| Ne W York Jan. 2S-The market was
quite irregular to-day. The opening was
| stron in spite of the irregularity of the
Lond on market, because in part of the abb
sence of disqueting Philippine advices,
which apparently has been expected by the
| traders who started covering short con-
tracts Presently there was a renewed at
J tack 0 u values on predictions of an unfa-
vorabfe bank statement, but when the
statement appeared it upset all calculations
by being very favorable. This was the
| signal for the re-purchase of stocks sold
earlier, which gave a strong tone to the
closing. There was some recessions in the
railroads, howev er, on the evening up of
| contracts for the week. Sugar and Glu-
cose gained over a point each, but it
seemed to be the impression of traders
| that Sugar was advanced in the interest
of sellers, Will e in other quarters the sim
| Infamous advance of Glucose and Sugar
| was surmised to presage favorable trade
developments.
Among the Pacifics there was an ad-
vance of pc int in Northern and Southern.
| The movement in Northern Pacific was at
tributed to more confident gossip regarding
its dividend standing. Pacific MaH was
strong on the more favorable outlook for
the mail subsidy bill in Congress Mime
apolis and st. Louis at one time displayed
strength on the possibility of the first pre-
! ferred stock being retired. The prospect
| i've advance in coal rates at Western points
was reflected in some strength in Read
ing.
Among the low-priced shares st. Louis
and Southwestern preferred rose A points
aud st. Louis and San Francisco second
preferred 2ss; Pttsburg. Cleveland. Cincin-
natl, Chicago and st. Louis, American Ex-
press and Southern Railway were also
strong
Among the Induatrials, American Steel
preferred and American Salt were weak.
Canada Southern and Cleveland, Cincin-
natl and ST. Louis preferred also showed
| declines.
Pronounced strength characterized the
bond trading to day. During the week the
| market showed less feverishness than in
stocks. Many issues were brought prom
inently forward owing to dissemination of
rumors regar ling their standing toward a
union with OF her properties. Dealings were
on an immense scale, with purchases for
out-of-town account exceptionally large.
