MmilHrnnl III Ncuntlva' Yn. I NEW YORK, March 9. A day of remark 1 able dullness in the trading nnd slight movement In prices In stocks was neverthe less highly significant In a negative wa. There was some Interest In Sugar, wlili h covered two-thirds of lis dividend. There was pressure agMnst Metropolitan, which fell nf one time to 102, and Pittsburg, Cln einv.itl. cblcag.) & St. Louis dropped 7'3 without explanation. Third Avenue. Con solidated (Jas. People's (las and some other specialties recently under pressure showed a tendency to rally on covering by shorts. Rubber was raided down C points nnd re covered 3. There were sharp advances In the HnsF-cd oil stocks and declines In Man hattan nnd Western Union. These changes wero quite Independent of any lommon In llilence nnd reflected no feature of the gen eral outlook. Hut the fact that the small bear trailers were moved to cover thidr short contracts before the close and the re sistance t0 decline offcied by the general list In the face of notably weak bank re turns, which authorities ucrco must be faced tomorrow, exhibited very strikingly the underlying strength of tho uccurltlis market. Apparently the banks will show a loss In cash by toinorrow-'s stntemcnt of nbout $n, (""o.irni. It had been hoped during the week that the payments of pensions would de crease the absorption of funds by the sub treasury nnd the fact that the last wek's gains bv that Institution Included the pay ment of a $.1,0iO,0i) note to the iovernmeni by the Central Pacltlc all1 wed that much margin for n fnvorable showing this week. Nevertheless, the sublreasury has taken from the New York banks during the week ns 'nuch as last werk. the total footlnc up $7.G7S.OOt. In addition the net shipments of the cash bv the banks to the Interior bv express amount to nearly $.'.ni),(K), com pared with a small gnln from the same source last week. This may be partly offset by the registered mall covering. Considering that the surplus reserves were below $U.0';0,Oj0 last week and that the money market has shown no other sign of disturbance thnn a slight hardening In cnll loan rates to I per cent, opinion In the strec t Is prepared for some surprising showing In the loan account In tomorrow's statement. The unruffled demennor of the stock mar ket In face of this drain on money re sources make It clear thnt loan obligations on account of s'ocks held nre small. Sterling exehnnge was heavy today In splto of some small selling of stocks for London nccount. The question Is canvassed of the effect upon the New York money market of the easier tendency of money In London, which it Is expected will be caused by government disbursements for tho pur po.o of maklnir a market for the new gov ernment loan. Easy money in I,onlon would Invite gold Imports to New York. It is worthy of comment in considering the sterling exchange outlook that announce, ment was made In Wall street today Hut subscriptions would be received for the new Lngllsh loan. The reported Initiative by President Kru ger toward negotiations for peace seemed to have very slight Influence on the market.

As there was a fair demand for an Kinds of cattle everything In the yards was sold nnd weighed up in n very short time. No new features wero developed In the beef steer mnrket this morning. Such cat tle as buyers wanted sold at Just about steady prices, and owing to the fact that thero were so few 011 sale the most of tho offerings were soon disposed of. Tho prices paid wero just about the same as prevailed on yesterday's market and there was no quotable change. Cows and heifers were In good demand and the market wns steady nnd fairly ac tive, so that practically everything changed hands eurly In the morning. There were a few pretty good corn-fed heifers, as will be noted from the sales below at $4.0031 23. Hulls sold In nbout the same notches as yesterday. There seemed to be some little demand for stockers and feeders and for the latter part ot the week the market was In good shape. Speculators were pretty well sold out, and there seemed to bo quite a little Inquiry, so that the holders of the few cattle here wore disposed of without trouble. Representative sales; HEEF STKERS.
