STOCK MARKET HAS OVERCOME SHOCK At Opening Trading Was Heavy and Was Soon Stagnant RALLY TOWARDS THE CLOSE How Far the New Turn of Affairs In Northern Securities Case May Affect the Market Is Dif ficult to See. .... 4 ♦ All markets will be closed today on account of the celebration of ♦ ♦ the anniversary of George Wash ♦ lngton's birth. ♦ New York, February 21.—The action of the stock market this morning demon strated conclusively that speculative sen timent had overcome the shock caused by yesterday’s unexpected announcement of ♦he proceedings against the Northern Se curities Company. Stocks held on mar gin and by timid holders had apparently sold out yesterday and the forced liqui dation completed there was very little need for supporting orders In the mar ket this morning. It was generally sup posed the stocks bought yesterday for support had been unloaded on the rally as Insiders gained confidence that no serious break was impending. At the opening the market was heavy but by the second hour the selling had fallen to such a small proportion that the market was practically stagnant. At the same time there were points of resistance and a few stocks gained additional Strength as the day progressed and led a substantial rally which placed prices quite generally above last night's close. The issuance of the bank statement seem ed to be the turning point. The cash Item was very practically unchanged in stead of the expected decrease of over a million dollars and the restriction of the loan expansion to less than $0,000,000 re assured the sentiment that credit re sources were being taken up too hastily. The call money rate eased off to 2 per cent under the showing of the bank state ment and the reduced requirements for Speculative purposes. The cessation of forced liquidation and the development of Strength in a number of stocks drove the Shorts to cover. A report that J. P. Mor gan had gone to Washington to confer With President Roosevelt gave room traders comfort. The Colorado and Southern stocks became very strong at the last on a volume of dealings unpre cedented for the market. Their gains reached 3 points or better. Good dividend prospects were alleged as the reason for the advance. Chicago. Indianapolis and Liouisville also rose 3% and the preferred on reported dividend prospects. Amalgamated Copper was erratic, ris ing at one time over a point but closing practically unchanged. Manhattan also failed to hold its gain of 1%. Northwest ern recovered of yesterday's loss. United States Rubber stocks were strong. Outside.of these the striking gains were In less prominent stocks. Renewed iPtrength In the exchange market cor roborated the expectation that more gold wlff-be* exported next week. Bonds were rather dull and Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,3S5,000. The announced determination of the authorities at Washington to take steps against the Northern Securities Com pany on the ground that it was formed Jn violation of the Sherman anti-trust law of 1890 upset the stock market on Thursday and superseded every other consideration. Previous to that time there had been a dull and spotty market, •with individual stocks advancing sharply and the general undertone firm. This was due to the disinclination of holders to sell as much as to cause any marked de mand for stocks. How far the new turn of affairs in Northern Securities may ul timately affect the market is difficult to foresee. There were substantial interests at work and the most of them were large buyers of stocks in the flurry of Thurs day, while the sellers were almost wholly the speculators on margin, some of them of unimportant character. The rule, how ever, that substantial interests come to the support of values of properties In which they are interested in time of crisis without any purpose of obtaining stocks for permanent holding was apparent.

COTTON MARKET OPENED STEW Followed a Narrow Rut for the Rest of the Day STATISTICS ARE BEARISH South Shared Disposition to Snap Up All Offerings at Former High Prices—Has No Special Significance. New York, Feb. 21.—The eotton market opened steady, with prices 1 point higher to 3 points lower, and for the rest of the day followed a narrow rut, with the bulk of the business done pre-holiday. Settlements by the talent were no indi cation of weakness in the spot situation at any point. Statistics were surprisingly bearish If reckoned with alone, but when the enormous export /movement was con sidered and the eagerness of exporters in the south to snap up all offerings at former high prices, the movement lacked special significance. The superintendent of the cotton ex change made the “insight” for the week 209.197 bales against 13,054 last year. 198, 835 two years ago and 100,092 three years ago. with the total since September 1, 8,526,327, or some 400,000 more than dur ing the same time a year ago. Liverpool cables were something of a disappoint ment, but made little impression upon the local market. At the close the mar ket here was steady, with prices net 2 points lower to 6 points higher. New Orleans Cotton Market. New Orleans. February 21 —Steady New York, quiet Liverpool cables, cloudy weather and divergent views of buyers and sellers had the effect of checking the movement of spot cotton today, re stricting sales to 2600 bales, including 700 to arrive. Quotations unchanged. The future market opened unchanged to 2 points down. After the call prices re mained steady In spite of the heavy ‘'In sight" which was 215,000 for the week against 153,000 last year. The fact that tomorrow is a holiday In all American markets had a steadying tendency. At the close the board showed net losses of 2 to 3 points.

Murphy & Co.' Cotton Letter. New York, February 21.—'The cotton market opened dull and easier by 1 to 2 points, and was a waiting market early in the day, pending returns of movement for the w’eek. Cables were without spe cial slgplflcance. New Englund reports were quite satisfactory as to the mill sit uation. Moderate stock held generally and destined to buy raw material, but there was no evidence of any such magnificent trade surroundings as asserted by ex treme bulls. The weather south has been unfavorable for moving the crop, and this being used by bearB in anticipa tion of reports of a decreased movement. Port receipts estimated for the day are 28.000 v*. 21.000 last year. The ln-sight for the week Is 214,733 agnlnst 153.000 last year. The buying of March by Phila delphia attracted some attention, hut the general trade was indifferent. We have had repeated claims of receipts going to fall off with too little evidence to oon flrm. Now such reports are multiplying to such an extent, and emanating In such quarters to lead the belief that they may actually mean something. The Liverpool situation this week has undergone no great change from a statistical stand point. Stocks of all kinds have climbed from 1,054.01X1 to 1,113,000 as against 747,000 last year, while the American stocks are now 1,000,000 against 958,000 laBt week and 054.000 last year. The American afloat Is 178,000, or 33,000 less than last week and 39,(XX) more than last year. Prices at Liv erpool arc todny Btill behind last year by % penny.
