Fevsrish Activity in a Few Issues is the
Feature OF the Session.
INTEREST IN GENERAL LIST WAVES
AmaIeHmated Copper, Great Northern,
Union Pacific and Southern
Iron Group Are the
Leaders.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-The feverish ac-
tivity in a few stocks today tended rather
to obscure the diminished speculative mar
ket as a whole. Such a falling OF in inter
est with a waveTing of prices, usually fol-
lows a period of speculative readJustment
like that which has occurred this week
Tho forced LIQUIDATION in the early part of
the week offered attractive opportunities
to an eager bear party, which sold stock on
the decline with great freedom. Their
necessary buying operations to cover were
strong factor in the rally and the uncer-
tain tone of today's market was fair in
dic1tion that these operations had been
pretty well completed.
Such speculative interest as there was
today concerned itself almost entirely with
merger projects in all stages, from the
Vaguest rumors to defined and detailed
statements of alleged terms. Some sort OF
combination amongst the recently contend
ing copper interests is commonly accepted
as an accomplished fact. Enormous in
dividuai transactions in Amalgamated Cop
per both on the buying and on the selling
sides had rather formidable effect on
sentiment and seemed to be an influence on
the heavy tone Of the rest of the market.
There was a wealth of detail of assertion
also regarding the terms of the supposed
disposition of the iron ore lands owned by
the Great Northern Railway company. The
Supposltion persists that deal with the
United States Steel corporation for this
purpose Is involved, although the president
Of the Great Northern is reported as deny
ing the assertion. a movement in Great
Northern has a natural effect on Union Pa
cific, owing to the large holdings of that
treasury from the Northern Securities set
tement. The southern iron group also
made vivid response to revived merger
stories. The character of these advances
seemed to be regarded with some distrust
and other stocks were sold. Reading was
effected by the seeming deadlock in the ef-
forts at a settlement of the wage dispute
between the coal miners and operators
The bank statement outlook probably had
some depressing effect on the general mar
ket. The tone of the call money market
held quite firm, but this was supposed to be
due to the passing effect of the first OF the
month requirements. With the indicated
loss in cash, however, and the possibility
Of a considerable further loan expansion the
outlook is for a poor bank statement to-
morrow. Rates for foreign exchange were
maintained and II is still considered prob
able that gold will go out. Yesterdays
enormous corn export, which reached the
record figure of S.2S9.359 bushels, indicates
the sources Of the free supply in the for
eiSn exchange market. The general list
made some recovery from the declines and
the closing tone remained irregular
Bonds were irregular Total sales, par
value, $4,000. United States IS, coupon,
advanced i per cent on call.
The following was the range Of quotations
