New York, January 90. This morn
ina's news from south Africa was OF sucn
a nature ss TO cause the professional els-
msnt to believe that q considerable break
might occur. This belief resolved some
SUPPORT from the fact that quotations
from London showed an average lois OF
something like three-fourths psr cent
and consols declined full point conse-
auently during the hrst nftsen minutes
not only was London q fairly large seller.
but the professional element was notably
active on the bear side. However, 1t soon
became apparent that the selling was oon-
fined to these two sections and that COM
mission houses, although doing very lit
sls, quickly changed their opinion and a
fairly good rally ensued. Tue total Lon
aon sales probably did not exceed 10000
shares and this was In spite Of tbs fact
that tho difference between prices hsre
and there ranged from three -eighths to
fivs-sighths per cent. 1hs explanation u
that the London market is extrsmsly mar
row and such a fesling Of nervousness
and anxiety has bean created over there
by oonsso uenoe of the recent British re-
verses that neither the public nor the jot-
bers are disro Jed TO trade.
Third avenue displayed weakness early
on o story that the details for the relief
Of the company had not yet been decided
on. 1t Is ttlll said that the Issue Of short
time notes Is In contemplation. IL Ia
surmised that q good deal Of the recent
selling has been by people who expected
to have thess options offered to them.
Metropolitan and Manhattan were notably
strong on PERSISTENT rumors to the effect
that MIR. Mao Donald would not be able
10 secure the bonds which are required by
Law. The strength of sugar was due TO
the advance made In the price Of the re-
fined article by the company which ad-
vance was also made ly the Doscher com
.pany, although the Arbuckles have not
SO far followed suit. The other two out
side reIneries are not in the market at
present. Expectations of q dividend at
the rate OF six per cent was the cause of
the advance In American steel aud wire.
Considerable realization MADE Its appear
ance above fifty daring the afternoon
stagnstion became the main feature.
The money market continues easy, bot
there Ia a marked discrimination in the
matter OF collateral. In fact as far as
tip,e leans are con cerned better terms to
the extent of one per cent can be made
when the collateral consists wholly Of
railroad stocks than when there is So per
cent industrial. whilst in case Of loans
consisting wholly of industrlals the
charge is one per cent higher and In some
cases ever greater difference is made.
