"GOOD NIGHT NURSE"
 TO PRESENT PRICES

One of the eleventh hour bears said today that the south sent the same old story of holders refusing to sell and said this reminded him of the fellow that had hold of the bears tail and couldn't let go. My opinion is this is literally true. The fact that holders are standing firm is a strange hold on the cotton bears tail and the hold CT has no intention of letting go Of it. If the farmers will put this idea of increased acreage out of their head they will be able to give the tail a hard twist. Prices were soft early in sympathy ing was firm. Spot prices in every di- rection were unchanged with the larg- est sales at Augusta and Memphis Sentiment in New York averages bearish but some very conservative houses were put down as buyers. prominent southern exporter who is usually very accurate in his deduc- tions, IS bullish for the reason of the extraordinary strength in American dry goods on the contrary advanced in price, There is no question but what the immense takings of American spin- ners, if continued at the present rate will make up much that is lacking in the exports.
 All of this, however. is contingent that the farmer does not increase his acreage. If he does increase it--good night nurse to even present prices.

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS FOR LEADING SHARES Late Trading On Stock Ex-
 change Start Upward
 Movement

New York, February 9.-Lack of buying power, implying continued abstention of public interest was once more the dom- nant feature of today's market, which was dull and circumscribed up to the last heur, when a wide and general demand for leading shares resulted in a number of substantial net ga.ns
 On the whole, coppers were foremost in the days operations, Butte and Superior leading that group with an extreme gain of 5as to S43s Lackawanna Steel and Cru sible Steel, as well as American Car. Gen era Electric. Westinghouse and other equipments featured the war issues at gains of l to over points. while various unclassified shares, as well as utilities like Western Union and Mackay companies, gained as much.
 This betterment was partly offset by intermittent heavness Tn ols motors Harvester corporation Cuban-American Sugar. United States Industrial Alcohol and Peoples Gas the latter losing 3la at 10O1a on rumors of cut in the dividend at the next quarterly meeting.
 While making up much lost ground later rails were subordinated to the more spec ulative stocks, but New York Central, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and New York, Chicago and St. Louis first pre- 1eIfSu were dcllNe, SIrOlS, tHe tdltci itS- ing to SS on resumption of the full , per cent dividend. The rally was at~its fullest vigor in the final dealings, United States Steel and American Smelling shar- ing conspicuously in the upward move ment.
 Trade journals again confirmed recent statements of the high pressure in the steel industry, but forecasts of United States Steel January to tonnage were revised on less optimistic basis. Cop per conditions were summarized as "boil- ing" with indications of further unprece- dented advices for the refined metal.
 Firmness ruled in the bond market, eX- cept for Anglo-F'rench 5s,, which made a further decline to 94ss on relatively heavy offerings. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $3,S20,0 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Green salt hides show an advance of l cent pound and corresponding ad- vances are noted in other hides. The unpleasant weather yesterday added to the dullness. which usually character izes the midweek trading, and activity on Morris was comparatively small Eggs are due for reduction, according to local dealers, who say that the pros pects for good shipments are bright The demand is fair and if unusual shipments come in, the price will descend.
 The produce market yesterday was more active than any of the local markets, and dealers report fair days business. Today quotations follow:

Sugar Market

New York, February 9.-The deadlock which existed between buyers and sellers in the raw sugar market for the past few days was finally broken today when helders yielded slightly in their ideas and met the buying views of refiners. The days business was fairly active, consist ing of between 5000O and 75,O00 bags of Cubas for February and March shipment to local refiners at 13-1oc cost and freight equal to 4.sSc for centrifugal It was also reported that an equal amount of Porto Rico were sold during the past few days for February shipment to local refners at equal to 4.70q for centrifugal. At the close there We're further offerings at the above basis, and ths market was bare ly steady at 4.sSc for centrifugal. 406c for molasses and 313-16c for Cubas cost and freight.
 In refined there was only a moderate trade reported but the undertone was firm and prices were unchanged at 6c for fine granulated. The labor situation was little better if anything and aside from the American refners were said to be catching up in deliveries
 The market for futures was irregular, and after showing slight advances at the start on covering. prices eased off under trade selling, prompted by the slightly easier turn in the spot market March sold from 3.S1c to 3.7c, closing g. 7Sc; May, soc to 3.s7c. closing 3.S7c; July, 8. .96c to 3.9ic, closing S.95c; September, 4.05c to 4.G5c, closing 4.05c.

WEAKNESS ABROAD
 SENDS COTTON DOWN
Market Irregular and Closed With Net Loss of 13
 to 15 Points

New Orleans, February 9.-Cotton was depressed on the local market today by a selling movement which began in Liv- erpool and spread to this side of the water as soon the trading opened. Buyers of yesterday were confused by the sudden change in sentiment and liquidated freely, while considerable fresh short sell ing made it's appearance, although conti- dence on the bear side appeared to have been shaken by yesterdays develop ments.
 Gossip of the market was that the weakness abroad was caused by talk of lower freight rates. This market merely followed the trend in Liverpool. Around the first call prices lost to points This loss was almost recovered by a sudden increase in the demand around the middle of the morning, but the support was not well maintained and prices fell off again At the best the trading months were within l to points of yesterdays close at the lowest prices were at a net loss of .13 to 15 points. The close was to Il points under yesterdays last quota tions.

DOWNWARD TREND
 OF COTTON MARKET
Prices Sag Under Scattering Liquidation, Local and
 Southern Selling

New York, February 9-The cotton market lost part of yesterdays ad vancing during today's trading. but after selling off to 12.13c, May rallied to 1S.21c and closed at 12.19c, with the general list closing steady at net loss of from to 10 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of to 6 points in response to disappointing cables. There was an idea In some quarters that Liverpool had eased owing to yesterdays talk of a somewhat easier ocean freight situa- tion and there seemed to be some over night buying orders around the ring here which held pirces pretty steady TOE the first few minutes. Houses with Liverpool connections were sellers of the later months, however, while near months in New Orleans were easier. re- ports as to marine war risks were con- h1ctfns, and prices here soon sagged off under scattering liquidation, local and southern selling
 A better demand developed around 12.13e for May, 12.27c for July and 12.30c for October and after showing a net decline of about 12 to 15 points, the market turned steadier. Buying was
 7 no means active on the advance, but the firmness of the stock market was accomplished by a little demand from Wall street. while there was scattered covering which may have been inspired by reports of larger spot sales in some of the eastern belt markets March con- tracts rallied from 11.92c to 12.01c, while July sold up to 12.36c and Octo- Der to 12.36c in the late trading. The close was within ar 3 points of the best
 Early rumors that the break in Liv- erpool had followed the capture of the German ocean raider were not confirmed, and while it was reported early that war risks were easier again, there were later reports to the effect that any insurance selling was commanding the recent advance. Re- ports that small lot of ocean freight room had been booked at $250 out of New York to Liverpool were confirmed, but the market was quoted today at S6.50 bid and $2.75 asked. Advices from movement from that port during Feb ruary than there was in January as it is said many steamers are heading in that direction in ballast to load cargoes out for Europe.

DECLINE FORCED
 BY HEAVY SELLING
Stoppage of Export Demand Caused Wheat Bulls to
 Withdraw Support

Chicago, February -Disappointment because of a sudden stoppage of export demand brought about heavy selling in the wheat market today and forced a net decline of 2A@21sc. The close was stesdv at s1.27s491277s for May and H 2O5s for July. Corn finished &ia7sc down; oats off 1a05sc and provisions vary from 221Ac loss to a rise of 10 cents
 Not withstanding that during the first hour and a half of the session the wheat bulls appeared to have almost complete control of the market, they. withdrew support as soon as the fact became evi- cent that early signs of continued liberal buying for Europe were not likely to be fulfilled, at least not without some delay. It was then that the burden of profit taking by longs and of aggressive selling by speculative b..4s ea to q crash in values and left the matket nearly flat and about 3ssu4c under tne days ton level In addition to the apparent let-up Of export buying advices from the south west that told or free country marketing of wheat tended to unnerve the bulls.

In this connection the statement was added that coco cars o1 grain were waiting on track at Gal weston unable to obtain elevator room.

Previously the corn market had been on the upgrade owing to the removal of embargoes on sbipnents to Baltimore and a result of bullish cron reports from Argentina Oats at first Were inclined to advance on account of talk Of good demand at the seaboard weakness, though, set in when wheat and corn began to sag ,.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 9.-(Special )-Ca- bies were easier this morning. rather to the surprise of the local trade, who had expected strong Liverpool. The south was seller early. and the market was some 10 to 12 points lower than the close of yesterday. It was currently reported that the. marine insurance rates had been lowered in consequence of the capture of the German commerce destroyer, who had captured the Appam. This report, while not confirmed, tended to steady the market after the selling from the south subsided. There was decidedly less demand from Europe and there appears to be less buying by the domestic trade, although their business is so good as to lead desire on the part of domestic mills to take advantage of easier mar kets to secure portion of their re- orirements. The advance appears to have brought little or no fresh speculative buy ing.
