COMMERCIAL AND MARKET NEWS SPECIALLY REPORTED FOR THE CALL
Demoralizing Liquidation Is Checked,
But Buying Is Languid
: /: New York Stock Market
T?EW YORK, Feb. 24.— A check came today to flic disorderly liquida
' i^kl tion tJiat was demoralizing the stock market. The perception that
vS-^Bjffl the course of yesterday, if continued, would lead to that result
| A - prompted some measure of equal support. The large short interests
\u25a0•':•\u25a0 "• were prompted to reduce their short lines with, the signs of a greater
\u25a0•'.Btatility in the market. This demand was a potent influence in the recovery
~ f -of- prices. \
-. " The buying demnnd, however, was languid. After periods of dullness
-nbaased by the mutual indifferences of buyers and sellers the traders tested
.• the market by advancing bids. The undertone of the, market therefore was
'\u25a0] fjfm, althcuph lacking aggressive strength. London apparently was as con
\u25a0 fused over the outlook as cur own market nr.d a sharps relapse there- from
'•.a former advance, corr.ir.g just before the Xew York market opened, had
: , rriuch to do with the feverish fluctuations of the -afternoon market.;
; ' •. There was a better feeling over the steel trade outlook and a growth
• o'i conlidcnce that the price concessions on steel products were a preliminary
• to revival in trade. The proportions of the market readjustment obtained
\u25a0 : -clea"rer lorn; and were corrected from the extravagant assumptions of yes
'.vterday that an immediate relapse to the acute conditions of depression and
• contraction of 1907 was in prospect. . .
The conviction finds very general expression that fundamental conditions
: : ;are sound and are shaped toward betterment. With the recovering tendency
: .once definitely shaped the requirements of the large uncovered bear interest
\u25a0••'must be looked to for explanation of the extent to which the rally ran. The
.\u25a0-'.TOOjiey market was unaffected by the large operations of the day. The call
•".'for the return 01 $30,000,000 of government deposits to the treasury matured
'\u25a0/ir.d the Xew York banks turned over many millions of this amount-yester
;.-: 4ay and today on account of interior correspondents. Over $1,000,000 in
C' :^oid was engaged for shipment to Argentina. Last prices were dearer than
'\u25a0\u25a0•yesterday to the extent of 5 points a share for Reading, 3 for United States
,'iteel and some of the minor steel industrials, and from 2 to 3 a share for the
•-.itJast prominent railroad stocks^
i. : :-.- : : .T]ie bond market was irrrgular. Total sales, par value, $5,700,000. United
': "States bonds were unchanged on call.

THE COPPER' STOCKS
BOSTON. Feb. 24.— Hutton's wire says: The
market opened soft this morning, with heavy I
liquidation, due to forced selling. Stocks at the
low level, however, looked attractive and. the
buying was good all through the list. East Butte
was the star performer. On any further rally
tomorrow brokers advise taking profits and
lightening accounts, as we shall probably have
another drive before the situation adjusts itEelf.
Copper statistics are not half bad. Whtlo
tbe unsold and available stock in this country
increased something like 20.000,000 pounds in
January, the Eastern visible supply decreased
by something over 5,000,000 pounds. On tho
whole. ' it is rather, remarkable that so large
a percentage of the January output handled in
this country wan disposed of in that month. The
January figured Indicate. In fact, that the copper
indnstry is -mployed to a much greater extent
than is the iron and steel Industry. We?con
sider that the January figures of: tbe Produ<*e.-s'
association are very bullish In their import of
what we may -. expect, if ,we ever get any gen
eral revival in manufacturing Industries.
The strength -of the local copper share mar
ket has • practically no relation to the market
for the metal. It is a speculation based upon
mine developments and may reasonably continue
to be moderately 'active** almost regardless of
any change in the price of copper.

ardor of the "cotton market (his morning despite j
the ; absence of any - storm over the dry belt -in

is needed. It Is natural thnt>Wnll street, largely
involved in the security market, should neglect

| now existing. It is evident, however, \u25a0? that the |
selling pressure of yesterday and the early I part
Of today's session practically . eliminated the
Wall street interest in cotton and further pres
sure from that quarter need not be fedred. - Eu
rope really uuJGerstauds and handles 'cotton bet
ter than she does our stocks and . cxmds. Cotton
Is a much more necessary article. to her exist
ence and it mutters not how terrifying the situa
tion In the financial district In New, York might
become, the European markets stand always
ready to accept cotton In exchange . for . gold.
It is a «matter of peculiar significance .in every
panic in history that cotton has been the one
commodity which showed an "advance. -The first
shock cotton receives is always the worst shock.
With cotton us cheep as it now is. no hesitation
should be felt 'in buying it. as . no big decline

Hides. .TalloTr. Wool nnd Hops
. The circular of tbe Samner tanning company
says: •. .- '
• ''The hide market has perhaps grown a trifle
weaker duriug the last, month. Heavy and me
dium . steers, suitable for sole and harness
leather, are in demand for .local tanners. Ad
vices from the east quote lower markets ' on
light stock, and therefore as large quantities
of light stock are shipped east prices are shaded
a -trifle.- !9rtHBNMSBPidN(HOMMB|P H t
" "Dry hides are perhaps a trifle weaker, as this
class of stock : depends on the eastern market.
Sheep skins . are somewhat better, owing to the
recent • advance -in - wool. Goat skins are . very
dull, at the lo*est prices. Tallow Is somewhat
more- active, at a trifle better prices."
'. All descriptions under this head continue as
before stated. Wool and hops are quiet, while
hides are moving off readily at full prices, with
no accumulation of stock.
