NEWS IS NOT FAVORABLE
Threats Of General strike in Phila-
deIphia and Reports of Damage
60 wheat UnsettIe senti-
ment.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The stock market
remains largely in professional hands and
the recession IN prices today may be as
crtbed to the disappointment OF the pro-
fessional element over the attempt to ad-
vance prices earlier In the week.
There were several items In the days
news that were regarded as prompting to
caution in adopting assumptions as to the
future. The threat OF a general strike in
philadelphia in sympathy with the street
car mems strike ceused anxiety. The large
number OF reports Of damage to the winter
wheat crop In the southwest from the Sc
we're weather had a dampening influence
on speculative temper and proved the
growing Influence Of the crop situation on
the securities market. Account was taken,
also, OF the reserve shown by the mercan-
tile agencies in speaking of the miner
cial conditions generally.
Announcement was made of one or two
important bond offerings and a canvass OF
the number Of projected issues gave the
impression that new financing must be
playing an important part in the money
market for some time to come. The per-
slsteht strength In the foreign exchange
market was an indication that further ex-
ports Of gold might be a feature of next
weeks markets. The heavy volume of
merchandise imports at the port OF New
York and the coming maturity OF corpora
ton note issues of which large portions arc
held abroad explain this movement. The
bank statement showed the cash decreased
limited to about S1,OO0,0oO and the loan in
creases apparently due to taking over of
loans from the trust companies. The fea-
ture Of the statement was the heavy cons
item.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $l,2S6,OOO. United States 2s and Is
