6OO,OOO BALES If Figures Are Accurate the Report Points to Total Yield of to,- 25o,ooo Bales-The Close
 Was Steady.
SALES WERE 6OO,OOO BALES

New York, February 2.-The cotton mar ket was very active and unsettled on the report of the census bureau estimating the amount of the cotton unginned on January 16 at 250.ss4 bales, the chief fea- ture of the session. Fluctuations were very irregular and at times the market was weak but closing prices were to 10 points net higher. Sales were estimated at 6O0OO0 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to 1s points in response to higher cables than expected and a continuation Of covering movement which set in around 1O.n for March yesterday, vhen the re- port was received from Washington that the census bureau would issue an estl- mate of cotton unginned. The early ad- vance this morning carried March to 10.9S, but the market almost immediately turned easier under a renewal of liquida- ton and bear pressure The break caught some stop loss orders and before it was checked March sold at lv.sO or points net lower and rumors were circulated on the decline that the census figures would not be as bullsh as had be- expeeted yesterday. When the report was publish ed however. 1t proved ever more bullish than had been originally looked for and the market quickly advanced to Ii. o4 for March, or about 2 to 24 points above the low point of the morning. But local oper- ators advanced all sorts of arguments to. discredit the accuracy of the report long cotton came out on the advance, and fluctuations during the late trading were irregular. The close was steady.
 If the census report may bo considered accurate it points to total yield of about 1O25O,0O0 bales. but Secretary Nortn in an interview recently published, was quoted to the effect that the figures were approx innate and local bears base their argu- ments against the report on the idea that the ginners have not made full returns,

Abercronb.. & Co.'S Market Letter.

The reaction which set in yesterday at 1o7S for March was still in process of expanding today, March having advanced 40 points from yesterdays low level by selling at HIS. from which level mar ket gradually receded for want of de- serving support
 The feature of the day was the publish Ing of the census report on the percent age of cotton remaining to be ginned on January 1G, and although the bulletin stated that the average amount to be ginned was 250, s46 bales, or about 2l5 per cent, which indicated crop of about 10430,0 600 bales. linters included and a commercial crop of about 1OG5OO00 bales, 2Si,000 old cotton having been carried over from last season, and 75.0OQ bales of this seasons growth having been marketed prior to September 1 and counted in last years crop, there was no enthusiasm at- tending the reading Of the governments report, which, however, was construed as somewhat bullish since the amount re- maining to be ginned was little less than generally expected
