NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market Seems Bewildered, Backing
and Filling All Day.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Backing and filing
was the favortte term to express the condi-
fiected the same state of bewilderment that
has been evident in the speculative mind
for several days past. The trade was laser

prominent of these was Missouri Pacific,
which seemed to be effected by prevailing

Reading was advanced, and Southern Rail-
way, Atchison, Sugar and a few less con-
spicuous stocks had their period of
strength.
Although the earlier events of the week
were considered to demonstrate that there
was no immediate prospect of attracting
public interest to the market, the profess
SIGNALS show themselves exceedingly wary
of venturing to go short of the market.
Covering of some of the short lines put
out early was a factor in holding prices
firm in today's exceedingly dull market. d.
1he mystery attaching to Erie served to
intimidate the bears. The enormous volume

the continued rumors regarding II point to
some development going on. The apparent
policy TO pair out the anthracite coal prop
critics among the great trunk line powers,
as in the case of Reading, would point to
some plan regarding Erie. There Is faith
in the rumor regarding Wabash or Rock
Island or both to secure an Atlantic outlet
for the Erie.

the Louisville transfer was seen to express
an adverse opinion against the buying up
Of railroads over night and to show a par

for the insurance of control. But Mr..
/ Morgan has demonstrated In the case of
the Northern Pacific that he will adopt ex-
IRENE measures to prevent the wrestling OF
control from him of a property of the over
night class of purchasers. II the recent
Vigiity in Erie represented a contest in the
sudden passage of control from the domi-
nant Morgan interest or whether In the
progress of parcelling out the property
as i'm the case of Reading are two possible
contingencies that present themselves to
the conjectures OF Wall street.
There is every probability of a strong
bank statement tomorrow, as the yield to
the banks on sub-treasury operations of
$3,OS1, 900 has been supplemented by cur

The disposition of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-


CATTLE-There was only a small run of
cattle here today, and besides that the
quality was rather inferior. Packers,
though, took hold in good shape, and the
market ruled active from start to finish,
everything being disposed oil in good sea-
son.
The quality of the cornfed steers on sale
was poorer than on any provision day this
week, and In fact there was nothing Of
tered that could be called good. The mar
ket, though, could be quoted generally
about steady, although buyers were not
particularly anxious Tor the kinds that
were offered.
The COW market was quite brisk and the
prices paid were a little stronger than
yesterday. The demand seemed to be ac-
tive for Gamers and cutters. as well as
for the better grades, and the cattle began
moving toward the scales at an early hour.
The big bulk of the receipts consisted of
COW stun, but the supply was none too
large to meet the demand and the pens
were cleared in good season.
Bulls, veal calves and stays were all
easy to dispose of at yesterdays prices.
There was not much change in the
stocker and feeder situation. supplies were
very light and so also was the demand.
As noted yesterday, country buyers are
all looking tor the cattle of good quality,
so that the inferior grades are almost un-
salable. The market yesterday took a big
drop on the common kinds, and the few
that arrived today were again extremely
slow sale at still lower prices. Representa-
