Expectation tkat Heavy Bnbarrln.
tlons Wonld Stlmnlale Buylsg
of Sernrltle Is Dis
appointed. NrTiV TORK, Feb. lT.-Dullness and d.
presslon overhung the stock market todav.
1'he active operations which prompted price
declines were largely at the hands of pro
fessionals of the room trading class. The
sentiment which prompted their attitude
was, however, quite generally prevalent and
was a fair reflection on the unfavorable
Interpretation placed In immediate events
in the financial district and lack of hope
fulness of early betterment. ,
Much had been hoped from the successful
ale of New York City bonds as a stimu
lating force In the securities market.- To
day confirmed the Impression of Saturday
that the event has fallen flat. The Impres
sion was heightened by the action of the
bonds themselves, which are dealt In "when
issue" at the Stock exchange. The price
reacted moe than a point from the first
quotations in the new securities made on
Saturday and the older Issue of city bonds
fell back In company. ThPre were some
special Incidents" in the day's happenings
which had a disturbing effect on specula
tive sentiment. New force was given to the
fear of the government's prosecution of the
Harrlmsn railroad group by the steps taken
against the Southern Pacific for rebating
offenses. The copper securities, including
American 8meltlng, were under the special
pressure In connection with another sharp
decline in the price of copper both here and
In London, and American Smelting touched
a new low level for tho year. Gloomy re
ports were current of the copper trade out
look. Discussion of tho trade outlook In
general took the form of some criticism of
the tendency of the great trade combina
tions, especially steel, to hold up prices, the
question being raised whether revival of
consumptive demand would not thereby be
deferred and the depression prolonged. The
report of the net earnings of the Erie for
the December quarter, showing the previous
year's surplus converted into a heavy de
ficit, explained the past weakness in the
securities of that company. Railroad traffic
oflcials in their usual weekly statement of
views for publication were not reported in
the cheerful strain over the present state
of affairs of traffic or the promise for the
immediate future.
The apparent check to the Inflow of bank
ing funds from the interior evidenced by
the last two bonk statements is arousing
some discussion and seems to negative the
assumptions held at on time as to the ex
tent to which reserves would ple up in
New York after the panic had subsided.
The replenishment of the deficit in reserves
here, tho withdrawal of government deposits
by the United States treasury and the rapid
rate of retirement of national bank notes
has helped to take up the slack as the re
turn tide flowed in, but no gold has gone
out In export. The foreign trade stotemont
ton January shows, in fact, that the excess
value of exports of merchandise reached
a total of upwards of $lJO,oiio.out, thus ex
ceeding even the record of $115,000,000 shown
In December. The sustained control of the
International exchanges held by New York
is thus explained. Some of the day's de
pression came from foreign Influences. The
Macedonian question, an Important failure
of a Scotch engineering firm and professed
apprehension over the relations between the
United States and Japan were among these.
Bonds were Irregular. Total salee, par
value, $3,362,000. United States bonds Wore

CATTLE Receipts this morning were
hardly aar large as dealers were expecting,
but the supply was substantially the same
as a week ago and the general quality of the
offerings was pretty much the same as to
wards the close of last week. Reports
from eastern markets were to the effect that
supplies there were heavy and the trado
slow and slower. This naturally had a
somewhat depressing influence on the local
situation. , All the. local packers, however,
had liberal orders to fill and with quite a
little competition from shipping and export
buyers the , movement was reasonably
active and the moderate offerings changed
hands at prices that were practically steady
with Friday of last week.. Buyers evi
dently wanted to get tho cattle lower, but
the small "supply and active competition
prevented this and while the tone to the
trade was weak, figures were well sus
tained on anything good enough to bring
out competition. .
Offerings of cows and heifers were com
paratively liKht and the quality nothing ex
tra. A good demand developed for deair
ablo grades and prices wero bidding a little
lower on the medium and common grades
and in so.ua cases it took shaded prices to
move them. Veal calves held about steady
and there waa a good firm market for bulls,
stsgs, etc
The trade in atockera and feeders was
rather limited. Prices held Just about
steady on the good weight and quality
grades, while light stuff of good quality was
in very keen request and fully 10 cents
higher than the close of last week. It is
getting along toward the time of year when
the country is looking for light stuff and
aa a consequence prices are firming up
considerably on anything of this kind, while
the heavier gradea are not ao much sought
after avnd are generally not mora than
steady.

HOGS There was a very light Monday's
run of hogs liera today nd the quality of
the offerings were hardly as good as It
was toward the close of last week. Ad
vices from eastern markets were In the
main favorable and this, together with
the comparatively light receipts, infused
some life Into the trade and prices were
any whore from about steady on the medium
and common grades to a shade belter on
the hogs showing weight and quality. The
general .movement was free throughout
and a clearance was made In yerry good
aeaaon In the morning. Tops today brought
$4.20, thtsamtf as on Saturday, but the bulk
of the trading was at $4.004.10, as against
$3 96444 10 on Saturday. ,
