EASTERN MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Feb. 17. — Dullness and depression overhung the stock
market today. The active operations which prompted . price declines were
largely at the hands of professionals of the room trading class. The senti
ment which prompted their attitude was, however, quite generally prevalent
and was a fair reflection on the unfavorable interpretation placed on the
immediate events in the financial district and the lack of hopefulness of early
betterment. Much had been hoped from the successful sale of the New
York city bonds as a stimulating force in the securities market. Today con
firmed the impression of Saturday that the event has fallen flat. The im
pression was heightened by the action of the bonds themselves, which are
dealt "when issued" at the stock exchange. The.price reacted more than a
point from the first quotations in the new securities made on Saturday and
the older issue of city bonds fell back in company. There" were some spe
cial incidents in the day's happenings which had a disturbing effect on spec
ulative sentiment. New force was given to the fear of the ; government's
prosecution of- the Harriman railroad group by the steps taken against the
Southern Pacific for rebating offenses. The copper securities, including
American Smelting, wete under special pressure in connection with anotner
sharp decline in the price of copper both here and in London, and Ameri
can Smelting touched a new low level for the year. Gloomy reports were
current of the copper trade outlook. Discussion of the trade outlook in
general took the form of some criticism of the tendency of the great trade
combinations, especially in steel, to hold up prices, the question* being
raised whether revival of consumptive demand would not thereby be de
ferred and the depression prolonged. The report of the net earnings of
the Erie for the December quarter, showing the previous year's surplus con
verted into a heavy deficit, explained the past weakness in the securities of
that company. Railroad traffic officials in their usual weekly statement of
views for publication were not reported in the cheerful strain over the
present state of affairs of traffic or the promise for the immediate future.
The apparent check to the inflow of banking funds from the interior evi
denced by the last two bank statements is arousing some discussion and
seems to negative the assumptions held at one time as to the extent to which
reserves would pile up in New York after the panic had subsided. The re
plenishment of the deficit of reserves here, the withdrawal of government
deposits by the United States treasury and the rapid rate of retirement of
national bank notes have helped to take up the slack as the return tide
flowed in, but no gold has gone out in export. The foreign trade state
ment for January shows, in fact, that the excess value of exports of mer
chandise reached a total of upward of $120,000,000, thus exceeding even the
record $115,000,000 shown in December. The sustained control of the
international exchanges held by New York is thus explained. Some of the
day's depression came from foreign influences. The Macedonian question,
an" important failure of a Scotch engineering firm and professed apprehen
sion over the relations between the United States and Japan were among
these. • '\u25a0"/
Vv> Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,352,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Ken York Cotton' Market
NEW YORK. Feb. 17.'— Button's wire says:
"On better ' cables 7 than looked for '\u25a0'- the . local
market opened steady at' 2to 7 points advance,
with the trading fairly active at times. There
was some short covering : among the smaller
shorts, but the lsrse- ones fought all advances.
There was very little bull support. Movement
continues extremely J light and in the interior
tbe receipts are almost ; nothing. The local
crowd are. all bearish, but any buying might
give us a good reaction. " - ;
"The disposition now: is, to ignore everything
bullish. : The crowd is almost positive , they
will force the . south to sell their Bpot cotton,
but reports from the interior claim , they are
offering ) nothing at the decline. There is very
little long interest in the market and it is full
of Khorts .md when the latter., start to cover
there is \u25a0 likely to be a " sharp upturn. The
week's . figures : were the most bullish of the
season and reports from the mills and the goods
market were encouraging. - Since the Mississippi
legislature passed: tbe.antioptlon. bill tbe whole
sonth seems to have \u25a0 turned \u25a0 bearish and what
orders were received from the belt were ' gener
ally to sell." . \u25a0

Butter, Cheese and Ksgs
.The sudden rise in eggs, which was caused by
a temporary: scarcity ,of supplies on* Saturday,
proved ; more than the market could stand, and.
as ; was ; expected. i a run of * heavy receipts over
Sunday *• caused a reaction ' yesterday. Price*
tumbled as quickly aa they went up. the market
being from lc to 3%c a dozen lower, the great
est decline being ', in extras, which were quoted
at 21 %c. ; : While: the low prices stimulated th«
demand to some extent, the market was far from
being * cleaned up , at : the close, as there were
some liberal consignments received after the ex
change session. ."..-'
\u25a0 Prices for butter were unchanged, the market
being In good shape for, sellers. - with both fresh
and : storage ' goods selling off well. Receipts of
fresh were quite large. I but dealers seemed to be
expecting . shipping - orders - from the north and
were \u25a0 accordingly averse to cutting prices. The
cheese , market was^weak for everything except
.Young Americas and there was .no scarcity of
them.
' •\u25a0' The*, following sales were made on the ex
change:j*TK; . .
Eggs— -10 cases of fresh extras at 22c and 20
at 21% c per dozen. .
.Cheese — 25 fancy new California flats at 12%<?
and 25 New York storage fiats at 17 %c a pound.
Receipts were 33,100 pennds butter, 3,000
pounds cheese and 914 cases eggs.
The following are official quotations as estab
lished by sales, bids ; and offers on the floor of

.Deciduous and Citrus Fruit*
' Twenty-two cars of navel oranges came to
hand over Sunday, and with fully half . that
quantity held over from last week the market
| was overstocked and weak, though the demand
showed considerable Improvement under tae
stimulus of the sunny weather. Daring the pre
ceding week "40 cars were received, so that the
total arrivals for about eight days were 62 cars.
No one was quoting the previous high price
of $2.25 a box and there were few sales of any
thing, even the most favored brands, reported
above - $1.75. A mixed \u25a0 car. of tangerines and
fcr&pefruit came in and met with a fair Inquiry
at the old quotations. Lemons were moderately
active -at 'unchanged rates, while limes were
I marked up \u25a0$1 a case. Apples and pears con-

THE STOCK MARKET
Both Corns tocks and Southern >evada'
Suffer Front Sharp \u25a0 Bear Raids
The first day of the week made a poor show
in? all around yesterday. There was hardly
any ' business in local securities on the 'stock and
bond exchange and there were no variations
worthy of note. .
The Comstocks were attacked by heavy and
i persistent selling, which forced down the lead
iers almost without exception. Ophir closed at
i $3.10 against $3.27 on Saturday, under lars*
I transactions. Mexican closed at $1.30. against
$1.43. Union at 49c. against 53c. Sierra Nevada
at 49c. against 53c, and so on. The bulls made
a vigorous resistance, in the early part of the
informal session and succeeded in elevating the
\u25a0market materially, bat sellers proved too much
for them, and the market went off toward the
end and closed weak at the decline.
The Goldfields continued quiet and weak,
with no features calling for notice. Gol.lflel.l
Consolidated closed at $4.52. against $4.70 on
Saturday, and Florence at $3.95, against $4.H>.
Belmont was also very weak and closed at
$1.22, against $1.37. »
Late assessments are: Inverness land and
water company. 75c. delinquent March 20; the
John Brenner company. . $10. Marcn IS.
Standard oil has declared a dividend of
$13 for ; the quarter during the last three years.
The company has declared one of $13 for this
quarter. In 1904 it was $16 and in 1903 and
1902 it was $20. The dividend U payable March
14 to stock of record February 20.
