Stock market values on most days have been
movins within narrow price fluctuations, withthe general tendency in recent weeks toward
:Improvement. In last week's operations little
jpublic interest was reported, the general trad-
ing representing chiefly the transactions of the
professional element, which was not disposed to
j make extensive commitments on either side of
j the speculative account, though sentiment; was
conservatively bullish, a reflection of which was
found in the quick recoveries from declines, in
the absence of selling pressure and in the per-
: sistent firmness of the metal issues in the face
! of adverse trade conditions, especially in Sat-\u25a0 urday's market. It is quite evident that the
I holders of the steel and copper shares believe
! current conditions in the metal industry will
j pass away with the settlement of the tariffj question, and that in the future the securitiesI of the steel- and copper concerns will move to
i a higher level, otherwise United States Steelcommon and Amalgamated Copper would not beselling at present figures. Amalgamated Cop-
per keeps above 70, though it is only a 2 per
cent stock. Ifthe issue on its prospects werenot worth this price it would not be so confi-dently held by speculators and investors, while
the same thing may be said of United State-.
Steel common, which may now be bought to re-turn more than 4 per cent. Wall Street appar-
Iently does not believe that trade developments'will require a reduction or passing of the divi-
dend on this stock The United States Steelj Corporation last year, when the steel business
i even at high prices showed a tremendous con-| traction in earnings, made a little more than 4
I per cent on its $50?. 000, 000 of common stock out-j standing, and though in the first half of the cur-
rent year results will be disappointing there is
j good reason to look forward to a large expan-
sion in the demand for steel products in the
second half of 1909 and a normal trade In thesucceeding year. There is. of course, the pos-sibility that the directors of the corporation may'decide to suspend dividends on the common for
a brief period, but the course of prices on theexchange docs not foreshadow such action. Thometal trade is in worse condition than any otherindustry, and the fact that the metal shares jmaintain a strong market position is one of tho
most noteworthy features. of the situation, andone that encourages much confidence over the
1 future of business affairs.Current prices in the local stock market are
not far under the best of the year, made in the
first week In January, while since that time
fluctuations on the greater number of days have
been within narrow limits, the greatest declinerunning from January 2 to February 23, in the
Icourse of which the leading railroad shares went
; as low as 113.90 and the leading industrials as| low as 79.91. against 119.75 for the railroads and'
S4.SI for the Industrials at the close Saturday.
;Stocks are in strong hands, but there Is no dis-'position on the part of the public to buy fromthe owners at the present relatively high quo-tation, and as a consequence there appears noimmediate chance of an extended rise from theprevailing level. Though money is easy anilthe carrying charge is small, commission houses
receive no response to buy, except on invest-ment account, purchases for the latter showing
some Improvement, especially in the bond de-partment. Inlast week's market there was anIncrease in the demand for railway mortgage
issues and for municipal bonds, the movementin this department of the market naturally being
a most encouraging development. • There is!nothing In the outlook that suggests investmentliquidation. Holders of well protected specula-
tive accounts find m easy money a legitimateargument for maintaining their position, whilein the general technical poeition of the mar-ket the latter see no reason for a decline thatwould materially weaken their margins. "Whilethere Is no encouragement to Increase one's ac-counts at current advanced prices, there is nospeculative or fundamental factor working in'favor of active operations for the decline, and'from current indications the market willmove. in its present rut until something happens to
!attract aggressive speculation, on one side or theother. Special factors are affecting specialstocks, say, for Instance, the Interborough-Met-ropolitan shares, which last week were heavilydepressed on forced liquidation and manipula-tion for lower prices, and Alton common, whichwas advanced on an unwieldy short interest.
Money market rates show indifference to gold.exports, owing to the light demand for funds for!mercantile and Stock Exchange purposes. Theoutgo of the yellow metal to date has been off-set by receipts of currency from the interior, bynew goid and by excess government payments,|but it is conceivable that further heavy ship-ments may cause a stiffening Inrates for funds,though until the actual demand for accommoda-tion in this country increases high quotations
for loans appear out of the question. Whilebusiness conditions throughout the nation aresound, as far as underlying factors are con-cerned, and gradual improvement is noted inthe volume of mercantile transactions in manylines, merchants and manufacturers are notactive borrowers at this centre. Their Imme-diate needs are financed at home, their commit-ment! for the future being too small to imposea liurdi-n on their own banks, which not only are!not withdrawing their balances at Now York,as is customary at this period of the year, butare sending surplus funds to this city in roundamounts. \u25a0 The price of money abroad is higherthan it is here, though discounts at Londonwere lower last week, and until there is a de-cided change in this respect and our exports ofdomestic products show an Increasing tendency •this market may be subjected to further calls jfrom London for gold, of which there Is a largeand growing supply- in th" United States. For-eign houses bought stocks in this market to asmall extent last week, though sales outnum-bered purchases, the latter furnishing additionalreason for strength in sterling exchange, whichruled at a point that encouraged shipments ofgold to the amount of $9,350,000. The monetarysituation here doubtless is nearing the end ofthe current period of acute dolneoc. and it isgenerally believed in banking circles that pre-vailing.quotations are the lowest that will berecorded in 1000.
Government revenues are improving,and whiledaily Treasury statements continue to show an i
excess of expenditures over receipts, the deficit jreported is smaller than at this time a year ago, jamounting from the first of the month to $.'{,310.- ,.V.4. against $8,240,420 In the corresponding pc- |riod in lint*. Customs receipts so far in March 1have been more than £1.000,000 heavier than !they were last year, while internal revenue and jmiscellaneous items also have produced better Iresults, and furnish especial encouragement in [view of the- great expenditures being made by .the government. Since July 1 total federal ex- ,I»endlturr-s have amounted to$520,!)5(>,1)52. a gain i
from thr same period in the preceding year or !$.",4.5«;.'}.:;54. .The question of further government :financing may foon become a factor. of impor- ;tance in the money market, though at the mo- 1ment th/< Washington authorities apparently .ire jproceeding on the theory that current cash re- 'sources will be large enough to meet all re- Iquirements until •tariff readjustment with ex-pected increased revenue? Isaccomplished. Frompresent Indications a new tariff law will notbecome effective as soon as recent predictionssuggested, but if delay means advantage toAmerican commercial interests and larger gov-ernment receipts*, no Intelligent man willmakeobjection. Tariff uncertainties are not restrict-ing business to an extent that is driving mer-chants Into bankruptcy or upsetting the pros-pects of future profits. And no one in the In-vestment community ie losing any sits? over the

position of the securities and money markets intheir relation to the tariff and the country's in-dustries. Great value is represented in Ameri-can investment securities, and owners will notbe frightened into selling because of existingtemporary unsettling factors. The market closedstrong and buoyant Saturday. \u25a0
