Show ILarge Dealings and Varied Fklaata Stock Speculation Attributed to Court Action in Northern Securi- ties Case. ! NEW YORK. Jan. 30. There was groat ! aotlvltr 1 today's stock market, with lnrgo dealings and with constant fluctuations, fluc-tuations, but the net changes do not In any degree correspond with the wldo movements of the day. Tho mainspring of the speculation was the action of tho , Supremo court In tho Northern Sccurl-! Sccurl-! tics cnoc. Last week's buoyant rise In j the stocks which have responded to the j various developments In tho Northern ? Securities caso was associated with a j general conviction In Wall street that the court had reached the determination to refuse tho petition of the- Harrlman ' party for a writ of certiorari to review i the decision against them In the lower Bypermltting tho Immediate distribution distribu-tion of Northern Securities assets, fcuch action by tho court. It was fell, would practically determine the- contest. The i anomaly of strength shown by the stocks of both sides to the contest on account of a decision which would be a defeat for one side apparently escaped notice. Tho movement of tho stocks today Fcemed to demonstrate by their final action ac-tion that their advance has not been Influenced In-fluenced by consideration of a decision 1" In the Northern Securities case. But. It was also shown thai . there had been a large speculative following In thia stock, which supposed thnt this was tho Influence Influ-ence that moved thm. Thus, there were again heavy unloadlngs when It became known that the action of tho Supremo ijiurt would have the effect of contlnu-Mk'jlx contlnu-Mk'jlx the Injunction under which the North-IrtcJi North-IrtcJi Securities company Is lied up. Thnt wJlrpmi lteelf fell back nearly S points on IVthe i curb market, and Union Pnclrtc, Southern Pacific and St. Paul wcro acutely acute-ly affected on tho exchange. The determined accumulation of Union Pacific at the lower levels and Us vigorous vigor-ous movement upward again presented other causes for tho advance and tho : mysterious poer of the railroad "deal" : again asserted Itself on tho speculative ' temDer Union Pacific. Southern Pacific. ' St "Paul Chicago & Northwestern and ; allied stocks. Erie. New York Central, the Vanderbllts and Kansas City South- em, were all influenced Immediately by ' the suppreltlnn of the deal. Disclaimer of the deal stories said to be with official sanction, but anonymously anonymous-ly reported, had no effect on the specu-, specu-, lativo excitement. Outside of this Influence, In-fluence, there were no clearly defined fic-i fic-i tors in the market. There was some dte-: dte-: position to attribute tho strong recovery recov-ery to tne retreat of tho bear Interest., "which hits made 'demonstrative threats Jagalnfit the market for some time past. The special strength of Amalgamated JCopper was attributed to this causo. 1 Interviews with ralfroad traffic offl-fclals offl-fclals pointed to slight Interruption of tho Ifrelght movement by last weok's storm instruction, and the merchandise move ment was said to bo well maintained. Foreign fnctors fell Into the backcround. Money was again very easy and the pros-. pros-. pects of largo additional exports of gold caused no disturbance. Except for the i : Harrlmans and Vanderbllts. there wore ' not rnanv stock that recovered to above 'Saturday The closing was steady and iot very far from the averago of Sat-'urday's Sat-'urday's level ... . I Bonds continued to bo well absorood. iboth on the stock exchange and over the counter but depression of some of the tsjttculatlve Issues made tho movement Irregular. Ir-regular. Total sales, par value, $i.47a.- IjO. United States bonds wore all unhanded un-handed on call. NEW YOnix EQXX LIST. ' S rcf Cs rc lWV7 Jnpaa Ca cert . S3 'Caurori . .
