NEW YORK, February T.-There was
no appreciable Improvement in respect OF
activity in the stock market today, but
its general tone continued firm. and In
only a few instances were there evidences
OF pressure either from genuine liauida-
ton or operations for the short account.
In fact. there could be little doubt that
the continued retreat of the short interest
was the main influence in such advances
as we're recorded.
The announcement in this morning
newspapers Of the appointment of re-
ceiver for one of the Gould lines In
Texas was about the only important item
of news overnight relating to any partic-
ular securities Texas and Pacific dropped
smartly in connection with this intelli-
gence and the lower-priced Gould shares
were heavy Missouri Pacific, however.
after opening below yesterdays closing
prices rallied quite sharply.
New York Central was also heavy, lot
which the showing made In the December
reports of the Vanderbilt lines was doubt.
less directly responsible. Practically all
OF the other earnings statements made to-
day showed declines corresponding with
those reported by the New York Central
lines Firm features of the railway list
were st. Paul. Union Pacific and Reading.
Amalgamated Copper was the most act
i've feature of the market. and was ex-
ceedingly strong. Montana advices set
forth some improvement in trade condi-
tons and, in fact. some of the reports
went so far as to hint at an early re-
sumption of operations by the Amalga-
mated subsidiary companies.
There were other rumorS current that
negotiations were in progress looking to
the transfer of the Clark properties to
the Amalgamated. The steel stocks were
steady as were American Smelling and
Sugar Refining.
The local traction issues were inactive
save the marlborough Metropolitan Az
per cent bonds. which rose sharply on a
repetition Of the reports current yester-
day with regard to the readjustment Of
the company's finances.
London Market Extremely Dull.
The London stock market was extreme
ly dull. but was generally firm, with ex-
ceptional strength in all the copper
stocks. Operations here for foreign ac-
count were limited to the purchase of a
few thousand shares of stocks.
The Bank of Englands rate of discount
was left unchanged at per cent. and the
banks weekly statement showed reduc
ton In its ratio of reserves to liabilities
of more than 4 per cent as compared
with last week.
Local monetary circumstances were
again unruffled. There was little discus
sion with regard to the probable showing
of the banks In their weekly statement on
Saturday. although it is hardly likely
that they can regain through the interior
movement of currency the loss of nearly
$6,0O0OOO which they have made to the
subtreasury since last Friday.
