WALL STREET SPECULATION
Movement Sluggish and the Prices Tend

'ALL STREET SPECULATION
Acute Suspense Results From Delayed Action
Relative to the Bond Issue Bond
Prices Recede Sharply

NEW YORK, Jan, 3.-The stock market
displayed a sagging tendency in prices
during the greater part of the day and the
speculative movement was sluggish. The
suspense Is growing acute in financial cir
cles in regard to the proposed bond issue,
as the matter had been expected to be
closed by this time. The same condition
applies to almost all other branches of
Wall street business, which are rendered
unsettled by the protrnc ncted delay on a
question Of such decided interest. The
conflicting exports of gold from this coun.
try, uncertainty regarding the probable
course of the money and commercial mar
kets and the liquidation in American se-
curities in London, due to the Transvaal
imbroglio and Other causes, all contribute
to the disquiet of local dealers and invest
ors. Foreign cables came lower previous
to the opening here and the arbitrage oper-
atoms for London account were for sales.
A reported increase in the premium in gold
as commodity to l II per cent bid and IN
asked, and the engagement of $1,O0O.OOO
in gold for export to Europe tomorrow also
appeared to perplex the professional deal
ers WHO at present control the stock tape
Tobacco displayed marked strength
throughout on reiterated rumors, now quite
familiar, of an impending compromise
with the independent manufacturers. The
buoyalcy of this specially had a strength
ening Influence on the general market late
in the day, which was helped by a decided
tendency towards ease in all money ra es.
Recovery from the low points we're made
ranging from to 1as per cent. Business
in bonds was moderate, with lower prices
yvaVrrv ntrH. asr.Vr in
the quotations for the new As, the last call
showing concession of a per cent. The
5s also sagged sharply, but improved n
per cent on the final bid.
