COTTON MARKET
 AT 4 STANDSTILL Trading Is Quiet With Narrow
 Fluctuations EARLY LOSSES REGAINED Moderate Support Is Given By Bull Leaders and on Reports of Bet
 ter Spot Demand the
 Close Is Steady.
EARLY LOSSES REGAINED

New York, February 9.-The cotton mar ket continued quiet today with fuctu- ations narrow and irregular The final tone was steady and prices were net point higher to points lower. Sales were estimated at 125,O00
 The market opened uteady at a decline of to points in response to lower cables than expected and increased the loss d point or two during the first few minutes under scattering liquidation and selling here against purchases in Liverpool Prices quickly steaded. however, on the light estimate for tomorrow's receipts at Houston and during the middle session the market ruled about to points net high CT with near months leading the advance on moderate support from the bull lead CTS, covering by scattered shorts, re- ports of a better spot demand, claims of abnormally light winter precipitation in the southwest and claims that the advance of the boil weevil was likely to result in a reduction in area. Buying was by no means aggressive, however and during the later session prices eased off slightly from the top under realizing. Local spot brokers report that there has been a much better inquiry from New England the last day or two and it is also said that there has been demanq for re- jections from the local stock.
 Southern advices are more or less con- fiicting, but generally speaking, claim that the interior is holding for present prices or better. Southern spot markets off cially reported were 1-16e lower to 1-16c higher. The light estimate for tomorrow receipts at the southwest was attributed by some to recent unfavorable weather
 Receipts at the ports today Al ,917 bales against 45,IH last week and 42779 last year. For the week 26O 000 bales, against 277,65S last week and 217,63O last year.

LITTLE CHANCE l IN STOCK MARKET Strength 0fa Few Stocks Gives
 Sustaining Influence MORE RAILROAD RUMORS
Report That Hartman Will Get an h. terest In Missouri Pacific Adds
 Strength to Gould Stocks,
 But Market Is Irregular.

New York, February s.-The strength of few individual stocks had a sympa- thetie influence in sustaining prices in the general list today. but speculative in- terest was languid and the operations re- sulting had but feeble effect on prices in general. The prevalent disposition is to await more definite developments of the business situation. A good deal was made today of what was called an im- provement in the copper trade situation, but reports on this subject were contra dcted and the impression conveyed was confused and wilfully so, to all appear ance. Directly conflicting reports were in circulation of large sales of copper on the one hand and a hopeless stagnation of demand and sagging values on the other The dealings in London copper warrants were said on the one hand to be speculative transactions representing successive transfers of the same holdings and at fictitious prices, while another claim was that substantial amounts or American copper had been placed in that way with foreign purchasers. The copper industrials followed the foreign lead up wards at the opening, but afterward de- veloped hesitation and uncertainty With the suspicion aroused by the opposition reports of trade conditions
 Another sustaining force in the dull market was the vitality of the belief in further important deals in the railroad world. The rumors of this kind that were of most effect dealt with the Gould group, the market action of several of the stocks in that group giving credenee to the ru- mors. These concerned themselves most ly with a revival of stories of E. H. liar riman's plans toward this system which were active following the announcement of financial support accorded by MT. liar riman in the disentanglement of Wabash finances last year. Today's reports point ed more directly to Missouri Pacific and to alleged further financing for that com pany to be undertaken by Hartman bankers. These reports were without au- thoritative confirmation, but the compre- hensive price movement in the Gould se- curitles gave them Influence.
 Chesapeake and Ohio was another sus- taining point in the market and the fur ther advance in that stock had to do with reports of an intended advance in the dividend rate. The annual sailing of J. Pierpont Morgan for his foreign vaca- tion tour had some effect of repression on speculation, as is usual. Another in Guence toward repression is the desire to await the clearer outline of the political future, which is expected to come with the inauguration of the incoming Pres ident

Activity Marks The Course Of
 The Trading
LATE ADVANCE IS RAPID
Unsettled Weather In the Corn Belt Creates a Strong Market and Prices AdVance-Oats and
 Provisions Close Firm.

Chicago, February 3.-Active demand by millers for cash wheat in this country caused a sharp bulge in wheat prices here today, the net advance at the close being ls@Ac to 1AG114c. Corn, oats and pro- visions also closed firm.
 Activity and strength marked trading in the wheat pit after the first half hour of the day Several influential houses with northwestern connections were lib- eral buyers and there was also a de- cided expansion in demand from miscel- laneous commission houses There was a little slump early in the session, but prices at no time were more than 1sdhc below the previous close. Renewed profit taking by leading longs was responsible for the early weakness. Toward the end of the first hour trading became active and prices advanced at a rapid rate until May touched $1.10 or nearly twice Pc above the low point of the day. The market closed strong. with May at $i 099s @1 O9sI. and July at 9S1A@9s5sc,
 Unsettled weather in the corn belt was an important factor in creating a strong market in corn today. Demand was ac- tive all day, especially for the May de- livery. The market closed strong, with prices up as@hc to 5s@34c, May closing at 6S7sc and July at 631s@6S9sc.
 Oats prices made fair gains in sym pathy with the advance in wheat and corn There was a general demand in evi- dence and also considerable buying by leading bull. The close was firm, with prices up 1sqAc to 2s@1Rc, with May at 521s65214c and July at 46s4c.
 Despite a decline of 25c in prices of live hogs, the provisions market was strong the greater part of the day.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York February 3-(Special)- While Liverpool was somewhat better at the close than called for by the ad- vices from here. the feature was the improvement In the distant deliveries as compared with the immediate showing that there was more pressure to sell among the holders of spot cotton abroad. On this side we have had a small mar ket with the purchase by a prominent house of some 10000 October as the one feature of the days transactions, As the outside holders of this crop realize upon their holdings they either buy the new crop or remain out of the market. It is thought that the holders of March will take delivery of their contra cts when the time comes for tender a< as they own the stock here additional cotton must come here for delivery. This fea- ture supports the near deliveries.
