No News of Importance From the South and New York Trading is
 Quiet--SmaIl Losses at the &
 Close of Trading. syt

New York. Jan. 21.--There was a good deal of commotion and some con-
 fusion in the action in the two hours
 trading of todays stock market but
 confined to a few stocks. The further huoyant rise in the northwestern
 grangers was in connection with anoth-
 curb. The stock shot up to a new high record at 149 and 1t was accompanied
 as on its previous advance by inter-
 borough rapid transit which made a
 movement awakened little response on
 the stock exchange but the northern
 securities movement was evidently re-
 sponsible for the rise in St. Paul,
 Northwestern and its subsidiary stock. A number of dormant investment
 shares rose many points on single
 transactions, The general level Of
 prices. however, was maintained with
 appearance of the bank statement, dis closing an unexpected loan expansion
 of $34,474,700. This Is far in excess

 loans has been made by the three. or

 indicate into what channel this
 enormous extension of credits may
 be turned. There have been several
 bond sales during the week but not
 sufficient to account for the proportions
 of the loan expansion. Some part Of the resources thus expended may have gone for the payment of maturing American railroad notes and bonds held abroad and it is known that the cheapness of money here has prompted
 bankers to employ funds for the pur. chases of large amounts of bonds held by European investors which are to fall due in short time. But there will be room still for the supposition that some great project of corporation finance Is in process of being worked out. Compared with this weeks great loan increase that for the week ending
 January 23 ,last year comes nearest to
 an equal amount, when the bank loans increased $30.669,3Go. The only other parallel occurred during the spring of 1901 preceding the great Notation era when for several weeks the clearing house banks made increases In the neighborhood of S30,000,000 In their loans. The L. and N. purchase and the placing of large issues of short time railroad notes caused the last Januarys great loan expansion. Today's stock market closed active and easy. Total sales of bonds par value, $5,3s0,00o.

 New orleans Jan. 2i.--Bearish 'nforma- ton from cis-Atiantlc markets received daily has caused the local operators in Liv orpool to expect lower prices and sentiment Is pessimistic. Some few cables, however, construe the statistical sftdaticn as strong and voice more favorable opinicn. The decline of three points on options about met expectations and spots lost an equal amount on sales of 6,o00 bales. Tha resistance to lower prices which has rec sntly been Eotice- able in our market, yielded 10 selling pres sure today. The possibility of a revolution in Russia. growing out Of the existing strikes, suggests that splnno.s in that coun- trv may decide to dispose of cotton pur- chased for early requirements. This may have induced some selling, but continued re- port of spot holders weakening possibly had a greater influence
 The demand for dry goods extends little beyond immediate wants, but, as in the ma jority of lines, these can not be obtained, firrnness of spot goods exists. A commercial agency reports collections in the South ie tarded by low price of cotton, this is no doubt the condition leading to the increase of offerings. Mir. Elltson's estimate of con sumption, with continued low prices, inli- cates that the figures may reach almost Il, : 500, 900 bales. Influences of the coming week are expected to be varied but we are stlll of the opinion that ultimately lower levels will be observed.
