Feb. 17. -Only scanty mate rial for comment could be found In today's torpid stock market. Speculative Interest waa more stagnant than at any time since before the national election. The few stocks which moved appreciably from aom special cause were without any sympathetic effect on the general list, which drifted Idly backward and forward on nominal transaction, representing noth ing more than th tentative effort of th room trader to scalp a am nil fractional profit Th bond division atlll offered a harp contrast to the stagnation f the toek market, although th volume of trans action there also fell away from the re cently prevailing level of rtlvity. Th re maining doubt over the final outcome of the Erie financing la partly retrponaible for whatever check la perceptible In tha bond market. Dealer report th general condi tion In that branch of th market excel lent and designate the sit oat Ion as ap proaching a famine appetKa for Investment. The conn It km Is perceptible In the manner of flotation of new issue more than In the open market for existing taaue. Tha expected Chlcaan. Rurlineton a Qulncy offering which appeared over night provra to oe iis.nm.utio against previous es timate of probably 230.000,000 or upward and th offering was cktaed a Boon aa opened, previou application having hewn larger than the total Unua As the allot ment price of 94 compared with a nHce above par for bond previously Issued under ' uie same mortgage th prompt rise In the prlc of the new Issue to a premium over the Issue price waa not surprising. It be came xnown also that the New York Cen- tra had disposed of a block of 84.0uu,000 of It refunding 8 per cent bond pre viously authorised without public announce, ment of offering. These evidences of un aated Investment demand for bonds proved ineuecKuai in stimulating any deallnas In atorka The halt In the trad revival apJ Ktrma wj- nanny in ertect -oi aoundant money resources In that department of th ecu titles market. Th content of the an imal report of the Preesed Steel Car com pany and the unfavorable views exnreiuuvl by It president over railroad prospects kept aiitrniion uxea on tne suDject loaay. Another reduction In copper quotation her and In London wa a contributory factor. The gloomy feellnr In the eteel trade was deepened by reiterated report of a coming cut in price. Thl la quite directly effective In speculative sentiment D slock oeiiing marcn a tne date Inr the calling of th -extra session gav renewed vlvnr to the diitcusalon of the coming new tariff mw na tne reports of the probable diverg encies of view in a prominent political party which may Drolona- the settlement of th new schedule. As no effective trad revival 1 looked for until the schedule re determined this possibility of delav waa oi coining mrtuenc on tne Speculative spirit. The tariff question and Its uncer tainties wa a neutralising force to the coming Inauguration of the new president, who haa been looked forward to a a noa- ibl stimulant of the stock market such a ine movemoer election proved to be. -Published reports of the program being followed by E. H. Harrlman to build up hla health had th effect of arousln some misgivings on tht subject. nA early rise in Atchison wa aaaoclated with rumors of a coming increase m dividend.
