EASTERN MARKETS.
NEw YoRK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The stock market was under lquidating pressure to-day, but the strength Of some special stocks and rnanip,I- lated advances of others made the market exceedingly uneven. There were numerous halts in the liquidation during the day and partly successful attempts to achieve rallies so that the day was of constant changes some stocks mounting upward strongly while the market was tending downward There was every evidence of continued heavy selling to tske profits in some of the most prominent fa- yorites in the recent speculation notably Northern Pacific. Union Pacific and the Van derbilts. Quite a large element of the rso- fessional traders sold the market with a good deal of vigor and confidence. Nevertheless of ferings were very well absorbed and most of the net losses of the day confined 10 frac- tlons. The early transactions showed positive strength under q combination of influences Among these was considerable buying for London There quite large volume of buying orders from the commission houses also during the day. The new securities of the Union Pacific Company in the unlisted depart ment' of the exchange advanced with some thing of a rush in view of the opening prices and imparted strength to the whole market With the execution Of accumulated buying or .ders, the bearish tendency of traders obtained the ascendancy. There were various reasons given to account for the decline Among them was the apparent hopelessness of agreement as to rates on the expected Klondike business.
 -Humors of losses sustained by local bank through fntudicious loans encouraged the re- actions. The rates for exchange hardened Q shade on investments induced by the low rates for money, which continued to work to an easier basis. The days exchanges at the local clearing house went to the enormous total or y2O4, ,221, 925 rehecting some very heavy fnan- cial operations The details of these could not be ascertained
 The bond market continued strong large

 The circular of Henry Clews, under date of New York. January 29, says: ''The extraor- dtnary increase in deposits and the large gain in reserves shown by the last bank statement are evidence of the growing accumulation of funds seeking employment at this center. These bank figures however, only partially express the real extent of the plethora. It is necessary to take into account also what we are lending to Europe. In my advtces of last week reference was made to the large amount to which New York Is under advances to Europe. Those loans have since been in creased and 1t appears doubtful whether S50.

The local financial institutions are quite disposed to encourage these operations the only means Of pre- venting a glut of gold which we do not need and averting still lower rate of interest.
