NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The stock market
today ruled largely by technical con-
sideration The professional element was
chary of risking short sales in view of yes
terdays demonstration of small liquidation
induced by the considerable decline of last
week.
That decline, in fact had built up a short
interest of considerable proportion and the
room traders found a fulcrum in the neces-
sities of these uncovered shorts for lifting
prices They worked, therefore, the long
side of the market. There was nothing to
show these operations were supplemented
in any important way by general outside
demand for stocks.
Some Importance was attached to sharp
advance in the price of copper warrants in
the London market, the first that had oc-
Cured in many days.
From trade sources came intimations of
shading foundry iron prices. The iron and
steel industries, however. were higher in
the market.
The California attitude on the japanese
question and resumptio of the hearings in
the Tennessee Coal and Iron merger inquiry
in Washington were cited distasteful to
the speculative view, but without tangible
effect on prices.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$5s994,000. United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

CHICAGO Feb 2-There was a natural
reaction on wheat from the strong advance
of yesterday In many respects the selling
OF today was natural considering the char
acter of the buying Monday The bull lead
ers probably don't wish to accumulate any
further line. and some of the wheat taken
Yesterday in forcing some better action in
the market was sold again today, and was
one of the causes of the reaction There
was good general proft-taking in May wheat
around $l-09 on early trades Some of the
news was a little less favorable to buyers
Most important in this line was the increase
Oh 4,SOO,OO0 bushels in worlds stocks for the
week. The trade seemed to overlook the
fact that Bradstreets gave two and one-half
million bushels decrease in wheat stocks east
of the Rockies.
The trade seems inclined to follow the ac-
tion in wheat. Local longs who have been
right on the market for days were taking
pronts. Estimates for tomorrow is small at
9S cars. Total western receipts about 40 per
cent of last year. At the close SHINING
sales of 1T5, 600 bushels were reported The
south wants lot of and is doubtful If
any decided breaks can be brought about at
market
People in the cash oat trade say there is
a good eastern demand. Cash prices got
over the May today and put an end to the
buying of No. white oats to sell in the pit.
Shipping business was reported at about
100000 bushels.
The large run of hogs which naturally
followed the opening UP of roads after storm
late last week and the publication of the
increase in the provision stocks for the
month of January encouraged sellers and
caused longs to nquidate. Shorts were best

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

Special service to The Herald by Dick Bros.
&, Co, members New York Cotton exchange.
Bradbury building, Los Angeles.
NEW YORK, Feb. Cotton was dull and
irregular today with prices steaded by the
lack of sellers as traders were afraid of fur
ther manipulation of the near positions By
a prominent Philadelphia spot interest. The
demand for spots has slackened consider
ably, due entirely to the fact that the wants
of spinners have been pretty well supplied
out of the New York local stock and also al
New Orleans. Trade generally is optimistic
but it is noticeable that the volume of bust
ness does not by any means come up to the
expectations current two or three months
ago. The visible and invisible supply are tbs
largest on record, and while the bulls show
willingness to give support, the market un-
doubtedly has the largest long interest in
nrnnnrtinn 10 its size in several YEARS
