THE COTTON MARKET SHOWS STEADY TONE Cables at Opening Better
 Than Expected WERE FEW FEATURES The Whole Market Was More or Less Irregular-Port Receipts Show
 Slight Falling Off From
 the Previous Week
WERE FEW FEATURES

New York. February 2S.-While more showed a steadier tone during today s trading and the close was very steady at net advance of to r points,
 The opening was steady at an advance of to points in response to better cables than expected, buying of March by trade interests and covering of shorts.
 There was nothing to indicate any re- vival of general bull speculation, how ever and after showing a net gain of about to Is points. reactions of 6 to ' points occurred from the best under realizing and local selling. Offerings be- came smaller below the 14-cent level and the market later firmed up again on re- newed covering with the close only a couple of points off from the top. Be- yond the firmer cables, which were at tributed to a better trade demand, and the talk that notices issued against March contracts tomorrow would be stopped by leading interests and that part of the buying on the advance was thought to be covering by sellers of earlier in the week.
 Receipts at the ports today 12,064 bales, against 12,612 last week and 20.354 last year. For the week HOG bales, against S4S last week and S3,515 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 3731. against 651S last year. Today's receipts at Houston 3475 bales. against 2S07 last year.

THE WHEAT MARKET WAS DEMORA[|ZED Disappearance of Buying Power Chief Cause MAY WHEAT AT 90 CTS. Decline Proved Less Rapid Than Many Dealers Thought Proba-
 ble Under Bearish
 Sentiment
MAY WHEAT AT 90 CTS.

Chicago, February 2S.-For the first time in nearly three years May wheat today sold under soc a bushel. The market of buying power was the chief cause and behind this was the fact that Euro pean prices were staggering under heavy offerings from India, Russia, Australia and the Argentine. Decidedly nervous feeling prevailed at the close, which was at net decline of 1d11sc to 1ss@lHc.
 The end of the day left corn ss@1tc to 5s@a4c down, oats off 1s@14c to SC. and hog products at 21ka5c to 15q171ac ad- vance.
 Rallies in wheat were feeble, but tEe unloading, taken as whole, was of a scattered sort In consequence the decline proved less rapid than many dealers thought probable in view of the generally bearish sentiment that swayed the trade. Most pronounced weakness developed fol lowing news that the estimated shipment for the week from Argentine showed an increase and that prices at Buenos Ayers were dropping like lead. At the same time weather conditions throughout the winter wheat belt in the United States were ideal, the reciprocity measure con tinued to act as drag and there was no improvement in the flour trade or in the demand for cash wheat After midday the selling pressure gathered greater inn petus and there was a good deal of let ting go under stop loss orders of an urgent kind. Latest figures, however, were at 8 slight recovery from the bottom point of the session, May ranging from S9Ssc to 907sc. closing 1ss@11ac down at s97sQSOcl
 Rural sales of corn were on a larger scale than for some time past.
 The east was largely out of the market and was reported as not disposed to add to holdings until after the end of the germination season. May varied between 4S1sc and 49c, closing unsettled at 4S%@ 4S7sc, net loss of ss@1ac. Cash corn was easy; No. 2 yellow 471a@4sc.
 Oats held better than other grains. There was considerable covering by shorts. It was a weak market neverthe- less in sympathy with wheat and corn. May fluctuated from 31ssc to 31Ac with latest sales at a1ss@3134c. a decline of h@Ac compared with Tuesday night.
 Gossip as to concentrated holdings of May ribs helped all futures in provisions. The outcome was a net gain of 71ac to 15c for pork, 5c to 71ac rise on lard and 21ag5c to 15@1715c added to the cost of ribs.

MARKET CLOSED FIRM

New York, February 23.-Throughout today's session of the stock exchange the market maintained a good undertone, although the day was one of disturbing uncertainties Closing prices recorded few net changes of consequence, save In. the case of some of the specialties, which were advanced presumably as q |. result of pool manipulation. Such strength as was shown was largely neg ative, in that attempts to depress prices met with little success despite the inl- minence of the decision by the interstate commerce fcommfnissfon in the freight rate cases and the greater probability of an extra session of Congress.
 Bear traders sold the market at the opening, but their efforts availed them little. Evidences. of support at small concessions checked the selling and after a dip in the first hour the market right cd itself.
 Prices were maintained throughout the remainder of the day on an approximate parity with Tuesdays close. Concerted bidding up of specialties in the last hour lent an appearance of strength and ac- tivity to trading, but there was no. re- sponsei from the usual market leaders Virginia Carolina Chemical gained 21a General Chemical 61h and lesser advances were made by American Africultural Chemical American Can preferred, Amer ican Cotton Oil and United States Cast Iron Pipe. The market closed firm Trading in the Gould securities again made. up a large share of the reaction, although there was less evidence of ag- s gressive buying than on the carrier days Of the week and their prices advanced more reluctantly. Wabash preferred gained point. but Missouri Pacific 'm- proved by only 8 small fraction. Ca nadan Pacific was again active and strong. Revival of the reports that it would absorb the Wabash system at- tracted little attention. however.
 The Bank of Englands weekly state ment disclosed an increase In the re- serves of s2,575,000 although the propor- tion of reserve to liabilities as compared with the previous week was slightly less. Shipment of large amount of Brazil ian gold for London was explained by local bankers as supposedly in connection with operations in coffee.

On the call shorts were the best buyers and afterwards the demand from this source was heavy. Buyers found little cotton for sale and quickly bid prices up on themselves. A more cheerful view of threatened anti future legislation was taken and this helped the market. At the end of the first half hour of trading the list was 13 to IT points over Tuesdays close.
