Market Grows Apathetic, Narrow
Marking Day.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The stock market
relapsed into a condition of apathy today
and dragged out a course OF narrow nnc-
Even the speculative combinations, which
made the activity of Monday and took the
their operations. This obvious fact was
accepted as al acknowledgment that the
efforts to attract outside interest in the
continues to puzzle itself with efforts to
explain this determined Indifference from
the outside public. One reason evidently
is the fear thai large holdings overhang
the market which came through the money
s~tringency of last fall with difficulty and
distress, leaving a desire on the part of
holders to tighten their load before the au-
tumn construction OF the market shall have
again set In. There. was no urgent pres
considerable advance. But this served to
confirm, II anything, the distrust that the
appearance of activity and strength re-
Gently has been due largely to manipulation
and the passing through the open market
from one hand to the other Of a large
spectators for the purposes of artificially
affecting prices. AS a result of today's re-
newed lethargy there were very few stocks
which covered a range equal to a full poiat
and the general level of the market was
alternately above and below that OF last
General Electric seemed to confirm the va
rious reports of the absorption of the
Stanley Electric company: The rise In
fact that the same interests are concerned
IN a settlement of the disposition of that
property as were in conference over the
electrical deal. There was an unexplained
rise of seven points in New York. Dock,
and substantial gains were made by the
Minneapolis, St Paul and Sault Ste Ma
rie stocks. The general market showed it
self quite Indifferent to these movements.
The late advance in the Erie stocks might
be supposed to have a more substantial in
fuence on the general sentiment. But this
also was quite ignored. There were au-
thoritative limitations hat an important
announcement was forthcoming regarding
the Erie finances, but no details were
learned before the close. This very lack
| OF specific information would have lncited
to activity in the market at a time when
any spark Of. speculative enthusiasm ex-
lists. There was nothing in the news of
the day to account for the dizziness. ster-
ling exchange continued to advance, but
this was neutralized by a further rise In
| Paris. Discounts hardened in London, but
the reduction in the official discount rate
by the imperial bank of Germany was re-
garded as evidence of a source of relief
for foreign money needs. There was no
change in the local monev situation. Call
loans advanced to 3 per cent late I'm the
day. This was attributed 10 the demand
Ito carry over the holiday. The market
closed moderately active and rather easy.
Bonds were irregular.
Total sales par value, 1885 900. United
States bonds were unchanged on the last
call.
