NEW YORK STOCKS AMJ BOXDS. Market la Broad and at Times Moat Active, Thoogh Prices Blue Little. NEW YORK. Feb. 6. The aggregate dealings In stocks rose ta above three quarters of a million shares. The market was broad and at tlmea very active and also gave a general impression of strengtii and advancing prices. Thtt this impres sion was to Dome extent Illusory Is mani fest from the small and ragged showing of net gains for the day. hereus at one time a large number of lending active stocks were a point or more aoove lust night s closing. It will be seen that the last prices lor the day wtre in all cuies ma terially below the best, while in many in stances the ea'ller gams were wiped ,out and nnal prices made lower than those of last night. The skilled leadership of the market may safely be interred irom this showing, and It is not a rash assumption that prjfesslonal manipulation aiM played a part in the price movement. It is evident, however, thut operators in stocks with large resources and with an extensive or ganization for the purpose, have ventured upon a 11 )f k market campaign tor an ad vanco In priced. There is no evidence yet that the leadership thug undertaken has been effective in attracting any lurge out side buying movement. There was some In crease In commission house buying and the later downward course of prices was under the Impression that the professional opera tors were taking advantage of this demand to realize profits. The 'prevailing ease of money la the dominant motive for the re viewing of speculation, although the low rates to which call loans have fallen are in part a result of the recent stagnation of the speculative demand. The leading fea ture of today s market was the announce ment of the decision of the New Jersey court in favor of the right of the United States Steel corporation to convert a part of Its preferred stocks Into bonds: The preferred steel advanced strongly after the decision became known. Earlier the Read ings were the leadera and their upwurd movement was said to be due to the ex pectation that the first preferred stock will be restored to the 4 per cent dividend lint and the voting trust dissolved, now that the control Is definitely lodged in the hands of the I-ake Shore and the Baltimore & Ohio. It was thought possible, however, tnat the heavy liquidation of the minority Interest which followed this figure of con trol had resulted In the creation of a lurge short Interest, which was driven to cover yesterday anu today. It was very notice able that the large concurrent buying of Ji-ne and uniario western resulted inaj Grangers and Southwesterns moved up, and this advance was attributed to a be lief that the agreement arrived at between the Rock island and the Union Pacific au thorities would ba a benefit to the whole railroad situation In that part of the coun try. Wabash had the special benefit of thj perfecting of Its franchise to enter. Pitta burg. The strength of Brooklyn Rapid Transit was due to hopes' of advantage from the new movement. Profit-taking was In evidence all day in Amalgamated Copper In spire cf the reported strength of other coppers In the Boston market, and Sugar was carried down sharply as a result of the cut In the refined market. Rock Island seemed to be under pressure most of the time and did not share in the early strength In the Grangers. 1 he profit-taking became quite general at the last under cover of the late strength in Steel and the closing was easy. the bond market was active and quite broad, but there was some Irregularity In tne prW movement. Total sales, par value, $3.070.0uo. United States bonds were all unchanged on the lat call. The following are the closing prices on the New York Stock exchange: AtrhUon ft1 So.

Sellers held on for a long time In an attempt to pre vent another break, but were finally forced to take the prices offered. There was about the usual proportion ot bsef steers on the market and buyer started out bidding about a dime lower than yesterday. There waa still consider able unevennees to the trade, so that some sales looked hardly loc lower, while others were more than that much lower. Trading was very slow from start to finish, as sell ers all wonted steady prices, so the day was well advanced before anything like a clearance was made. The cow market was fully a dime lower and In a good many jpots waa l(Vg lie iower. All kinds suffered in the decline and as packers refused to raise their hands sellers finally had to sell out at the decline. It was late, though, before many cattle started toward the scales. Bulls were as much a drug on the market as ever, so that It was a difficult natter to atKpose of them at any price. 1 he prices paid were quite a little lower than yester day. Veal calves held steady and were in good demand. In spite of the downward tendency of the price of fat cattle the demand for feeders continued brisk and prices held strong. There were very few stock cattle offered, so that speculators again bought up quite a few of the part-fat cattle, which helped out n the trade on that class of cattle to some extent.

Packers however, were very slow about paying the advance and sellers had a hard lime to get It. As the morning sdvsnced the market essed off a little, so that the general market could not be quoted much more than strong to 6c higher. The quality of the offerings was nothing; extra, aa the weights were rather light. The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold from $6.80 to 36.86, with the prime heavy loads selling from I6.K3 to 36 96. The light weights sold mostly from 36 80 down. The extreme close of the hog market was very slow and weak and In fact the ad vnnce of the morning was practically all lost. At noon there were still several loads In first hands and buyers did not seem to care whether they g(k any mors hogs or not. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. Pr. No. At. Sh.

In instructing juries the practice of copying tho pleadings In order to state the Issues to be determined Ib not to be com mended. It might confuse the Jury, where the issues are numerous and the pleading complicated, but unless we can fairly suy that such was the result, a verdict will not be set aside for Instructing In that manner. a. One cannot complain because an In struction la too general In Its nature, un less he has requested the court to give one which. -is more explicit, and the same has been refused.

Assignments of error on account of re. reiving and rejecting evidence, although too general to require consideration, ex amined and held not to- contain reversible error. 7. A party having knowledge of fact, during the trial of a cause, which he claim " constitute misconduct on the part of a Juror must make the anme known to the court at once, and have the matter promptly disposed of. ThlB he must do as a matter of good faith, and he will not be permitted to withhold such knowledge from the court during the trial, allow the case to be submitted tn a Jury and thus speculate upon the verdict. By such con duct he will be held to have waived his right to a new trial on that ground, unless he HattKy the court that the Juror, an a matter Of fact, was prejudiced against him thereby and could not render a lair and impartial verdict In the case. 12440.
