The stock market was strong at the early board,
when moderate degree OF activity was impaired

THE REACTION
was Ia per cent, the advance having induced
a good deal of realization. The recent rise in c. q.
and l. c. is attributable to the completion of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, with which 1t will
form the eventual extension between Columbus
and Chicago, when the link in the line between
Columbus and the Ohio River has been built. New
Jersey Central sold at 105H and Lackawanna was
steady at 1Ol. The announcement is made from
Trenton that in the case of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and western Railroad Company against the
New Jersey Central the Vice Chancellor OF New
Jersey has enjoined the Central road from taking
up the third rail on their road or in any wise IN

On 'Change to-day cotton was in moderate de-
rnand and steady. Flour was firm while wheat
and corn were somewhat better.
THE DRY GOODS IMPORTS.
The total imports OF foreign dry goods at the
port OF New York for the week ending January 80,
ls73, were of the specie value Of 49, ,22o. The
amount marketed during the same period was
$S466.5 500. The imports show falling of of nearly
q million dollars as compared with the previous
week.
THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The London quotations show sharp advance in
1918, which have risen u per cent to 932, and an
Improvement OF 4 in the new fves. C0nsOls came
steady and quoted the same for money and the &C
count, the equalization being due to the near APP
proach Of settling day. which will be February 4.
Erie shares were strong, and advanced 13I per
cent closing at SO, equivalent in our currency to
86H. l) s.
MONEY ACTIVE.
The money market, which was steady at per
cent on stock collaterals and per cent on gov
eminent securities during the greater portion OF
the day. became quite active toward the close Of
banking hours the rate in the dealings on the side

quoted q per cent discount for prime names.
Foreign exchange Was weaker, but nOminally the
same as to rates at the desk. Prime sixty -day
sterling bills were done at 1924 and sight at 110H.

GOLD LOwER-113I 1872.
In the gold market the result for the day was
decline Of Y per cent-say from 1l3X to 1881.
The decline was started by the advance OF the
'67's in the London market, and was assisted by
the subsequent weakness OF foreign exchange, the
closing sales at 1881 being the further conse-
quence OF the Custom House return showing q
falling or in the dry goods imports and implying
corresponding decrease in the general imports for
the past week, the full report or which will be
made by the Custom House tomorrow. The pros.
pective success Of the Syndicate in negotiating
the remainder of the new five per cents also helped
the weaker temper of the market. The course OF
the market Is shown in the table,
