WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York, Feb. 26-Prices in the cotton market have fallen during the week. contributing causes being the sharp cut in steel prices and the bad break in the stock market.
 Fears of tari ffrevision, dullness and depression in spot cotton, weakness in Liverpool. reports that Manchester was to adopt short time and finally state ments that the yarn manufacturers of North Caroina would do the same all came heavy liquidation. apparently in part for big spot interests.

Liverpool has a very large stock and 1t costs considerable to carry it. especially as the spot sales there have al spurts. but in spite of every draw back. there has been a certain under. current of steadiness.
 Spinners takings go on at a rate which does not seem to suggest any wide e-spread complaint at ruling prices which continue to be much lower than those of year ago, while the quality of the crop Is much superior.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Feb. 26--The lessened dealings and the narrow ductuatfon in the prices of stocks today marked the market. rns % yestsrdays sSs movement t' having M @ been checked before the price had reached the low level touched on Tuesday. and today's rally having best prices touched on Wednesdays rally.
 There was little of importance in the news of the day and the market was due to the completion of adjustment to the new conditions which started the violent movement of last week. The practiced speculative element is accustomed to look for new conditions to effect start in the price move ment from such a state of the. market. On the side of the steel trade. the con- ditions seem to be still undergoing ad- for the final basis of settlements. Re- ports were current of lower prices be- ing made than in previous report and business thus brought out was said to be still small and Insignificant.
 Copper weakened sharply in the Lon don market and was marked down again at the New York metal ex- Y decline in the general list. That ad. vance was resumed later. The sale was announced of large block of South ern Railway bonds and the. whole strong. The incident was accepted as proof of the sustained investment de- mand for securities of this class. The return of government deposits by the banks and the engagements of gold for export have made heavy inroads on the cash of the banks, the amount reaching the neighborhood of $t5.000.. 900. but the interior has responded with unusually heavy remittances. the net recepits from that source being sufficient to cut in half the loss on the other accounts. The shipments of cur rency from the interior continue to be influenced also by the languishink trade conditions. The high price touch- ed by wheat attracted attetion in the stock market, but their significance is considered to be obscured by the arti- ficial condition of that market from speculative causes.
 Predictions of strong showing of January net earnings helped the liar. riman Pacifcs.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales. par value, $4.254.000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

Regarding the crop prospects in Texas. a well-informed New Orleans house writes:
 There Is every assurance now that the rains for the Southwest will not put in their appearance until plant ing time will have arrived next month. and the probability of having rains during the seeding period Is much to be feaTed. Dry farming Is impossible In theF making or cotton, and as rec ords show Texas, especially the arid section of the estern half of the State to have been without rain for a fong time. three or four months in Some sections. the want of sufficient sea soning in the ground is bullish fea- ture In itself insofar as prospects for the new crop are concerned. Incessant rains in March and April instead of helping, or rather improving the pros- poets for the new crop, would throw farmers. who have not been able to blow on account of the dry weather. back further than ever in making preparations for next seasons supply. If the law of averages stand for any thing, they certainly are favorable to the long side of market during the planting and growing period of the next crop"
