REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange, Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York. Feb. 10 The dropping
S tendency OF prices proved too much to
he overcome. and the majority Of stocks
show net losses on the day. In the
standard stocks these losses arc small
but the decline from the early high
range was considerable. The opening
was above last nights level, i'll sym
pathy with London, but even i'll the ini-
tial transactions the weakness of the
local traction stocks and OF Pacific Mall
served to unScttlc the market. Prices
Jagged pretty steadily from that time
until the bear operators among the
room traders started to cover their
short contracts in the final dealings.
This rallied the level OF the market
from the lowest. but the movement was
listless and entirely without force. Lon
don was not encouraged by its good
news from South Africa to buy stocks
here, and, in fact, sagged in the home
market Consols lost all of their early
gain, supposedly on the immincnce of
q new issue. But London was disposed
to take profits at all points, even Rand
Mines showing II sharp reaction from
the early advance. There was no occa-
sion for surprise. therefore, that the
local market failed to hold the advance
OH the South African news. The bears
had not us much ammunition i'll the
shape OF the weakness Of special stocks
as they had yesterday, but the general
tone of the market was, nevertheless,
reactionary The bears made inroads
upon Pacific Mail and United States
Rubber, but otherwise no very wide
breaches were made in values. The To-
cal traction stocks were inclined TO rail-
~ with the cessation of pressure
against Third Avenue. Sugar was err
ratio during the carly part of the day,
but became firmer towards the close,
with considerable effect on the general
list
The general public maintained It's at
titude of apathy, which was the main
cause of the heaviness. Probably some
vague uneaSincSS Is beginning to be felt
also regarding the winter wheat crop,
because the ground is bare of snow,
leaving ii exposed to the cold. Accord
ing to reports from the leading banks,
shipments of money by express this
week are nearly u million dollars great
err than last week. while the receipts
from the interior by express have fallen
off considerably over Il million dollars.
This would Indicate n net loss on the
interior movement of nearly u mlliCSl
of dollars, bringing the total loss, in
GLIDING Sub-Treasury operations, over
$4,000 00 1t Is known that some gold
has been received from Canadn, which
does not figure in this estimate.
There was 4 good absorption of some
dormant railroad bonds ut advancing
prices but changes generally were ir-
regular. There was quite All active
market for Government bonds, prcsum-
ably on account of the passage of the
Refunding bill by the Senate.
Total sales of railroad bonds, par
value, $2,o25, 600.
