Ft. Worth. Feb. 16.—In view of a scarcity
of receipts the selling forces p<*gg«»d for an
advance hx the cattle yards Monday and
would not turn loose until buyers made
small concessions. Mndders wanted to trad«
at steady rates, hut did not feel called upon
to indulge In nuy price-boosting, and the
outcome was a slow market, in the end
both sides had to make concessions, most
of the ruu finally changing at' pr'ces
that looked a shade stronger than last
week's close. Beef steers *old at $#.00 to
$<.85, stocker steers $6.&Q to $#.7 5, butcher
cews $4.35 to $(>.75, heifers $5.00 to <7.00.
bulls $4.25 lo $5.&5 and calves $4.25 to
$7.50. Smpply was limited to 3?00 cattle
and 350 calves.
Although hog receipts were fairly liberal,
around 3OO0 head being shown, the market
had a fairly brisk movement and sales
were fully steady. One <-ur that was choice
sold at $8,75. Bulk sales made a spread
of $8.35 to $3.65.
Sheep and lambs sold on a ftlow and

New Orleans Cotton.
New Orleans, I*a., Feb. 16.—The cottsn
market today had a rising tendency in the
early part of the session, chiefly on reports
of improvement in the spot demand, but
in the afternoon longs realised profits rath-
er freely and the market fell off under the
offerings, closing at a net loss of 7 to 10
points.
'iossip was more bullish than bearish. It
was claimed that March spot commitments
are heavy and that spot shorts already
nre already showing anxiety over the situ- j
atlon. Cotton men from the Interior brought
reports of stocks of spiiuiable grades being
i leaned up at many points. At the high i
point of the day prices were 4 to 6 points I
over Saturday's close; at the lowest they '
were 9 under. 1

Weekly CottDi Review.
New York. Feb. 16.—The bullish view
of Saturday's supply and distribution fig-
ures today see mod responsible for consider-
{scattering demand at the opening of the cot-
I ton market but prices Inter eased off and
(he close was barely steady at a net loss
of 3 to 7 points. The early advance carried
May contracts some 35 points above the re-
cent low level. This seemed sufficient to
attract realising, while offerings began a
little more aggressive as prices eased off.
| Cables were a shade lower than due but the
loco I market opened steady at an advance
j of 1 to 4 points with active old crop posi-
tions selling 5 to 8 points net higher before
the end of the firMt hour, There appeared
to be quite a few over Sunday buying ord-
ers around the ring nnd there was consid-
erable buying by houses with Liverpool
connections which were supposed to be un-
doing straddles. Commission houses were
moderately active at the start, but the de-
mand was supplied on a scale up and after
the close of Liverpool became somewhat
less active.
Wall street houses were sellers, particul-
arly of July as prices eased off during the
afternoon and closing prices were the low-
est of .the day. The south did not appear
to be doing much trading here either way.
possibly outside business was restricted to
some extent because wires were still work-
ing poorly but beyond such considerations
the talk aroumrthe ring suggested a contin-
ued tendency to await developments either
with reference to the spot situation on in
connection with the start of coming crop.
Private cables reported a quiet market in
Liverpool and said that continual buying I
of new crop deliveries was about the only j
features.
London reports say the latest estimates
of the Indian crop place It at 4.!>00.000 bales
or 600,000 bales In excess of last year.
Coffee.
New York, Feb. 16.—Smaller Brazilian
coffee receipts seemed to be attributed
partly to the unfavorable weather and fail-
ed to inspire much buying in today's mar-
ket. The opening was dull at a decline of
four to six points and active months sold
7 to 9 points net lower during the early
trading In response to disappointing cables
and reports of lower cost and freight of- j
ferings. A rally to within 2 to 3 points of
Saturday's closing figures followed on cover-
ing, but the market weakened again under
weakened liquidation, closing steady but
from 5 to 8 points net lower. Salesc 43,500

Chicago, Feb. 16.—Wheat prices today
showed unvarying firmness as the result
chiefly of European markets gradually
working higher. Closlug quotations here
were steady at 1-8 to V4 net advance.
Corn finished unchsnger to 1-16 up and
oats with a gain of a shade but provisions
off IH<&5 to 1%. *-
Suspicion that export business was In
progress at Duluth also formed an element
of strength that characterized wheat.
Duluth operators did some heavy buying
at Minntapolis. a fact which seemed to
imply cash sales to the east. Before the
close however Duluth turned to the selling
side and there was nothing to confirm
any inference that foreigners had made new
investments in United States wheats.
Not much selling pressure could be put
on corn «*ables and the firmness of wheat
cables being too serious handicaps for the
bears. 1 ■
Oats had fair support mainly from shorts
who were Impressed by a falling off in the
visible supply.
Packers and other longs made free offers
of provisions. As a result the market gave
way, regardless of an upward slant In the
price of hogs.

Stocks and Bonds.
New York, Feb. 16.—After several weeks
hesitation and growing dullness during
which the level of prices was almost sta-
I tlonary, the stock market moved out of its
narrow grove today and turned downward
decisively. It was the most positive move-
ment of the year which forced down many
stocks from 1 to 2 points.
Trading was more active on the down-
ward swing and after the force of the
selling movement had spent ItselC the mar-
ket failed to exhibit recuperative power
and no substantial recovery was affected.
The sharp break was ascribed primarily
to the further Niispension by the I. C. C.
until Sept 12 of the 5 per cent Increase of
freight rates by the eastern railroads. This
action was Interpreted by traders as ending
hopes of a speedy Increase In rates and
caused selling of the eastern railroad shares
for both accounts.
Lack of support for these shares led to
a more general bear selling. An unsettling
influence was the softness of steel which
had been consplculusly firm for several
days. This stock was unloaded In small
amounts and as it gave away the industrials
as a whole developed heaviness. Steel
stocks were depresed by reports of wage
reductions of steel mill workers. Exten-
sive European selling accelerated the de-
cline.
Petroleum stocks were especially weak.
Mexican petroleum lost nearly 6 points.
Western Union was strong and active on
the report that the American telephone
holding* of the stork would l»«$ turned over
to a syndicate instead of being thrown on
the market. Copper shares showed no
benefit from the fortnightly report showing
a decrease in European visible supply.
Bonds were under pressure although sonie
low priced issues rallied. Total aales par
value $2,865,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
