STOCICS AM > IIO.NDS. Increimeil Coiillilenec Cunceriilnp : Gold SliliinieiitH a Kavoralile I''actor. NEW YORK , Mny 3. There wns an. Improved one to the dealings In slocks today and prices ield appreciably firmer. The volume of trading aft > o Inct eased someuhnt , but It Is still ex- rnordlnarlly small , Tills reflects the Increased confidence of the stock market concerning the shipments of gold to Europe. Fears on this score have partly abaled. The fact that new 'ngUgeinents were made today with nclual busi ness being done In demand sterling for J4.17H to the pound confirms Ihe belief that the gold novement Is not the result of a natural set- lenient of the balances , but a special demander or gold Involving the payment of a pieinluin for It. The cloeett estimate thai can be iiia t tliowH Ihe profit on gold shipments lo reasv vlicn demand slerllng falls 'u < 4. > ,3. The fnct hal a premium must be paid i'o" the prvveut gold tihlinieiils | Is coniliif lo cnus. ? th opru - Ion lo be regarded na u bublness operallon irofltable to the country and as a healthy In- llcallon of the abundant bupply of gold In the country , marking It as the best source of sup- ily for a i > pclul demand , such us that of Vuetrta at pretent with Himsla and Japan aliio slrongly attractlnK gold , ull of this demand icing for currency conversion purposes. Al- hough the United States treasury has tupplled leurly all of the stock of cold for the present movement , Ihe movement of gold Into the treas ury continues at apparently the same rate au or some time past. The current govcrnmenl receipts also are In excexs of expenditures , be- aueo of the heavy Importations of dutiable nerchandlie to anticipate the new tariff bill. While these Importations serve to make the exchange situation more ndverue their benefit 0 the United States treasury and the consequent quent safeguard to the currency Is viewed as n compenvullon. In part nt leott. The fact that he price of gold bars und American eagles was reduced In London und that the 1'arU rates or sterling exchange rote slightly have also flvt'n rite to a belief that there may be only small shipment of gold or none at all by next Saturday's steamer , It remains to be seen vhether tliU hope Is justified. The brlghler a - lect of affairs on the Ixmdan exchange was also 1 favorable factor In today's market.

The market on killing cattle was a little cusler and In consequence riithnr slow : stll everything wus sold and weighed up li good season. Handy little cattls Urn suited this buyers sold possibly no lower but the coarser nnd less desirable beeves were lower. The buyers , however , clalmei that their cattle cost about the same as on Saturday. The quality of the cattle die not average very high and there was noth Ing choice In the yards , so that the sales did not make a very good showing 01 paper. About ten loads of cows and heifers were offered and sold , but at a little easier prices The supply of stackers and feeders wa limited mostly to one bunch of hayfed Call fornla fet-ders. which sold at $1.20 and $1.25 The market was Just about steady on tha kind of cuttle.

The lower provision mat kit and the profpect of large receipts for tomorrow made salesmen very bearish , and they started out to pound prices. A few loads of choice light Oregon hogs sold lo the shippers at J3.76 , but the packers starled out bidding J3.70 for everything , good , bail nnd Indifferent , Salesmen were not prepared to make the concession , though Chicago was reported lOc lower , Ari a resull the trade was very slow und the morning wore away with little business being done , neither buyers nor sellers being willing to give In. The buyers would take the hogs nt J3.70 , but they were very backward about lalslng their bids. Representative sales : No. Av. Shk. Pr. No. Av. Shk.
