The stock market today started In under ttie discouraging Influence of lower prices for the International stock * In Lon tlon nnJ reports pome embarrassment Incidental to the fortnightly settlement t that center , Arbitrage houses were rdso fellers here nt the orwnlnp. The local traders , however , nctlng upon the assumed fact that n market for the Impending Issue of United States government bonds hnd tarn made prior to the formal public announcement of the terms of such Issue , Boon took hold and advanced prices nil nlonR Ihe line. In thp upward movement New Jersej Central nnd Sugar gained 2 per cent , nnd the KtnnKfrn nnd other prominent shares nIM scored substantial Improvement. The rise In Sugar > l -ck was stimulated by n rise In the price of domestic nml foreign silgnrs. The nonnppenr- nneo of dednlte Information ns to the terms or date when the Issue of lionds would be made , to gether with reports of premiums on Hold nm ! npprehenslon of tight money , nwn took all the snap out of the Innlket nnd xlugxlshncss nnd n decllnlnit tendency of prices characterized npern- tlons during the remainder of the day. The uncertainty ns tn the trensury relief measures restrlctea activity In prnellcnlty everything nslil. from ( ho money market. Call funds nt the Stock exchange lluctuated between 5 to 25 per cent mi n considerable vphirm. of luslne s. Tim opening rnliwns 6 per cent , nnd the higher IlKiiien continued until the close of buslners when HIP low iiolnt wns reached. Ap plications were received for lonti certlllpntrs by the dealing house committee , ana no gold was rngnKril for shipment by Woane lny's steamer. Hero ngnln the Inlluence of the expected new government loan Is manifest , ns n innro nctlvo demand for cxrhange than usual recently was noteil lodny. After the close of the business it wns reported that Interests piepnrlng to avail themselves cif the bond ISHUP hnd hid "i of 1 per cent for gciia. The higher talcs for money wns explalnea ns due to tlip ustinl shifting of Inans nnd rloslntr Incidental to the dividend payments. Some liquidation wns npparent , nnd the bears ansumed n show of nctUlty. The result was the loss of nil tin- early Improvement , In some In. ptnncts reccKnloin mnteilnlly below Saturday's closing nccmrcd , notnl ly In Chicago Das , Ixiuls- vlllr fi Nashville , St. Paul. Consolidated Gas and Sugar. In the final dealings llnltlmorc & Ohio dis played optional strcnKtli , advancing 2't ' per cent In the face of Ihe dcpresshn In tin1 general list. This wns attended by leporls that various pow erful Interests had proffered financial nsslsl- nnei' to tin- company with the proviso that they should be allowed to nnmt * n iniceertsor tn Pres ident Mnyer. The closing was dull and uninteresting teresting- the lowest of the day. The nuitket for railway nnd mUccllnnwU" h mils ruled lower cm dealings aggregating $1,20-3,001) . The more Imiwrtunl losses weie recorded in the prominent IKMIOS. L'nion Pacific bonds were freely sold on realization of the approach of the time for carrying out the practical details of the reorgan ization plan. The EvtnlnjPost's London llnnnclal cable gram says : The stuck market here was very dull today. Even gloot.iy appie- henslinM are once more heliiK ex pressed In regnnl tn Turkey , and a gooa deal of uneasiness has sprung out nf the pnsltl- of affairs In the Transvaal. American securities weie cnmpniatlvcly steady today , for the reason that there was no business In them. South American shales were depressed for the reason given almve.

Handy fat cattle , weighing i.'joo to 1,300-lbs. , which appeared to bo th kind In hem demand , sold strong1 to lOe higher. Other grades showed little or no Improvuiiiont , though fully steady. While the feo'lng waB better today , the de mand did not partake very largely of the old-time active character , the mid-holiday dullness still exerting a strong Influence.

In some cass salesmen , who had something that just filled the bill with the buyers , thought they got stronger price ? . Only a few stockcrs and feeders were offered for sale. The demand for this class of cattle Is very light , but fully equal to the very meager receipts. Values today did not show any very material change. lUprescntatlve sales : HOGS Only fourteen loads of lioga were re ceived today , not enough to make much of a mnikct.
