NEW YORK STOCKS And BONDS
Market Develops Acute Weakness and
General Level Of Values 10 Lower.
LARGE SELLING ORDERS FROM THE WEST
Prospect of an Extensive strike
Among Coal Operators Arouses
Anxiety of the Spec
uIators.

NEW YORK, Feb 3.-The speculative
position in the market developed acute
weakness again today and prices yielded
easily through the list. Deep inroads
- ere made in the case Of some OF the
speculative favorites. The nominal motive
Of the selling was the danger of a strike
OF coal miners which is brought to the
attention of Spectators by the rupture
OF negotiations for a settlement between
the miners and operators at Indianapolis,
Apprehension over the outcome was fed
by private advices from western sources,
accompanied by large selling orders from
the western speculative element. The
taking of steps toward a strike in the
New York building trade increased the in
nuence of the consideration given to the
labor outlook.
The ssnsitiveness of the market to these
developments in view OF the public re-
ports Of the progress making towards them
was proof of the vulnerable position of
the speculation due to the satisfaction OF
the demand for stocks from the short in
terests following the sharp reaction of the
early part Of the week. The weak bank
return also was unforeseen and an element
In the weakness of the stock market, al
though the bank return was not just
what was expected. The 81, 12s, 600 decrease
in cash was much less than expected, but
the expansion of the loan item by 49,
25l,S0O in the face of the large liquidation
supposed to have taken place in the stock
market was disappointment. The net
result was 70 decrease the surplus reserve
The yielding Of foreign exchange rates
and rise in sterling exchange at Paris
carried conditions away from the gold ex-
port point. The adoption of a measure by
the French deputies authorizing an in
crease in the note circulation Of the Bank
of France was a bearing on the outlook
for the movement of gold. The Bank OF
France has refrained from offering in
ducements for securing gold in the recent
past owing to the fact that the authorized
limit of it's note circulation had been
reached, leaving ii no advantage from an
increase of gold holdings. There were
some rallies from the lowest prices of the
day. but the closing tone was unsteady
and showed some important losses for the
day.
