GOOD RECOVERY
 IN STOCK MARKET Short Selling Aids To Turn
 Prices On Up Grade LIQUIDATION ABOUT OVER Support Given to Stocks Is Substantial and Traders Act Together In Over
 coming the Weakness Felt
 On the Previous Day.
LIQUIDATION ABOUT OVER

New York; February 24-There came a check today to the disorderly liquida- ton which was rushing the market into a state of demoralzation. The perception that the course of yesterday, if con tinued, would lead to that result, prompt ed some measures of effective support today. The large short interest which has grown rapidly with the swift fall in prices for a week past, were prompted to reduce their short lines with the signs of greater stability in the market. This demand was a potent influence in the recovery of prices. That recovery was some time in shaping itself definitely and exhibited occasional hesitations and un- certainties, which seemed to indicate lack of strong conviction on the part of buyers.
 The liquidation obviously had spent much of it's force The buying demand, however, was languid. After periods of dulness caused by it's mutual indiffer- sences by the buying and by the buy CTS and sellers, the traders tested the market by advancing bids. This pro- cess was repeated many times with ap- parent Encouragement when the appar- ent increased volume of selling on the advances were perceived. Each time however, that prices were allowed to slip back the activity diminished.
 The recovery owed much to a sober view of some of the considerations which figured in the weakness of yesterday. Re- ports yesterday that the supreme court had decided against the anthracite roads in the commodities clause, were dis proved today. This accounted for the leadership assumed by Reading in the recovery. There was better feeling also over the steel trade outlook and a growth of confidence that the pfice concessions on steel products were a preliminary to revival in the trade. The process of speculative defiation called for by the trade readjustment going on was rec Dgnized to have made great progress in the abrupt collapse in prices which has already occurred. The proportions of the market readjustment thus called for ob- tained clearer form and were corrected from the extrayagant assumptions of yes- terday that an immediate relapse to the acute conditions of depression and con- traction of 1907 was in prospect
 The money market was unaffected by the large operations of the day. The call for return of $90,000,000 of government deposits to the treasury matured today and the New York banks turned over many millions of this amount yesterday and today on account of interior cor respondents Over a million dollars in gold was engaged for shipment to Ar gentina.
 Late prices were dearer than yester-

WHEAT MARKET
 IS STILL STRONG
Trading Shifts From May To
 July Delivery
SENTIMENT IS 6ULLISH
Corn Market Is Strong From Start to Finish and Prices Close a Little Hgher-oats and Provi-
 sions Close Steady.

Chicago, February 24.Shirts of scenery by leading bulls in the wheat pit brought the July delivery into the foreground today and that option advanced to a point nearly cents above the closing figures of the previous session, the high mark of the day beiug reached at s1.o39s. The market closed strong and only a trlie below the high point. Corn closed firm and oats and provisions steady.
 The principal owners of the wheat for May delivery turned their attention to- day to the July option, which month they bought freely through the entire day. This stirred to activity large number of sleeping shorts and purchases from these interests added greatly to the volume of business which was unusually heavy all day. During the day the price ranged from A to 17sc above yesterdays final quotations Trade in May was quiet and the price of that option ranged from Ac below to ssc above the previous close. Further sharp advances in the price of wheat at nearly all the principal grain centers of Europe, reports of "winter killed" wheat in Missouri, and a contin- ued brisk demand for cash wheat In this country were aids to the bulls in their efforts to force prices higher During the day July sold between $1 .02ssd1 .035s. The market closed strong with prices f to 15sQ1%c above the previous close, final quotations on July being N.O3lsG1 .O3l4; May at the finish showing a net gain of Ac closing at s1.16.
 Notwithstanding receipts of more than 1000 cars the corn market was strong from start to finish. A number of cash interests that sold freely yesterday were active buyers today and there was also considerable covering by shorts. Demand for cash corn by eastern shippers was said to be on the increase The market closed strong with prices up ssq1sc to 1s@ 5sc with May at 65%c and July 651s@ 65hc.
 Oats were inclined to drag, but the strength of wheat and corn prevented any declines. Receipts from the interior, 1t was claimed, were likely to continue on 8 liberal scale for some days, and with a falling off in demand the price of the cash grain was inclined to sag.
 At the close prices were shade lower to 1sc higher, compared with the previous close, May being at 54l3954ssc and July at 49ssc.
 Trade in provisions was extremely light and prices ranged within narrow limits. A 5-cent to 10-eent advance in the price of live hogs had a steadying effect on the market. At the close prices were un- changed to 21ac higher, compared with yesterdays final quotations.
 Cash quotations ranged as follows:

DO II NOW

Why defer action when you have an opportunity to invest your sav- ings with ABSOLUTE SAFETY AND ASSURANCE OF LARGE PROFITS?
 There is no better security to be had than gold, and the per cent gold bonds of the California Con- solidated Mines Company are backed by the precious metal to the extent of several times over the amount of the bond issue.
 With the bonds you secure with out additional cost an equal amount of stock that will pay continuous and increasing dividends for gen erations to come. What better in vestment can you possibly make? If you are looking for an invest ment that will be absolutely safe and pay you interest at the rate of from to 3 per cent per annum, then I would advise the purchase of Government bonds or the deposit of your money in high grade sav- ings bank; but if you desire to com bine with safety the greatest pos sible profit then there is nothing to be had today that begins to com pare with what I am offering
 Remember that the mines of the California Consolidated Mine Com pany have long passed the stage of experiment. have millions of tons of ore in sight, have able, experienced and reliable manage ment, and are vouched for by the very highest authorities. Large . subscriptions have already been made to these bonds and an early application is advised.

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES HIGHER Prices Weaken Early On Re- portSFrom The South BUYERS ARE PLENTIFUL After an Irregular Price Movement a Rally Improves the Market and
 Final Figures Are the
 Best of the Day.
BUYERS ARE PLENTIFUL

New York February 24.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled to- day, but after quite sharp break dur ing the middle session. the loss was re- covered with the close very steady, net unchanged to 4 points higher.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 1 point to a decline of 1 point, which was about as due on the cables but after some early irregularity the market weakened under reports that southern spinners would meet at Char lotte tomorrow to discuss curtailment, rumors of short time in Manchester, talk of easier spot markets in the south, and a renewal of Wall street liquidation. Stop loss orders were un covered on the decline, and the old crop months sold off to a net loss of points. Some of the old crop sellers appeared to be buying late months which also received support, owing to the continued absence of soaking rains in the southwest, with the result that they ruled relatively steady and sold only to 4 points under the close of last night. A rally to about last nights finals was followed by dip, when southern spot markets reported early were seen to be 1s @ A c lower, but in tne last half hour the market improved on covering with the active months touch ing the best prices of the day, and clos ing at practically the top Sales for the day were estimated at about 200. 900 bales. Nearly all the large commits sion houses were heavy selleKs at times, probably representing the fiqui dation' of old longs. who had become discouraged by the recent failure of the market to make headway on the bull side, and the unsettled condition of the steel trade.
 Receipts at the ports today, 1O,670 bales. against 24751 last week, and 2S,- 765 last year. For the week. 10000, against 140.S41 last week., and 121, ,056 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York February 24-(speeial.)-so long as Liverpool was open arbitrage buyers supported this market taking the offers and selling in Liverpool, after which the market eased off under what looked like Wall street liquidation, but the traders are looking for reaction tomorrow and under their buying rally followed. Some investment demand was apparent on scale down in the new crops as the recent showers in Texas are not thought to have been sufficient to break the drought Elsewhere the cot ton belt has had all the rain needed. The trade will now watch the action of spin ners or the progress of the new crop for a guide to activity In the last few min utes the market rallied in anticipation of A reaction in Liverpool tomorrow.
