The Features Of the Money and Stock
Markets.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1T-AttentlOn to-
day centered almost wholly on the
weekly statement of the clearing house
banks. The public continued to hold
aloof from the market. and buying and
selling were entirely in the hands Of
professional traders. These were in
cllned to the short side OF the market
in anticipation OF the weak bank re-

operations for the week, by the course
Of New York exchange at other domes-
