Tho following nro quotations on mining slocks: Skilled O pern lorn Are l,pnilprs, Tho leadership has remained in the hands or experienced and skilled operators, sup plied, apparently, with supotiibundunt means, which urgues the precipitation of speculation of large capitalists. The con viction bus been widespread that much of I the buying was ror Investment by bankers and capitalists and by representatives of I other railroads seeking extension of Interest and control. This supposition cannot be verified In any authoritative! manner, but It Is manifest to u tyro In market affairs that speculatlvo buying plays tho most itupor lunt iiari In I he market, for tlio recorded transactions in many stocks within a short time aro sufficient to have effected a change of control or tho properties several times over ir thev hail represented In any con siderable proportion genuine transfers of ''he shares traded in. There has been .lormous prnilt-taklng at every stage ol t ie advance and tills is adduced ns evi dence of the health uf the market and ns showing a process of digestion of long flock. .Yo llnimer of Quirk Itelniisp. But It is to In borne In mind that tbo taking or prollts Involves n buyer nt tbo high level us well as at tlio lower. No ade , quato Judgment can be formed of the health of tlm market until tlio character of theso ' buyers, who aro tho present holders, be comes better known. This can only bo a e'ouslderublp reaction In prices. So far ns the buying has been by Investors who are . satisfied with tho return on the money they paid for stocks or will hold tliein ror pur poses of control or Iu tho eonlldenco Unit 1 they will Increase In value, there Is no dan ger to be apprehended from a relapse In t prices. But If tho buyers who have af forded prollts to the inert proiessiouiii operators aro merely widely scattered spec ulators who ha vii bought with borrowed money on u margin with tlio purpoi-o to sell out at a higher level at a piiilll. It Is easy to seo that tlio market's technical position is much weakened as a result of tbo week's happenings in the stork market. Such hold ers lack both tho skill and tho resources to piotect their holdings by supporting prices either by confident buying or offerings, or by manipulation. An extensive i pact Ion wipes out tbelr margins ami covers stop los orders which may demoralize a market which is overloaded with such speculative accounts. Such a condition is reared In tho present market and prices are considered uujustitlahly high. But so long us tlio hav ing continues on tho prcpont largo scale, however Hticculatlvo Its character mnv be. prices will continue to advance us a matter or course. Honey Market Coiilliiuen I'iik.v. The continued cheapness und abundance of money fosters the speculation nnd It Is considered improbublo Hint It will receive anv considerable check while the rennirces of tho money market last, Tlio iiuiclerly ' disbursements of Interest and dividends bavo afforded relief to tho money markets all over tbo world this week. Ill New York I the purchase of short-term government I bonds for tho sinking Muds by tho secre tary ot the treasury was an additional rac tor toward relief. But Inllucnces aro at work both at homo and abroad to Impair tlio market supply of credits, Tho sub K'rlptlons to the Herman loan or $75,000,000 Have anecieu an uu gieai nnmcy municm of Hie world and have undoubtedly catn-ed In an Indirect manner withdrawal of gold from this country. Paris has been a largo Mibsctiber. and withdrew funds from Lon don for that purpose, l-ondnn has, in ef fect, borrowed gold in New York as being the cheapest money enter, nnd shipped it to Paris In payment of obligations. Look ing to tho ruturo It is expected Hint tho British government will olTer Its P.20,tirt0,.i0 war loan for subscription during the latter luirt of April.

Tho mnrket, however, seemed to be a trifle uneven, as some sales were undoubtedly higher than yesterday, while others were no moro than steady. It was n good active market, though, and the situation could perhaps best bo de scribed by calling It steady to strong. Prnctlcaliy everything was out of llrst bands In good season. Tho supply of cows was rather light, not over twenty cars being offered. Packers nad liberal orders, and tbo market ruled active and fully steady, tho same as was tho caso with tlio beet steers. The mar ket, however, seemed to be a little un even, but still very satisfactory prices, as a rule, wero paid, and the pens were cleared at an early hour. ..... ..
