NK\V YORK , April H.-Tradlng was
rather sluggish most of the day , tran-"a < * -
tlo-ns only slightly exceeding 500,000 share * .
IKX.M ! transportation shares continued
prominent cln the dialings , while the rail
ways moved within narrow limits.
The Idea , that Brooklyn Transit might
benefit by some of Ihe mooted electrical
combinations made the stock In keen r--
quesl. The stock sold , except the subscrip
tion rights , from 129 to 131 , , closing nt 1H4 ,
against last night's 130. Mnnhatlan , too ,
ran up Koine 3 points , while Metropolitan ,
after an early display of strength , broke 7
points , c losing with u net loss of 3. Among
other strong spiv-laities were Sugar , Pee
ple's Ons , Continental Tobacco , Federal
Sleet , Rubber and Tennessee Coal , the two
last named rising .1 and B points , re
spectively. The railway lift , although n n-
levied most of the day. wa * ftrong In Ihe
Into dc.-illnRS.
Influences at work on sentiment were easy
money , hops of n favorable bank state
ment tomorrow and rather bettor reports on
wheat. .Mobile & Ohio advanced on small
dealing ! ' on the 'belief that a 1cal was pend
ing which would secure thf road anen -
tranoo to Chicago over < he St. Louis Short
Line. A number of brokers have secured
largo time loans , so as not to bo forco-d to
pay high rates for call loans in any po -
filble squsezo In money. Transactions for
fore-ten account were very small. In the
tlnaf dealings the pressure against traction
stocks caused some rocosslotu from Ihe bet
prices , but the undTtoni * was Rood.
Today's bond market showed good breadth
nnd there was s-nmie Rood gains In Issues
which have of late obtained prominence In
the mnrket. Total wile * . $1,600.000. T.nltcrt .

"The Commercial Advertiser's London
flnadal r-nblegrnm says : The mnrket s hero
were mainly occupied today in dlscusslne
the effect of the new -stamp duties. It is
thought they bear unduly on Americans
Kenorally. owing to 'the ' practice of free y
renewing - scripcertificate. . - * and particularly
on low-nrlceJ shares , the price being on
nominal valll"s. Arbllrage JiuslnoFS also
"

But this effect is temporary. The chancel
however , nr.d
lor's definitions are vague ,
final options a watt further elucidation.

wanted cattle and the prices paid were fully
as good as last week , the decline the early
part of the present week having all been
made nsi , and In some cases more than
made \f' . Si'llers were well pleased with
the pi-lies paid and in some case * were callIng -
Ing tliPin consldcrab'.y higher. One bunch
of good , fal , branded westerns sold at ? S.10.
Cows and heifcr.s were in active demiind
and sold readily at good , strong prices , so
that the pens were cleared in a very few
mlnules. There was no change in tire bull
market.
Yesterday speculative holdings of stockers
and feeders were pretty well cleaned up , and
today most everyone wa ready to buy , so
that the market on that kind of cattle was
also In fair condition. Everything of any
account In first hands sold early" and the
trade came to u standFUl' In a very short
time for the want of more cattle to sell.
'I he country demand , however , was not
very brisk , and down in the- feeder division
speculator.- ) reported the trade as slow.
