^The World Pinanrp Declines in the Stock Market t j Not Easy to Explain. COAL REPORT IS BLAMED Commerce Commission's Statement Taken Into Account. GREAT NORTHERN WEAKENS l Influenced by Legal Proceedings in Minnesota?Big Gain Expected in | Tomorrow's Bank Statement. fperlal T>!?iiat< h to The Star. iS'KW YORK, January 23.?A superficial ?xp!;ui;ition of the declines in today's stock market was found In the transmission to I'onsri-ss of the report of the Interstate commoiTf commission ot its Investigation of the relations between the railway lines unil the bituminous coal industry. As a matter of fact, the report set forth lit 11 nothing that has not been exploited before in addition, many stocks showed a Kreiiti r degree of weakness than those diTectl.x concerned with the findings of the Interstate commerce commission, and furthermore the market was weak long before I hen- was any general information as to the iittiire of the Interstate commerce comvnl.ss'on's reportThat, however, being the most tangible feature of the day's situation, it was hit upon as accounting for the general course of pr i es. On the other hand, except In the ..I* n inHivMnut securities. It was dittl. It to assign any specific reasons of novrlty for the market's course. Givat Northern preferred showed exception^ weakness, and In that Instance the deelltappeared to have some connection witli tho Institution of proceedings by the wttoVnry jff-neral of the state of Minnesota aga'hsl tlK> St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba railroad, the parent company of the Groat Northern, to show cause why its charter should not be revoked. The groundwork of the complaint of Minnesota's active attorney general was not clearly stated. Losses in Railway List. Other railway stocks which showed round losses ,tt one time or another during the day ?, re Erie issues, Pennsylvania, Atchi?on. St. Paul, Southern Pacific, I'nlon Pacific Heading, Kouisvllle and Nashville, Southern Railway preferrftl and Canadian Pacific. The last named, indeed, was exceptionally weak, and fully satisfactory explanations for Its particular course were not available. The report of the Interstate commerce commlsston upon the general conditions in the bUiujntppus coal trade could hardly be Instanced in connection with the dealings In the ftidujtriill and miscellaneous issues, will' b exhibited, however, the same tendencies tfliich were apparent in the railway list The I'nlted States Steel stocks showed ren.wtii pressure. Amalgamated -Copper n*ojIr althmio'ii ealAq nf enn per metal were reported as high as 26 cents a pound. and there was a violent downward plunge 4?i Virginia coal, coke and iron. Elsewhere in this group declines of one point ami uver were common. The local traction shares were a'so heavy. Tluj-rpKeJiminary estimates of the principal movements in currency during the week pointed to a gain by the banks of something under Sti.ooO.IWO. of which about tW per cent *a> derived through their operations with the subtreasury. Thf banks' gain in cash this, week stands out in strong contrast with thai reported for the same period of las: week, and should there be a further large expansion of the loan account there would not he much left for the augmentation vt surplus resources.

Trading was very quiet on the decline, and the market during the middle of the morning steadied up a point or two from the lowest, but showed no fresh feature and no improvement in the volume of business. The market continued quiet late in the forenoon, but showed a steadier tone, and at midday was about one to two points net higher on covering of shorts ahd a renewal of the support noted earlier In the week.

Yesterday only one lot of this stock, conslstlnc of ten shares, was sold, and the 1 price paid for that was 151, and at the close the bid was ISO and the asking price 152. Attention was first called to this stock by what took place at the meeting of the board on Tuesday last, when fifty shares in ten-share lots sold on a range of from 149% to 150. Previous 'to that time the bid had ranged several points below 150, and the asking price was about on that , 1 level, and then the stock, as Is the case gen| erally with those on the bank list, did not "6 u?0 IIIUV.II 111 kite UMtljr %A uitwu v ? *? ?? On Tuesday, however, there appeared to be quite a market for it, and at that time the idea among the brokers seemed to be that quite a block of It wag likely to come on the market soon, and the alleged purpose was to make preparation for It favorable to the prospective sellers. Today, however, the same brokers were j prominent In It until the close, when an- \ other broker stepped in and took several of ; the blocks. The range of the selling to- j day was from 150H to 153, and a block of j thirty shares, ttys only transaction omer than ten-share lots was sold for 133. The total sales reached eighty shares. At the close the bid was 132% and the asking price 133%. The balance of the list did not Attract much attention. All the Mitchell mining stotk that was for sale at 5% way taken, amounting to 600 shares in all. and then the bid was on that level and the asking 1 price an eighth of a point in advance. ^ j There was some trading in the bonds of ti? nr..ki * i >n,.. ??/i rv,m Hie T* aoniiigiuu ivannaj aiiu vuvouav w? pany on the recent level, which is 85Vi and 85<4. and fifty shares of the common stock , was bought at 40% by a broker, who sold an option at 40%. ; In connection with the revival of the ru-' mor of the resignation of Mr. Loeb as private secretary of the President is heard . the talk in local financial circles that He ' has been offered the position of president of 1 the Washington Railway and Electric Company. As the voting trust Is dissolved next June . the stockholders will thin have a chance to express themselves on the question of offl- 1 cers as well as on others which-come within 1 the powers of the holders of stock In such ] corporations. Until that tlmo the choice of officers, as well as matters, are decided by those holding the stock in trust. 1 iuuay a uuvermueuv ivctcipto. i National bank notes received today for 1 redemption, $1,390,015; government receipts I from Internal revenue, $709,760; customs, ' $925,535; miscellaneous, $63,002; expenditures, $1,240,000.

Alt OUV/l L, | lie believes that not only are the require- i ments of the corporations pretty generally understood, but also that the effect of the LBsues already made, or soon to be made, has been pretty fairly discounted In the recent decline in the stocks most directly nvplved. * * * In view of the present political antagonism' to the railroads In the northwest and tp the Hill lines in particular It Is not believed that any steps will be taken toward a sale of this equity to the Great Northern, fn fdct, If the latter's $60,000,900 stock issue is not approved by the stale, authorities, the company would not be a-ble to perfect the purchase. There is good reason for believing that important developments of a highly favorable character will soon be announced by the United States Rubber and Ruibber Goods manufacturing Companies. The report that the latter corporation is to be liquidated Is well founded, -and If the plan is carried through It will prove of greater benefit financially to the United States Rubber Company than any one except the inside Interests realize. In some circles It Is believed that if the plan Is carried out? It will clearly pave the way for the resumption of dividends on United States Rubber common In April. WHOLESALE MARKET REPORT.
