Particularly interesting was last
nights meeting Of the Historical Society.
Much of the interest centered about cor
rcspondcnco between James A. Bayard

contained i'm publication issued by the
New York Library and was printed from
Mr.. Bayard's letter book, which was pre-
scented To- the New York Library by Will

The opening II the Stock Market this
morning was again g surprise, Is far
as the Steel securities were concerned
The fake stories yesterday afternoon that
the Steel deal negotiations were of caus-
ed a very sharp break in these stocks, but
il is hardly thought possible that the de-
NAL of these bear stories would be so i'm
medIately potent il the other direction as
il proved Wire, common stock, recovered
TO the high price OF yesterday in the first
transactions of the day, and Federal Steel,
common. although not quite SO buoyant,
was also well above the closing price Of
yesterday The general M rket too during
the FIRST hour made good gains. Later
there we're natural reactions all over the

ket should be considered satisfactory to
the bulls Il demonstrates the very i'm

NEW YORK Feb. $40 appearances Of
the practical decentralization which pre-
vailed in the Stock Market at the close of
business yesterday were apparent upon the
opening this morning The whole list re
covered sharply in the initial dealings, the
steel stocks and particularly American Z Il
Plate. being the leaders in this respect.
All OF the more reliable newspapers this
morning reported the negotiations for the
purchase of the Carnegie interests as
progressing favorably and these statements
put an end to the apprehensions that yes
terday's break in these stocks might have
implied some hitch in the negotiations.
Federal Steel American Steel and Wire.
and the other stocks OF the same general
class were actively dealt in al advancing
prices.
In the railway list, the features were
st. Paul, Northern Pacific. and Union Pa
ciic. all of which advanced on large trans
actions The Erie issues and the Read
ings were dealt in at or above yesterdays
! final level.
The Granger shares aside from St. Paul
were somewhat depressed.
The local traction group was almost al
together neglected in the early dealings.
London furnished somewhat higher
range of prices for American stocks, al
! though in the early dealings very marked
weakness was shown. Foreign houses con-
tiuued 20 buy here upon the opening Of
/ business. Attention seemed 10 be almost
wholly centred upon the negotiations in
the steel trade and little aside from them
entered into discussion. There was, more
over. an absence of news OF general i'm
portance over night
