NEW YORK. Jan. 14-Money ruled at p
a3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper was
5a7 per cent Sterling exchange was arm
az 4S65 for sixty days and 400 for demand.
Gold opened at 1924, sold down to l12
and closed at 1924. The decline was attri- |
buted TO a report that the President had |
signed the finance bill. The rates paid |
for carrying were 2a4 per cent. and fat |
for borrowing. The clearings to-day were |
S}4,OOJ,O0O. The Treasury disbursements /
to-day were $4,000. Tie Customs re- |
ceipts to-day were S265,OOO. Government |
bonds were dull and steady. Railroad \
bonds were firm. state bonds were quiet /
with better prices for some. To-day was !
characterized by an unusual depression IN 4
speculative shares and for many stocks 4
lower prices were made than fer many |
months. The chef interest Ceutered in i
Western Union, Lake Shore and North
western. The first named was affected by
the announcement that Gen. Th0s 7.
Eekert had been elected President Of the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph in the place
OF John Duff, resigned. Early in the day
there was 4 disposition shown TO bear the
market, and leading stocks declined laIA |
per cent, Western Union leading in the
movement. Later the whole market re-
covered TO l per cent, Pacific Nail and
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph being the
conspicuous features in the rise. During
the evening there was a general falling of
on a dispatch from Washington stating that
the President was preparing message for
Congress recommending increased taxation
and the lowest prices Of the day in some
instances were touched. Lake Shore sold
down to T45, the decline being caused by
developments, which, l. is reported, will be
made Monday, when the company is re-
quired to show cause why they should not
be permanently restrained from paying the
dividend declared and due Feb. 1. The
weakness also extended to Northwestern,
which sold as low as "A on dispatches from
Wisconsin TO the effect that a canvass Of
the Legislature shows that the Potter act
cannot be repealed. The market closed
heavy, quotations being the lowest Of the
day with the exception Of Atlantic and Pa
cfic Telegraph, which was the only sock
which continued strong throughout, selling
up to %.
