STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb. 90--There seemed 10
be a waiting market on all declines in
stocks. The principal pressure upon the
market came from foreign sources. This
was well absorbed and prices were at
no time down TO the Loadon parity. The
sentimental effect Of the decided upset
in the Paris and Berlin oourses WAS very
slight. The severe declines on the Paris
Bourse are attributed 10 financial news
caused by the shrinkage in Russian Sc
curities which are a poor scale at the
present time so that necessities must be
met BY sale of other securities The spe-
cial weakness OF state funds in Paris
might, however. be due TO intimate know
ledge OF diplomatic affairs. The favorable
bank statement was a help to the resis-
tence to depression here. The 1914, 400
increase in cash was not unexpected and
Is attributed to d return of money from
the south. where the collapse in cotton
speculation has decreased the immediate
need Some of the money sent to Bal
timore is believed also TO have come
back The loan decrease is evidence that
the corporation borrowings have been
largely supplied out of the previous loan
expansion. II is probable also that the
proceeds Of railroads loans are left on
deposits with the banks pending the need
for employing the funds which are avail
able TO the loan market in the meantime.
The market closed about steady and
not far from last nights level
Bonds were steady and closed unchang-
ed.
Quotations were as fellows:

lation in the
Interest Of the Carriers

the letters were addressed pledge
themselves to vote for legislation.
President Cunningham, who was
dismissed Tuesday, and Secretary

thorities, framed the circular and
Tumber signed it as secretary, and
issued it. Aldrich was one of the ex-
.ecutive committee which agreed on
the work which was subsequently
carried out. A number of the letters
sent out are in possession of the Of
ficials of the postoffice department.

yet been decided.
