Drooping: Trndcnpy of Prp Ik Ton
Muuli to (Mercoille,
NKW YORK. Keb. 1?. The drooping ten
dency of prices proved too much to bo over
come nrd the majority of stocks show net
losses on the dny. In the stnndnrd stocks
the loses are small, but the decline from
th eatly high range was considerable. The
oKhlng was above lt night's level in
sympathy with London, but even In the
Initial transactions the weakness of tho
local traction stocks and of Pacific .Mall
served to unsettle the market. Prices
sagged pretty steadily from that time until
the bear operators nmong the room tinders
started lo cover their short contracts In tho
Until dealings. This rallied the level of the
market from the l"West, but the movement
was listless nnd entirely without force.
t.ondoti was not encouraged by Its good
news from South Africa to buy slocks hero
and In fact prlres sagged In the home mar
ket. Con Is lost all of their enrly gnln, sup
posedly on the Immlmeiice of a neiv Issue.
Hut London was disposed to take prollts at
all points, even Tlnnd mines showing n
sharp reacthn from the early advance.
Trmre wis no oeraslin for surprise, there
fore, that the locitl market failed to hold
tho advance on the South African news.
The hears had not as much ammunition In
the shapo of tho weakness of special stocks
as they had yesterday, but the general tono
of the market was nevertheless reactionary.
Th bears made Inroads upon Pnclllc Mall
and United States Rubber, but otherwlo
no very wide breaches were made In al
lies. The local traction stocks were In. Mm 1
to rally with the ccssatlin of pressure
agnlnst Third Avenue. Sugar was erratic
during the early par' of tne day, but be
came, firmer toward the clo". with con
siderable effect on tho general list.
The general public maintaining its atti
tude or apathy was the main entice of the
heaviness. Probably some vague nneasineis
Is beginning to be roll also regarding the
winter wheat crop, because the ground Is
hare of snow, leaving It exposed to the cold.
Traders wcif disposed to discount an un
favorable bank statement, altaiiugh money
on call was In free supply at 2 per cent for
the greater pan of the dny. The record
shows however, that tho banks have lost
on subtreasury operations !2.130,0(M. Ac
cording to reports from the leading banks
shipments of money by express this week
ure nearly II.PiiO.OOO greater than last week,
whllo the receipts from the Interior by ex
press have fnllen off considerably over
II.OOO.O.U This would Indicate a net loss mi
the Interior movement of nearly Il.OOAroo,
bringing the total loss Including FUbtreasury
operations, over $3,ouO.(mO. It is known that
some gold has been received from Canada
which does not figure In this estimate.
There hns 'been a continued absorption of
money Into mercantile paper nnd other
forms of loans In the course of active busi
ness, so that n further extension of tho
loan Item Is looked ror. A Inrgc encroach
ment upon surplus reserves therefore,
seems unavoidable. Sterling exchange burd
ened a fraction In response to the higher
discount rntes In London. The declaration
of the llrst dividend on the new preferted
stock or tho Baltimore &. Ohio was fully
expected and was without Inllueuco on tho
market.
There was a good absorption of noma
dormant railroad bonds at advancing prices,
but changes generally were Irregular. There
wns quite an active market for government
bonds, presumably on account of the pas
spge of the refunding bill by tho senate.
Total sales or railroad bonds, par value,
$2,025,000. t'nlted States new 4s ndvancc4 ',.
while the old Is declined ' In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
llnnnclal cablecram says: The news of the
relief of Klmberley cnused a booming open
ing In the markets hero today. DeMccrs ris
ing l'. IlUHlness. however, was most
meager, provincial orders Delng stopped liy
serious interruptions In the telegra:ihlc
service, nnd prices gradually dropped. Lord
Rosebcry's. speech in Parliament yesterday
Induced apprehensions In some quarters of
Impending foreign complications. Consols,
which began at 101'i, were pressed down by
heavy cash sales to 10oi and thev closed nt
only better. The selling of consols was
supposed to be In anticipation of the finan
cial statement to be mndo by tne chancellor
of the exchequer next 'Monday. Americans
began $1 up, but in the absence of New
York support slipped away steadily to tho
close. The trading In tills department to
day was the dullest we have Had for years.
'Money was nominally unchanged, but there
whs nn easier tendency and u few bills wcro
offered. The bank lost 200,000 gold, engnged
for shipment to the. Cape. The Copper hx
change's fortnightly statistics show stocks
unchanged and .supplies Increased bv 1,40)
Ions. The Hank of Hombay has reduced Its
minimum discount rnle from i) to 8 per cent.

CATTLH Aside from a dozen loads of
cnttlo from Kansas City, tho cattle In the
yards today were nil on sole, so that there
wns qultn a .showing or fat cattle. The
market ns a whole did not show much
chnngo ns compared with yesterday, tho
general trade being about steady im all
kinds.
Thu demand for cornfed cattle was good
this morning, but buyers were not Inclined
to bid price up any. On the contrary the
market opened a little slow nnd In some
cases buyer' offers were If anything ensier
thnt yesterday. Still there was a suf
ficient demand to hold the mnrket pretty
dole to steady, nnd there wns not enough
chnngp In nny direction to quote. Mayers
reported n gondi many ordinary cnttlo
among the offerings nnd very few thnt
could hp called uood.
Thero was about the usual demand for
cows nnd heifers, but buyerr showed somo
disposition 'o bo n little benrlsh on the
common nun medium grade nnd in snots
tho market wns n little ensier. However,
the chnngo In tho market as n whole was
hardly Important enough to quote nnd It
would huve to bo cnlled about n steady
mf.rket.
Blockers nnd feeders were In moderate
supply nnd no Important changes occurred
In the market. One bunch of mixed cat
tle ranging from calves to two-year-olds
mid n 15.10, which looked like a good
strone price. Representntlvp snles:
