This strong demand for spots, which has existed for weeks, may at any moment become curtailed, as spinners might fall back on their reserve supply and meanwhile the movement on its face points to a crop of 10, s3o, 900 compared with last year and to a crop of 10, 992.

WALL STREET REVIEW
INCREASE IN BUSINESS ON SELL ,,+ ING SIDE.
Causes a Further Recession in the Level of Prices-Supporting Movement in the Fries in
 the Final Hour.

NEW YORK, Feb. I3.-The increase in busi- ness on the Stock Exchange today was mostly on tne selling side and caused further re- cession in the level of prices. The market ng or stock was pretty constant until support ths movement in the Fries during the hnal nour. support was evident at the same tlme m some of the other Morgan stocks, notably Reading and Southern Railway, the latter r,s- lng fraction over Wednesday. The senti- mental effect of this support was little more than to check the selling elsewhere. The buy ing Of the Fries themselves was followed up and the closing was dull and heavy; The sell ing or the Eiie on a very large scale from the outset, Londcn joining in the move ment Extreme declines were effected in the common stock of 2k, in the first preferred or 2& and in the second preferred 3$. The te ms or the new issue of bonds were disappo. .nting' put there was also selling by speculative hold CTS Who had bought with the Idea that some new disposition of the whole property was in- yolved. Some sort of capital issue by the Erie has been understood to be on the pro gram for several years past. The prospect or increased earnings by reason of the outlay or the possible rights to subscription by stock holders at the issue price of 97A did not prove sufficiently attractive to prevent very heavy realizing on the recent advance. The stocks were particularly unsupported until the last hour. The sympathetic effect on the general list was considerable and the active specula- tive leaders were very generally point or more below Wednesdays level at one time during the day. The concentrated selling Of some or the recent speculative favorites pointed to enormous realizing on the part of some Of the speculative pools. There were some evidences
 
 the circulat on of rumors of the serious ill., ness of prominent operator who is supposed to have important market interests committed to his guardianship. The rally in the last hour was helped by the preliminary figures of the weeks currency movement, which indicate net gain in cash by the banks dur .ng the week up to Wednesday night of over a million dol lars Earlier in the day the sentiment over the money situation was dominated by the further considerable rise in sterling exchange practically to the gold export. allowing for yesterdays reaction in sterling at Paris FIX change authorities affirm that If fast steam ship were sailing to Europe she would carry a consignment of gold. There will be no fast ship to sail until next week, but a probability of gold exports is indicated. Money Is grow ing tighter in London and the selling of stocks here today for that account was large and was a material factor in the strengthening of ex- change.
