RECOYERIGS ON CHANGE
Best Figures Of the Day Made on
Final Dealings.
Speculative Apathy Accounted for
by the Uncertainties Of
Legislation.

New York, Jan. 5,Although state
nents of railway earnings have not the
speculative potency, that they possessed
last summer, the publication of a large
number of very favorable traffic returns
this morning seems to have been the chief
Influence In the reversal of the tone OF
the stock market. There was also the
additional circumstance of an unruffled
money market and the correction of yester-
days reports In respect to the health of O
prominent financier left the days situation
clear one. The character of the sell
ing of the earlier part of the week was
disclosed clearly enough In the mornings
quick recovery, for there was no extension
of outside interest apparent, and commits
sion houses were not active in the trading.
The beginning OF legislative activity at
Washington and Albany may have ac-
counted In part for the apparent speculative
apathy, but the various measures intro
dnced were moi direct factors in the market.
The final payment on account of the
Union Pacific settlement will be effected
at the clearing house tomorrow as the sub
treasury received today the syndicate's
check for SIS, 800 600, which will be duly
passed through the exchanges. Bankers
do not expect any further stringency in
the money market. The trading In the
stock market was active only i'm particu-
lar securities and rather spasmodic even
III those instances. London houses Were
sellers of the international shares, notably
Louisville and Nashville, W here it appears
that expectations of early dividend
declarati nave been misplaced. Interest
was relatively large in Missouri Pacific,
Manhattan, Peoples Gas, Sugar Refining,
aud the changers. he best figures OF
the day Were made in the final dealings,
and the market closed strong and with
inc reased activity.

UNION PACIFIC MORTGAGE.
One of Mr.. Griggs's First Acts VIII
Be for u Foreclosure.

Attorney General McKenna, it isreported,
win relegate the Central Pacific default
of payment to his successor, Gov. Griggs,
of New Jersey. The Central Pacific Rail
road people claim that this is the first
time they have made default in the pay
ment To the Government, but it happens
that if proceedings are instituted to collect
interest the proceedings win include
suit for a foreclosure of the mortgage.
Commenting on the situation with refer
ece TO the duty of the Government In the
premises, MIR. Mckenna said:
IN some respects the position of the
Government would he different from that
in the Union Pacific case. In the latter
suit, the first-lnortgage bondholders be-
gan foreclosure proceedings. The Govern
nent, holding second len, then brought
suit, and subsequently both creditors joined
i'm action. The first-mortgage hondholders
of the Central Pacific have already granted
an extension OF time to the road, so there
is no immediate necessity for the Gov
erninent to bring suit"

Congress is now in session again, and
there is a large contingent who profess
desire to wait for Developments at the
Capitol The pheDomenally low price of
cotton and the consequent depression in
the cotton trade are showing many who
didn't see it before that the excellent
prices for wheat are not due to Mckinley.
There is large class that believes the
Mckinley boom in stocks is over, and that
prices from now on will have a downward
tendency. All these influences combined
do much TO prevent people from making
those fine, large investments that were
predicted for the first OF the year. A
large amount Of cash has been released in
dividends recently, but as yet none of it

Tuesdays declines In the stock market
were recovered yesterday. There was 10
more significance in the professionally
manipulated rise of yesterday than there
was in the drop of the same nature ON the
day before. There was almost no COM
mission house business yesterday, prices
fIuctuating on the small maneuyerings OF
the room traders. In general it may be
said that the same lack of interest, the
same indisposition of the public to invest,
and the same lack of reason ON which TO
base any sane hope that have character
lied the situation for many days, are still
apparent.
The manipulation showed itself chiefly
yesterday in Manhattan and Sugar. Both
the trust and the Tammany railroad shares
went up in price on the boost of well known
operators. The situation in Manhattan is
unchanged. The influence that TamnIa ny's
friendliness is bound to have is urged in
sistentiy and strenuously by its friends. 1t
is stated that the road will take every ad-
vantage of the Tamnlany regime TO make
extensions and secure needed facilities.
