NEW YORK STOCKS And BONDS
Market is Inactive and Values Orumble in
Final Dealings.
RISE IN MONEY CHECKS SPECULATION
Indications that Possibility of Miners

influence for Many
weeks.

NEW YORK, Feb. l5-The tone OF
stocks was depressed today without show
ing very acute weakness under the sudden
crumbling in the final dealings. The linz
tied volume of the days aggregate sales
Indicated that the selling pressure was not
severe. but the demand was languld and in
different to a marked extent Even the
special stocks, which had been held by
the continued mystery regarding alleged
Important developments expected concern
ing them, were less aggressively sustained
today, leaving the market without their
supporting effect. Speculative sentiment
was affected by an apprehension that
the available ammunition for an effective
compaign in stocks was largely expended.
The action of yesterdays market on the
Union Pacific dividend were cited as pretty
conclusive evidence on this point. The
continued rise in money rates also was
regarded as offering an effective check TO
rate for call money loans did not remain
long below 5 per cent, and got well above
that late in the day. In spite of the pres
sure on this department of the money
market very large demand continued in
evidence for time loans for all periods.
Five per cent represented the minimum
interest rate for periods up to six months
and for shorter periods 81 bid and 51z
asked represented the market;
Bankers report ready sale for some
of the bond issues now offered, but the
volume of these new offerings seems to be
undated and IT is expected that others
are yet to come. Announcements today
included 100000 Louisville & Nashville,
S, 10000 Minneapolis q st. Louis notes.
100000 Atlantic Coast Line new stock,
S1,0O0,0o0 Detroit United Railway notes. and
reports not officially confirmed of an in
tended issue by the Mexican Central of
from s2O,O00.OcO to SSO,OOO,Ooo. Discounts
hardened also in London and in Berlin.
The Bank of England weekly statement
showed a decline in the percentage of re-
serve to liabilities.
Hopeful views were expressed of the
probable outcome of the coal conference,
but the probability that it's conclusion will
be deferred made II likely that its repres-
sive influence on speculation would be
held over the market for some time. The
large number of departures from the finan-
cial district by we'll known bankers and
persons influential in the financial world
for vacations was subject of comment
and was thought likely to indicate a
period of less activity in financial affairs
to come. The persistent heaviness Of the
market invited the attack in the Anal hour
which made the closing weak and active,
extending sharply the declines which had
ruled during the sluggish movement OF
most of the day.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales. par value
81, 80, 600. United States bonds were all I'M
changed.

STEERS AND HELPERS.

HOGS-Speculator and shippers started
the ball to rolling this morning by select
ing few loads Of such hogs as they could
use at steady 70 strong prices. They paid
as high as $500 for right good hogs Pack
ers did not appear very anxious for sup
plies and were slow and bearish from the
very start The result was that barring a
few loads sold early TO the spectators and
shippers, the market was very slow and
late In opening. When the packers did
get down to business they were determined
to buy their hogs at about the same prices
as prevailed on yesterdays weak close or a
shade lower than yesterdays good time.
In other words, they wanted to buy thei"
stuff at about s5.S7l2 instead of $5.s7I2q5.9 80,
at which range the hogs sold yesterday.
Sellers made hard struggle for steady
prices at least and were backward about
letting go at anything less. which made
the trade especially slow. so much so that
it was late before clearance vas effected.
