REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

\ New York, Feb. 4.-The market was
strong the greater part OF the day, put
early gains were lost and prices re-
ceded until they had made slight
net loss on the day. The bank state
xaent decrease in surplus of about one
and hree-quarter million dollars was
the ostensble reason for prices running
of in the late dealings. London was a
purchaser in this market, and the tone
there for American securities ended
arm. Locally there was continuance
of purchases by large interests noted
yesterday, and round amounts of short
contracts were covered. Confident buy
Ing Of high-priced stocks, including
New York Central and Pennsylvania,
gave strength to tht rest OF the list.
1t was announced that New York Cen
trail was to operate the West Shore
Railroad more directly, and that Sc
perate organization would be main
tained only as far as the West Shore
board was concerned Among the
other stocks showing conspicuous
strength on the rise were Wheeling and
Lake Erie preferred, Northwest. Rio
Grande and Western preferred, Denver
preferred. Canada Southern, c. c. c.
and ST. Louis and st. Louis and South
western preferred, which rose from l
to points. Metropolitan advanced Q
points. of which 1t retained 3: Third
Avenue jumped 111a, of which 1t lost
Az, and Consolidated Gas and Brook
lyn Union Gas retained 3A and 21a re-
spectively of large advances. In eX-
PLANTATION of the strength In these
was to absorb Third Avenue. This.
however, was denied, and the purchases
of metropolitan were said to be based
on results expected from the operations
of extensions about completed. Tho
strength of the gas stocks was on 4
90, tft,,, ~ 4 81.
Great Northern preferred held I points
OF an even greater rise on intimations
of a possible distribution of assets TO
stockholders. International Silver
gained 39s on the day. Lake Erie and
Western preferred dropped 6 points on
being relegated to the non-dividend
paying ranks. but recovered more than
half of the loss. The common stock
showed sympathetic weakness early,
but recovered and ended with = frac-
tional advance.
The bank statement. which affected
sentiment adversely, IVES Il surprise in
several respects. The increase of some
$4,000, goo in the loan account WAS r:ot
due to routine transactions. but was
attributed TO the financing OF n number
or deals of great magnitude In railway
projects and industrial combinations.
Then, again. extensive credit was spid
to have been given to foreign sellers,
who were obliged to borrow until the
securities reached here from abroad.
Business in bonds during the week
was on a normal basis. with s5ood un-
dertone. There were alternate periods
of strength and weakness in the specu-
IL tive Issues, which gave the market an
Irregular aspect.
