P New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Last week’'s depress- ing factors in the stock market were fortified fo-day by the engagement of $350,000 in gold for export. This was practically in line of the development in the stock market, which continued in its rule of dullness and profes- sionalism. Prices are generally lower on the dey, though not as low as they were during the session. The continued discussion of the affairs of the trolley syndicate and occasional changes in the plans of the adjustment com- mittes keep up the disturbing effect of that episode. The special heaviness of the Atchi- sons end of New York Central to-day was due to the dissatisfaction felt in the capital ex- pansion and new bond issue with prior claime over stocks. The news from the West of muck needed rain and snow in the winter wheat belt was without effect. Reports of threatened damage to winter wheat from lack of moist- ‘ure have geen offered as causes of some of the recent depression of rallroads stocks. Con- slderable interest attaches to the foreign sit- uation just at present owing to the signs of speculative revival abroad. It is évident that the long liquidation in Germany has now prog- ressed to a point where accumulated capital is becoming burdensome again, but the ardor of inquiry by German capitalists. seems 10 be directed toward their own public loans and, to some extent, to the revived Kaffir market in London. The London market is obviously discounting with greater faith than in a long time the end of the Boer war, but their in- terest in speculation also turns toward South African securities and toward home railways, which begin to show capitalists to embark in Kaffirs. toms suggest the inquiry whether the next re- vival of active speculation to forelgn markets and fe securities.
