STOC KS \\!> BONDS.
New Yor?<, May 25.—The stock market
continued intensely dull to-day. There
was no appreciable outside demand and
professional traders preferred to hold
pending more definite developments re
garding the affairs of Price, McCormick
& Cos., whose failure was announced yes
terday. There were nor many transac
tions under the rule on the Exchange to
day for the firm’s account, but there were
indications of large transactions in ac
cordance with private settlements. Thus
in the early dealings, there was a sale
of 9.000 bhares block of Atchison preferred,
the same house being both the buyer and
seller.
There was also o report current that
very largo repurchases were made for
Chico so account of blocks of stocks sold
yesierday for the failed firm. The Atchi
son transaction was explained os being a
erations represented the prog
ress of o settlement of the firm's affairs.
The prices at which they were mode In
dicated that the buying in of the stocks
was intended to ]>e at about last night’s
closing prices. The fact that such set
tlement could be secured helped to sustain
the market, and prices ruled for the
greater part of the day at or above last
night's level in spite of the utmost stag
nant condition of the market. looter in
the day rbe sustaining influence was less
effective ond prices generally declined be
low lost night’s level.
At the saim; time rumors were dissem
inated that other houses were in financid
difficulty, but nothing developed before
the close to warrant these rumors. The
undertone of the market wus rather de
pressed, in. spite of the support. The
extent of the failure affected sentiment
adversely, and the collapse of the corner
in cotton was looked to as materially al
tering the prospects of the cotton section,
owing to the decreased price of the ar
ticle. It was pointed out that the inva
riable results of such efforts to establish
abnormally high prices is a relapse to
abnormally low prices. The disposition
manifested at to extend the bear
movement in cotton instead of turning to
the buying side at the decline, disappoint
ed some expectation. The prospect of a
large increase In the cash reserve of the
banks in to-morrow’s hank statement
seemed to increase rather than relieve
the depression.
Preliminary estimates of the currency
movements with the interior indicate that
the banks have gained from that source,
over $3,000,000, or about twice as much as
last wevk. The Indication thus afforded
af a further decline in trade activity, made
for depression, especially os money in
New York is becoming almost a drug in
the market. The call loan rate to-day fell
to 1, per cent., and choice grades of
mercantile paper commanded as low as 3
per cent, late in the day. The reduction
In the official discount rate of the Rank
of France, following that of the Hank of
England yesterday, reduces the attraction
for the loaning of American capital in
foreign markets. In spite of the easer
money rates abroad, there was no disposi
tion to buy American stocks for that •-
count.
