THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Feb. a.--operations in stocks fell to the point of steGnation today. There of As tn. day day csnfsrinx % '' in few s stocks ana coming from only . few brokerage houses 1. which have been active sellers for the past the the market. mark The slisht I @ sffsct % on prices produced by the developments which were regarded az unfaycrable recently prompted There was at the same time cessation of acute weakness in special stocks which have proved disquieting recently and also ness and which alleged troubissoms fea- lures regarding the finances of the compa- nies
 intended receivership for the Rock Island. and the securities of that company enjoyed substantial recovery. There was not much grounds for . rise In prices. The reopen ing of repair and car shops of the New York Central and Pennsyivania Railroads was considered a good sign.
 The December net earnings of the Penn sylvania created much attention and the heavy decrease shown did not depress the stock, pricipaily because rumors had been in circulation that 1t would be worse than 1t proved.
 The thirty-six per cent. decline in the net returns compared with December of last year was sufficiently formidable. especially in view of the large additions to charges on new securities in the interval. The dts- in gross earnings and the constant increase in operating cost which has been feature of railroad finances for a long time past. has been overcome at last and December. although nominal one effected.
 The determination to maintain prices in the steel trade, however. is expected to have some effect on railroad economies owing to the large part played by the con sumptive requirements of the railroads in that trade. The suggestion has been made that until the railroads find themselves in funds again by demand for securities. a reduction of prices of equipment material would be found ineffective to stimulate do- mand and that a reduction therefore may be postponed rather than avoided Anoth- CT source of embarrassment to the econom- les planned by the railroads is the large cost of moving empty cars, which is prompt ed by the heavy penalties attached to re- taining cars of other companies which were put in force at the time Of car famines re- sulting from the crush of traffic.
 The falling off in the activity of bondi was marked as in stocks. The tone was irregulsr. Total sales par value $2,4S6,000 United States bonds were unchanged or call. CKnaKNG RTQCK HIST.

NEW YORK CoTTON.

New York. Feb. 4.-The cotton market was higher today. closing steady at net advance of II to IS points. Sales were es- tirnhted at 250,000.
 Tha market opened steady at net de- cline of one to three points in response to disnuDointing Liverpool cables, but rallied on covering and the light estimates for to- uorrowss receipts at leading points.
 Busfness was not active but there seemed to ba lass pressure of long cotton against the market than for some days and prices ruled generally steady during the middle sesion on covering and buying by brokers with operating for leading interests. In the affernon there was quite sharp ad- vance on reports of steadier interior mar kefs and at one time March sold at H. and May at Il. IS or IS to 26 points net higher. The close was five or six points off from tha best under realizing. Many local traders felt the bulge was the result of covering and there was some selling on scale up.
 The opinion was that the market would react as soon as the short interest was re- duced but the reports of firmer Southern markets seemed to be encouraging some bull support Official advices received ears ly reported Southern markets unchanged to Ac higher. New Orleans ruled firm dur ing the afternoon but sent few orders to the local market.
 Receipts at the ports today 45.oSs bales. aRaiust SAB41 last week and 53,S73 last year. For the week 240. 900, against 2S7,S84 last week and 25s,71s last year. Today s receipts at New Orleans 11,9S4 bales, against 1s,226 last year and at Houston 1l7i4. against 23.sss last year.
