Holbert & Son, bank ers and brokers. 34? Robert street, National German-Amerloan Bank building, St. Paul. Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire us: "Following the h<-avy buying of Burlington yesterday a natural reaction was almost inevitable and a great deal cf long stock was found for sale during the first hour's business. The market took it with wonderful capacity and soon ral lied to about the opening figures. The detail of the refunding plan is only guessed at by the street, but the plan in general is be lieved in. Man*, holders, however, believe that natural delays will arise and they wili be able to repurchase possibly at a profit. We think sr.cek will go to 160. There has been realizing also on Northern Pacific com mon as holders are not hopeful of immediate action on preferred bonding question without which the common shares can hardly pay above 3 per cent this year. In Central Pa cific there is still 5 points as the shares are worth 59 on the combination. We are buying Denver common tn put away. The earnings are excellent and they will show probably 2 per cent on the stock in 1899. We have spoken favorably of Biscu't common Linseed common. Continental Tcl-acco common and still have faith in all of these. The public overloaded th-eonselves with industrials but when they have digested the floating stock and money lenders are better satisifled of tlie real value of these share**, quotations will ! Improve." FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York, Feb. 17.— The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here j were flat this morning, and there wa* con siderable bear selling on universal apprehen- I sions concerning President Faure's death. Paris bought freely, however, and a general recovery followed, the close being at the best, though mainly down on balance. Paris opin ion has it that the time ls so short that the election of a president must result in the choice of some safe nonentity. Americans opened dull and slightly below parities, but improved with the other markets. New York bought a fair quantity. The close was at the top. St. Paul was strong on scarcity of the sitock here. There are few selling limits on the books.

NEW YORK COTTON— New York, Feb. 17. — The cotton market opened easy with prices 4 to 6 points lower, under heavy realizing bear hammering and light foreign selling. | This marked change in the course of the market -was brought about largely by pro nounced weakness at Liverpool, the" latter be ing ascribed by private cables to the death of President Faure. Other facts aiding in de pression cf the market here included better weather reports than received in weeks, indi cations that receipts would Increase with a continuance of this condition and rumors that planters were turning their attetnicn to se curing fertilizers as first step towards pre paring for the new crop. On the break, the weaker longs and Southern representatives joined in the selling movement, and for a time it looked as though a bad slump would occur. The fact that statistical changes for the -week were strongly bullish and that the stock market displayed unlocked for strength tended to restrain over-zealous bears, while the appearance of limited buying orders at each point decline induced scalpers to bo s-tis.ied with the small profits.
