New York Feb 2.-There were frac-
| tiona net declines on the Stock Exchange
to-day, with dealings in about 900
shares. Influenced by better London quo
tations and the reduction in the Bank of
Englands rate of discount stocks opened
strong, with an advance of about half a
point in the active list. There was dis
position both here aud abroad toward in
creased interests in low priced shares.
Purchases for London account on balance
reached about % 600 .shares, but 1t was es-
timated that about 10000 shares of stock
shipped from London would reach New
York this week.
Advices indicating that the ratification
of the peace treaty was likely had some
influence on speculative sentiment, and
prices continued to rise most of the fore
noon. Chesapeake and Ohio, International
Silver Louisville and Nashville and Den
yer and Rio Grande moved up smartly
There was sympathetic advance among
the high priced stocks, but 1t was of only
moderate proportions. Central Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Atchison preferred. Ten
nessee Goa and Iron, Cleveland, Chicago,
Cincinnati and St. Louis and Norfolk and
Western preferred were strong. Periods of
strength were displayed by Manhattan,
Brooklyn Transit and Sugar. In the aft
ernoon the buying demand slackened and
the apparent inclination of commission
house customers to take profits induced
traders to offer stocks down, which in turn
| brought about some liquidation of weak
holdings.
There were sharp recessions in number
of specialties, including Peoples Gas,
Sugar, Tobacco, Twin City Rapid Tran
| sit, Metropolitan Traction and Consolidat-
| ed Gas. The weakness of the latter stock
was in a measure attributable to measures
introduced in the New York Legislature
for the reduction in the price of gas.
The Changers and number of other
| stocks receded point and over from the
best. The selling for a time was on mod
crate dealings, but before the movement
was over the volume increased considera-
bly,. and prices got well below yesterdays
closing In the late dealings there were
slight rallies led by Sugar, and the market
closed firm. The announcement that the
electrical equipment had been underwrit-
ten benefited Manhattan in the early deal
ngs, but it failed to hold the advance.
The bond market showed more stability
than stocks, the undertone being one of
undoubted strength. In the final opera
tons, however, profit-taking in the active
issues impaired an irregular close. Total
sales amounted to $4,sOO,OOO Government
bonds were unchanged in bid prices.
The total sales of stocks were 799, 700
