EASTERN MARKETS, NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—The strength of to- | day's stock market was confined to spots and the general tendency continued toward a lower plane in realizing sales. Pressure by the bear | traders was marked and the outside support | offered by the buying orders through commis- | sion houses was considerably less. There was | a strong tone in a few Individual stocks and advances in others were brought about by manipulation. London also bought some se- curities here. All causes combined, howev did not avail to matnlain prices in the genfl?; loss and the average level of the market sagged to a lower basts. The most conspicuous move- ment of the d was in Great Northern pre- ferred, which added § points to its recent up- d Course, making its gain thus far for the week 2 polnts. The supply of this stock i the street at any time is exceedingly light, and urgent derhand for even a small volume raises the price very quickly. The methods of opera: tion on this road and its financial relations to its subsidiary companies make the stock at- tractive at any time on the general possibility of the readjustment of relations, and the ad- vance this week gives strong reasons far suy- posing the general possibilities are shaping i concrete form. There was nothing in the news of the day to warrant a statement as to what that concrete form may be. Over 3000 shares | changed hands during the day. Coalers were | favorably affected as a group by the prevail: | ing cold weather, but they failed to hold their | gain. Sugar also ruled above yesterday's clos- ing prices. Other exceptions fo the prevailing ‘weakness might be named, but they were not | conspicuous, and none held all their advance, | Union Pacific preferred was very largely dealt in and rose sharply over last night's close. but fell below before the close. e activity of the markets showed a considerable falling off from recently prevailing averages. The activity in the bond market was much better sustafned than in stocks, and prices were better held, the general level being higher and some sharp gains being scored. Total sales, $5,610,000. Government bonds were strong all around. United States 2s advanced 3, the new 4s, the fm and the old 4s registered %, and the old 4s coupon % bid. Total sales of stocks to-day were 309,000 shares, including: Baltimore and Ohlo, 27,480; Chesapeake and Ohio, 4%1; Burlington, 4604 Great Northern preferred, $143; Loulsvilie and N~abville, 7267; | for miners’ and smelters' quotes lead at 33 45 | ence, Central, 4700; Hawallan, 3785; Reading pre- ferred, 20,879; Missouri Pacific, 7870; New Jer- | sey Central, '3209; New York Central, 403: North American, 6500; Northern Pacific, 652 Northern_Pacific_preferred, 31.410; ~Reading, 9310; St. Paul, §228; Union Pacific, 13,63: Peo- ple's Gas, 8785; Consolidated Gas, 3300; Sugar, 0,183, k.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—The Evening Post's | London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were irregular and dull to-day, the reaction being most marked in all stocks recently affected by Klondike influences. There was a sharp falling in Grand Trunk, good traffic returns being offset by a report of a | pending rupture with the Canadian Pacific. Foreign stocks were good on Paris buying, and mines were better for the same reason. The general tendency here at the moment s to se- cure profits on Americans, but there is a firm undertone.

May opened %@%c lower at $%c, and in the course of the next hour had got down to M%c. Liverpool started the decline. That market opened weak at %d decline for futures, and at 1:30 p. m. showed a further %d loss. There was other bearish news in abundance. A Buenos Ayres cable sald the crop in the Santa Fe district of A gentine was immense and of fine quality. Pri- mary recelpts were almost double those of last year, the total being 43,000 bushels, against 282,000 a year ago. About Il o'clock there. was an improvement in the market. The decline was stopped by buying against pri leges, which were bought heavily on the mild, steady; Cor- te | Wednesday curb, though there was no such rebound as was looked for. 94%c, where it held for a short time, then commenced to sag again. About noon the market again developed strength. Short sell- ing had become too popular and the market had become somewhat oversold in conse- quence. Brokers for the Leiter crowd appear- ed in the pit, and their buying started an ad- vance that carried the price within a few minutes to %%c. The corn market became very strong about that time and lent its {nflu- as did the Atlantic port clearances, which amounted to the liberal total of 522,000 bushéls. During this rally the only real a tivity of the session was exhibited, the over- s0ld condition of the market maki; rush of shorts an easy matter. After the Leiter buy- ing was over, however, the market fell away again. The advance induced the putting forth of more and heavier quantitles on short ac- count, and this caused the final collapse ® in prices. This time May declined to 94%c.
