NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The dealings il
stocks today were the smallest in more
than year, and the changes in prices were
unimportant, save in one or two instances
The tendency of stocks. however, was to-
ward a lower level.
An extremely favorable bank statement
was without effect, and the market closed
dun and heavy. The feature Of the state
ment was an increase OF ss.S44.300 in cash,
bringing the cash holdings OF the banks up
TO 1924, 400. 500, as against s254,6i1, 400 a
year ago. BY far the greater part of the
gain in cash was from the interior move
ment of money. showing that funds are
flowing TO this centre in undiminished
volume.
Money is becoming easier throughout the
country, and abundance of funds for
speculative purposes is promised for an in
definite period. Not much money is now
tied up in the crops, and commercial needs
are considerably reduced. An expansion of
S,5l5 600 in loans was accounted for chiefly
by the enlarged tranactions in bonds
An increase of 15.ooS, 900 in deposits was
from the cash received from out of town,
Government receipts, and credits against
loans. The surplus reserve was increased
s5,092, 800, to SIS, 277,975, as against $780,
232, OPS at this time last year.
In ordinary circumstances a bank state
ment of such a character as today's would
have stimulated trading and improved
values. The fact that little attention was
paid 10 il proved that spectators were de-
TERED by special considerations from ac-
tive operations in stocks. For one thing,
IN
more decisive events In South Africa. Since
the news of the abandonment of Spion Kop
by the British the relaxation in funds in
London and other European centres has
ceased, and uncertainty as 10 the future OF
rates exists. The tone Of sterling exchange
is distinctly firmer but there is nothing
as yet to lead TO the expectation of a re-
sumption of gold exports.
The prolongation of the war may result
in call by London on New York for more
gold, but should gold be called for it could
easily be spared.
There were rather large offerings OF
Third Avenue Railroad stock today. with
q sharp fall in the price. 1t was denied
that there was any hitch in the arrange
ments for the readjustment of the finances
of the company. The needs of the COM
pany are to be determined by an expert ex-
animation of its affairs which is now in
progress and which, it is stated, viii be
completed in about a week.
The report of the Chicago. Milwaukee, |
and ST. Paul Railway for December was
issued and showed an increase of SOL 21 In |
gross earnings, but a decrease of sl6S, S35 |
In net earnings. Coupled with the belief |
that the report of the Burlington and |
Quincy road for the same month would not |
be a favorable exhibit, the effect on the |
so-called granger stocks was somewhat de- |
pressing The reason for the decreased net |
return by the st. Paul was known to be
large expenditures by the company on the |
road which were charged to operations.
American Steel and Wire stock was strong |
in anticipation Of the declaration Of div
idepd on Monday.

PULLMAN COMPANY SETTLES.
a Payment OF $1,000 To Edward
Wharton for Lost Jewelry.

An interesting case has just been set
tied in the Supreme Court OF the District
of Columbia Last year. Mr.. Edward r.
Wharton. of New York and Newport wis
was spending the winter months in Wash
ing ton. was robbed OF several valuable
rings while asleep in a Pullman sleeping
car.
Through his attorneys. Messrs. Berry &
Minor. he brought suit on the ground OF
negligence against the company for their
value, estimated at $40. The case had
been set for trial for January %, but was
dismissed yesterday, the Pullman Company
having paid MIR. Wharton 81 600 by way of
compromise.
1t is believed that this is the largest
sum ever recovered from the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company for the loss of jewelry.
Heretofore the company has strenously de-
MED any liability for the loss Of valuables
Of this kind.

doubtedly has had some effect when taken
with other causes. but il Is not chief
factor. The public that might buy stocks
at this time has lost all OF its money or
is still hanging to stocks bought at higher
prices too much tied up TO buy more. The
important interests, the Nanderbilts, the
Rockefellers. the syndicate people that are
graoc-'siir securing control 81 he railways
Of the country, are already heavy sellers
of securities, and they continue to buy
conservatively. Every day purchases are
made for them. These interests do not
want boom. They know that prices are
certain to advance to a much higher level
during the coming months, and they know
also that the worst possibility in the sit
uation is the immense enthusiasm of the
new people that would come in on an
other boom. The market. however, is
very strong. The important people want
another slump in prices even less than
they desire boom. OF the two evils"
they would undoubtedly choose the boom.
The result of these conditions has been a
waiting market" quite remarkable in its
duration and persistence Prices do not
go up, but much more they do not go
down. The fractional changes from week
