In regard to our editorial in
last weeks paper concerning the
new paper to be started here by
Messrs. Smith & Bilbo, we wish
to say that We were in error in
stating that it would be run ex-
clusively' on the credit plan. The
remark made by Mr.. Smith that
they would credit subscriptions
one year, led to our statement
last week; but Mr.. Bilbo informed
US that the credit spoken of only
applied to those who lost money
on the Enterprise, started here
last year, and was only to inspire
confidence in such persons, and
that the policy of the paper would
be cash. We are always ready
to correct any errors, in justice
to each any every one, hence the
above correction.

STOCK MARKET
 AGAIN NARROW
The Trading Interest Was Slight
 Iy Increased.
MANY RUMORS WERE RIFE
First Part of the Month Brought Heavy Disbursements from Treasury on Account of Pension Payments
 Keeping Down Surplus

New York, January 27.-The stock market was narrow and professional today, but re- flected some slightly increased interest, and prices showed some response to new de- velopmemts. Quite an active speculation developed in Third Avenue, which was fev- ersh at a level extending to GA points below last night. Rumors were rife touching the plans for financing the floating debt of this company, and denaals followed quickly on rIMnors.
 The market was disposed to resist this in- fiueBce and hardened the specialties lead ing in point of activity and strength.
 The rather cheerful tone of the weekly trade review, the good railroad earnings for the third week in January and the expecta- tion of strong bank statement prompted buying.
 The first part of the month brought heavy disbursements from the United States treasury on account of pension payment which kept down the surplus, but current returns from the treasury show day to day surplus, owing ito heavy revenue collec- tions. The deposits of internal revenue col lectfons in national bank depositaries are also approaching the limits provided for by the government bonds deposited with the . treasury by the banks as security, after which the taking up of the surplus by the treasury would be resumed In the case of the London money market the bank of Eng land has to tide over the annual settlement period of liberal loans is now recuperatlng its reserves and receiving large payments of loans Although the bank rate has been reduced from to per cent. since the first of the year, it is still nearly 1 per cent. above the private discount rate, and thus encourages continued paying of loans. The future of the London money market de- bends much upon whether the Bank of Englands policy of recuperation is in preparation for government loan issues to provide for war expenses-an event which would probably draw gold from New York.
 Bonds were held with firm undertone at the close, eliminating any tendency of earider weakness.
