New York, Feb. 25.—The Evening Post’s
London flnacial cablegram says: "There
was an irregular tendency in the stock
market her© to-day. The Interest was
entirely centered on the Americans and
the buying here was considerable and in
fluential. It Is felt that If the present sit
uation Improves the market here is likely
to’ become better, as thq tecent slump gave
Just the opporfunlty desired by many to
lay in stocks. Prices closed pear the best.
New York. Feb. 23.—There was a sharp
recovery in the prices of stocks to-day,
In which the engagement of gold for im
port was the predominant influence. The
course of the exchange market yesterday
foreshadowed the early importation of
gold, which is tiie direct outcome in the
stiffening of rates for call money. The
amount of sterling exchange field in New
York is variously estimated at from $lO,-
000.000 upwards. A large part 0 f p h , s
been used ns collateral for loans and the
large liquidation of loans has released a
quantity of this exchange and brought it
upon the market: In other words, the rise
in money rates makes it more profitable
to bring home funds, which have been
left abroad, on account of the higher rale
hitherto prevailing there. The import
movement of gold is like,y to continue un
less there should be a sharp advance in
the money market in London and Paris.
The calling in of tills country's gold
credits abroad is likeiy to put a stop, for
the present, to foreign buying of our se
curities. which has been large of late nnd
which continued even to-day. The bears
made on effort to retain control of the
stock market at the opening to-day hv
talding a few of the specialties, notably
Metropolitan Street Railway gnd Manhai’-
lan. but they were unable to wipe out the
gains shown in sympathy with Ixindon.
Trading was nervous during the first
hour, but aftet* that the upward tendency
became fairly settled and continued
throughout the day with occasional slight
reactions)
A distinguishing feature of business was
the large number of small lots of stocks
changing hands, reflecting a large invest
ment demand, which whs invited by the
low prices after yesterday's slump The
short Interest created in the recent decline
wits a material factor in (o-day's rallies
the bears having evidently placed stop loss
orders, which were uncovered as the rise
progress.il Large corporation . interests
were credited with continued absorption
of slocks do-day.
The day's highest It vel of prices was not
fully maintained, but net gains gctierallv
were from 1 to-2 points. Great Northern
preferred gained 6 points on renewed tum
ors of a vaiuab.e distribution to be made
to stockholders.
Money on call loaned at 3 per cent hut
later became easier, in response to the
gold engagements. Rates were firm, r In
both the time money and commercial pi
per markets. There is a continued large
movement or currency to the interior to
meet an expanding demand for money
there. With regard to assertions that
this movement of money Is designed to
strengthen hank reserves against possible
contingencies, it should be borne in mind
thot banks are allowed to keep a part of
their reserve in the New York ciiv banks,
which are designated as deposj tories
These deposits will figure In the l, gal
reserves In the banks as much as though
they were In their own vaults.
There was ti sharp recovery in bonds to
day in sympathy with stocks. Total sales
were $2,840,000. United Stales new 4s cou
