EASTERN MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.— The day's operations In stocks were almost
•wholly confined to the customary closing up of open contracts by the pro
fessional operators on the eve of a holiday. The bearish sentiment which
has prevailed among the speculative clement was revealed by the pre
dominance of short contracts to be retired. Opposing traders were inclined
to take advantage of the necessities of the shorts by bidding up prices and
striving to take the market away from their opponents. The narrow limita
tions of the market to these professional operations were subject of common
'agreement. It was supposed at the outset that the weekly bank statement
would be given out at noon and there was some activity based on the assump
tion that a strong bank statement would be before the public before the
market closed. When it became known that the statement would not be
published until after 3 ''"clock the "dullness of the market was sensibly
aggravated. The strong feature of the market was the group of copper
industrials, With sympathetic effect on other metal industrials. A number of
circumstances combined to give this group strength. It has suffered acutely
from pressure for time during which a considerable short interest has been
built up. Yesterday and today the downward course in the price, which has
encouraged the selling of the securities, has been halted and a sharp rebound
recorded. The significance of the rebound in the price of the metal is some
what obscured 'by the speculative conditions wnich eurround its market,
especially that for London copper warrants. The course of copper gives
evidence, however, that the sales of the metal effected on the recent decline
have relieved the pressure of supplies seeking a market. Many assertions
were circulated today of the volume of sales which have been made, but these
were given out without credited authority and official sanction was not ob
tained for them. The resumption of dividends by the Brooklyn Union _gas
company gave an upward impetus to the stock- of its associate company,
Consolidated Gas. It was reported from the loan crowd at the stock ex
change that return of borrowed stocks was a prominent feature of the day's
operations, thus corroborating the supposition of the retirement of short
contracts going on. There was a conspicuous rise in Louisville and Nash
ville, which was attributed to the substance of the statement made by the
president of the company relative to the wage reduction question. That
question continued to receive much discussion in the financial district, to
gether with the probable bearing on it of the • investigation of conditions
ordered by the president of the United States. Some influence on the
speculative tone was felt from the intimation that the, interstate commerce
commission might have information in reply Ao the president which might
tend to uphold the contention of railroad companies for the necessity of
retrenchment of labor cost. Rates for time money for the longer periods
showed a continued advancing tendency today. ' v
Responses to the condition of national banks on February 14 made today
\u25a0will be followed with interest as indicating the prospect in the money market
Foreign exchange also was firm. A sharp contraction in\ the week's outgo
of wheat compared with last week helps to explain 1 a scarcity of commercial
bills in the exchange market. The bank statement discloses the fully ex
pected gain in cash, but the loan expansion appears unexpectedly heavy
apparently on account of payments of subscriptions to the New York city
bond issue. Canadian Pacific stock subscriptions during the week also made
addition to the loan showing. : .V>";.-
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value/ $2,064,000. United States
2s have advanced \% the 3»i Y A , the 4s registered 2%, and the 4s coupons
\Ya per cent on call during the week. r

THE COPPER STOCKS
BOSTON, Fob. 21.— The market vraa about 2
points higher on the day. A, better demand for
the motal at advancing prices, covering of shorts
in active issues and a general better feeling
caused the market, to rally 6harply soon t after
the opening and It held the advance all - day.
It is the general belief that the supply of copper
is extremely low. and: preparations -are being
made to start "up the Montana mines again
within 30 days. : The short .interest in Amal
gamated - copper is : still very' large, and if ..the
advance In - metal continues we should have a
cood rally. \u25a0 '
It is now said the copper situation is much
belter on account of the continued absorption
abroad. What a lightning change. in a few daysl.
The short interest is: the main and only factor
in beppicg copper strong today. .- Other bearish
operators say that at 13 cents Amalgamated cop
per can about earn its ; dlvidentf of 2 • per cent.
There is little, chance of much improvement tin
copper for a long time," and it looks like skating
on "pretty thin ice.
While the market has reached a resisting
point from which a higher level is possible, the
•-hiof disturbing causes remain in forco and there \u25a0
!s no present sipn of a change for the better, in
sentiment of a kind to: lnduce broad investment
or speculative commitments. \u25a0 ,
Dee says: "The .coppers' look "better than
anything "else this morning. : Reports ;. on the
metal situation ere ' much better today, and it
looks . as if a domestic demand were setting in.
Exports for the week ending February ' 20 were !
6,165 tons, and since February 1 15,449 tons.
All grades have been advanced . %c. . There is
good buying of Amalgamated around present
prices and it looks like a strong movement
against the short Interest." V \u25a0 . .; -
Quite a short Interest still exigts and a fur
ther advance is looked for in the stocks in con
sequence. . . ' .
A Houghton.Mlch.. dispatch says that copper :
is being shipped out by rail every day. 14 cars ]
having gone over the Copper Bange railroad In ;
the last 10 days, yesterday one from Qulncy and
two from Dollar Bay, with orders for three
more from Dollar Bay. Calumet and " Hecla
metal Is shipping well up to the amount- pro

\ew York Cotton Market
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. — Button's wire says:
Cotton opened steady ,at 5@6 points advance,
with the trading rather light and smaller traders
cyening up pending, the holiday. . The chief news
was firmer cables and a large amount of bullish
news from foreign markets. -The reports claim
a much better feeling and that - spinners were
! under cover. .• We still think it a traders' mar
ket. - . .\u25a0. -; \u25a0 . ; .-.,..\u25a0.-- \u25a0 . .- -
The general situation Is regarded as bearish on
the heavy accumulation of cotton in the south
pressing for sale at a discount varying fromlc
to l>4c from the present quoted prices for-mid
dling cotton at Memphis, New : Orleans and Sa
vannah, also on : continued poor trade conditions,
causing spinners to hold 'aloof from the market
in securing supplies for the balance of the sea
son.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables
The potato market continues very much de
pressed, with the excessive supplies moving off
very slowly, and although prices are down to a
point which allows sellers a very small mar
gin of profit they are maintained only with
difficulty. In view of the oversupply, kuyers
are operating cautiously, taking barely enough
to tide them over from day to day and
seem to . expect concessions when making large
purchases. Onions are in light receipt and
remain firm .as to prices, but there is not
much movement In them.
In the vegetable market It was the old story
of light receipts and a limited demand, with
fresh arrivals bringing flrm - prices when good,
while off lots were salable only when offered
cheap. Only 14 sacks of peas and two sacks
of string beans came In from the south. Five
boxes ot asparagus came In from the river.
The ruling price was 40c a pound, bnt ons ex
ceptionally She lot sold at 50c.

Poultry and Game
There were further liberal receipts of dressed
turkeys, 74 cases being received on the early
trains, and the market continued weak wltn
prices lc a pound lower than on the preceding
day. The few speculators who were buying,
realizing that receivers \u25a0 were dependent upon
them . to effect clearances, were quick to take
advantage of the situation and lowered their
bids. An \u25a0 occasional case that was wanted for
some special purpose - might have brouzht 19e
or perhaps 20c. but the top quotation of 18c a
pound was 'the highest price paid for round
lots. There was very little Inquiry for live
turkeys and the quotations were largely nomi
nal. -Live chickens and the other kinds of
poultry met with rood sale and the market
closed firm, with very little stock unsold. Rt*
ceipts of came were light, ' but with the de
mand "likewise" prices were merely steady.

company led the buying cf product on as
early dip and there was enough buying by
brokers supposed to be acting for t£e big
packers to give prices quita an upturn at one
