New York. Feb. 21.—The Evening Post’s
financial cablegram says; "The stock mar
kets opened here flat to-day, on politics.
A recovery at mid-day was followed by a
further sharp fall, mainly on bear opera
tions and New York sales of. Amereans.
Paris bought steadily throughout, includ
ing Americans, but this was powerless to
support the market. Unless there should
be a sharp rally to-morrow morning, big
differences are to be met, notably in Grand
Trunk and Americans by wenk operators.
At the same time there have also been
commitments in the last few days. New
York's heavy selling to-night, occurring on
the eve of the settlement here, and the hol
iday in the United States to-morrow de
moralized the market and caused a gloomy
feeling. Grand Trunk and Canadian Pa
cific arc 300 to 360 lower than at the last
settlement. Argentines were better. Mines
were dull. The settlement in that market
is featureless. Gold is in fair demand, at
t7s 54%d, but the demand is now confined to
South America. There Is good reason to
believe that but for this bar gold might
go to the Bank of England.”
New York, Feb. 21.—T0-day’s heavy de
clthe in the stock market was made with
out any actual new developments in the
situation, but was rather to be attributed
4o a combination of impressions which
have been the underlying force in specula
tion for a week or more.
The day's market demonstrated for one
thing, that last week’s declines would
have been much heavier on the develop
ments in the Cuban question had it not
been for the support of the powerful in
terests who desired an opportunity to real
ize.
' The entire absence of support to-day
gave a color to the sup;>osilon that those
interests had completed their liquidation
and were indiffernt to the course of the
market. The motives assigned for the
selling had less apparent basis, in fact,than
were funvshed by the events of last
week.
So far as they turned on the Cuban ques
tion. they dealt with speculations on possi
ble future events or abstruse points of in
ternational law, without any convincing
authority to back them. Apprehensions
growing out of the rate war for passen
ger business between the Canadian Pacific
pnd our trans-Continental lines hud a more
substantial basis, though a soothing sug
gestion was offered that the profits and
dividends were not largely dependent upon
passenger business, anyhow. There seem
ed to be no realizing sense that this sug
gestion was inconsistent with the large ad
vances which had been forced in the price
of securities, on hopes of Klondike truffle.
■ The great snow- storm in the West was
also a factor of real Importance, both by
reason of the Interruption to railroad traf
fic and the possible damage to crops.
Whatever the real motive, it was lveyond
dispute that there were large offerings of
securities for which there was no adequate
demand, and selling orders to stop losses
were uncovered on the descending scale,
rjenljnes were so great that the prices
tint looked attractive, as bargains in many
bases, were reached and this steadied
prices and worked some notable recover
ies. 1
! This process was repeated several times
during the day and tire market closed with
•’bde of the rallies in full force, thus leaving
the net declines decidedly smaller than the
extreme declines during the day. in the
cases of Sugar and Metropolitan Street
Railway, this recovery was between 2 and
3 points, and Third Avenue made an ex
narjrVaUy of 12 points in the final
dealings, afier an earlier loss of 8 points.
The loeai and Industrial specialties were
the severest sufferers by the early de
cline and the Grangers also were notably
■ffected by reason of the storm. New
York Central reflected a marked liquida
tion on recent speculative buying. Man
hattan was one of the chief sufferers and
after a fall of 5 rallied I*4.
A feature of the day was the marking
jin of call loans to 1%, in accordance with
the reduction In the surplus reserve. The
local market paid no nttentlon to the firm
er tone of foreign exchange, due to the
subsidence of apprehension of the West
African situation, which was regarded
with such Acute misgivings on the local
exchanges Saturday. Rondori was a buy
er on balance in the New York market to
day.
The course of the bond market was
strictly In accord with stocks In both de
clines ami rallies. The loss at one lime
was from 1 to 2 per cent, in many leading
