It was all Harvey's battle. Murphy

Although Hugh Mcintosh has cabled

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Jan. 26.-The action of today's stock market represented a convulsiye readjustment of the price level rather than measured recov- cry induced by steady demand. This was seen in the fact that first prices of the day were within a fraction of .he highest record for the coppers on the merger report.
 The opening of the stock market presented a condition of violent con- fusion and wide gains over last nights prices. The night having brought counsel, it was realized that yesterdays selling had pushed prices down to a level scarcely warranted by any condition in in the immediately outlook. The fierce rush to buy de- monstrated clearly also that much of the needless selling which went on yesterday was bear speculation and lad left uncovered short contracts on an enormous scale.
 The sudden transformation in the mood of speculation had little to ex- plain it in the news of the day.
 The foreign influences did not give much aid to the recovery
 The final jump in the copper indus trials with the circumstantial reports that the merger was imminent. check ed late reaction in the general list from the highest price of the day. touched during the final hour.
 Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value, were s3,2S9,O00.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.
