ire. arriving there about the middle
of December and John Fedher, whose
name is mentioned in Rio dispatches,
was one Of the men whose name was
revealed here as implicated in the
conspiracy
The alleged plot is supposed to have
some rather startling ramifications,
but evidence along this line is far
from conclusive and rests chiefly upoa
the statement of the individual whose
record was subsequently proved to be
anything but credtable.
Consequently the whole affair is
regarded with much skepticism, and
indeed the presumption has been rails
ed that it may have been a deliberate
ly coneocted scare. In any event. it
is now believed here that if a plot
actually did exist, the timely warning
and precautions taken have complete

them to transfer their operations fur
ther south, If not to abandon them
entirely. The latter hypothesis Is
sidered here to be the most probable
Only few people here locked at
the story seriously. others regarded it
as fantastic, while many dismissed
the whole affair as a myth Reports
today from Rio Janeiro have been
characterized as another weird chap

LITTLE DEMAND
FOR SECURITIES
Increased Selling Pressure in
Wall Street Accompanied
by Drop in Prices.

New York, Feb. S.-There was Moth
ing striking in the news today to ac-
count for the Increase of selling pres
sure in the stock market. The move
ment was rather the cumulative effect
of the feeling of cement that
has grown up during the week as to any
prospect for an early revival of a wide
spread demand for securities, such as
can only form the proper basis for sue
cessful speculative operations. A con-
siderable period of duliness and neglect
or the stock market is the clearly ex-
pressed anticipation heard amongst ha-
DltuaI operators and voiced in the ac-
ton Of the market. There is the appre-
hension also of possible delay I'm the re-
Vival OF industrials by activity in the
country. Sundry items of information
which appeared today were of a more
cheerful complexion on this subject
than has been the recent rule, but their
purport was ignored in the movement
of prices.
The placing of orders for steel rails
by some of the railroad companies fol-
lowing the determination OF the new
type OF rail promised some revival of
that important industry, and the presi-
dent of the United States Steel COR
FBoration impaired the information that
II was now operating at between As and
90 per cent of its usual production, COM
pared with only SO per cent of it's ca
pacity at the low tide in the middle of
December. The ratio of decrease in
gross earnings of railroads reporting
for the latter weeks of January shows
a less favorable comparison with last
years corresponding period than in
earlier stages of the contraction, giving
ground FOR an inference OF betterment in
that field of enterprise
There was an inclination TO look for
special causes for some of the weakness
today. The complexion of the bank
statement when il appeared after the
market closed. was seen to be affected
by the preparation of the trust COM
panies for their inclusion this week for
the first time in the public statement Of
conditions Evidently the trust COM
panleS have drawn on their banking
neighbors freely TO replenish their cash
showing. a decrease in bank cash of
nearly sl1.00O.00O comparing with an in
dictated gain from the known move
ments of money of between one and two
million dollars. The per cent reserve /
held by the other banks and trust COM
panies will be significant only for fu-
ture comparisons. 1t is interesting to |
note that the actual percentage of re-
serve of 21.70 per cent of the clearing |
house members compares with a per-
SSntage of 1852 per cent in the COM
putatiOn by averages, thus proving that |
the latter understated, rather than over |
stated the actual condition on this oc- |
casion.

ficial statement of the New York asso-
ciated banks was the first exhibit ever
made by such institutions which showed
in addition to the averages of the various
items during the week, the actual condi-
ton Of the banks as regards such items
at the end Of the bank week.
The bank statement likewise shows what
also has never been disclosed before. the
summary of the condition of trust COM
panies and state banks which do not make
reports of their condition through the
clearing house. Such statement will en-
able the public to be informed of the
condition of all the financial institutions
as respects loans. specie. legal tenders
and deposits. The statement of the Asso-
ciated banks for the week showed as the
most striking feature. a decrease of $40
1880 I'm cash. This loss could not be
reconciled with the traceable movements
OF money during the week. neither could
il be accounted for by the withdrawals
of public deposits, for such withdrawals
amounted to only ! 1-3 millions compared
with the previous week The most reason
able explanation of the discrepancy be-
tween the estimated gain in cash and the
reported loss is that the trust
companies in order to make a good ex-
hibit. had withdrawn cash from the banks
in which they kept their deposits.
