McADIE, Forécast Official. e ONS AND GENERAL sory mes- EASTERN MARKETS. — New York Stock Marict. | Chicago | Hocking valle | Texas & Pacific . NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—To-day’s stock mar- ket was similar in character to that of Tues- 42y, but showed a disposition 1o realize profits where considerable advances had occurred. The buying and biading up of other stocks to make | fresh points of strength to cover the rcalizing Was in evidence, but rather less effective and was less persistently maiftained, the earlier gams being largely wiped out in the late reac- tien. The local tractions were under d:cided pressure, and notwithstanding the support ac- corded to them they exercised a depressing in- fluence on the rest of the market. The san was true of Amalgamated Copper, Whi sagged away under constant offerings without much evidence of support, closing with a net loss of 21, There was no news to account for the weakness. The depression of the Jocal tractions was, of course, Gue to the proposi- tion of the Brooklyn -Rapid Transit directors | to issue bonds 1o the extent of $150,000,000. The argument that this abundant capital would check the diversion of current earnings into the | betterments and extensions and would thus hasten the period of dividend disbursements apparently falled to reassure speculative senti- ment, and the open buying of the stocks by ineide interests was equally unavailing. The news of the proposed bond issue also upset the calculations of a coming merger of all the Greater New York transit faclities, which has been an instrument in the hands of the spec lators for some time past. The failure of the Metropolitan Street Raiflway's new financial plan, wheih was expected to-day, added to the feeling of doubt and distrust, although that stock itself was best supported of the group. There was no apparent cause for the reaction n prices in the news of the day, outside of his beyond the natural disposition to sell at 2 profit what had been bought at lower prices. | Reports of renewed rate-cutting among the Far Western railroads may have emphasized the desire to sell their stocks. The reports recelved of gross earnings for the first week in February also showed a prevalent tendency to decreases compared with last year. This was notably true of the Southwestern railroads, but there | was marked strength in that group led by Texas and Pacific, with a rise of 23 on inti- mation of very large earnings.

WHEAT—The forelgn markets were firm and Liverpocl futures were higher, Broom- hall cabled a good export business at Antwerp, and other English advices reported a Con: nental demand for cargoes. 3 Chicago was firm and slightly higher under the better foreign advices and reported dam- age to the crop in the Southwest. Kansas City wired that advices from all over Okla- homa reported a damage of 75 per cent, and in Kansas from 10 to 20 per cent, and that the largest exporters have bid stiff prices in the country daily, and have mot had an ac- ceptance of a single bushel thus far this month. St. Louis reported very heavy. buying, and the other domestic markets were higher. New York reported the export demand much im- proved, and fhat had not prices advanced there would have been a good export business duriag the day. The lack of offerings was another eiement of strength at Chicago, though predicted rain or snow caused a slightly easier feeling at one time. The seaboara advices ‘were less bearish than for a long time. The scalpers were all buyers. In this market futures advanced several cents, but fell back somewhat, as will be seen. Shipping wheat was also higher, but the country holders are generally refusing to let %o. The feeling is very firm. Spot Wheat—Shipping, §1.08%; milling, §1 10 @$1 12% per cfl.

In the language of the cir- cular, ‘‘The persons whom the California Title and Trust Company represents are prepared to pay, s a consideration for the option sought, quarterly dividends at the rate of $2 per shace per year, and to pay for the stock, if the op- tlons are called, $60 per share. In furtherance of the above, we beg to inform you that the sum of $50,000 has been deposited with the Bank of Californfa to provide for the first quarterly payment of 50c per share, provided that unless 66,000 shares shall be deposited before April 1, 1902, the California Title and Trust Company shall have the right of with- drawing the money deposited. No control of the stock deposited will be acquired by this company or the persons for whom it is act- ing, uniess the purchase price be paid. Re- ceipts will be Issued by the Bank of California, which will be negotiable. Stockholders are requested to sign an in- closed option and forward it to the Trust Com- pany and deposit their stock with the Banic of California. This circular caused a flurry in the stock, which advanced to $50 and fell back to $48 as agamst $45 25 as the closing price of the preceding day. Nobody seemed to know wha: was in the wind, and the brokers were agoui over the matter. 5 Otherwise there was nothing new in the mar- ket, though a very fair business was dome in the’ other stocks. There was increased trad- ing in the oil stocks, as will be seen below. In the afternoon Gas and Electric was weak- | er ‘at $48@47, but_Pacific Gas Improvement sold up to $30 and Pacific Light to $45. Giant Powder advanced to $79 and California Wine to $100.
