NEW YORK. Feb. &-The lessened deal
ings and the narrowing fluctuations In the
prices Of stocks today marked the waning
speculative interest IN the market. Yester-
days downward movement having been
checked before the prices have got down
to the low level touched on Tuesday and
todays rally having failed for the most
part 20 reach the best prices touched on
Wednesdays rally, the inference Is implied
That forces come into play within those
limits which serve as obstacles.
There was little Of Importance in the
news Of the day and the market movement
was due to completion of adjustment to
the new condition which started the violent
movement Of last week On the side OF the
steel trade the conditions seem to be SILL
undergoing adjustment and no promise IL
held out Of the final basis Of settlements
copper metal weakened sharply IN the Lon
don market and was marked down again
al the New York Metal exchange The
effect was seen in the early decline in the
copper industrtals. The placid indifference
manifested in the money market for the
weeks heavy financial transactions and
the belief hat the heavy cash requirements
Of the money market have been met caused
some expectation Of a return of edundan
money conditions. Stocks were not unaf-
fected by this prospec but the principal
effect was shown in the bond department.
In which prices again The sale
was announced Of a large block Of South
ern railway bonds and the whole southern
group Of railroad stocks were strong. The
Incident was accepted as proof Of the
HAArAaAAAEu NhNE1NAANAAA AEAAaAAa - y -
curities Of this class. The return OF govern
ment deposits by the banks and the en-
gagements OF gold for eNpOrt have made
heavy inroads on the cash OF the banks,
the amount reaching the neighborhood
Of 100000 but the interior has responded
with unusually heavy remittances. the net
receipts from that source being sufficient
to cst In half the lose IN other accounts
Ii is thought probable that the remittances
from the interior have been prompted in
part by the weeks stock market develop
ments. the heavy fall In prices calling for
repairs of margins. The shipments of cur
rency from the interior continue to be in
fluenced also by the languishing trade
conditions. The high prices touched by
wheat attracted attention in the stock mar
ket. but their significance is considered TO
be obscured by the artificial condition Of
that market from speculative causes. Lon
