NEW NEW YORK
BANKING LAW
BILLS DRAFTED
By HOP
Observation-Disclosures.

New York. February 1.-THE Van Tuyt
legislative commission to revise the state
banking laws made public today the
draft Of proposed law TO regulate pri-
vate bankers. The law would put private
bankers under the control of the state
superintendent of banks and compel them
to turn over 10 him as security against
the funds of their depositors registered
bonds and stock of the same class as
savings banks are required TO give. and
to the amount of 90 per cent of their
total deposits.
The term private banker Is defined
as including any individual. partnership
or incorporated association engaged In
the business of receiving deposits, money
for transmission, discounting notes. drafts
or other evidences of debt and in buy
ing and selling coin or bullion.
This definition apparently includes the
large Wall street private banking con-
Germs like J. p Morgan & Co.. as well
as express companies doing a money or
der business.

HOLDERS WISH TO
AVOID OPEN RISK
Most of Selling to Prepare
for Holiday Withheld
Until Toward Close

Chicago, February 1f.-Selling of holders
who wished to avoid an open risk dur
ing the holiday tomorrow counterbal-
feet of a good export call and of a
threatened cold wave. The market closed
easy at the same as last night to nc
up. Other staples all showed a net de-
cline-corn, AQ9sc to Sc; oats, l 11-16c. and
provisions. 21s@10c.
Export buying included both winter and
spring wheat and took place here and
in Kansas and at Duluth as well as along
the seaboard. Less talk was heard in
regard to cash wheat being purchased to
arrive In Chicago from Nebraska. In
stead, there were dispatches from that
state and from Kansas expressing fear
that another severe drop in temperature
would cause considerable damage to the
growing crop. Bulls had further en-
couragement by reason of assertions
that northwestern millers- would be un-
able to obtain sufficient supplies with
out going outside of the Dakotas and
Minnesota.
Throughout virtually the entire day
prices held slightly above last night q
level Most of the selling to prepare for
the holiday was withheld until just be-
fore the close
Corn weakened under an increase OF
country offerings and because of contin-
ued slowness of shipping demand. Re-
ports of a partial failure of the Argen-
tine later sown crop helped to prevent a
more decided setback.
Oats were depressed by the heaviness of
corn and by incredulity about supposed
export sales of Canadian oats at Buff
falo.
In the provisions crowd free selling by
stock yard interests more than offset
whatever bullishness might have result
ed from an early advance in hogs. Own
ers seemed to be especially determined
to get rid of lard.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New YORK, February n.-(Specia1 )--Tht
Liverpool market was weaker today. but
our market slowly improved from the
opening, closing steady 6 to points
higher on local demand before the hoIi-
day. The continent was buyer of the
new crops today.
So Widespread is the wave of pessimism
that 1t is difficult to hold a view that We
have seen the lowest point for some time
to come, and yet the attitude of the mar
ket and the improvement In Manchester
would cause close observers to look at
the situation with care
We are all confused with the million
bales of linters and machine-made cotton
which Is upsetting everybody. In the
meantime, the exports of cloths from
Great Britain are 40.000000 yards durins
January In excess of last season. If we
could only see some way that the million
men out of work In this country could be
employed, we think the wave of depres-
sion would disappear.

ROCK ISLAND ISSUES
STEADY YESTERDAY
Renewal of Selling In New
York Central Which
Drops Below SO

New York February 1.-THE level of
stock market quotations was not altered
appreciably by today's trading specula-
tion lacked any suggestion of animation
and the market apparently had settled
down for a period of dullness. With a
holiday at hand, and in the absence of
new incentives for taking a position one
way or the other, professional traders
were inclined to contract their operations.
Early In the day there was a general
advance, which reached fair proportions
in some cases. but in the late session
gains were scaled down until, at the close,
net changes in most cases were of no
significance.
BY contrast with yesterday, the under
tone was better. The market was freed
from the effects of heavy liquidation in
"a few Stocks which have been conspicu-
ously weak recently, although late In the
day there was a renewal of selling in
New York Central, which dropped below
SO. Rock Island issues were steady, and
Mercantile Marine securities made up
part of their severe losses of the week.
The extensive foreign selling, particularly
from Amsterdam, which affected the mar
ket yesterday, was suspended. London
traded in less than 10000 shares here.
closely divided between purchases and
sales.
The only event of the day which a
: speculative movement might have been
based, was passed by almost unnoticed.
Southern Pacific was not affected by fill
ing of the governments suit to compel 1t
to relinquish control of Central Pacific.
At the opening the stock moved off, its
heaviness being ascribed to Washington
reports that the suit would be filed, but
the fractional loss was recovered before
word came of the action in court.
Southern Pacific collateral bonds moved
up strongly for a time. being purchased
with the idea that, should the govern
ment win its case, Southern Pacific would
be compelled to retire the bonds at par
in order to free the Central Pacific stock,
which is security for the bonds.
Continued Improvement in the iron and
stell industry was reported in the week
ly trade reviews, corroborating the i'm
preston gained from United States Steels
monthly statement. The trend of bus-
ness conditions indicates maintenance of
the buying volume of recent weeks, which,
it was thought. might prove to be merely
a temporary spurt.

TRADING GENERALLY
QUIET IN COTTON
Prices Rule Steady On a
Scattering Demand.
March Steady

New York, February 11.-Trading to-
day was quiet in cotton, but prices ruled
steady on a scattering demand. which
covering for over tomorrows adjourn
roent. The close was steady and from )
to points net higher.
Cables were little lower than due, and
the local market opened steady at a. de-
cline of / to 4 points in consequence.
There was very little cotton for sale,
however, while there appeared to be a
moderate demand from shorts, who We're
probably the more disposed to cover as
open tomorrow.
There was also some buying by houses
with Liverpool connections, supposedly in
the way of undoing straddles and prices
soon steadied up to about the closing fig-
ures of last night. Demand became a
little more active later owing to the
failure of any important selling orders
to appear around the ring, and active
months sold G to points net higher in
the late trading. Last prices were within
a point or two of the best.
Notwithstanding yesterday weakness,
March was relatively steady today, in
creasing it's premium over May to about
20 points A somewhat more bullish ddea
OF weekend figures may have helped the
tone somewhat during the afternoon To-
days interior movement showed rela-
lively heavy shipments, while large ex-
port eearances brought the total so far
this season up to a shade over last years
figures for the first time in two months.
At one time last December exports were
about a00o eco bales behind last year.
There was nothing in the southern news
or In the trading here to indicate any
material change in the spot situation

Now Quoted at 26 and 2S
Cents-Demand Con-
tinues Good

Egg prices experienced drop of
cents yesterday, going from IS and
30 cents to &c and 2S cents n dozen.
The extreme scarcity in the hen market
is given as the reason. and the egg
market is yet weak 1t is not known
Just how far the price will fall before
stopping. The demand continues good,
but the supplies are far in advance,
due to the unusual laying qualities of
the hen.
Produce dealers state that business in
that line is up to normal, but that 1t
could be much better. Prices are sta
tionary.
The fish market shows practically 40
