NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—There was very little character to to-day’s stock market, as is suf- ficlently indicated by the volume of dealings, which fell to about the balf-million share mark. The subsidence of the. recent furious | activity in the trading in Erfe left little to the market. This sudden subsidence had a good | deal to do with the feeling of suspicion which | repressed the dealings in stocks. Yesterday's | transactions in Erie of over 200,000 shares at a net change for the day of a half point the traders as not consistent with the competitive buying of ‘the stock for This suspicion was reinforced by the | After a he: -tion of the stock this morning. momentary advance of a small fraction, ice fell back to below last night in a w | that suggested the realization of speculative | profits. “Explanation for the shifting of the buying to the preferred stocks, which wers control of the property was really being acquired through the preferred stocks, but the higher prices in comparison of these stocks | and the comparative small volume of their total outstanding issue did not command this view to the traders. The continued realizing in Reading also created a bad impression upon not diesiated by the marking up to-day of Ontario and Western in the anthracite group and the advance in Chesapeake and Ohio and Hocking Valley i the soft coalers. Rock | 1sland and St. Paul continued heavy, with im- portant sentimental effect upon the rest of the list. The result was a narrow and sluggish special causes. that effective opposition was developing to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Amalgamated Copper moved up on the dividend declaration and in sympathy with the rally in the market for the metal. The rise in Missouri Pacific was accompanied by rumors that the plan for the financial adjustment of the Gould | rallroad properties was about ready to be put into cperation. There was no disquieting element in the | money situation, unless.it might be.taken that | the k of England is disposed to build up its | reserves and maintain the money rate. The considerable decrease in its holdings of Gov- ernment securities seems to point_to borrowing. | from the market to decrease . Whether | this is a measure of protection the de- mand for gold from Paris or is" inary to an attempt 10 attract foreign to its own vaults does not appear yet. The advance in | the official discount rates of the banks of Bom- bay and Bengal is significant of the hardening tendency of the English money markete. The | Bank of France aiso continues to lose gold, | while demands upon it for credits continue | heavy, both by note expansion and increase of | loans.” New York banks continue to gain cash, but the gains from the Sub-Treasury are duc | to heavy payments on Government contracts and for pensions. which are made in bulk in | New York, but ich are now about complete. | Time money rates- were revorted rather firmer. | None of the upward movements were well maintained and the closing was dull and easy at_about the low level of the day.

Poultry and Game. There was no Western live Poultry received, but g car is close at hand and will be mar- keted to-day. Receipts of domestic live were light, but the market was weaker for chick- ens. Retailers complained that the public | demand was light and purchased but little in | consequence. Receipts of _dressed Turkeys were 33 cases. These met with a steady in- guiry and some fan€y"stock sold as high as 24c, but in a small way. Game Is still com. re. more | than sufficlent for requirements.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. Centinued cold weather keeps Butter firm, and the market is characterized by moderate stocks 2nd a very fair demand, though a change in the weather would probably cause a corresponding change In the situation. Cheese rules steady at unchanged prices. Supplies and receipts are moderatg, and quite ‘within the compass of the market. - Fine ranch Eggs are In ample supply and barely steady, but the medium and lower grades are firm, though the expected arrival | of several cars of Western is expected to weak- en these descriptions.
