STOCK MARKET
 ON THE UP GRADE After Early Depression Prices
 Begin to Advance RAILROAD SHARES ACTIVE The Market Was In a Waiting Mood In Anticipation of Bids On New Ycrk
 City Bonds, But Bids Came S After Session Closed.
RAILROAD SHARES ACTIVE

New York, February 1.-The stock market today was still regarded as large ly made up of contest between pro- fessonal parties in the speculation with very small outside participation. The con- test was waged with varying fortunes and a good deal of obstinacy before either party obtained decisive advantage. The number of shifts in the course of the price movement up to noon was un- usual. At that time the bears gave signs of being discomfted and the advance i'll prices was quite aggressive until the taking of profits when the rise began. The sentimental effect of the prominent stocks which led the advance was con siderable, owing to the large speculative following always found in those stocks. Thus with St Paul, Union Pacific, the two Hill stocks and Reading moving slightly upwards the bulls had a formid- able influence enlisted on their side.
 An effective supplementary force was brought forward in United States Steel preferred when the railroad stocks be- gan to show indications of sagging. There was no special news to account for the strength which developed. Much discus sion centered about the New York city bond sale and current expectation of a favorable outcome made a sustaining ele- ment in the days speculation. No details of the price of the bonds were obtain able up to the time the stock market closed.
 Near the close the stock market became pronouncedly dull, in the desire to await information on the bond sale. Some re- mittance from abroad by foreigners de- siring to participate in the new loan was an element in the further decline in the foreign exchange market in spite of some selling here for foreign account of other American securities. The local money market was unaffected, seemingly by the demand to participate in the New York city loan. Forecast of the weeks cur- rency movement pointed to a cash gain in the neighborhood of $5.O0O,0oO of which an important portion was yielded by sub treasury operations. This gain in turn is mostly due to presentation for ex- change into legal tenders to serve in their reserves by the banks of bank notes re- ceived from their interior correspond ents
 Not only the large current redemption of bank notes but the heavy deposits of lawful money at the treasury department reflect the rapid rate of retirement of bank notes from the circulations. The bid of BIT by a syndicate for the 50- year bonds was unhurt by any rumor and in itself secures a better average prices than that, this exceeding consid- erably the preliminary estimates by bond experts of what the bonds would bring, which ranged from 102s4 to a shade above 10S. The result clearly exceeded expecta- tions. The spasmodic jump in the old

New orleans cotton Market.

New Orleans, February 4.-Cotton- Spots were quiet with prices ls of a cent lower on all grades. Middling. 11ssc. Sales were 450 bales on the spot and 575 to arrive.
 Futures opened barely steady. 9 to IA points below the close yesterday, con- sderably below expectations. For about an hour there was much activity, the result of a large selling movement. which did not cease until the May option had gone to TO-. 14. After this there was a temporary reaction, which was quickly followed by another slump that brought the market to the lowest levels of the day. biverpools showing was decidedly a disappointing one, the manifest reluc- tance of spinners in that fmarket to in- grease their stocks being shown in the small number of spot sales. The trend of the market was downward from the very start, and in the small support that was afforded in a speculative way, the market was not held back to any extent in it's flight to lower levels. At the close which was steady. the active months were 25 to 3l points below the close yesterday.

 COTTON MARKET General Liquidation Causes a
 Sharp Break SPOT MARKETS ARE LOWER Reports That Holders of May Option Are Trying To Get Rid of Their
 Load Helps To Bring
 About Decline.
SPOT MARKETS ARE LOWER

New York, February 14.-There was a severe break in the cotton market to- day with active Auonths selling at the of last month. The close was steady, but at a net decline of 12 to 2s points, Sales were estimated at 400 ,0OO bales.
 The market opened easy at decline of 6 to F points and after some little ir- regularity increased the loss under weak Liverpool cables, English selling orders, weakness in New Orleans, liquidation, stop loss and bear pressure. Before the decline was checked March had sold at 1o.52s and May at 1O64c or B to 34 points net lower The close was a little up on near positions as a result of covering. The new months were relatively steady all day showing at the most net loss of 15 to "A points, Ru- mors that the concentrated May long interest was trying to liquidate, were among the depressing factors but most of the selling seemed to be for scatter ing long accounts and to have been chiefly promoted by reports of easier mar kets for spots in the south.
 New OflednS was a Seller nere uuflng the middle of the day and about the only support seemed to be that derived from covering of shorts on a scale down.
 Southern spot markets as officially reported early were unchanged to 1sc lower, showing less weakness and some claimed that the bull pool was holding on to its May contracts, which were seen to be maintaining premium of from 20 to 23 points over July.
 Receipts at the ports today, 29,953 against 32,Ss0 last week and S6.2s1 last year. For the week, 17SO00, against 217, 956 last week and 2OS91S last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans 71s5 bales, against 7257 last year, and at Hous- ton, 1893, against S063 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'S Letter.

New York, February 14.-(Special)-A sharp decline in Liverpool today was due to the withdrawal of the Lancashire spinners from the market. This action is the natural result of the absence of spec ulation of which they are fully advised from America, and believe that they will be able to buy all the cotton they need, regardless of the size of the crop, because they expect the south to let it's cotton go before they plant their crop.
 All of the advices from Europe are bear ish In tone, and under these conditions the decline of today was in order. The spinners of Europe feel certain that their reorganization in the absence of specuia- tion fill enable them to control prices, as they stated they did at the Atlanta con- Vention.
 In general business there appears to be more doing as the factories open up and the movement of this crop and the Indian crop are both lighter than last season.
 The decline of the past 10 days again puts the situation straight up to the hold CTS in the south. If they do not sell the markets win advance again, but at the present moment the spinners think they have won.
