NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Feb. 1S.-To-ay's market
ford securities on the stock exchange
was notable for nothing but its excessive
dullness, absence of feature and the mar
row limits of the trading aud the range
of prices. Even the industrials, though
they took up the bulk of what trading
was done, were not largely dealt in. The
market reflected no condition in the gem
eraI outlook for business in the country
and was simply swayed by the manipula
tive effoIrts of room traders. As was
inevitable in such condition Of apathy,
the course of prices was generally down
ward, though the volume Of sales was
not large. There was almost an entire
absence of commission house buying,
showing the lack of any outside specula-
tive interest in the market The bear
element predominates and succeeds in
depressing prices, but the only result is
that there is very little market left for
them. The influence is that holders of
securities are determined to wait for
the chance of more satisfactory market
before parting with their holdings. The
revival of feeling Of uneasiness over
the enigma OF the ultimate attitude OF
the great powers towards the Greeks in
Crete reflected from the foreign ex
changes served to depress the market
from the opening and there was selling
Of some international securities on for
eign account.
The bond market displayed decided
firmness generally on a wider volume of
trading which embraced a number of the
hitherto neglected issues. Improve
ments OF substantial character were
recorded in some of the high grade Sc
cHTities.
The government bond market continues
10 maintain q firm tone on d good inquiry

as a rule absorb the bulk OF the transac-
tions, but disposition is noted to take
