NEW YORK. Jan. 90.
The Commercials money article SAYS the market
exhibits more steadiness than might be expected
from the tenor of the foreign news. There are no
symptoms of tnlid apprehension arising out Of cri-
sis at London, which impairs financial relations
with that centre, such to seriously endanger
affairs here in the event of trouble there ~ .
Five-twenties show some sensitiveness from the
possibility that certain amount might be returned
here for realization. Holders Of cotton bills also ex-
hibit some nervousness, and foreign bankers find it
necessary, under the cutlery against American cred-
its raised by London Journals to hold their affairs in
conservative position; but with these exceptions
capitalists look upon the London crisis as compare
lively uninterested spectators. =. X
The depression In the stock market continues. The
bears exhibit less activity but prices continue to de-
cine Erie being the only exception in the whole rail-
road list The prevailing impression is that prices
have touched bottom, and there is disposition to
buy in anticipation Of an upward reaction. At the
morning board buyers option predomnated over SELL
ers. As symptom of the feeling of the Market Gov
ernments are dull with more sellers than BUYERS.
Old 5-20s lower 1905 also declined 4. The mis-
cellaneous list is generally weak. Money is without
change; there is little outside demand, the amount Of
western produce bills arriving being still merely nom
inal. The condition of affairs in England appears to
have induced an increased demand for sterling az.
change, and rates show more drmness. Prime bank
ers bills quoted at 1881 by leading drawers but
| can be bought in good amounts at 1885,.
The supply of cotton bills is abundant Gold IL
steady; the demand is confined almost exclusively to
the requirements of duties The foreign news has a
slight tendency to strengthen the premium. = /

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.
A Washington special dispatch to the News
says private letter from gentleman in Paris,
dated January 4th, has been received, describ-
ing recent interview between Napoleon and
the American Minister. 4 t
Napoleon speaks frankly on the Mexican
question, and expressed his determination to
preserve friendly relations with the United
States, and his wish to withdraw the French
troops as soon as he could be assured that our
policy of neutrality towards Mexico would be
continued.
He intimated very plainly, however, that he
would never abandon Macmillan as long as
there was any danger that the United States
would pull down what he had built UP at SO
much expense. All he would ask was that we
should not interfere with the present govern
ment of Mexico, the permanence and stability
of which, if left to itself, he was convinced,
would be secured. The correspondent also
adds:
