Jan. 27-Prlces of stocks were lifted In various quartera on the list today without much difficulty. The deal ings were not active at any time, but de mand was unsettled by various reports of railroad deals and the supply offering for eala waa ao Inconsiderable that light buy ing sufficed to make an Impression on prices. The state of the money market relieved the holders of stocks from any pressure for securing financial resources. All signs confirm the plethoric condition of the money market. Interest rstes are declin ing. New Tork trust companies are pre pared to comply with the 16 per cent re serve requirement which goes Into effect on February 1. compared with the 10 per cent cash reserve now held, and these in stitutions hold large additional deposits with bsnks. Their own deposits have now risen well over 11,000,000.000 and the diffi culty of placing their resources haa given rise to discussion of a reduction of the rate of Interest paid on deposits from 8 per cent now offered. The call upon the United States treasury for current redemption of bank notes is so great and the drain upon gold holdings so severe as to give the department officials much concern. This and other irUrns ot slow business discoursge large buying of securities, but the easy money market makes a disinclination to sell. Yesterday's salt, of Chesapeake & Ohio to the Hawley Interests gave fresh vitality to storlea of deals and the election of E. H. Harrlman to the New York Central direc torate met an expectation long held In the financial district. The Influence of these two Incidents waa traceable through most of the price movement which occurred dur ing the day. The Ooulcl group was conspic uous and New Tork Central also made re sponse. The market was sluggish and languid outside the currents of these spe cial Influences. There was another reduc tion in tha quotations for copper at the New Tork Metal exchange. London was somewhat disturbed by the stiffening money market and signs of congestion in new investment Issues. A million dollars was engaged in New Tork for shipment to Argentina on London account. The military activity in Bulgaria sent some ap prehension through the financial market. The realising usual in a narrow profeasional market modified the day's exchanges and made the closing tone irregular. The pressure to find employment for the growing accumulations of money resulted in a bond market of extraordinary breadth. trength and volume. Total sales, par value, ft,996.000.

Packers were slow In. getting out Into tha yards this morning, and they showed no disposition 10 pay any nigner price, even for the desirable beeves. In a few cases something that Just happened to fill an order sold pretty close to lOo higher than yesterday, but for the most part salesmen found It about all they could do to get Steady figures. There waa a healthy under tone to tho trade, but the Indifferent tone to eastern advices prevented any matrlal ad vance in i this market. There were about forty loads of cows and helfera on sale. Oood killing grades of all kinds met with a fairly good demand and prices were steady to a little stronger than yesterday. Medium and common sturr, however, waa rather alow. In stockers and feeders the demand ex ceeded tha supply so far as desirable offer ings were concerned and prices ruled strong. On the other hand there waa quite a large proportion of lightweight and low-grade stuff here, for which the Inquiry waa very limited, and the trade ruled slow with prices ratner weak on anything or this Kino. yuotauons on cattle: uood to choice corn fed steers. $5. 75(86. 40: fair to good corn-fed steers, 9o.26A6.60; common to fair corn-fed steers, $4.(Xj)6.O0; good to choice cows and iieriiers, i.iraD.r'i mir id guou cows ana heifers, I3.60fr4.25; common to fair cows and heifers. li.Wii8.00: Mock heifers. $2,603 3.40; veal calves, $3. 6037.76; bulls, stags, etc., I2.7fitfi6.00; good to choice stockers and feed ers, 4.)jX(;ti.wi; lair to good stockers and feeders, $3.804.50; common to fair stockers ana feeders, 12. 75418. 60. tiepresent&llve sales: BEEF STEERS.
