NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

@ York. February 2.-There was
some contraction Of the rates of artiv-
lty in stocks today and resistance to
the recent pressure was Perceptible. but
the tone was feverish and uncertain
throughout, as was shown by the
constant fluctuations of prices. First
prices Of the dayshowed a wide decline
from last night and large offerings Of
various stocks appeared. They were
taken at the low Level and prices rail-
lied on subsequent declines the APP
pearance of buying orders was effective
IN tn same way. This buying was gen.
orally credited TO banking interests
with the purpose of exercising benevo-
lent control of the market and Of op-
posing the raiding tactics OF the bears.
Finding obstacles of this character to
their efforts to get prices lower, the
bears were disposed TO cover their
short contracts. Most Of the losses
were recovered under this process. The
tone Of the market continued feverih
up to the closing. The'demand did G
follow up the advances with eagerness
and the market became dull on the
rallies.
The reviews Of the mercantile a2en-
cies were scanned for signs Of any re-
dictionary tendency in the business
world, but none were reported. Bank
~clearances for the week are lower thar
last year, following a tendency mani
fest for several weeks past. The de-
crease is accounted for mostly in the
Now York figures, and outside the
seven principle cities the clear!ngs
still show a volume we'll above tha: OF
last year. The bank statement was
little regarded, the cash decrease being
smallr than was expected and the loan
increase causing no surprise in view OF

theatres where the uniform practice IS
TO huddle together or colonize all the
people who show the slightest trace of
Negro blood. 1t IS an unmistakable in
dication that our patronage is not want

heavens name do We continue to push
ourselves unwelcomed into such places?
What has become of our self-respect?
Has our pride deserted US? 1t is no an

where they are subjected to so many in
dignities It is surprisingly to me that
any intelligent colored man or woman
would. at this late day in the progress
of events, willingly and willingly put
himself or herself in a position to be
offered a public affront or an open hu-
initiation such as is the case in public
