THE MARKET WAS SPOTTY..

NEW YORK, February 5.-Commer-

cablegram:
change here was restricted to-day the
tone was cheerful and prices were
pretty strong. 4
The American department attracted
the most interest and the market for
its shares was strong throughout, in
spite of the fact that business was
greatly interfered with by the inter
ruption for three hours of the cable.
This trouble was due to the storm.
Buying was very free. The Erie shares
and the Atchisons were in great de-
mand. There was some selling to real
ize in the Southern and Union Pacific
issues. Berlin was buying Canadian
Pacific confidently all day.
Bar gold to the extent of 94S,000
was bought by the bank.
Money was easier. Call loans were
down to 3 per cent. and time money to
39 per cent. Discounts were 81 to
3B per cent. Opinion here is divided
on the question of the reduction of the
bank rate, although advices that gold
will soon be coming from New York
strengthened the expectation of a cut.

STOCKS-TO-day's market was very
active and ended the day generally
higher. but prices of stocks went
through many variations in the II
of the trading. The market was ex-
tremely spotty throughout but the con-
slant cropping out OF new and aggres-
sive points Of strength served to over
come the disposition to sell on the
part of tinid holders Of long stock as
well as by the bear traders who were
disposed to aggressive tactics early in
the day. The opening bulge in prices
met with a decidedly disc0uraging re-
ception and some Of the leading stocks
on the list were carried below last
nights level until the heavy burden
OF profit takings sales and operations
by the bears. Yesterdays leaders in
the speculative advance, including
Louisville & Nashville, Atchison Tn
ion Pacific and Rock Island, were all
carried below last nights level and
the dropping tendency of Southern Pa
cific became more manifest. With
weakness in these important stocks af-
ter yesterdays large buying in them
for speculation the whole market ne
cessarily made some response and the
earlier gains elsewhere were largely
curtailed. The steel stocks showed
themselves not so yielding as those in
other portions of the list and when the
force Of the selling movement had eX-
pended itself the recovery in the steel
stocks was an important influence on
the markets. Buying was credited to
insiders and there was a recurrence
OF recent rumoTs of a coming whole
sale consolidation of the great corpora
tons in the trade. The opening rise
in the southwesterns was not so well
maintained although Missouri Pacific
made a strong recovery later, rising
TO 81 q, and the Wabash securities were
very largely bought. 1t was rumored
that Chicago and Eastern Illinois had
passed TO the control of Missouri Paci-
fc or st. Louis Southwestern and the
lately prevalent rumors of a general
consolidation of the Southwestern rail-
way systems still reckoned their force
| nthe speculation. Chicago & East
ern Illinois rose 5A and the preferred
~. A squirt of 31s in Tobacco about
midday was a feature.
There were a very large number of
stocks OF samller railroads which ad-
vanced sharply under the prevailing
impression that absorption of such
roads by the larger railroad systems is
the order of the day. Hooking Valley
rose AS; do. preferred ga; Pere Mar
quette 5; Minneapolis & st. Louis 21a;
Evansville & Terre Haute 5; Lake Erie
q Western 2, and quite an extended list
from l to 2 points. The most import
ant movement of the day was in the
later dealings Of the day when the
coalers and Pennsylvania developed
sudden and aggressive strength. after
showing symptoms of heaviness ear
