SHARP DECLINE IN
STOCKS LAST HOUR
Market Showed Strength
for a Time With Demand
From Short Interest

New York, February 1S.--A sharp de-
cline in stocks of yesterday was today fol-
lowed in the natural course of events by
a temporary upturn. owing chiefly TO COW
esing of short contracts. Tor a time the
market made show of strength, but it
was evident that the demand came from
the short interest, and the rise was ac-
companied by no growth of confidence
such as would stimulate trading for the
long account. Even the news that the
threatened strike of railway firemen had
been averted produced no great effect,
and after moderate gains had been estab-
lished among the standard stocks the
market slid off slowly.
In the last hour active selling was re-
sumed and stocks declined sharply. The
course of prices was disappointing to trad
ers who had looked upon the dispute be-
tween the railways and their fremen as
a large factor in the market. There has
been such a long series of unfavorabie oc-
currences that the interjection of bull
ish factor was a novel sensation. The
failure of the market to make a greater
response was attributed to the remaining
uncertainties of the general situation. The
rather violent selling movement OF the
last hour was linked with disquieting ru-
mors concerning J. P. Morgan's state OF
health. The departure for Europe today
Of Mr. Morgan's son-in-law served as
basis for these rumors. During the aft
ernoon decline the Hill stocks were
pounded down on selling, as were Reading
and Southern Pacific, the latter touching
a new low price for the movement OF
1901.
Bonds were heavy after showing some
firmness in spots.
Total sales, par value, s2,647,0oo United
States Is coupon, declined Is and the Al
coupon Il on call.

after the call and the general list did
little better during the middle of the
day, when there was some buying or
reaction after the recent sharp break,
but prices lost part of the gain in the
late trading under renewed liquidation.

THE COTTON MARKET
CLOSES At ADVANCE

New York, February 1S.-rhe cotton
market recovered practically all of
yesterdays loss during todays trading.
with the close steady at net advance
Of ID to 1s points.
The market opened firm a an ad
vance of II to Is points on covering
inspired by higher Liverpool cables.
claims of a better turn in European
politics and reports that the dispute
between eastern railroads and their
firemen would be submitted to arbtra-
ton. There was considerable cotton
for sale at the opening advance. which
was said TO be moro than responded
to the showing of the English market.
while there was also some reselllng
by local bears who had covered on the
break of the previous day These Of
ferlngs caused some irregulariity after
the call, but were very well absorbed
by European buying, contnu i de-
mand from shorts, and buying from
| trade sources. Recession of only or .
| points occurred from the opening fig
| ures and the market soon developed
| renewed firmness on favorable south
! ern spot advices. After the close of
Liverpool foreign buying was less In
evidence. but the demand became less
| active without any immediate increase
| in the volume of offerings and the best
point was reached in the afternoon
when active positions sold about 15
| to 2I points higher. The close was
| a shade off from the best under realiz-
ing and rather heavy selling BY houses
with western connections. Private ca
/ bles reported better feeling in the
English market and said that the fea-
ture was continental buying of new
crops. Foreign houses bought May and
Julv as we'll as October here, but were
relatively active IN the new crop posi-
tions, and it was claimed by local bulls
that foreign spinpers were buying
against their forward sales of goods
at the present level of prices.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 1S.-(Special) J.
Prices advanced this morning on the i'm
provement and strong feeling in Liver
pool, with a better demand than had
been expected. New crops were specially
desired, though there is no change in
conditions and the planting promises to
be large.
The liquidation of the past few days
has cleared the situation and the i'm
provement seems on the merits of cotton
at these prices.
Some foreign advices are less bullish
and spots in the south are reported 10
be more freely offered, but prices there
are mostly unchanged.
The advance here was we'll held to the
