COTTON PRICES
 MAKE ADVANCE Better Cables Than Due Stimulated the Early
 Buying

New Orleans, February 10.-Small ad- vances early in the session and in the afternoon featured the trading in. cotton OF this market today a period of slight depression occurring about noon. At no time did the market display marked activ- ity and fluctuations were within narrow limits. The feeling was steady. but no buying power of consequence developed. On the close the market was officially toned very steady.
 In the early trading prices rose : to s points, which gain was lost later on. At the lowest the trading -lonths were un- changed to points down, compared to yesterdays last figures. Late in the day the market stood to g points up and the close was to up.
 Better cables than due stimulated the early buying, while talk of large acreage in south Texas was the foundation for the offerings which appeared around the mid- dle, of the session. Later the market firmed up on the foreign exports of the day of 52,407 bales, the largest in a long time, and reports of good spot sales in the eastern belt.

METAL SHARES LEAD ON STOCK EXCHANGE Advance in Standard Shares
 Met With Free Offering.
 Close Was Irregular

New York, February 1O-Metal shares assumed commanding position in to- days broad market, a majority of the letter known coppers, including Utah, Butte and Superior, Chino and Granby selling at highest prices in their his tory. Anaconda led that group in point of activity but failed to equal it's high quotation of the preceding month. The upward swing in metals followed a further sharp advance in the price of the metal abroad.
 Among the other active, issues were United States Steel, which added a sub- stantlal fraction to yesterdays advance only to yield later on selling of other leaders. Lackawanna Steel Republic Ircn, American Car, New York Airbrake Railway Steel Spring and kindred stocks were heavy. Mexican Petroleum, Texas Company and American Smelting being under constant restraint
 There were some spectacular gains in Ia few specialties and utilities, United Fruit rising 6a4 to 1882; South Porto Rico Sugar to 162: American Coal Products E4 to 1531a, and Mackay companies 61a to 9l. Rails Jagged in the early dealings but came forward later under the lead of Canadian Pacific, which made an ex- treme gain of 34 at 176. New York Gen. frals very favorable statement of earn sngs for December and the year 1915 gave further impetus to standard shares, but the advance in these issues was met by free offerings, causing some irregularity ht the close.
 United States Steels tonnage report for Uanuary showed only nominal increase but the total of thrilled orders within close range of the record for over five years. It is generally believed that the thrilled orders would have been without parallel, but for the fact that the Steel corporation has about reached the max imum of capacity for months to come Causing rejection of much new business
 Further light on the prosperous steel conditions was afforded by the LaclSa- wana Steel annual report, wherein the nS14 deficit was replaced by a balance of almost $4,00O,O0O.
 New York Central made a net gain of k2429,00O for December and about $19. 800, . 900 for the year 1915, owing largely to a marked reduction in cost of operations
 The Bank of England reported another hppreciable gain in its gold holdings and moderate strengthening of its liability reserves.
 Bonds were firm with further activity sn Anglo French 5s at slight recovery rom yesterdays low quotation. Total sales of bonds, par value aggregated s3,745, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged pn call.

STEAD|ER TONE ON
 COTTON MARKET
Opened at Advance in Response to Firmness
 Abroad

New York, February 10.-While 1uc- tuations were irregular the cotton mar ket showed rather 8 steadier tone to- day in sympathy with higher cables and more bullish spot advances from the eastern belt. After selling at 1225c early May eased off to 12.15c, but ral- lied in the late trading and closed at 12.24c, with the general list closing very steady at net advance of , to g points
 The market opened at an advance of to points in respose to the frmnss abroad, with March contracts selling at 1205c. July at 12.40c and October at 12.43c on or immediately following the call
 i One of the private cables attributed the strength of Liverpool to spinners calling and light offerings, but an other said it reflected a scare over the freight situation which might possibly have arisen from denials that the Ger man ocean raider had been captured as rumored yesterday.
 Rather an easier tone encouraged the decline which carried March contracts off to 12.96c, July to 12.31c; and Octo- Der to 12.35c during the middle of the day, or about net unchanged to points lower Offerings were not heavy, how ever, and the market steadied on re- ports that yesterdays larger business in the eastern belt spot markets had been followed by higher prices today.
 The buying was encouraged late in the afternoon by support from spot houses and the larger clearances. New crop deliveries made new high ground for the day, just before the close and last prices were within a point or two of the best.

Coffee Market

New York, February 10.-The market for coffee futures showed continued activity and firmness owing to the strong ocean freight situation and the steadiness of Brazil. Tine opening was to 8 points higher and active months sold IA to r points above last nights closing figures during the early trading. with all posi- tions making new high records for the season, on covering and bull support.

FRESH ACTIVITY
 ON WHEAT MARKET
Renewal of Export Buying Firmed Up Wheat Prices
 and Market Steadied

Chicago, February 10.-RenewaI of ex- port buying helped to rally the wheat market today after a sharp break that was due to an unusual whirl of specula- tive stop loss orders to sell The close was nervous at the same as yesterdays g finish to 1sc down, with May at $1.27slm 1.277s and July at S.2O1a Corn gained 10c 1Ac net, oats 14@3sc to asc, and provi- sions to 221ac
 Notwithstanding that quotations at Liverpool showed unexpected .firmness, it was not until after the market here had undergone a severe tumble that signs of fresh activity on the part of exporters began to develop. Estimates of the amount purchased for Europe put the total at only 600,0O0 bushels, but in view of the previous nearly complete stoppase of business with foreigners the effect was to restore in measure the confidence of the bulls. The sudden furry of stop loss selling which for time over whelmed the market came about as a result of moderate initial advance here that gave a new opportunity to discour- aged holders, who had been unable to unload on yesterdays decline. On the setback which ensued, resting orders to sell were automa tically brought into ex ecution wholesale.
 Emphasis to the foreign demand for wheat was given by an opinion from a leading authority that the worlds inn port requirements this season would he 2,O00,000 bushels in excess of the total as figured two weeks ago.
 Predictions were also current that shin. ments from Argentina and Australia would remain light, There were fore- casts, too, of continued smallness of do- mestic arrivals in the northwest and of green bug danger in Oklahoma, Kansa $ and Missouri.
 Corn developed strength owing to sea board hints that export Transactions were under way.
 bulge of prices at Liverpool and q reduction of estimates of the Argentine exportable surplus tended to confirmstbe prevailing gossip.
 Oats hardened with corn. Toward tbe end of the day houses with seaboard con nectlons were active buyers.
 Provisions received increased attention especially ribs. Throughout the session the market had an upward slant. influ- ehced by higher prices on hogs and bv reports that cash trade was improved

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York February 10.-(Special) Liverpool this morning fuctuated very sharply. but was generally better than due and the foreign market was a buyer here early. The cotton was supplied again by the south, whose selling brought a slow decline to last nights closing prices. Domestic business continues so good that the market needs buying or ders on each decline, SO that the under tone remains very steady. In the after noon reports of large clearances and spot sales in some volume in the Atlantic mar kets brought about an improvement so that the market closed at the best prices of the day. Sentiment continues very mixed. although the apparent disposition on the part of holders to meet all ad- vances holds the market in check.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 They were speaking of marriage pro- posals the other evening, when this story was recalled by Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina.
 Sometime ago young man became very much enamored of beautiful girl, and meeting her at reception one night, he determined to know his fate.
 Miss Smith, said he, leading the beautiful girl amidst the glad palm and seating her on soft sofa. there is something that I must tell you, some thing that I-"
