STOCKS AM ) IIOMJS. Lack of Iiitcrt-Ht In tli - "Murlii-t CIIIIHCN HciivlncNN nnil l.ovvtrr I'rlccx. NEW YORK , Feb. 2.-Heav _ Iness nnd dullness characterized the dealings on the Stock ex- changu throughout Ihe day , and prices Bagged In a dejected manner , apparently from total lack of Inteicit In the market. The day was without nny epeclal feature , except ai It was In contrast with the activity and buojancy of the latter part of last week nnd the compara tively large dealings of yesterday , The prm- clpnl dealings of llic day were In Northern 1'a clllc bliarcs , as has been the cnse for some time. The report that Ihe underwriting sindl- calo hud dlspofcd of a large block of tiock nnd olhcr Fccurllles of Hits company 1o German cnpllallkts , and Hint nn option 'for n further amount wn held by the tame purchasers , In duced the selling of Ihe piefencd stuck down Hi per cent to 3754. Some support vvns devel oped ut the lower flgiuc und the decline was checked , followed by u rally of a fractional amount. Rut In the final half hour the piefened stock declined again nnd doted at 37H , the lowest figure of the day. In addition to the weakness In Northern I'aclllo thcie were Eomo special causes which led to the declines In a number of the high-priced specialties. The most notable example of this factor In the dnv's situation wait Wontein Union , which sold off n point nnd a half on fears ns to the effect of the Indiana stale law taxing telegraph companies , whose con- Btllullomillly wns continued by Ihe ( supreme court > eBlcrduy. Tobacco also afforded a lever age for the decline through Us falling off or > i per cent on apprehension of the thieatcned lltlgnllon ngnlnat the trunt. Sugar- was told on Washington rumors of Impending tnria leglsla- tlon which would affect ihe dirferpnllnl In the tariff on raw and refined sugar , lluillngton vvns a depressing factor nnd fell off on lioston selling nnd un apprehension of nn unfavor able December statement. 'J'lip decline In those slocks , duo to vpcclnl cauec-s , threw something of a damper on the market nnd encouraged an attack nil along the line , The consequence vvns thai prices showed n tendency to decline and the professional traders In Northern I'n clllo nnd tlio other stocks affected , hastened tfi lake profits on their holdings. Tlio heavy decline In New York. New Haven & Hartford was n feature of the day , the ex treme decline registered breaking 17 points to ICO , with n subsequent recovery of 4 points. The decline wn nttrlbuled to fears of a reduction of the dividend to be shown by the forthcoming quarterly It-port , The anthra cite coal stocks moved In common win the general - eral list , the range being loss marked than heretofore , Illinois Steel was n sufferer by n decline of 2 points on the loss favorable situation of the trade. In iplte of the general nagging tendency of the market there were substantial gains In Mime of the gilt-edged becuiltles , hewIng - Ing a icnewal of Investment purchases nnd a good supply of money for Ute. Ixmdon opera tions were fairly large mainly for the short account , Tianractlons In bonds were on a smaller scale , prices yielding In sympathy with : be stock mm lift. Round amounts , however , of ° r th ° The bond market displayed n reactionary ten- lency on realization by the traders , the deal ings being largely centered In the speculative usueu. Inegularlty was noted at Interval * . The ostes were restricted to fraction. . The sales were $2,3,6000.
