The companies are, in one case, trus-

matter. So long rs they assent to
nothing, they have the advantage.

FINANCIAL.

New York, Feb. 1.-lSpecial Telegram to
TnE BEE. STOCKS Active stocks were an
exception today. The disposition to wait
for the new week was so general that the
market was stagnant. There was a steady
opening, which was followed by quiet bust
ness, the only animation being In New
England, which displayed some strength,
though its advance was for u fraction only.
TIL general list, while extremely dull as a
rule, displayed a firm tone throughout the
hour and slight gains were made except IN
Chicago h Eastern Illinois stocks, each
OF which declined about l per cent
on light trading. The market failed to
develope any further feature and at IL
o'clock was dull and heavy, developing o
dropping tendency in the last few minutes.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois preferred also
dropped to n against so at the close vester-
day. The bank statement, showing a slight
decrease in reserves and over s., 600, 900 in
crease IN deposits, had a little influence on q
duh market. There was a slight decreasing
tendency before the close, but stocks ut the
close were either steady at last nights
figures or slightly higher. Lackawanna,
after touching 1877, closed 4 per cent higher
at 1855, aud Reading closed q per cent
higher at 1875. Western stocks were gener-
ally steady, but Atchison was up about e
per cent to 324. The feature of the last
hour was heavy buying by insiders in Coal
stocks,
