SHORT TIME N0TE3 COMINO DUE Deereaae la Earnlnaa Throwa neabt a Ability to Par and Affects Prlree Rally at the Cloae. NEW TORK. Feb. 19-The feature of the financial altuatlon which was brought Into notice by the action of today's stork market was the position of corporations, especially the railroads, with Important maturing obligations to meet, while the falling off In their earning power has en croached so far on the margin of surplus available for distribution as to seriously impair the market standing of the securi ties. The Oould group was acutely affected by the .considerations today and securities of other companies whose position is believed to be analogous showed the greatest sym pathy. The degree of resistance shown hy the general market, howover, to the Influ ence of the demoralized break In the, Onuld stocks was worthy of remark. In the early stages the contrary movement in Missouri Pacific was Ignored and prices elsewhere made some headway upward, and there was a final rally to tho best. The rise was haltod and a general reaction ensued, but It was moderate compared with the fall in the stocks most affected. The slumping tendency extended to some points in the bond market as well aa whero the same general causes were at work. Railroad companies generally were forced lust year Into temporary expedients for financing their requirements and the rush of busi ness at that time and the high cost of operation and all kinds of equipment added materially to the urgency of these needs. It was assumed at an early fctage of the banking crisis last fall that In the revul sion to follow there would be such a piling up of cash In banking reserves as would lead to redundant money and so assist in the refunding of the notes referred to as they might mature. Rut the event Is prov ing that the falling off In business which released money from active circulation for return to bank reserves must be reck oned with also on the side of diminished earning power with which to meet charges on borrowings. The steps now being taken toward retrenchment and economies of the railroads to meet the falling off in busi ness offer ono of tho leading subjects of attention In the financial world. Today thure were reports of concerted action among western railroad companies looking toward a reduction In wages on their sys tems. Fears of the strike troubles that may follow are an appreciable Influence In the undertone of depression In the securi ties market. Retrenchment and economy, however, cannot escape the obligation for expenditures already made and the burden of such obligations was the point of em phasis In the lesson Inculcated by the dny-s doings In stocks. A belief prevailed that an aggravating cause of the extreme de pression shown by some stocks was the forced selling of them In tho liquidation of loans In which they figured as collateral and which are now maturing. Recurring liquidation of this kind has been In evi dence from time to time ever since the emergency terms which were forced on needy borrowers last fall. Fears of such liquidation remaining to be completed are a damper on the demand for stocks. Ro ports of an Intended receivership for Mis souri Pacific, which were stimulated! by the action of the atock, were denied by the head of the system. The stock sold aa low as 28ft. Early in 1X97 Missouri Pacific sold at 10, but a rise later In that year put It to an altitude above today's price, above which it was held, at varvlng degrees, ever since. Western Union at 41, today's low price, was at the low record since 1870, when It touched H. Another decline In copper was an Incident of the day. Money on call went above 2 per cent for the first time In many days. Payment of a M per cent installment of subscriptions to Canadian Pacific stock was a factor in the money market. Sterling exchange continued firm and kept alive discussion of a possible outward movement of gold at an early date. The closing for stocks was strong at the rebound. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, 33.470.COO. United States 4s advanced 2V per cent on call. No. of sales and quotations on storks were as follows: Sain. High. Low. Cl.

In point of quality the offerings were little different from what they have been during the last week, Including comparatively few strictly choice beeves and not a great many that were strictly poor. All classes of buyers seemed to have good orders to fill this morning and with the prospects of meager offerings for the balance of the week they readily paid pricea that were strong to 10c higher than yesterday. On the medium and common grades the trade was alow all the forenoon and prices little If any better than yesterdayi Compared with the close of last week prices are Just about 10 (ttloc higher. and Uiore is a good healthy tone to tho trade. The market for cows and hetferswas ac tive and about 10c lUgher than yesterday for good stuff. The Inedlum and common grades showed little or no Improvement and nut with a rather Indifferent demand. Anything at all useful In the way of butcher and beef stock can be safely quoted lOfiljc hither than the close of last week and there is a broad outlet for the decent stuff. The market for veal calves was slow and unchanged, but bulls, slags, etc., sold a shade belter than yesterday. Business in stochers and feeders was small, us the offerings were very limited. Yard traders were all wanting supplies, however, and they paid better prices than yesterduy for what they wanted. The gen eral average, of prlcs Is about Ktylu lower than for the close of last weok.

Fresh supplies this morning were comparatively IIkIiI. On account of ex isting conditions, salesmen were lncltued to ask a sharp advance over yesterday's ngures, uut ouyers were not disposed to yield to this and aa a consequence the trade was rather slow and prices very un even. Some of the more desirable butcher weight loads sold Value higher than yester day, but on heavy hogs It was difficult to get more than a 6c advance and on some of the commoner loads of all weights there was no quotable advance at all. The move ment was rather slow all forenoon and the close was rattier weak than otherwise al though indications were favorable for a fair clearance, lops brought $1.32Vs as against $4 3t yesterday and the bulk of the offer ings went at 4.10tU4.2S as against $1.0&U4.15 yesterday. representative sales: No. At.
