NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Condition! in Wall Street Market
Show No Improvement,
DAT OF SMALL THINGS IS HEBE
Volume of Dealings is IMear Low
Reeord Steel Issues Slightly
Higher on ' Large Orders
for Rails.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Conditions In the
wtoek market showed no Improvement to
day and It was the general comment that
the day of small things has arrived. An
air of gloom pervaded the stock commis
sion houses In the financial district, the
current volume of business being wholly
inadequate to provide for ordluary ex
penses. Dealings not only continued at
a low stage, but the lethargy of the price
movement was more nronounocd, de
tracting from the ability of the room
traders to scalp their fractional profit in
the course of the day. The sales for the
day were still slightly In excets of the
record low level of one day last yta.',
but with that exception the dally business
at the Stock exchange is less than has
been done on any one day In over three
years.
So far as the general condition was re
flected In the day's sluggish market, thnt
In the metal trades was of Most inf I -ence.
Authorities were agreed In assign
ing some Improvement to the sttel tradt-,
due particularly to the r'atlng of steel
rail orders by the railroads, from which
some re-employment of lahor In the trade
Is hoped for. The reported increase In
rolling capacity of the United States Steel
corporation was regarded as of cheering
Import. The stocks of the corporation
were as little affected by this favorable
news ss they have b?en by unfavorable
happenings. It Is held as a belief In the
financial district that support of these
securities Is an integral pari of the policy
of the forces behind the steel corporation,
which Includes also the maintenance of
stable prices for the product In the at
tempt to restore general confidence in the
connections of affairs at large. While
the United States Steel stocks have given
signs of being "pegged," their action to
day did not Indicate a disposition to ad
vance prices. The coppers were more re
sponsive to various favorable reports that
were current regarding that industry.
Large sales of the metal were said to
have been affected and the surplus stocks
largely worked off In that way. Rumors
were circulated of an Intended resumption
of activities In the Butte copper camps,
but these were without confirmation.
Equally unconfirmed were the reports of
buying of the stock by Inside Interests In
the company and of a possible "deal In
contemplation." The circulation of state
ments of that kind indicated the
professional character of the market.
The appointment of a receiver for a
subsidiary Gould railroad In Texas had
some depressing effect on sentiment, not
withstanding vigorous asservatlons of the
riurely local causes of the incident hav
ng to do with Texas legislation. There
was an Impression In the stock market
that chances were Increasing for the en
actment of a currency measure ut Wash
ington and this was of some effect In
sustaining stocks. Railroad earnings re
ported showed no marked change In the
unfavorable conditions for Boirte time pre
vailing. This was a special influence on
New York Central, which was a heavy
spot In the market. Returns of the great
foreign banks showed a considerable ex
pansion of their outstanding credits and
money rates abroad were affected In con
sequence. Time money rates hero for
longer periods were higher. The slight
movements In the stock market were not
held with any constancy.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,820,000. United States 4s, regis
tered, advanced per cent on call.
No. of sales and quotations on stocks

CATTLE Receipts were quite liberal
again today and included a very fair per
centage of rather desirable beeves. Eft.it
ern markets all reported liberal receipts
and declining prices and this practically
had a rather depressing Influence on the
local trade. Buyers started out late in the
forenoon and opening bids were generally
fully loo lower than yesterday. Some of
the desirable handy weight cattle did not
sell so very much lower, but the heavier
grades were very poor sellers throughout
and felt the full effects of the decline.
Today's decline brings prices down to about
last week's closing level, and the demand
from both local packers and eastern buyers
is apparently not very urgent.
The market for cows and heifers suffered
fully as much as fat cattle, and the bulk
of the business was done on the basis of a
(xtflue decline. Medium and common stuff
suffered more thun the better grades, but
the dnmnnd for all classes was smaller
than It has been of late. Veal calves were
in good demand and fully steady and the
market for bulls, stags, etc., was quotably
unchanged.
Business In stackers and feeders was not
very rushing. The demand from the coun
try this week has hardly been up to ex
pectations and the trend of values has
been lower except for the desirable light
W'elght stuff. Common, heavy and medium
weight steers were slow sale at unevenly
lower prices.

HOGS Receipts continued liberal again
this morning and the quality of the offer
ings has showed very little change from
day to do-y. Indifferent advices from east
ern markets were responsible for a rather
slow opening of the Hade and most of the
early business was at prices ranging from
ab'iut ntttdy to a shade lower then yester
day. The nerul good demand resulted
In a rather firmer feeling as the day ad
vanced, and the close was at prices steady
to a shade belter than yesterday's aver
age. The top a as at $4.30 and the bulk
of the trading was at $4.oVu4.So, the saintf

BHEEP The delay In the arrival nf
trains Interfered with the movement In the
sheep division this morning so that It was
late before any trading of conseouenea wn
done. The general trend of prices on lambs
was toward a somewhat lower level so that
up to ine present time values are at least
loinr.o lower on lambs than last week. For
mutton graaea ot ewes, yearlings and
wethers, there has been no tmrtteiitur
change throughout the week, as these
grades sold today at fully steady figures.
