weakness In the other. The railroads suc
cumbed In tho early dealings to the sym
pathetic Influence of the violent declines
amongst the Industrials, but during the day
a confident demand sprang up for n num
ber of railroad stocks which lifted the whole
level of Hint department materially above ,
Saturday's close. So fnr as the news of the
day went It shed little light on the extreme ,
weakness of a number of tho Industrials.
The. movement had all the appearance of a
sort of duel between powerful contending
Interests and there are clroumstnnccs tend-
Ing to confirm this explanation of the move- '
meat. I
A report finds credence that the long In- '
tercsts of Third Avenue stock are thriftily i
availing themselves of the unsettling In-
fluence of the weakness In this stock to
mako a bear turn in other stocks, 'that
bitter animosities and rivalries are In
volved Is also n current rumor In the street,
the same potential entitles coming Into
play as during the panic of Inst December.
The battle raged mont llercely nboiit the
stocks of the New York public utilities, for
the centralized control of which a long
stnnding contest has been waged.
The notorious llnnnclnl dltllcultles of
Third Avenue plnyed a continuing part to
day nnd there was added to this rumors
that tho companies would be severely dealt
with In the approaching nppllcntlon of the
new state franchise tnxatlon law. The ex
treme declines In the New York Traction
nnd Oas stocks ran from 2 to nearly 0
points, the latter In Third Avenue.
Sugnr wns another storm center, the
furious speculation In that stock hinting
upon the doubts regarding the next quar
terly dividend, action upon which Is Immi
nent. A reduction In tho existing rate Is
taken for granted, but opinion differs ns
to the amount of tho reduction, extending
nil the way to total suspension. Sugar's
total fall was 71!. nnd It closed practically
nt the lowest. Tennessee Coal nnd the To
bacco stocks also showed notable weak
ness. Except In Sugnr there were violent
rallies from time to time, reflecting the de
mands from the bears to cover shorts. The
strength of the railroad stocks was based
upon the substantial ground of Increased
enrnlngs. A large number of returns were
mndo during the day. all showing cry
striking gnlns over the corresponding period
of Inst year. For the last week In Feb
maty the most notable examples were Nor
folk A- Western, Ontnrlo Sc Western. Louis
ville & Nashville nnd Chicago, Indianapolis
fi: Louisville. For January a handsome
showing of net earnings wns mndo by
Wabash. Chicago & Eastern Illinois and
Hocking Valley Saturday's weak bank
statement had some continued effect In the
early dealings, but there Is nn Impression
held In speculative circles that some part
of the recent large expansion of loans Is
designed for future usa In thn stock market.
Sterling exchange wns weak on Increasing
offerings of cotton bills. The nctunl rate
for demnnd sterling declined (, nnd for long
sterling H per cent.
The bond mnrket was rather dull nnd Ir
regular. Total sales, par value. SUSO.OOO.
CJovernment bonds were buoyant under
the Inlluenco of the refunding bill now In
conference. United States new 4s nnd old
4s. coupon, advanced H4. nnd old 4s. regis
tered, the 3s and 6s a point In tho bid price.

CATTLE Receipts of all kind, were light
today and advices from other market
points woie, more encouraging so that tho
geenrnl situation was rather favorable for
the seller. Tho feeling on the market
as a whole was better and another dav
or two of light receipts ought to bring
decided Improvement.
Only a fnw cornfed steers were Included
In the day's arrivals, nnd as there was
some little demand the market was actlvo
and In a few spots possibly 10c higher. At
tho samo time buyers were not disposed to
boom the mnrket very fast and In some
cases went back on their earlier bids 5ftl0c.
Apparently buyers were hoping for a good
run of cattle for Tuefday at the different
market points and were int dlsuosed to
put up prices very much so long as thero
was a possibility of that. Moreover cattle
here are selling high ns compared with Chi
cago. Most everything on sale wns disposed
of at an early hour.
Cows and heifers were In good demnnd
and as was the caso with fat steers, some
so'd higher and somo did not show much
Improvement over last week's prices. The
mnrket might be described as active and
steady to 10v hlgr. Everything was sold
and welshed up nt nn early hour. Thero
was no chanre In tho market for bulls,
stags. calve, etc.
Stockers and feeders were In llcht supply
and speculators were pretty well sold out
Saturday ro that tho mnrket was In a good
healthv condition. There was not much In
quiry from the country, but speculators
seemed to want a few nnd the prices paid
were generally a little stronger. Ropre
sentatlve sales:
