iWaLash 1 deb. 4s Ctfs lVjJ MARKET MOVEMENT. Not unnaturally yesterday's stock market was nervous. Quotations ruled weak. At one time serious recessions were recorded.

This was true especjally of the iron and steel group. Indeed, It was chiefly on account of iron and steel uncertainties that the general market showed softness. A variety of sensational rumors were circulated; some had it that the Morgan-Carnegie deal had fallen through; others represented that in the deal there was to be scant provision for any of the common stocks of the companies to be absorbed; and yet different reports Insisted that litigation on the Inside of the Carnegie Company was about to block the big consolidation undertaking. Just before the close of the business day the market hardened, representing- prominent banking Interests taking large blocks of stocks. Hints were heard of developments scheduled for today which oiffent to be helpful to market values.

money still refuses to get above 2 per cent. Curious token of anything, like threatening stringency. In explanation of the advance In Burlington, three reasons were offered. One was that the St. Paul deal having been dropped, Burlington was to be taken up Instead of St.

Paul; another had it that the members of the Waldorf clique purposed to make good their prediction that Burlington will cross SL Paul, and thereby win some large wagers; while the third was that the stock is intrinsically worth more than it is now selling for. The declines in Delaware and Hudson and New York Central stocks from the high figures were brought About by a story to the effect that explicit denial had been made by the Vanderbllts that New York Central bad obtained or was seeking to obtain, control of Delaware and Hudson. It was not till after the market's close that It was learned that no such denial had been made. In well-informed quarters it is generally believed that the story as published, telling of an 8 per cenL dividend guarantee, is true. According to the gossip 'in the Street, everybody was selling stocks yesterday, and no one was buying.

Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Keene, Mr. Hill these and many of the lesser lights were declared to be tumbling out securities right and left.

By the same Interests It was declared that there was practically no support to the market. Where the buying came from which rallied the market sharp, ly several times was not explained. There was a manifest disposition on the part of certain insiders to keep the local railway shares under pressure, the Intention apparently being to accumulate a line of stocks at the lower There was no news on the shares except the statement of the Brooklyn Heights Company for the quarter ended Dec. 31. which showed a surplus of after all charges, compared with $17,000 a year ago.

Southern Railway shares were sold on the report that Mr. Morgan had declared that there was no possibility of an Increased dividend on the preferred stock at the next dividend meeting. At Mr. Morgan's office It was said that he had made no such statement. The talk persists not only of closer relations between Seaboard and Southern, but also between Southern and.

Louisville and Nashville. The action of Atchison common stock suggested that around 57 there was more or less pool 'liquidation. Just. Indeed, aa there has been ever since the stock touched R8. It Is now declared that the forthcoming dividend declaration will be at a a cent, rate, and not at 4 per cenL, as generally has been looked forward to.

The selling of Colorado Fuel was on exaggerated reports of serious labor troubles among the company's employes, while there was also some aellrng because xf disappointment at the December state ment of earnings, which showed a decrease In net ltrures of On the decline the stock found good support. Pere Marquette again advanced on buying said to be either for Canadian Pacific or Grand Trunk Interests. In Hocking VaU ley the report that members of a recently formed pool were selling out on their friends was denied. The strength of Rock Island waa aaJd by friends of tha company but of what nature wan not Shrewd market observers declared after the close of business that nearly all the selling had' been for the short account, little liquidation being forced save on the part of a few timid holders. The loan account shows an extended short In teres While Jlhe bears continue to lament- the fact that the money market situation Is hud, both call and time money remain easy1.

Yesterday many call loans were made ss low as per while the highest rale was per cenL Bankers Insist that there Is no fear of any tight money or even of any higher rates to i-ak of.

Cole, In his reports, explains the decrease in net earnings as due to a restricted volume of business consequent on high prices and the limited building done early In the year. The loss of customary Spring and Summer tonrusge was only partially recovered by increased activity In the Fall.

On the property's general condition the report says: Attention was called In the last annual report to the policy of the company as concerned the extension of Its business. The work then in progress became productive In September, and Is Justifying the investment. The separate company under whose organisation thia specific work has so far progressed, and whose stock Is owned by this company, has been advanced by us for this purpose, which sum is charged to other investments account. In part payment we have received from them first mortgage 5 per cent, gold bonds, being the entire Issue on the property In question, the payment of which, both aa to principal and Interest. Is guaranteed by this company.

Of this Issue 15O.0O0 have been sold at par and the remainder are in the treasury. It will be noted that assets have Increased In the several items of stock on hand," cash." accounts receivable," and other Investments." The working capital of the company Is at present necessarily supplemented by borrowings to provide for new Investments and increased cost of raw materials in all departments of manufacture, and stockholders will also recog-nix the necessity for larger use of capital to realize a like aggregate of earnings. Competition ts active, but not destructive of returns to an economically managed business. The physical condition of your properties Is being maintained by liberal expenditures, which, for the period under review, have been $146,194 for new work replacing old and for current repairs, making an aggregate of $198,298, all charged to operating expenses. With an ample stock of goods, inventoried at conservative prices, we shall maintain our position in the trade and participate In whatever measure of prosperity the current year may develop.

Pierpont Morgan, who swears that he Is not a Director of the Erie Railroad. This la followed by almost the entire affidavit of John Stern, counsel and stockholder In the Pennsylvania Coal Company, who conducted the negotiations with Mr.

Morgan for the sale of the properties In question. Mr. Stern declares that the properties are worth the amount patd for them.
