COTTON DECLINES
 8 ID 19 POINTS Trading for the Day Is Narrow And Very Irregular BULLS OUT OF MARKET Realizing Begins Early in the Session And After n Slight Reaction Car

 Low Figures
BULLS OUT OF MARKET

New York, February 1S.-Business in cotton today was pretty well restricted to the adjustment of evening-up of eom- mitments for over the approaching three day adjournment; with a narrow and ir- regular early session followed by late weakness under scattering liquidation and local bear pressure. The closes was easy at decline of to 19 points for the day The market opened steady at decline or : points on November, but generally Z to points higher in response to rela- lively steady Liverpool cables and re- newal of yesterdays late covering move fnent.
 There was, however, no sign of bull sup port and the market soon eased off under realizing by yesterdays early buyers, who seemed contented with moderate profits and selling by some of the brokers, who were credited with liquidation contracts for the May long interest on the decline earlier in the week After showing net loss of about 1 to points on active months the market steadied on arbiTage buying and a demand for May from spot houses, while shortly after midday busi- ness, which had been quiet. became a lit- tie more active and prices worked up to a net gain of about 1 to points on reports of better spot demand in New Orleans. few southern buying orders and Wall
 
 The weekend figures proved disappoint- ing, as the into-sight for the week was somewhat larger than anticipated under spinners' takings fell considerably under the corresponding week last year, and after their publication offerings became heavier with early buyers liquidating and local bears selling on rumors that a lead ing spot interest was selling May con- tracts. There appeared to be few buyers in the market on the decline, and prices closed at. the lowest level of the day. Later advices from New Orleans failed to confirm the claims of a large spot business. and southern spot markets of- ficially reported were unchanged to 1sc lower The market will be closed on Mon day and Tuesday of next week.
 Receipts at the ports today 23455 bales, against 1713o last week and S2,2s6 last year. For the week, 10o.000, against S7,77s last week and 142, 40 last year. Today s receipts at New Orleans were 1892 bales, against 41S5 bales last year. and at Hous- ton. 2O12 bales, against 9219 bales last year.

WHEAT SLUMPS IN :
 BEAR|SH MARKET
Early Gains Are Soon Lost
 Under Heavy Selling
CLOSE AT THE BOTTOM
And Poor Demand for Cash Corn. Oats And Provisions Also Close Much Lower

Chicago, February 1S-Wheat made de- sided gains early in the session today and later fell off even more markedly under wave of bearish sentiment finishing at nearly the bottom. Corn. with less initial hrmness. took a more spectacular de- cine and closed %c to 114c down. Oats modelled their course after corn and sagged to finish of ssc to s4c lower than yesterday. Provisions followed the grains ana after marked gains closed weak
 good demand at the outset in wheat quickly ran prices up from q l3s1 to N.14la, at which point the bulls. tired or listening to the siren song of crop damage reports, unloaded quantities of
 heir holdings and precipitated a sharp break In prices. The market sloped down ward until May touched bottom at s1.127.. lesc below the high point. Other futures leii on from l1sc to 1Ac. sSpasmodic ef- forts to lift the fallen prices were in- enectual and the weakness in the corn pit added to the down drag. North west wheat was thrown into the selling carnival which marked the decline. Mod crate primary arrivals were without ef- feet in staying the decline and were at tributed to severe weather conditions rather than to 8 shrinkage in the avail able grain. The finish came at nearly the bottom prices with May at S1 1901 ,131k %o lower than the finals yesterday.
 Corn prices fell off sharply under the stress of selling pressure and 8 poor demand for cash corn. Stocks have &C., cumulated for days and the aggression of the sellers overcame the efforts of the bulls to hold the market. May went down from 6Sc to 6614c, July and Septem- Der falling from 1c to 1Ac. The close was weak at nearly the low point with May at 66ss4661sc 1ss@11ac below the final figures yesterday.
 Trading in the oats pit followed closely the course of corn, the decline being from 7sc to 11sc. Liquidation was feature of the trade, which was large in vol ume. When the downward trend had be- come well established a number of lead ing longs joined in the selling. The de- mand for cash oats was fair, but was in- adequate as support to the falling mar ket. May fell off from 481se to 47Isc. The close was weak at nearly the low point, with May at 471b@f7Ac, %c lower than the final figures yesterday.
 Provisions, under the spur of record prices for live hogs. which today touched $9.471a, the highest point since 1870. advanced early in the day, May pork going to s2s.s5 25c higher than yes terday's close. The other products showed a more moderate early gain. When the backset in wheat set In, provision prices began to sag and fell of to a close un- changed to 5c higher for pork and 211c to 5c lower than yesterday for lard and ribs.

Since the commencement of the revolution it is said American ad- venturers have been fiocking into the country from all quarters of Latin Amer lea for personal agrandisement. It is re- ported that Consul Moffat is lending ms official authority in the enforcement of Estrada's order.

 The bill, MT. Ellis said, had been signed by him in the ordinary routine of busi- ness, just as hundreds of other communi- cations daily received his signature. MT. Ellis declared he never contemplated per- forming the duties of chairman and that of assistant attorney general at the same tirne

American Tobacco Shows Strength Which Indicates That Trust Does Not Fear Anything From
 Federal Legislation

New York, February 1S.-When the en- ergies of speculation had begun to show signs of Tagging today, they were re- vived by the resumption of the strong upward movement in Reading That stock iHgain Assumed the leadership of the market after having rested for day. On enormous transactions the prices rose to 1721a only shade more than a point below it's record price touched in the speculation of last year. News bearing on the situation consisted almost wholly of conjecture as to the source of the buy ing An obstinate and unwieldly short interest was credited with large part of the demand. Foreigners purchased calls on the stock some time past in the London market and this aided the shorts in rushing 1t up. The general list was { slow to respond to this development in Reading and the sympathetic strength was not uniform or all-embracing.
 There was much interest in the striking movement of the American Tobacco com pany 4 per cent bonds which moved up in bouyant manner. No authoritative explanation could be had of this move ment, but the effect on stock market sen- timent chiefly concerned in the pending supreme court decision. It was pointed out, however, that in case of a disso- lution of the merger of the companies in this combination, the redemption of the bonds at par might be implied. It is . fact, also, large purchases of these bonds in the open market have been made by the company In times past for cancellation
 Incoming reports of renewed storm blockades through the west and south did not interfere with the rise in prices. Special interest attached to a report of a large reduction in the St. Paul work ing forces for the purpose of economy to meet the heavy cost of operation on account of bad weather conditions. Re- , ports of an intended entry of the Van derbilt connection into Baltimore through the Western Maryland and of Chesapeake and Ohio designs towards Hooking Valley had their effect on the special stocks involved
 , Preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement indicated a large gain in cash by the banks, in Spite of the million and a half gold shipped to Argen- tina today.

Hubbard Bros. S Co.'s Letter

New York. February 1S.-(Special.)-To- days market was very quiet early. with g. fair European demand, which absorbed the local offerings in the absence of southern business, which was practically nil all day, owing to curtailed wire ser vice. In the late afternoon weakness de- veloped owing to fresh liquidation, al- though on a moderate scale from Wall street and the west and heavy selling from New Orleans. the market closing
 unsettled at the lowest prices. Again 1t was not so much the amount of cotton that was sold as the absence of demand. which brought the decline. Needless to say the local feeling is again very bear ish, but we understand a good deal of cot ton was sold earlier In the month on call in Liverpool so that on a further decline support is likely to develop from Europe on the buying in Of the hedges against this cotton as the spinner fixed the price. We don't think any increase in the domes- tic demand is likely so long as the crop prospects continue at all favorable as our spinners bought very freely before the new year. Liverpool should be to points lower in' the morning to meet our decline this afternoon.
