To-day's market transactions were
confined for the most part TO the clos
ing up OF contracts In anticipation of
to-morrow's holiday. The course OF
prices indicated that few of the on
tracts were for short accounts. The
stocks that showed the greatest weak
ness to-day went to indicate that there
was selling to realize on the very desul-
tory buying OF the last few days. Even
so firmly held n stock as Northern Pa
clhc did not fully escape this tendency
and closed Mt a fractional loss. Metro
politan Street Railway also, which has
advanced very aggresslvely for several
days past, reacted 3 points and rallied
rather feebly. Manhattan lost rs of its
extreme advance, though 1t saves a
fractional net gain, There were other
points Of weakness In the list, including
New Jersey Central, Sugar and Ma
tlonal Lead. Union Pacific lost over a
dollar OF the third and last Of the s. as
sesslnents added to the price Of the
stock this morning. There was a time
during the day when the market ruled
above last nights close, and counting
from the high point both Burlington
and Omaha declined to the extent OF a
point. In fact II was not until the late
afternoon that the general level Of the
market fell below last nights close. II
was at this time that marked weakness
developed In Peoples Gas, resulting in
a net decline OF . points In the price OF
the stock. Susquehanna & Western
preferred and Pullman also dropped a
point at this time. Consolidated Gas
was dealt in at a price below last
nights close all day, but 1t %nuctuated
feverishly. Its extreme decline was 81
points, but It rallied over a point from
that. The settlement in progress on the
London exchange was watched with
some interest, but none OF the days
weakness can be attributed TO 1t, as
quotations were advanced in that mar
ket, and there was buying In that mar
ket for the London account. Probably
some depression vas caused by the
character Of the rate war which Is In
progress on some OF the western lines.
The general news Of the day was with
out influence on the market.

ness of the stock market and changes

The stock markets here were idle to-
day. The settlement shows Il fairly
small account, but contangoes were
higher because Of denrer money, which
ia largely caused by the Bank OF Eng
lands action In borrowing from the
market. To-day a large amount was
loaned TO the market by the bank for
n week. Contangoes on Americans
were about s per cent. Bank OF Eng
land gtocli has risen to 35l, the highest
polnt ever touched. There to no real
reason why the bank rate should rise
Tomorrow, but II IL just possible. The
market for Americans opened firm,
hap,s being bought here on Secretary
Cages speech In New York last night
They finally closed weak on New York
Offers OF stock. Grand Trunks were
booming on excellent %traflcs.
The Paris and Berlin markets were
quiet,
