Are Weak.
NEW YORK. Feb. 18 The short con
tracts which were put out In esterday"
declining stock market made the aource
of the demand which cart led prices to
wards recovery today. The hears wcie
piompted to cover partly by the lack of
lerlflcatlon of some of the rumors which
helped to carry prices downwards yct
terday, but more decidedly by the fact of
the decline offering a small profit in the
buying of stocks. The market has dwindled
to narrower proportions from day tu lay
bnd the professional traders are eagti,
therefore, to take a quick profit when it
offers.
The recovery today was srotty and in
terrupted and there were points of con
tinued weakness to the list. As the re
covery proceeded the demand lossenjd
und left the trading, at times, lit a con
d!tlon of stagnation. The news of tut
I'ay offered no evidence of impotiant
changes In tho conditions which linve led
u to the present dull and neglected mai-K-t.
It was scattered sources reporting
the resumption of factory operations
which had been suspended on account of
the financial depression that prompted a
belief In a gradual recuperation In the in
dustrial condition, but the contradiction
of additional curtailment In other places
or other lines of Industry leave conviction
unsettled as to the progress of the revival.
The copper industry la a center of de
pression and securities of companies in
volved In It are showing lower prices,
In some rases, than prevailed during loo
panic episode of last fall. That metnl
declined again today both In London and
at the New York metal exchange, and
accumulating stocks in Europe threaten a
discontinuance of the only demand that
has been a factor of any Importance In
the trade for some time past. Discus
sion la kept alive by the marked weakness
of copper, of the contrast of Iron and
steel owing to the decision of the principal
producers In that industry to hold prices.
Repttis persist In the financial district
of a possible reconsideration of this de
termination by the leading steel Interests.
A reason given for holding prices at
the present time is the unlikelihood ol
lower prices attracting effective demand
from the railroads until conditions era
.'Oj.-ltio. for the financing of new pur
chase of material. Securities of com
panies with large maturing obligations to
meet and whtrh have shown at the same
time heavy inroada In the rate of earn
ings to the market. For some of these a
special explanation for weakness Is
offered In the selling of stocks which was
distributed In the form 1 of dividends in
lieu of cash. The Gould stocks, especially
Missouri Pacific, sold below 34 today,
touching a lower price than for many
years past.

LONDON. Feb. 1. The supplies of
money w plentiful In the market today
and satisfied the moderate demand. Ins
counts were quiet. Trailing on the (Hock
exchange was dull and heavy the greater
part of the session on the prospects of a
shipping strike, which depresaed home
rails. The market finished steadier. The
weakness of the copper market depressed
copper stocks. American securitlea opened
at a fraction over parity. Frof.saional
traders disregarded the bearish Will street
news and marked up quotations further.

CATTL.K While cattle receipts look well
on paper this morniiiR, us a matter of fact
not more than half of tile reported supply
had reached tho yards and been placed In
a condition to bo sold by noon. The mar
ket was naturally delayed, but when deal
ers gut down to, business unyllilng In the
way of killing stork sold at prices rang ng
from strong to fully a dune lusher than
yesterday and It did not take dealeis long
to clean up the supply on this basis.
On the stockers and feeders the trade
was naturally alow, as the weather condi
tions were unfavorable un I tiie au. k pra
sented a very unsatisfactory appeaiauee.
Prices looked somen hat lower than yester
day, but up to a late hour hardly enough
trading had been done to establish quota
tions. In such weather as prevailed today
tho killing stuff usually sells all light, us
packers are afraid of a shortage for sev
eral days, while the stocker and feeder end
of the offerings usually sell to a dinad
vantage and frequently, as was dune touay,
dealers inaka an effort to get the stu.'f
under cover and It t It go at that.

until late in the forenoon.
All classes of buyers were !n tho market
early and opening prices were strong to
5 cents higher than yesterday. l.aler the
demand mproved as It tiecam certain
that supplies would be of only moderate
proportions and 'lie lata trading was largely
