STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, JAM. 1S.-There was con-
tinued lack of animation in the stock
market today and the dealings were
palpably in the hands of professional
traders. This element was bearish in
it's opinion on the outlook and sold
stocks quite freely throughout the day.
The level Of prices was carried generally
from / to 2 points under last weeks
close. No large amount of liquidation
was brought out by this considerable
decline, and there was a movement to
cover shorts late in the day. causing a
rally of point or over in some of the
most prominent stocks, but this recovery
was practically all lost again before the
closing, which was extremely dull and
heavy There was no striking news of
character unfavorable to values, but
it was very obvious that any important
organized attempt to lift the market has
been abandoned for the present The
speculative element has been indulging
the hope that the great capitalists and
syndicates who have on their hands the

| from the combinations and new forma-
| tions of last year were about TO put forth
a determined effort to lead a bull specu-
lation, with the intention OF making
market for their securities. No sign Of
any such attempt has appeared in the
publication last week of the quarterly
report of earnings by the United States
Steel Corporation. Hope Of such leader
ship was still further discouraged by ru-
mors of the illness of the market opera
tor ntrusted with the care and manipu-
lation of those stocks, and by reports
OF unloading in his interest. More tan
gible grounds of depression were found in
the formal offer of $50, 100000 of Atchi
son debenture bonds to reimburse the
company for certain OUTLAWS, including
acquired lines and equipment, which
Wall Street has assumed had been or
would be provided for otherwise. Re
ports of very large projected OUTLAWS for
betterments by Union Pacific emphasized
this influence. The permission granted
by the United States Supreme court for
the State of Minnesota to argue on its
petition to bring suit for the annulment
OF the formation of the Northern Sc
curities Company, although its force was
little understood had chilling effect on
speculation owing to it's promise OF
prolonged legal struggle, and delay in the
fiotation of the company's securities.
The financial world continued to ponder
the revelations of over-extended credit
in the cases of the Trolley Syndicate and
in the Rubber and Asphalt trades, which
carry suggestions of other possible COM
mitment of capital, which would help
to explain the great falling off in de-
mand for the securities listed on the
Stock Exchange Money was slightly
firmer today, and sterling exchange was
no higher. but exports of gold are ex
pected to be made this week. There is
a growing feeling that even when money
does accumulate at this centre it may
not serve to stimulate speculation in the
prevailing spirit of sceptism in the value
of securities at present price levels.
The shading of prices of Copper led the
raid in the late dealing in Amalgamated
Copper, which helped to unsettle the
close. Exceptional movements were
made by Lackawanna, which rose Az

New York, jan 13.-The cotton market

crop estimate. The opening figures. how
ever, proved to be the best of the day
as a general movement OF holders to
secure profits and a quick abatement of
shorts fear, caused the whole market
TO slowly react. Positive weakness de-
veloped at midday and continued pretty
much to the close. Europe's shorts ran
TO cover on Wilson's crop estimate of
9,445,000 bales and sent Liverpool up TO
3 to az points by SO doing. This tenn
porarily frightened shorts here, though
as a general thing very little stock
was taken in the crop estimate above
mentioned. Soon after the call heavy
selling for profits sent prices off 5 points
rapidly. and after a slight rally the
market turned weak and at midday was
