NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. — The growing abundance of funds in the money
market afforded facilities for the conduct of speculative operations and was
taken advantage of freely by a considerable number of the professional class.
The result of these operations was the maintenance of prices at a level
slightly above last night's. The business was most unevenly distributed and
the price movement was a checked one and notable for some of the omissions
from the list of stocks affected as much as for those that showed conspicuous
ctrength. Reading and the Hill stocks were fed out in about equal propor
tions today and all timed so that the movement of these stocks was restricted,
notwithstanding a continuance of a share of activity in them. These were
stocks which have been features of speculation and the realizing of speculative
profits in them with the opportunity offered by the sustaining effects of the
new points of strength was obvious. The points of strength were developed
in rotation, one stock or group being advanced for a time, then falling back.
This is the favorite method of operations of the professional class. Much
stress was laid on the sale of New Central equipment trust notes, for which
J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. have invited bids for $30,000,000, -running from one
to 14 years. Reports point to a rapid allotment of these securities to bankers
and dealers, but the demand from investors was not £0 much dwelt on,
although the notes are being offered to yield 5*4 to s}& per cent. But the
.ready allotment said to be found for them was seized upon as a sign of im
provement in the tendency of capital to move into investment. New York
Central itself led the day's advance in the stock market. Reports of tardi
ness in making payment to equipment companies by some of the leading
companies of the. country, have been a depressing factor in Wall street ever
since the Westinghouse electric company receivership, and a ready sale for
Equipment trust notes may be regarded as affording assurances to these com
panies against embarrassment through delayed collections. This was the
avowed ground for the brisk recovery in some of the railroad equipment
stocks. Less attention was paid to returns of gross earnings of railroads
which showed some heavy decreases from the amount of last year's corre
sponding earnings. Details of projected economies of railroad companies
by reduction of working forces and cutting down of salaries of executive
officers were considered of less importance as indicating the outlook than was
the money market future. There was a pronounced recession in the rate of
interest for time loans caused by larger offerings and also by a decrease in
demand for this form of loan. The reflux of funds to the reserve centers
seems to be on so large a scale that no misgivings are entertained of the
effect of treasury of government deposits from the national
banks or the other possible requirements. While the market had an irregular
appearance nearly all the time the process of lifting prices had traversed
pretty much the whole list by the end of the day and the closing tone was
distinctly strong.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,252,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

advance quotations was. general. .
Butter prices were no more than steady today.
Heavy .rains last night and conditions some
what favorable : to continued fall of moisture

Butter. Cheese and Eke*
Continued light arrivals and a »brisk demand
sent prices for all grades of fresh eggs np le a
dozen yesterday and the market ruled very linn
at the advance, being practically bare of the up
per grades at the dose. The situation in Unr
age goods wa» just the reverse of that In fresn
stock, the weakness of the Los * Angeles and
western markets being reflected here, and deal
ers who were ctfirying large stocks in storage
were anxious to sell and get from under. Local
storage extras had another, slight decline, being
quoted weak at 24 %c a dozen.
Strictly fine fresh butter continues to find a
satisfactory market and cleans up readily at full
figures - from day to day. Oregon has ceased
bhipplDtr to this market and the receipts from
Humboldt county are steadily falling off. while
the production in nearby districts has not in
creased sufficiently to offset the decrease in the
north as yet. The firmness in this market is
confined -to extras, all of the under grades being
weak, with much poor stock arriTing. There Is
nothing new to report in cheese.
. The only j transaction on the exchange was a
sale of fixe cases of fresh extra eggs at the
quotation, business in the other articles being
confined to bids and asks, with buyers and sell
ers apart In their views.
Receipts were 37.100 lbs butter. 13,200 lbs
cheese and 590 cases eggs.
The following are official quotations as es
tablished by sales, bids and offers on the floor of
the dairy exchange. Prices on the street, while
governed by the exchange quotations, generally
range from l%e to 2c higher, owing to the vari
ous charges to be added:

Deciduous and Cltrna Prulta
Four more cars of oranges reached the market
yesterday, making 25 cars thus far this week.
The demand is still limited, and with weather
conditions against trade the market remain*
very weak and it Is impossible for receivers to
effect clearances, although they stand ready to
meet buyers half way and make concessions , to
purchasers of round lots. Almost every house la
the commission district has a largo stock of
oranges on hand and there is also an abundance
of the other citrus fruits, which ar« moving
slowly. There is a fair market for strictly
fancy apples, but there Is very little trading In
the medium and strictly fancy grades, which
constitute the bulk of the supplies la cold stor
age. It having developed that th» supply of
strictly high grade apples In th« Icehouses Is
light, holders of this class of goods are firmer
In their views than heretofore, but have not ad
vanced prices as yet.' The strawberries that ar
rived from Los Angeles on Monday were mar
keted yesterday, selling at $3@4 per crate of 30

whole line actively dealt la, as will be seen by
the list of sales. The rise la these stocks lately
has been pronounced.
The southern Nevadas continued quiet and fea
tureless, but the tone was strong and the lead
ers were generally somewhat higher on the day.
Bonds continued the feature on the stock and
bond exchange, and quite an assortment wus
dealt in. This is taken as a sign of the restora
tion of good money conditions, as the buying la
much stronger than ,the selling. Shares wetu
quiet, but they also exhibited good tone, witli
better prices for *i**yi Packers, Associated Oil
and Onomea Sugar.
