> New York, Jan. 26.-The record of the
day on the Stock Exchange was a repeti-
ton of yesterday in inertia. but prices
went down instead of up, as was the case
yesterday The retirement of she British
from Spon kop had as little influence as
did the previous days news of the sue
cess there. Opening prices showed sharp
declines, international stocks being quoted
al about the London parity The weak
ness in London induced no selling here
however. and the local traders were dis
posed to buy the stocks offered for Lon
don account, in the same way that they
sold yesterday to meet the London de-
mand.
No attempt was apparent 10 bid up
prices, as the local dealers seemed con-
tent to take the offerings at the London
level of prices. The sales for London ac-
count were estimated a something over
10000 very evenly distributed among the
various International stocks. This con-
stituted the bulk of the days business in
railroad stocks, and prices in that depart
ment never got far from the opening level.
Much the greater portion of the days
small business was in the speculative in

Returns by the leading banks Of the cur
rency movement for the week Indicate that
the net receipts for the interior by express
have been but slightly less than last week,
but the gains on sub-treasury operations
were little more than half those of last
week owing to diminished pension dis
bursements and continued heavy revenue
receipts. The total gain in cash for the
banks is estimated at near $1,000 900. 1t
is evident that Stock Exchange operations
have made no demands on the loan
accounts of the banks. But the placing of
time loans and the buying of mercantile
paper may nave further expanded loan ac-
counts.
The sales of New YORK city bonds during
the week may also be reflected in the loan
account.

towards dunness. and the tone was rather

shipping men believe that the prospects
of an early movement of cotton will be
the means of bringing more steamships
to the port shortly. There are fewer
steamships in port at present than is us
ual for this time of year. This is proba-
bly, due to the fact that cotton has been
very slow in moving, owing to the holding
back for better prices.
