NEW YORK. January 25.--TLe
Commercial Advertisers London
tinanancial cablegram:
The market opened flying to -iay on
the news of the capture OF Spion Kop
by Gen. Warren and remained buoy
mi for nearly an hour. The public,
however, failed to come in and the
highest prices were recorded at IL
O'Clock. After that hour dealings
slackened, the second thought being
that the victory was inconclusiye. The
reduction of the English bank rate to
4 per cent and of the German bank
rate to 3h helped the early cnthusi-
asm although the action in both cases
was a foregone conclusion. Consols
spurted to 102, but closed unchanged
at 101%.
Americans opened buoyant and rose
on a misinterpreted Reuters dispatch
regarding the extent of the British
losses at Spion Kop but the business
done in them was small and it dwindl-
ed to the close which wa dull on prof
it taking sales for New York. London
is nibbling at bonds.
The banks received to-day $4,000
gold from Portugal. 1t came out to-
day that the governors had reduced
the buying price of eagles by Id. last
Tuesday. Foreign exchange was as
follows: Paris cheque 25.19; Berlin
20.49h. The German bank rate is al
most certain to be reduced in a few
days.

SoAA OOAAo
Prices on the stock exchange at the
opening to-day reflected in a degree an
improvement in London on the news
that Gen. Warren had captured the
Boer position at Spion Kop. There was
a brief period of active buying by pro-
fessionals in expectation that the spell
on the market would be broken and
an outside demand for stocks attract
ed but the raiders quickly detected that
there was no competition outside their
own ranks in the demand for stocks
they turned to the short side almost
Immediately. The sagging prices be-
low the London parity made opera
tons profitable for the foreign arbi-
TRACE houses. since prices in London
were we'll sustained at the higher level.
Buying for foreign accounts in the in
ternationa1 stocks was estimated at
from 5000 to 10000 shares and even
this demand was largely met by sales
for short account. The industrial spec
ialties showed gains in sympathy
with the internationals, but they were
not So well sustained in the absence
of foreign demand. The absolute in
ertness Of the buying demand prompt
ed some selling pressure by the bears
against the industrials in the last
hour, but prices seemed as unwilling
to move downward as upward and the
shorts covered before the close which
was firm at slightly below the opening
level in most cases. The weekly re-
turns of the bank of England and the
bank of France disclosed a continu-
ance of the notable reflux into cash
reserves of those institutions, accom-
panied by liquidation of loan obliga-
lions to them. Open market discount
rates abroad continue soft, in spite Of
the continued increase in reserves of
the government institutions and in
London are still nearly one per cent
below the bank rate even after to-
days reduction to four per cent. The
S~ vi AAoiiSy III ANSW 1Uih dlSO
continues very sluggish although the
rate of inflow to the banks of cash
continue to increase OWING to large
revenue receipts by the government.
Mercantile paper is coming into in
creased demand and lenders of mon
ey make additional concessions in the
placing of time loans. All this has
not the slightest apparent effect in at
tracing any operations in the stock
market which went through the whole
day after the opening squirt very near
the level of stagnation. A feature in
the outside market was a demand for
Standard Oil, which sold at 512. a rec
ord price.
The bond market was rather broad
er than that for stocks but showed a
falling of from the recent active bust
ness. Prices were well sustained
throughout. Total sales par value
