THE TIMES' DAILY FINANCIAL STORY (By T. C. SHOTWKLL) New York.- Feb. 2. A better tone prevailed In" the stock market In the early trailing in Wall street today. 9.72T1"s was due to a belief that the tariff 9.30 chances, if made, would be Insignifi 9.24 cant in view of the large deficit ex- pected to be piled up by the trade during the year. Although the trading was dull average gains of a point were recorded throughout the list with the Harriman shares, Reading and Erie favorites in the railroad group. In the industrial department Amalgamated Copper and Steel shares were the strong features, advancing one point and respectively. Smelters was only a trifle higher. Traction shares Were strong with Brooklyn Transit the lead, er with an advance of over a point. There was a demand for specialties at advancing prices. American Con., pre ferred, advanced 24: Distillers 1 and American Cotton Oil fractionally. GOuld shares were also strong, with Denver and Rio Grande common 1 higher. In London American ' shares were strong and higher. ' On the New York curb market prices opened steady. Qoldfield Consolidated showed strength as did Nlplssing, Kerr Lake, LoRose and Yukon Gold. New York Cotton Letter. '"i (W. B. HI BBS & CO.) "New York, Feb. 2 Market was quiet and steady today, with prices showing a little change from yester day. There was a decline In the initial trading of 5 points because the Liverpool markets failed to respond to our rally of yesterday. This loss, however, was recovered later on less selling pressure from southern and local operators inducing some further covering of shorts on the appearance of better Support from leading bull Interests. There was nothing in general run of news from Liverpool, Manchester or the southern markets to influence activity of an aggressive character. Spot demand from spinner's agents and dealers is slack at the moment, but at. same time there is no pressure of offerings from holders In south. Consequently spot markets are still showing no weakness. As long as, prices are thus main tained for the actual cotton there is no probability of any extensive bear movetnent being attempted against the option markets. Febru ary is usually a dull month. There is never any speculative Interest In February options by speculators and seldom any hedging operations of spot dealers' to any extent.. Extreme cold weather In all the cotton states of the last few days with tempera tures down from 24 to 30 degrees in most sections is interferring with receipts to some extent. Indications point to a continuance of a fairly good trading nfarket with more steadiness being shown than otherwise. In view of the narrowness of the speculation at moment and the Indifferent spot demands, purchases should only be made on the weak spots or declines from present level. If operations of such a character are judiciously made they should show good profits In trading for moderate turns until something transpires to cause revival of genuine activity In the dry goods markets and broaden the demand for spinners. . ; Bar Silver. .
