BANK FAILS BUT
 STOCKS GO HIGHER Prices Advance Quickly In
 Nearly All Issues BETTER DEMAND ALL ROUND Failure of the Bank-of North America Was Discounted By Rumors Last Week and Short Interest
 Is Too Heavy.
BETTER DEMAND ALL ROUND

New York, January 27.-Prices rose briskly in today's stock market in the face of several happenings that have been dreaded by the speculative ele- ment for some time, thus presenting one of the apparent contradictions which confuse observation of the course of speculative markets. There was undoubtedly large selling on the short side of the market last week when rumors began to gain circula- tion of an unfavorable turn in affairs. of the National Bank of North Ameri- ca and there was buying by these shorts to cover today with the an noucement of a receivershiD for that bank in a profit taking movement. A short interest had also been built up in anticipation of the announcement from Washington of the plans of a gov ernment suit to annul the Hartman railroad merger. The harmful effect of neither of these events was as great as had been appreh ended and no ap- preciable liquidationAwas induced by them to help the shorts in securing stocks to fulfill their short contracts.
 
 cited by the definite elimination of these unfavorable factors from the market and which was encouraged by the small effect which they had on sentiment.
 The formulation of the rumors that have been current regarding the bank ing situation into the official announce ment concerning the National Bank of North America caused feeling of re- lief and the whole situation was felt to be bettered Another influence in strengthening confidence in the bank ing situation, as al whole, is the pros- pect that by next week the condition of trust companies and state banks in New York will be the subject of weekly statement to the state banking department and thus remove once and for all the obscurity and uncertainty which have surrounded the actual financial position in New York by req son of growing inadequacy of the clearing house banks statement to re- fleet fully the conditions as whole. The flood of cash wh ch is now flowing into New York will also facilitate the establishment of the reserves of trust companies which contemplated in bringing tn ose institutions into line with the general banking require ments.
 Today's statement of the United States treasury operations showed de- posits in national banks reduced to $243.126,235, the reduction from the maximum amount of the deposits after the panic having reached $16,86S,036. These two movements tend to take up the slack in the money supplies and to avert an outward movement of gold.

 Spots Are Firm.
BULL SUPPORT IS ABSENT

New York, January 27.-The cotton mar- ket was nervous and unsettled. and while the closing tone was steady last prices showed a net loss of to 19 points. Sales were estimated at 3O0,000 bales. The mar ket opened steady but irregular at an ad- vance of points to a decline of point. the gains on near months being due to somewhat better cables than expected It turned easier almost at once, however, and showed a generally declining tenden- cy until March sold at 1896 and May at 11.05 or 26 to 30 points below the closing figures of last Saturday. Reports that German weavers were going on short time and that some of the Lancashire mills would reduce their working schedule were the chief bear factors, while recent buy CTS were disappointed by the absence of bull support. Southern advices indicated no change in the attitude of interior hold CTS and receipts were light but these items attracted little attention and the rally of several points at close appeared the result of covering rather than fresh buying for long account. Local bears showed increased confidence today, but there was some buying on a scale down by strong interests who were operating on the theory that the scattering long inter ests had been greatly reduced and that the technical position of the market was becoming favorable to a rally. The close was IS to 19 points lower on all months except October.
 Receipts at the ports today were 36,203 bales, against 33.056 last week and 55,S22 last year. For the week (estmated), 225,- GOO bales against 26S,O19 last week and S0S, 023 bales last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 1909 bales, against 1S,314 last year.

New York, January 27.-The dry goods market continued quiet today but the tone is steadily improving. Sales of cot ton goods gray, bleached and colored are increasing Dress goods and men's wear for fall are being opened, but trad ing is very light. Jobbers' trade is lighter than usual at this season. There are many buyers in the market, but they are not operating with freedom. How ever, conditions are materially better than two weeks ago.

New Orleans January 27.-Cotton, spots were quiet with prices unchanged; mid ding, 121sc sales were 200 bales on spot and 725 to arrive
 Futures opened steady unchanged to l point below the close Saturday which was about as due on the cables. Only a brief period of time was needed to develop 0 great degree of weakness, the market declining rapidly under the influence of lack of speculative support, and continued liquidation by disappointed traders. The failure of New York today and the fail ure of an anti-future measure in the house of representatives late Saturday also had depressing influences upon the market. The bearish features easily overbalanced the effect of such bullish features as small receipts at nearly all ports today, ana the bpllish statistical position of cotton generally. At the close, which was bare- ly steady, the active months were IS to 2S points below the close Saturday.
