Jan. 17 -The features of to day's stock market was the speculative operations in a number of storKS which nave been exhaustively exploited In tne speculation of the Immediate past and which parsed through a period of prottt tHklng subsequent to that speculation. There was a lively renewal In the same con nection of a great variety of rumors, mostly pointing to combinations and mergers. which have already played a principal part In the advances effected In those stocks. The capacity demonstrated by the move ment fur the completion of a digestive process of profit-taking In the market and a sull furtner advance in the stocks af fected made a considerable impression on speculative sentiment. The reversion of tne market operations to these stocks was accompanied by constant profit-taking at other points of the list. Tills extended to many stocks which showed strength in the earlier part of the day, so that they were made to yield their gains In the subsequent dealings. The most conspicuous example of the reversion of the speculation to former channels was that of Union Pa cific. This was subjected to some further extensive profit-taking In the earlier part of the day, but It broke through this re straint later and rose to a new record level above with marked effect on the gen eral speculative sentiment. The Smelting and Metal stocks were another example of this tendency In the market. Smelting and lead both rose to new record levels. Amal gamated Copper was kept down or forced back when It did advance by a constant stream of realising sales. The news con cerning these properties was plentiful, but was entirely In the form of rumors. The settlement of the Montana copper war, a merger of the smelting and lend companies and a gigantic combination of all the cop per mining, smelting and allied metal lu dustries are samples of the character of these rumors. The actual news of the day was not Im portant bevond the continued heavv ac cumulation of cash resources In New York, i Money rates In consequence continued to work, easier. Interest attaches to the prob able action of the Bank of England au thorities on the discount rato tomorrow, owing to the operations of the bank thla week dealgned to advance the open mar ket rates, which Is a usual preliminary to an advance In the bank rate, but the hank hiu Iieen ahle to secure the sunnlles white, September, i of gold In the market this week and, this advance in tne Dana Sw York Money Market.

The market waa not very active and wl.ile there was no very great change in any direction the feeling was weak and the tendency of prices a little lower. The supply of cows and heifers wss larger than usual, there being not far from lifty cars on sale. The quality also averaged up fairly good, that is there were quite a number of loads of very decent stuff. The msrket was In a good deal of the same condition as was that on beef steers. That Is. It was not very active ar.d prices had a lower tendency. In fact, they were lower as a rule, unless It might be on aomctnlng that Just happened to take the eye of a buyer.
