and' traders who had sold early made haste
to take back their earl sale, materially
aiding in tho strength and activity. There
was a fair cash demand, but the ear

favorable, as was tho weather. Argentine

helped principally by it heavy export de
mand. Fifty loads weie reported taken
for export at the seaboard. The demand
for shipment in April was also heavy, but
the ever-present dllllculty In getting ears

fluctuations wide and the market altogether
rather Jerky. The opening was tinder
yesterday, tho consideration being lower
prices nt the yards. A small dip followed
and then the market reacted. May pork
shooting up 30o to $12.!7'i. There was a
good cash demand, but thero was also con
Mdcrablo taking of profits, which told In

NhW YORK, Man-h 30. -The railroad
stocks retired Into the background of the
stock market today and gave place to the
Industrials and specialties. Sugar almost
outdid Its traditional reputation for uncer
talnt) by suddenly retracing Its course of
yesterday and mounting well above yester
day's high !olnt. There was a momentary
decline of less than a point nt the opening
nnd then a quick rally, nnd the stock never
got hack to last night s clo'lng level. Twice
during the Into dealings It was 13 points
above the I ov level In the morning and Its
net gain Is IP. The transactions In the
stock were enormous. Its course clearly
demonstrated n cynical skepticism on the
part of the speculative public regarding the
sincerity of the pessimistic official outgiving
which caused yesterday's slump In the price,
of the stock.
All sorts of sensational rumors were afloat
regarding measurea for compromise of tho
sugar trade war. and there were Intimations
that the opposition rellners had been emu
lating the example of the Metropolitan
Street Hallway Interests In the Third Ave
nue coup by acquiring Sugar stock nt the
decline. At all events shorts In the stoclt
were acutely perturbed and scrambhd to
obtain stocks. The local traction stocks
furnished the other surprise In the market
mid, like Sugar, developed aggressive
strength In the face of had news. The de
mand In this grouti undoubtedly came from
the shorts. The figures given out from Al
bany last night of the valuation placed upon
the franchises of the New York traction
companies were as high as the most ex
travagant estimates In Wnll street.
With the exception of a preliminary drlxe
which carried these stocks dn-n from Vy to
4 points the whole gioup was e.igerly loucht
all day, rising well above last night's fig
ures and not falling far below that level
'again. Prople's Ons and n number of tho
iron uni steel stoc'Ks iy rising sharply com
pleted the demonstration of strength ,n tho
Industrial group. The demand for the rail
roads seemed to have quieted down for tho
tlmo being, with the exception of a stock
here and there In the list which showed a
good odvnnco. 'Profit-taking was the motive
of tho selling. Hut the pressure upon the
money market Incident to the quartet ly set
tlement next week, which was manifest In
foreign markets even more than here, had
Its Influence In checking the buying move
ments As the buying of the specialties was
largely to cover short contracts It was not
Influenced by money market considerations.
There -was no stiffness In the rntes for
money, but preliminary figures of tomor
row's bank statement failed to indicate so
strong a return ns has been counted upon.
Owing to the falling off In tho amount of
government bonds olTered for conversion
the disbursement of premiums decreased
and the week's gain by the banks from tho
subtreasury will bo less thnn $1.000.0x.
On tho Interior movement bv exoress the
net receipts aro estimated at less than $.i00.
000. As against this smnll gain In cash tho
expansion In loans has unquestionably been
large. There Is ground for doubt, there
fore, whether considerable Inroad has not
been -mado on the surplus.
Huslness in the bond market showed a
falling off, but prices wero about main
tained. Total sales, par value, $1.390.0U0.
United Stntes 3, old 4s and new 4s declined
U per cent In the bid price.

CATTLE Today's cuttle receipts were
unusually large for this market. In fact a
larze or larger than the receipts at Chi
cago. The most of the cattle here todny
were cornfed steers. Owing to the large
receipts the general trade wus slow.
With the yards full of beer cattle buyers
had the opportunity to pound the market,
and they were not slow about mnklng the
most ot It. They started out bidding at
least lofii 16c lower on steers and they did
not net like raising their nlds. However,
sol'rs were determined to get ns much ns
possible, and they were holding on, so that
tlie early trade was very s:ow and It was
lato before very many cnttle had chansed
hands. In the end the most of the fat
eattlo sold, but at a decline ot fully 10c
from yesterdav.
Considering the large receipts of eattlo
thero were verr few cows and heifers In
tho yards, while the demand wns of the
usual liberal propositions. Tho result wns
that the market on desirable kinds of rows
and heifers openod Just about stonily, and
the trade was fairly active, so that tho
most of tho offerings weie soon disposed
of. Some of the late nrrlvnls nnd some of
the less deslrabl stuff did not fare so well
and had to sell a little easier in sympathy
with the decline on fat cnttle. Tho mar
ket on bulls did not show much chnnge.
heavy fut bulls are slow and It takes pretty
decent stuff to bring $3.60. As a mnttflr of
coursa, there Is now and then a sale of
choice fat bulls at a high price, ns will bo
noted from the sales below.
Feeder buyers are Inquiring more for thin
cattle of good quality than csn be put on
rotish feed nnd turned out late on grass,
and thero seems to be less demnnd for
warmed-up cnttle. The feeling on the mar
ket was nnturally easier this morning ow
ing to the decline on fat catle, and to the
fact that the week Is near an end. At tho
same time there were very few thin eattlo
to be had at any price, so that the market
could show very little change. Representa

appear to have stimulated shipments, which
wero the heaviest of the week so far. How
ever, thnt Is not snylng much, an the re
ceipts have been very small this week, as
will bo noted from tho table above.
Today's; Tarket was 6c lower under the
Influence or the reported decline at other
market points. The demand was good and
biivcrs seemed to want the hogs. As usual,
rellers worked hard to hold up tho market
and tor that reason were none too readv
to sell at the lower prlcts otfered. In tho
end. however, they were forced to cut loose
and the most of the hogs changed hands
In reasonably good senson.
It will be noted from the sales below that
a large proportion of 'the hogs sold tit Sj.10
(fjS.U'i. as ngalnrt $r.15p5.17H y"'crlny.
Some good hogs sold as high at $j.20, while
the top yesterday was $5.20.
While today's decline wipes out a portion
of the gain yesterday it leaves the market
nbout 6c hlgierthan It was on Vednesda
and over 20 higher than It was on tho
tirW of the week. On Friday of last week
tho average pr co pa d for all the hogsi In
tlU vards was only $4.90. Representative
