Prices Recede to Lowest Fig
ure of the Present Year.
EXPLANATIONS ARE NUMEROUS
Decline Accompanied by Relatively
Small Volume of Trade-NOne of
the Disturbing Rumors of Recent
Weak Days Heard Yesterday-NO
Evidence of Decentralization.

New York. Feb. 7.-Undoubtedly the
action Of the stock market to-day was
surprising to the bulk OF the financial
community 1t would have been con-
sidered cause for no particular comment
If prices Of stocks. after their display OF
strength in the closing days Of last week.
should to-day have reacted moderately,
although. IN general. the undertcne Of
feeling In the fnacial district at the end
Of the week was plainly improved. and
was such as 10 make it seem likely that
in the immediate future prices would ad-
vance rather than decline
Nevertheless, from the very opening of
the market prices fell until the close
of business, making larger declines In
nearly every stock on the list than had
hitherto been seen in any day in the pres
ent year, and, OF course, bringing the
average range OF prices TO much the low
est yet recorded since January l.
No Satisfactory Reasons.
In the rush OF explanations for the de-
cline numerous supposed causes were put
forward. but none Of them were adequate
and most Of them We're manifestly un-
satisfactory. One thing that was very no.
table was that none OF the disturbing ru-
mors that have been such prominent
feature upon the weak days in the mar
ket in the recent past were to-day heard
in the slightest degree, and whether curl
Gus aspect OF the situation was that the
decline was accomplished upon a rela,
lively small volume Of stocks considering
the extraordinary recessiOns that tool
place.
The volume OF the days business was
less than il has been on several days in
the last two months, and. despite the
constant weakness shown in prices. there
was nothing like the decentralization OF
excitement seen on the stock exchang,
that has been exhibited on not a few
occasions in the same period. The out
ward and visible aspect Of the marke
was, therefore, quite normal
Fear Incorporation Law.
One theory prominently adduced TO &C
count for the character Of the days re
suits was that a highly unpleasant in
preston has been made upon f1nanCia
sentiment by the publication in full il
the newspapers Of the terms of the new
Federal incorporation bill that was intro
duced in both houses Of Congress durinl
the day.

A story had it that friction had arisel

son Of the fact that primaries are Ut

are most applicable to Idaho con-

Each candidate Is required to ale
