CONFUSED AND IRREGULAR
Bank Statement Has Its CustOmar,
Depressing Effect.

New York, Feb. 15.--The opening move
ment or prices was confused and irregular
and the dealings were small and narrowly
distributed. Metropolitan Street Railway ad-
yanced by fractional steps 13s over last night
and Manhattan gained rs. Brooklyn Tran
sit declined a fraction. There were no other
features of note. Metropolitan Street Rail
ways advance brought out large offerings
and the price broke TO 21s under yesterdays
close. Other prominent stocks relapsed quite
generally below last night, st. Paul, Union
Paclfc and Pennsylvania losing large frac-
tons. Manhattan lost its rise and there was
also point decline in Brooklyn Transit, New
York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Colorado
q Southern first preferred and Associated
Merchants first preferred, New York, Chicago
& st. Louis second preferred fell 2A. Shortly
before IL O'Clock Amalgamated spurted up 1%,
to 69N, without benehting the general market.
After some further declines the market raj
lied under the influences of recovery to ITO
in Metropolitan. The bank statement weak
ened the market again. Declines reached 1@2
points in Union Pacific, Illinois Central, Della
ware & Hudson, Canada Southern, Iowa Cen
trail preferred Chicago & Eastern Illinois,
General Electric, Consolidated Gas and Amer
lean Express. Metropolitan resisted the srcac-
ton and rose again strongly to 17lR, and
Amalgamated Copper advanced to 70k Shorts
covered and rallied the market. Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern rose points on
three sales The closing was active and firm
at the rally.

INVESTMENT GOSSIP

One thousand shares Northern Securities
sold to-day at 105!s to 1857.
New York to Thomas & Co.-The week has
seen very little increase in public interest
in the stock market, although there has been
widening of activity among the heavy in
vestors in both bonds and stocks. The bank
statement to-day was a distinct disappont-
ment; but the action of the market shows
that the best posted interests do not take it
seriously. The fact that loans have in
creased by>some s65, 100000 during the last
three weeks shows that important financial
deals have been adjusted. A large share of
the money was in settlement of the European
loans made during the Northern Pacific con-
troversy last May. 1t is believed that to-
days bad bank statement will be the last
bad one that will be seen for some time.
New York to Whallon-It is thought that
insiders in Metropolitan have withdrawn sup
port temporarily to force liquidation of spec
ulative stock. Manhattan comparatively
strong on good statement. Different pools
seem to be doing little.
New York to Lewis-The bank statement is
a decided disappointment. Loans increased
$50, 100000 in three weeks.
Metropolitan security is quoted ITO when is
sued. Rights six.
New York to Watson-The bank statement
while better than last week appears to us
rather neutral considering known proportion
for syndicate operations; Increase in loans
not excessive and at all events money con-
tinues very easy.
Waldorf stock gossip to Watson: Market
views and price movement show the bulls
have the whiphand, traders say tonight, and
the feeling is that they will keep it for some
time. Manipulation puts stocks up easily and
advances meet but moderate offerings. While
it is true the public still holds aloof, the
judgment of experienced spectators is that
the manipulation referred to is we'll calculated
to bring it in, as it is giving proof con-
stantly that good railroads are safe to buy
on all such reactions that of yesterday
and this morning. The fact that the Standard
Oil people are again talking bearish is much
commented on and it is thought to speak well
for the market that it holds it's strength
despite their opposition. No we'll informed
observer doubts that there is acontest in the
current speculation between the so-called
Standard Oil crowd and their followers on
the one hand and Morgan and Keene and
their friends the other.
