buying for a reaction. The close was
steady at net advance Of 4a14 points.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance OF 6 to points in response to
the cables, and during the first half hour
active positions sold 8 to II points above
the closing figures of last night Pri-
waite cables from Liverpool continue
ported an increased spot demand from
the continent, and the official cables
showed a larger spot business, sales of
5000 bales being reported at a decline of
3 points. Liverpool futures also were
better than due, and with southern ad-
vices claiming that exporters were in the
market the news seemed favorable to n
rally. But demand did not b.oaden on
the advance, while there was cons derable
cotton for sale, suggesting that liquda-
ton had not yet been completed, and
in the later trading the market was more
or less irregular, with the close shade
off from the best prices on active positions
Trade interests were buyers of March
during the morning, but appeared to be
selling later months against it. and while
reviews of the general trade situation
in the country continued more optimism,
reports from Fall River indicated small
sales of print cloths for the week, and
it was also reported that curtailment in
the production of goods amounted to IL
per cent in Fall River and to 30 per cent
in New Bedford, or > per cent more than
last week.

traders thereupon deserted the bull side.
and there was something of a sinking
spell during the last fifteen minutes OF
the session. This condition was in de-
cided contrast with the feeling at the out
set. when lighter world shipments twisted
the market upward. Then, too, primary
receipts for the week were much less than
for the previous seven days, and far be-
low those of year back.
All the time careful watch was kept of
the weather and crop news especially
the official forecast of at least dampness
west of the Missouri river tonight or in
the twelve hours beyond. MAY ranged
from 9Js4 to 96la and closed &C up, at o6

Standard Oil Not Bullish.
The so-called Standard Oil interests
have not been entirely in sympathy with
this rip-smashing bull movement. The
representatives of these interests cannot
get over the idea that the fate OF the
country depends on a favorable decision
by the Supreme Court in that wonderful!
case OF theirs involving the LEGALITY OF
the Standard Oil monopoly. Feeling thus,
they have been all along for holding
back until the court acts. The rest OF the
country appears to take dHerent view
and does not want to wait. 1t really acts
as though 1t felt that the nation might
be able to worry along even though the
Standard Oil might be effaced from the
man entirely. Greater calamittes have
occurred in America than compelling
big trust to do business the same as other
people. This doctrine is held to be
circles and the advance In the stock mar
ket is looked upon there as mark of
disrespect.
Group Has Lost Power.
The Standard OIL crowd has lost
ground and lost caste by its unfriendly
attitude toward the stock market and
toward business in general during the
past year. 1t has allowed rivals to step
in and by taking the initiative in i'm
portant movements go to the leadership
Morgan & Co. were for two or three
years subordinate in po.tar and influence
to the Standard Oil group. 1t is 2oH
far and away In the lead. Other stroh !:
banking houses are cutting the ground
out from under this group of Standard
Oh tinanciers. Death has played some
part in this, perhaps. When II. IL.
Rogers passed away the Standard Oil
crowd lost Its greatest leader in Wall
street Since the death of Mr.. Rogers
William Rockefeller, his closest asso-
.ciate, seems unwilling to 60 to the front
with his old-time aggressiveness.
The city has been full of Independent
iron and steel producers all week They
are buzzing around liAe bees. They are
irving hard to muster up courage to
make some further advance in prices of
product. They say the steel business Is
improving percepttbly.

NEW YORK, February 4.-Stocks made
lively showing of strength during to-
days brief session. The opening was
without decided tone, but by the time
trading was we'll under way the market
hardened and remained strong and active
to the close. Speculative activity was con-
fined more largely to the well recognized
leaders and to a few specialties In which
pool manipulations are often apparent.
Much Of the strength probably was due
TO the fact that bear operators who
looked for a decline at this time were
forced to cover.
Among the specialties American Beet
Sugar was strongest. its rise of 3 points
being accompanied by talk of a dividend
on the common stock. United States

ed more than a point. and St. Paul.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific were
strong features of the day.
