to be well executed and calculated to deceive the

Operations in the stock market the past week have

much Improvement. We have seldom known a more
qaiet state Of the market II is at present difficult to tell
what day or week may bring FORTH but from existing
indications we cannot conceive how anymprovemen can
soon take place The principal money markets continue
In very unsettled state and the rate of interest pretty
well up to the legal standard Our banks are drswipr in
rapidly as possible in anticipation of the February re-
turns and Is almost impossible to get dollar out Of
them Capital continues abundant in the street. but there
is not supply sufficient to promote speculation. How
long this state ofhngs will last depends somewhat upon
the movements at Washington. Sometime since every
one was anxious for the convention of Congress to SEQ
what would be done but now they are as anxious for
that body to adjourn, being well satisfied that nothing Of
importance will be done and that so long as Congress
in sessionevery thing connected with commercial srs
must remain unsettled At this tme stock speculators
feel the depressed state Of the the sensb
and cannot operate to any advantage until business
generally becomes active A very large part of the
amount recently paid in dividends and stocks DUE has
found ts way into the hanks N the shape Of deposits
there to remain until some movement comes up giving
employment to capital.

for most of the speculative stocks of this market II will
