That stock strengt] ened somewhat after the London selling had ceased and was practically about the only issue which did not have a bull following.

On the other hand there were points of renewed strength and the market closed very animated and irregular. Important advances were made in many prom- inent bonds to-day and exceptional gains were made of 6% and 7 points, respectively, in ria and Eastern incomes and Central of Georzia | firsc [ibcomes. The aggregate “trancactions footed up the exceptional figure of $7,295,000. United States 3s coupon declined % per cent on the last call. The stock market this week has been largely in the hands of professional traders of abundant resources, general demand from . the outside public for stocks has been rather languid the professionals bave been able to manipulate prices at will. The contest thus involved of skill and alertness on the floor of the Stock Exchange has caused an erratic and irregular market and consider- able show of activity, but it js doubtful whether there has been much actual transfer of stock ownership. Circumstances indicate that in more than one case the advance in the price of a stock had | been part of & plan to frustrate an intended | purchase for control. It is the belief in Wall street that such plans are held in abeyance on | { mccount of the level of prices which has been present attained in the stock market and | | would be tenaclously followed up at a most fa- | vorable opportunity, although the officlally sanctioned assertion that the St. Paul deal was off _somewhat chilled this confidence, the later announcement of the proposition for | transter of control of Mobiie and Ohlo to the Southern Raliway revived that confidence, as it indicated the continued pursuit of plans of con- occa- Satur- | Peo- | and while the | solidation and the transfusion of ownership of | rallroad properties by the same financier who | | hns been the moving spirit in the attempted Northwestern amalgamation and In the anthra. cite field. The strength showed by -the st stocks in the face of the week’s developm has somewhat allaved the recent wuneasife over the future of the propertics represented by | | these stocks.

Cold and stormy weather has unquestionably stimulated retail business in boots, shoes, rubber goods and clothing, and this has aided in lightening the stocks carried by retallers as a result of mild weather here- tofore. More has been doing. too, in wholesale lines on spring account, and business in this respect is classed as fair. Re are rela- tively best from the West llld Bau(h. from which sections advices are that the total Janu- ary business compares well with a year ago. The contrary is reported from leading Eastern markets, however, and the aggregate done here has mot by far equaled expectations. Trade collections a8 a whole are fair, the only com- plaint coming from sectlons where mild weather has Interfered with the distribution of heavy goods. TFoundry pigiron is lower at all leading markets, but on the other hand Besse- mer is rather firmer, while steel billets actu- ally sell for 25 cents more per ton, and there 1s tlll( of an advance of $1 per ton.

TNRARAL LN M LR NEW YORK, Feb. 1—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: The week In general bustess has been withs out striking new feature, but in this respect the outcome hi been favorable. Not one of the great . industries finds any scarcity of orders for goods, and business is done at rospect Further gold | armor plate contract may not go to an Amerl- can, although his terms were the best. A’ sudden increase in sales of wool at the three chief Eastern markets to 5,412,000 pounds, against 2,893,400 poands in ‘the previous week. does not” appear significant. After such an unusually dull season some recovery was in order. For. five weeks sales were 18,687,700 against 2,574,930 pounds in the same 1898, which was the smallest aggre- gate In five years. These figures indicate pres- ent conditions in this industry. FEven the small operations were only accepted at a fur- ther reduction in quotations, the average mow being the lowest since June, 1899. Interior holders are stubbornly refusing to accept pres- ent prices. Heavyweight suitings were opened at the expected reduction, and another week of the London auction sales is not expeetéd to have any effect. — % ‘N ew York Grain and Produce.
