Bubstsntlal pro gress was made todsy In the digeatlon of spwculatlv profit -taking wntcii nss oeen accumulating on the stoik market for sev ers! days past. The sharp reaction wnicn developed yesterday was yulte widely ex tended during the early trading today anil afforded such relief from the pressure bearing on the market that the way was opened for a material recovery. The besrs were active sellers on the derllne and their aetlve demand to cover helped the rebound. 80 did the circulation of rumors of important changes In financial Institutions, esiieclallv tin alleged pasalng of control of the Kyullahle Life Assurance Society to J. p. .vtoi aim. i his rumor, coupled with the aggressive advance) In Northern Facinc. was the ettecllve lacior In turning the market and driving the bears to rout. Northern Faclflc showed resistance to the early depression In con tinuance of the same showing In yeswr day s decline. The persistence of this strength, gave It Impressdvene.-s and served to convince the skeptical that some good news was forthcoming regarding the stock, the result being the revival of assertions of nn intended extra disbursement on the stock such as were current prior to the declaration of regular dividend. Money markets gave striking evidence of the continued growth of hanking reserves, both here and abroad, the declining tend ency of foreign discounts and the appear ance of continental lenders In the loudon market driving down the London discount te here snd discussion ot a possime eariy gold export movement. Reserves ere now accumulating so rapidly in isew torn tun this prospect seems to have no disturbing affect. The banks have made another heavy gain on the weVs Interior currency movement, receipts on balances from the Interior havlna reached, apparently, fhn nelshborhod cf JS.iJfO.Oi'O, besides shout $i&0.000 on sub-treasury operations. That exports of gold at this time would htng" on money market considerations rather than on merchandise accounts agstnst us Is Indicated by the foreign trade statement for December, showing an excess value of exports of SIH.SBO.M. which Is more than twtre n- nrf-nt ns In December, UOO. Decem ber gold net imports amounted to $43,444,0.;", following the $ti.O0i).ftiO brought In during November. There has been an abrupt fall ing ff In value of Decomber imports of rner'h-iodlse to if.3w,i(i, compered with $110.94J.0n0 In November, and $U4.Sj0.P0 in 1 'eeeir.bi r of 1ti, piakrtg a striking exhibit of the country's reduced consumption as an effct of the financial crisis. December exports, on the other band, have risen severul million dollars over even the No vember record to an absolute record for anv one month of $W.17,4;. The enormous outward movement of grain and cottoft has conduced largely to this result. The violent eirly decline In prices cen tered largely In the metal Industrials, amalgamated copper and American Smelt ing being special targets of attack, for reasons obvious In the depressed oonditlon of the mining industry. New York Central was also pressed for sale sharply, the long account In the stock having been con siderably extended In the buying following the sale of equipment notes. The extent of the retrenchment plans outlined In re ports concerning some of the great rail road systems was a weight on sentiment. The late recovery was well maintained and last prices were near the best. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $3,850,000. I'nited States bonds were unchanged on call.

Jan. 17. Money was plenti ful on the market today and dla-ounis were easier on free purchases of bills by ths continent. Trading on the Stock exchange developed a aeak undertone, and realisations by recent speculative buyers affected gilt-edged securities and home rails adversely. The newa regard ing the Japanee budget from loklo meakened Japaneae bonds, poor traffic returns depressed Grand Trunk, wliilo the reduction in the dividend of Amalgamated Copper and the decline in the price of the metal Were responsible lor the de pression in copper shares American au curltlea opened fairly ateady. but irregu larity developed soon and this was fol lowed by a downward tendency whirf brought values , generally below parity. Canadian Pacific waa the weak leature, but Southern Pacific and Union i'aciflc were comparatively ateady.

C ATT LK Receipts of cattle were very heavy for a Friday, 118 cars being reported In. As receipts have been liberal all the week, wlih the result that packers had taken on Isrge numbers. It was not sur prising tha,t the Irsde this morning was very slow and late in opening. In fact, nothing of any consequence was done until well along toward midday. It was very apparent, however, right from the start that buyers were determined to secure the, cattle at less money than they paid yester day or leave them alone. As a rule buyers started out bidding K3 1 c lower on killing cattle of all kinds. In spite of all tlist sellers could do they were forced to cut loose at the decline and both beef steers snd cow stuff sold lOtJISc lower than yesterday. The irsde, however, was very slew and It was later than usual before a clearance was effected. As usual on a Fridsy there was very little demand for feeders, but fortunately there were not many on sale. Still the market on the fw here waa slow and easier.

The hogs that were car nrd over were some that came in very late yesterday and after the market had prac tically closed. The market tills morning started out about 6c lower, but had hardly more than got started when it was 5a lie lower, and It was on that basis that the hulk of the early receipts changed hands. This n-.eana that the better klnda of hogs sold very largely at $4 2tV(J-i 27V. as against $4.3004.35 yester day, prices did not improve any, (nd as the morning advanced and after the mira desirable loads had changed hands, buyers began talking as much as 10c lower on what waa left.

Lata arrivals fsred still worse., sailing In Borne esses ss muck aa xc lower. This morning, although receipts were only moderate, the market wss tha next thing to dead. Packers' requirements were very meager and thev did not want vtrr many at any price, and such as they did want they Insisted on buying still lower.

Dun A Co ( Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow Progress la alow, but each week brings s little Improvement, and confidence tn tha future grows more rapidly than rurrerii transactions. The best feature Is tht broader market for commercial paper. Loans In mercantile channels are noa tie gotlated freely at little more than the nor mal rate, facilitating postponed undei takings and making collections nio prompt. Buyers are coming Into the lead ing markets In large numbers, which shouh soon Increase transactions unless prlcei cannot be adjusted.

In trade lines colder weather snd snow have helped retail distributions some what, but price reduction sales sra gen erally credited with responsibility for what ever expansion has been shown In that branch aa a whole. Wholesale dealera and johbeta report sentiment Improvto, collec tions benefited by the return rli normsl conditions in the domestic money market, but trade demanda are below normal and In some sections a late and small spring iririu ! rti-erlti't ed ' Weather conditions' are against tha full est development of trade In coal and in this line and tn winter wear goods, cloth ing, shoes, rubbers, etc., there is less than ordinary business moving. Accompanying the greater ease of money at all centers seems to have conie a tendency lo pay up something on old accounts and soma long standing bills have been settled. On the other band the general slowness of trade, whetner due to mild weather or at the south to holding cotton, leaves something to be hoped for ss regards collections. Complaints of many extensions being asked fe. -ind perforce granted come from the south. .... .ndlcatlons point te trsde. despite Im provement over December, below the nor mal for this season. Jobbing business is quiet and revisions In price of prints, ging hams and plain and fancy cottons have not as yet evoked much buying al leading centers. ' ... ,, There Is a disposition to look for small, frequent and perhaps late buying and per haps a later than normal opening of spring trade. More life ia shown In pig Iron mar kets, the principal demand coming front makers of cast Iron pipe. Most .of the business went lo the south and the basis on which the tonnage was booked appears to be $13 per ton for No: 2 at Birmingham.
