LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The buying at today's meeting of the
stock exchange was largely confined to
odd lots. Prices were on the current lev
els. The demand which was not large,
was satisfied for the most part
While the dealings in gas stock were
limited to the sale of ten shares at ssh.
one broker offered to sell fifty shares at
that level while another offered any part
Of one hundred shares The bid for such
lots was 81.
A transaction was made in the stock
Of the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company, which does not often
come on the market. The last recorded
sale OF ten shares was at 200. Today two
fve-share lots sold, one for 202 and the
other an eighth of point less. At the
close, the bid for a quotation lot of ten
shares was 200 and the asking price. 200.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, February 25.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline of =
points on March, but generally one point
higher in response to better Liverpool
cables than expected. Scattering liquida-
ton of March in advance of the first
notice day seemed TO render local SEN
timent more bearish. and there was quite
a good deal OF cotton for sac after the
call The market developed steadier
tone before the end of the first hour, with
active months selling about to points
net higher.
More favorable reports from the near
east and a better view of the Mexican
situation probably accounted for some of
the demand while there also appeared to
he considerable covering of March against
sales of May, which helped to absorb the
near month liquidat ton.

leans that there was better spot de-

southern advices indicating steady spot

ferings. and there was some covering by
early sellers on the advance.

Than SILVER in Streets.

PATERSON, N. j., February 25.-It was
SO cold here today that 5000 striking silk
operatives who quit work this morning
in various mills went back to their ma
chimes within an hour rather than shiver
in the streets. At IL o'clock the mill
owners said they were running with full
forces.
The strikers went out for an eight
hour day and minimum wage Of $12 q
week. The strike order was issued by
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and her COM
panion. Carlo Presta, leaders in tire
In New York, were arrested when they
refused to leave Paterson today. With
other leaders Of the Industrial Workers
of the World, they were waiting to adj
dress meeting of silkworkers when the

the first train back to New York or going
to Jail.

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, February 2J.-Money was in
increased demand and discount rates were
firm today.
The stiff carryoyer rates for the settle
ment rather checked fresh speculative
ventures on the stock exchange. The
tone Of the market was generally good
however. with quiet strength display ed
in shipping shares. British and foreign
rails and investment stocks. Copper
shares were weak.
American securities opened steady and
from Is to "a point above parity. The
market turned easier undo realizing dur
ing the forenoon and most of the initial
gains were lost. Later prices declined
further owing To uneasiness over the pro-
gram of the Wilson administration and
vague unconfirmed rumors regarding j.
i. Morgans illness. The closing was

When it became known that. in the
opinion of the head of the Southern Pa
cific, the decision of the California state
railroad commission put the Hartman
dissolution plan i'm jeopardy general SELL
ing was resumed. Union Pacific went to
152is compared with 1545s, yesterdays
close. and Southern Pacific reacted from
1904 TO G1s.
Lowest prices were also made in nu-
merous other stocks, including the HILL
Reading and copper issues.
Stocks were bought in the afternoon on
the theory that much in the way of un-
favorable developments had been dis
counted by the current low prices and
that a rally was due.
Southern Pacific rose Ia above yester-
days final figure and rallies in some
other shares ran to point or more.
