Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 1.-THE present
Indications are that Sioux Falls. in the
absence Of an electric street railway sys-

rapid transit systems in the country.
Some time ago there was talk of placing

WALL STREET REVIEW.
AN INCREASING TENDENCY TOWARD DULLNESS.
Readiness to Support Market in Case of Break Counterbalanced by Disposition to Keep Advances
 Within Moderate Limits.

NEW YORK, Oct 2.--There was an increas- ing tendency to dulness in the stock market times. There was obvious readiness backed by powerful resources to support the market at any indication of a break in prices, such as occurred at the opening, but there was an equally obvious disposition to keep advances within moderate Hints and not induce any re- newed outbreak of extensive speculation The adoption of this policy in stock market op- eratons by well equipped forces served to reinforce the admonishing policy of the banks funds until after the money outlook has cleared up entirely. The desire to await the result result or S t9morrows conference t, or coal 9p, President Roosevelt was also a restraining in fuence on speculation. As a consequence speculation fattened out almost completely and this development was regarded with gen. uine relief and satisfaction by the best opinion in the financial world. It Is realized that the relief offered to the money market by Sec retary Shaws action averted crisis that promised to become dangerous and the de- sources thus provided to be prodigally used for the purpase of renewed speculative infa opments to show also that there are abundant requirements upon New York money resources yet to be met and that some of the possible sources of relief has been shut on for the pres ent by the possession of the additional faci- ties afforded by the release of reserves against the today of s4so ooo for tee graphic transfer to New Orleans and the move ment of currency by express Is against New
 
 of England minimum discount rate and the weekly exhibit of that institution and Of the Bank of France clear indications that TO gold is likely to be spared by either of those institutions at present for shipment to New York. Sterling exchange advanced sharply here and later decline due purely to the fact of the postponement of the sailing oE to- morrows steamship for Liverpool. The loss in gold by the Bank of England this week reached over S7. $40. 900 and that of the Bank of France some S4 72o 900. The English insti- tuition expanded its loan account s27. 675. 900, bringing the proportion of reserve to liablty down to A. 63 per cent compared with 50 S7 per cent last week. while the French bank increased its note issues SPA. 1 20. 900 and its loans S34. 65, 900. Such movement as there was today in the market was confined to few stocks. Advance in Norfolk and Western expectation of an increased dividend caused a sympathetic response In the Penn sylvania group and rise in Colorado Fuel was ostensibly based upon the decree of a Colorado Court providing for the holding of the annual election. Some of the independent steel stocks followed this movement The few gains much curtailed and last prices showed mixed net changes.
 The course of the bond market was halting and irregular. Total sales (par valuel, S3:- 552. 900. United States new As declined k per cent. on the last call.
