STOCK MARKET
WAS STAGNANT
Demand is Slight and offerings
Insignificant
NO SELLING PRESSURE
Rumors of Rate Cutting on Grain ana
Of Strike In Soft Coal
Fields Have No
Effect.

New York, February 15.-The stock
market today marked time and at inter-
walls came to a halt. But slight as was
the demand for stocks it was sufficient
to maintain prices, as the offerings were
entirely insignificant. There was no sign
of liquidation, nor did the professional
traders venture to take the short side
of the market in spite of the stagnant
condition of the trading, a condition that
fessional bears.
There was nothing in the days news
that seemed to have any influence upon
the market beyond the negative influence
of the relief felt at the absence of selling
pressure. The special demand from Bal
teracted the currency movement to New
York Is expected to continue this week,
some estimates of the probable ship
ments to be made this week running to
improbable figures.
The coming Panama canal payment, and
the continued temporary borrowing by
railroads which reserves a greater or less
addition every day, the abstract Of the
loans of the National banks throughout
the country, as of January 90 shows
some comparisons with the condition on
November II, the period of the last call
by the comptroller, which help to explain
this confidence.
While the total of loans for that period
has increased some 100000 the reports
of New York clearing house banks by
10 LOT
increase of $7S,0O0OOO
II thus appears that the enormous in
crease which was noted in the New York
bank loans during that time and which
has gone still further since then, was ac-
companied by an actual shrinkage in the
loan account of other national banks.
The aggregate reserves of the country
have Increased about s94. 900 Co., while the
New York reserves expanded $57,00O,000.
The small loan expansion shown by
the Saturday bank statement is also in
terpreted as showing that the large cor
poration borrowings which have made so
pretentious an impression were largely
provided for in the previous loan expan-
sion. Reports were current that an
a greement had been reached between the
largest Individual holders of New York
Central stock to pool the stock and
withhold 1t from the market and the
shorts In the stock were made uneasy
thereby.
Reports of rate cutting on grain, the
failure of railroad earnings to show i'm
and rumors of a coming strike
In the soft coal fields, were equally with
out effect. The closing was firm but
nearly stagnant.
The days business was the smallest in
nearly four years.
The bond market was also exceptionally
dull and the tone was steady. Total
sales, par value. $l,21S.50o; United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

In Liverpool was said to be selling for
account of American presumably to undo
straddles. Manchester advices indicate
a healthier tone In cloths and with any
display of steadiness In the future de-
partment business, spots would be stimu
lated. The information that comes from
the seat of war in the far east is de-
cidedly limited and of an unsatisfactory
tenor and unquestionably much of 1t is
difficult to accept as correct. On this
side, continued liquidation which during
the early hours supplied the requirements
later In the day met with little demand
resulting In a decline of some moment.
Confidence is thoroughly restored and the
near positions do not present the same
dangerous aspect as prior to the recent
severe break. Unauestionably it is two
sided market and until the apathy at
present noticeable in the spot department
disappears or the predicted perpendicular
drop in the receipts occurs any attempt
TO unduly initiate prices will meet with
resistance. The receipts and the demand
for spots will be the governing influences
