NEW YORK, Jan, 15.--The passage OF the un
limited silver coinage bill by the senate, fur
nished mainspring for operations In the stock
market today, and altogether the influence was
adverse to values. The most marked effect was
seen in the material decline in the price of sill
yer certificates which, If anything, 1t was ex-
pected would be benefited by such measure
Another effect OF the passage of the bill was the
stiffening of the rates of exchange, caused by
large purchases by the people who fear the out
come OF slch legislation. Considerable fever
ishness and irreguarity was displayed in the
regular list during the day, and In the last hour
there was large amount OF short stock put on
