It is believed the Bank of 4 e preferred 6. The bears England 1s taking steps to reduce the floating supply, but this probably will prove a difficult undertaking with such a plethora. Discounts were steady. Outside of the American depart- ment the operations on the stock ex- change were featureless, the approach of the settlement restricting transactions. Americans opened dull, reacted, hardened, fluctuated and closed weak and irregular with some further declines. After regular hours there was a great disposition toward profit taking. Grand Trunks were lower, the traffic return being less favorable than had been expected, this be- ing attributed to the inclusion of Western re- celpts NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were slack and idle to-day and there was evidence that Interest is pass- ing from American securities to those of the home market. Americans began heavy and after displaying a hardening tendency, broke sharply on reports of the New York opening prices, St. Paul fall- ing § points in five minutes. Erles and North- ern Pacifics were also adversely affected, the last mentioned being sold from Berlin on pri- vate cables, intimating that the Hill deal 1s not going quite as was expected. The close was flat and disheartening. Discounts were higher, affected by yester- day’s rise in Parls, while the bank began bor- rowing on consols. Money, however, was plen- titul, although the bank returns showed re- pyaments by the market of £3,500,000. These, however, were absorbed by money returning to the provinces, leaving the market balances unimproved. % | CLOSING.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. All descriptions of Butter are lower and the market is depressed, as the stock on hand is much larger than at this time last year, and increasing. It was said a fortnight ago that when creamery got down to 25c outside orders would appear and clean up the market, but the market is even below that figure, and there are no orders of any consequence in sight yet. Eggs are also lower and weak, with ample supplies. Cheese is the only line under this head that keeps up, and it is none too firm. Receipts as reported by the Dairy Exchange were 36,900 lbs Butter, 518 cases California Eggs, — cases Eastern Eggs, 14,550 1bs CIH-1 fornia Cheese and —— lbs Eastern Cheese.
