dull and narrow, closing a shade lower
Oats also experienced a decline' of a
Shade, while provisions at the slose were

Corn was the largest market that has
ceen . experienced recently. Buying was
general, while most of the offerings came

NEW YORK, ; Feb. Is,^rices.in"stocks
made a good recovery iiv^the latter part
of today's trading urufe|r,tthe aggressive
leadership of Burlingt>iii; New YorK
Central and Delaware ' & Hudson. As a
result ' the " majority -of stocks show net
gains, but the most of these are small
During the greater p.art of the day the
market was distinctly .reactionary and
drifted- downward 1 whenever uny con
siderable offerings came ? upon the mar
ket. The spots of strength . here and
there among the more obscure stocks did
not sustain prices.. in ; the general list-
London's buying of Americans served
only as a temporary prop, although the
opening advances extended to about a
point in several of the- international
stocks. : A further violent break in the
■smelting stocks, which carried the com
mon down 2% and the preferred 2," was
the-first ■ development to. seriously . un
dermine .the market. The metal stocKs
were all affected in sympathy, and the
losses in the steel stocks ran up to 2
points. New York Central was one of
the early points of strength, and Dela
ware & Hudson was also firm through
out, but the market did not respond to
this until supplemented by the late
movement in the grangers. The absorp
tion of .Burlington was,, very heavy, and
it was carried up by rapid stages Mi
points from the lowest, establishing a
net gain of 4%. r There was no news to
explain the spurt in this stock, but' it
was supposed to be concerned with de
velopments looking to a transcontinental
outlet for Burlington. The grangers im
proved about 2 points, or. better in sym
pathy. There were strong recoveries in
Brooklyn Transit and. .Sugar, which,
however, left them only small net gains!
owing to their early, weakness. The gen
eral list was at one time a point or more
below last night's level for the prin
cipal active stocks. The late rally: was
not by any means universal, but many
prominent stocks were lifted from their
early depression. New^ork Central's
rise of 2% and Delawftr«o& Hudson's of
10 points apparently 4ml- some connec
tion, although what it was v.as r>3{ rH-5
closed. Among the notable mo 1. >■;:. i
of usually obscure stoe?csi may be men
tioned a rise of 10 pt>Jn§s in • American
Express, 7% in EvansVttlel& Terre Ta"ute
4 for the preferred, 8 for the new North
American stock and 2^ v jfor the old 4
for Texas and Pacific j.land trust 6 for
General Electric, with.a reaction of 3%
3% for Wheeling. & fl^a^e Erie second
preferred and 3 for Pullman and Minne
apolis & St. Louis, theSl4tter reacting 2.
Apparently the suspense of the con
tinued negotiations ov«r 'the great steel
merger and uneasiness-over the money
outlook were the influential factors in
repressing speculativejac.Mvity. A decline
in the call money r^t£ to 1% per cent
at the close had somfjtihtpg to do with
the final rally. The ease of money belied
the forecast of the bank statement,
which indicates a weaKHurn; but with"
large receipts of customs, and the pay
ment of nearly $3,ooo,<X)o'on account of a
Central Pacific note, the- subtreasury has
taken from the banks thus far this week
$3,350,000 in spite of the high level of
pension disbursements . reached during
the week. The banks have continued to
receive currency from the interior, part
ly in* the shape of gold from San Fran
cisco by registered mail. The amount is
estimated at over $25,000,000. It will be
seen that this indicates a cash loss of
between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. The loan
item, however, is of principal interest.
There have been additional-"-large • de
mands for railroad -finances during the
week, and general supposition- is that a
payment of something v like $25,000,00.) has
been made to Mr,,. Carnegie, on. the steel
deal which will figure.jln the loan item.
The softness of the money market this
afternoon .may. be the prelude to a sur
priee in tomorrow',s ; bank -statement. '
The activity of the bond market declin
ed in sympathy with stocks and prices
moved irregularly. Total, sales. par
value. $394,000. United ..States refunding
2s advanced % per cent and the 33 H
per cent, on the ; last call. ..

CATTLE—The stock and feeding cattlo
j situation may be sized up in a very few
words. Good quality stuff of all kinds
is moving well at good prices, while the
j common stuff is dragging badly and is
j hard to sell even at low prices. We flg
| ure that feeders are selling a little lower
i than on the first two days of the week
I when everything was brisk and active.
j The demand has been good all week for
j good quality heifers. Common and off
j colored little cattle are hardest to
! move. Good butcher stuff of all kinds
I is selling at steady prices and is In good
j demand. Half-fat steers are selling slow
i at slightly lower prices, while canner cows
j are fully 25 cents lower than
j last week. Butcher bulls steady and
i at-tive. Veals strong to 25 cents higher
; and in good demand. Best milch cows
j are selling well at steady prices. Com
mon animals are unsalable.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York.
Feb. 15.—The Commercial Advertiser's
London financial cablegram says: The
■stock market here was heavy at the
"opening today, firm at the close. The
strength was* attributed to the impres
sion that the end of the war in South
Africa is near, Gen. Kitchener's charac
teristic silence when in touch with the
enemy, being regarded as significant.
American shares were much quieter, but
hard and scarce. "On the curb, after the
close of the market, there was a .sharp
demand for Atehlson issues and New
! York Central. Berlin is buying Norfolk &
' Western. The bank has bought £7.000
I more of gold In bars and there is half
j a million now on the way from Russia,
j which it is expected, the bank will get.
j Money was much in demand. The rate
was from 4% per cent for call loans to
! 3% per cent to 6 per cent for time. A
j good many loans were renewed by th,e
bank. Bills were easy on Paris competi
tion. Silver had an artificial spurt on
speculative buying.
