THE STOCK MARKET DULL
Ira ling Wholly Professional and
Price Changes Limited.
Sagging Tendency Of the Market
Bank Loss i'm Dealings With the
Expectation of Gold Remote
Qucstion-stntement OF Hni:wnys.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-This was the
dullest day OF dull week in the stock
market. 1t might have been supposed that
the mornings news, including the passage
by the Senate of the Finance bill, and the
decisive British achievement in South Afri-
ca would have tended to invigorate specd-
lative sentiment, but the effect Of both in
fiuencos wore out in the initial dealings.
Subsequently the trading became wholly
limited and irregular.
In the main the market had sagsHs
tendency, but the losses in the standard
issues were, for the most part, fractional
Ii was apparently the case that apprehen-
sions regarding tomorrow's bank state
ment caused the bulk Of the room traders
to take the bear side OF the account. and
their position was based upon the fact that
since Friday the banks have lost over
81 000, zoe in their dealings with the Sub
treasury.
This circumstance was not reelected in
the money market, which remained on yes
terday's mean level, and. indeed. 'tcre
were exceptionally large offerings Of money
but the most trustworthy foreign bankers
expressed the opinion that the question of
expectations OF gold was rsmote one,
even in the event of the formulation Of the
plans of the British Government for iadnc-
ing the war in South Africa.
A few statements Of railway earnings for
various periods were submitted. and fur
nished about the only other news of aay
consequence. The only exception - the
general tendency of the market WIS Sugar
Refining and Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western.
The dealings in the fist-namei were
governed, as they have been since jan
uary, by the varying conjectures regarding
the rate of dividend TO be declared three
weeks hence, but while opinion seems to
be toward reduction in the rate. it would
appear that the short account in the stock
is not unwilling to increase its commit
ments, but is DESTROYS of reducing them.
The advance in Lackawanna was at
tended by assertions in regard to the
showing to be made in the company's an
nual report. The rather extensive move
ments that were noted in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. Metropolitan Street Railway.
Tennessee Coal and Iron. and United
States Leather appeared to reflect nothing
more than technical speculative circum-
stances. The days market. in fact. re-
fected little else, and the results at the
close of business were wanting in other
Significance than could be derived there
from.

The passage of the Currency bill by the
Senate had no effect on the market what
ever yesterday unless IL may be suppos I'd
that an accentuation Of the recent dullncss
was due TO it, There had been much
theor!zing over the effect of the passage cf
the bill some believing that it would Gauge
a boom 10 prices and some that ii would be
followed by such heavy realizing that a
Flump would occur. but there were few If
any that thought the duh market would
continue. Business during the entire ses-
sion yesterday was not more than half what
II was during the brisk days week ago
and although there were net losses In
nearly all securities. they We're small except
In one or two of the srecialties. The
street is somewhat at sea over the situa-
ton, which does not fit into the views o.
either the bulls or the bears, but on the
theory that IT is never well to sell dull
market many conservative people are ad-
vising tire purchase of stocks on the de-
clines Intrinsic conditions are very nearly
perfect, and whatever may be the surface
fluctuations for the next day or two IL
seems certain that the next important
movement will be upward. II may he men
toned that although there is some talk OF
higher money rates in the near future, yes
teTday's rates were as cheap as they have
been at any time since last May. During
the entire afternoon large sums were Of
fered at per cent. The bank statement
today will not show any increase OF cash.
according to the experts" but these gen
tlcmen have made mistakes regarding the
statement in times past. and it does not
seem in the least certain that they are
right this time.

LONDON. Feb. I6.-The stock market

Kimberley had been relieved. Since the

tion and consols, which had advanced

The subsequent fall in Consols is ascrib-

interpreted as sounding an alarm over the
Russian movement in Afghanistan.
