Tuesday afternoon. Feb.

uNsAA1 htltEnOnUt req. ~
Resumption OF trading after the triple
holiday found news affecting values
rather scarce, but cables from Liverpool
were disappointing and they weakened
more as the session advanced There
was, however, some buying OF distant
positions by the Liverpool trade. II
was first day Tor March notices, but
none was issued, which heiped give
strength to that position and other old
crops. Lower sterling rates and talk
OF higher discount rates seemed to en-
courage weakness In stocks and to some
extent in cotton, but the decline did not
get very far before support came from
the same old direction, inspired by pre-
miums on spots and absence OF con-
crete evidence of any weakening on the
part of holders. Recovery carried prices
back to almost previous closing levels,
when trading became desultory and
without particular feature.
Liverpool was due to come little
changed, but there was consider
able liquidation, inspired apparently by
reports from banking circles that the
Bank of England on Thursday would
raise its discount rate to Z per cent.
The result Of this was that the list
sagged until the close and finals were
easy for the near and quiet for distant

including Il 900 American. Manchester
advised that cloths were firm and in
fair demand, while yarns were in fair
demand
A fairly steady opening was had on
this side, but news affecting values
was scarce Some thought the practical
passage of the railroad bill by congress
was favorable development, but the
early steadiness failed to last and May

and selling to 3440, dipped to 1897,
which proved low Strength in March
also helped in the early steadiness.
There was some Improvement in ster-
ling to help in the later strength while
clearances for the day and over the
holidays were fairly large. Lack of con-
firmation for some early reports of cas-
Ter spots in certain centers in the belt
particularly in Memphis, also contribut-
ed to the recovery. Trading was largely
of backing and filling character in the
afternoon.
The weather map showed that but
little rain Tell in the belt over the holi-
days, although this morning a number
of stations in the eastern and central
belts had light ones Some wires from
the earlier sections of Texas told of
work progressing and of cotton being
planted, while indications were for cool
and fair for the ensuing "a hours west
of the river. The new crop conditions
are coming in for increased attention,
but the large discounts on the fall
months make them rather attractive to
some of the trade.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The cotton
market was fairly active early today
but sentiment was unsettled and fluc-
tuations were irregular. The opening
was two points lower on May but
generally three to 81 points higher with
March relatively firm, owing to the
absence of notices, while new crops
were higher on reports of rains in the
eastern belt Private cables said that
near months in Liverpool were easier
under liquidation and the unsettled
early ruling of the stock market helped
to check fresh buying here, May sold
off from 34,40c to 34.25c and July from
s32.27c to 32.15c, with active months
ruling about nine points lower to eight
points higher.
There were slight rallies on covering
late in the morning. but sentiment re-
manned unsettled and trading became
very quiet around midday, with prices
casing off TO $3.50 for May and 81 75c
for July. or about 81 points net lower

Germany was buying low grades there.

GRAIN MARKETS
Early Depression in Corn on
Low Sterling, But Consider
able Rally Later.

CHICAGO. Feb. 24.--Some depression
in the corn market resulted today from
weakness of sterling exchange and from
lower quotations on hogs. Opening

1ac advance, with May $1.3001 ,301s
and July $1.27A @1.27%. were followed
by d moderate general setback and
then by a decided rally.
Further reselling of American oats
for which Canadian oats were substi-
tuted had a temporary bearish effect
on the oats market, After opening sc
to 1c lower, including May at 77$@
77Bc, the market rallied in sympathy
with corn.
Commission houses absorbed the Of
ferings later and shorts trying the COW
er forced a sharp advance. The close
was strong, 2hc to 4Bc net higher,
with May $1.34 to .$1.S4% and July
$1.30A to $1.30as.
Provisions were sharply lower, in
fluenced by weakness of hogs and ex-
change.
In the later dealings the renewed
strength of corn brought about gen.
eral upturn in provisions.
