STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 1.-AH Of the interest
in todays stock market centered in a
handful of active issues which were moved
by considerations special TO themselves
and having no hearing on general tnan-
cial of other conditions. Dealings were
insignificant and changes were almost
null. The condition Of banking accounts
and the expectation of a check to the
accumulation of reserves in New York
is accepted as a warning that the period
for stimulating activity by speculative
operations had about passed. The por-
tentous figure reached by the loan ac-
count Of the banks is in itself calculated
TO exercise an intimidation effect on
speculative operators in stocks. The
sources of all this borrowing continues
to cause puzzled conjectures. The trans
fer of lines from trust companies to
banks borrowing on sterling collateral
which should be an incident of placing
loans in Europe and the holding of bond
issues awaiting market, are all offered
as part explanation. but altogether seem
ing insufficient to appease the sense Of
doubt caused by the figures. IL is sug
gested that there must be a large flowing
indebtedness carried by railroad and
other corporations awaiting a favorable
opportunity in the securities market to
be changed to funded form. The con-
tinued wildness of the cotton speculation
is a subject of real misgiving and the
higher cotton prices go the more appre-
hensiOn is felt that there may be some
sort of collapse coming in that market.
Foreign influences were feeble 10 higher
prices today and London bought early.
Selling Of United States Steel preferred
weakened the market. The stock came 10
a pause after the announcement that
John d. Rockefeller had resigned from
the directorate. The spectators in the
stock have made much of a theory that
the control of the corporation had passed
to the Rockefeller interest during its
troubled vissicitudes and were left in a
state of confusion by this development.
The strong advance in Amalgamated
Copper of % was due to reports of a
judicial decision in Montana which would
permit the company to collect dividends
from it's subsidiary company, the Boston
and Montana which have been tied UP
by injunction even since the control was
acquired. The advance in amalgamated
copper checked the decline elsewhere, but
did not bring prices back to the early
high level The closing was lifeless, but
steady.
Bonds were dun and steady. Total
