Market 8tna Mlaht Improtemeat, I'honah still Mainly Professional. NKW YORK. Ffb 1-The siock mstkot showed some improvement today over the spathctic conditions of last wefk and the volume of drallnas rose by more than Boo.ooo shares. Complaints from commission houses were unabated, however, of a lack of husl ness, and the market was called profes sional. A very lari,e part of the activity, both In stocks and bonds, centered In the Pennsylvania securities. As the par value of the Pennsylvania shares Is only $5o, the total sharc-s dealt In should be divided In half to make the showing egulal-nt to that of other leading stock.H. 'ihe same Is true of the Reading shares, which con tributed an Important part of the day s dealings. Pennsylvania promptly relapsed on the opening salts of 12.1M shares to 150, com pared with lil' on Saturday, and hovered about that price all day, with large deal ings. The convertible bonds rose 1 at the opening. This teemed to represent an adjustment to the convertible value be tween the two In accordance with the notice given by the directors of the antici pation of the convertdon privilege by a year. Increased activity In the general market seemed to have no connection with tne Pennsylvania movement. The revlv.cl of strength In the Krle stocks had a con siderable sentimental influence on the gen eral speculation. There was no news de veloped regarding th expected dejcl tor the transfer of the road, but there was some suspicion that the targe financial transaction reflected In the clearing house balances on Friday might have to do with Krle. The strentcth of ieiaware At Hudson was directly associated with that of Krle. 1 here was a current belief that all of the coalers are making enormous earnings st this time, which helped Reading and Ontario & yestern. St. 1-ouls ot San Fran- Isc-n continutd Its advance to Its hign figure, but nu Information was given out regarding the expected disposition of thts property. Auundant funds offered on Friday and the easy tone of call money this morning j iormeu cue oasis oi tne autrnpi co put up prices. Today s movement was hardlv more than tentative, hut It was more vigorous and confident than any of the numerous professional tests tor some time past. Amongst the day's special movements Amalgamated Copper waa conspicuous for a rise of over 2 points. Prevalent opinion points to improved trade conditions and there was talk today of large takings of copper by foreigners. There was (nothing to explain the rise In People s uas, except the declaration of a regular dividend. The Venexilelan situation was considered re assuring. There was a good demand for foreign exchange and It was reported that money has grown so cheap here that bank ers prefer to remit to pay off maturlns foreign Indebtedness. The day's guins were not fully maintained ana tne closing was rather irregular. Wabash debenture 6s be came very strong at the last.

The decline amounted to about 2itc, or the market could be quoted all the way from weak to Sc lower. Trading was not very active, as It seemed to be hard for buyers and sellers to agree on terms. The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold from $6 65 to W.70, prime heavy hogs from 16.70 to $60, and the light weights irom 96.60 down. There was not much change In the market until the es treme close, when the provision market eased off, but as most of the hogs were dis posed of the weak close did not hsve much effect on the general market. The sales on paper today do not show the decline, as the quality of the hogs wss exceptionally good for a Monday, and, In fact, was better than the quality of the hogs sold on Satur day.

COTTON Oncned quiet at a decline of 1 point, under selling i ior Docn accounts, wnicn was chiefly en couraged by the outlook for receipts. The eurly estimate for ports pointed to a move ment of about 29,000 bales, as compared with is.foc Dares last year, ana tne interior re- ocipts also have recently shown an ex panding tendency. New Orleans showed a disposition to dragafter the call and Liverpool, where the market opened un changed . and advanced ViiiUic. also de clined, closing about 2 points lower. The weaker tone resulting from this Influence was responsible for a decline of from 4 to 8 points on the active option, from which the market was rallied toward the close by buying by room shorts and' commission houses, which with the list finally steady at a net decline of 2 to S points. The southern spot markets were held at gen erally unchanged prices. Liverpool re ported spot sales of 12.000 Dales and news from various dry goods markets. Including Mancnester. were distinctly encouraging. It was on the phases of the situation and on the ordinary that the recent liquidation had pretty well cleaned out the weaker long Interest that today's buyers were operating. Sales were estimated at 200,000 bales. New York Lire Stock Market. NEW YORK.

Totals 2,715 . 6.039 9,120 CATTLE There were not nearly as many cattle here today as arrived a week ago, so that in spite of the fact that other points were quoted lower the market here ruled active and higher. Buyers were all out early and trading waa active from start to finish. There were not many beef steers on aale today and the quality was also on the com monlsh order, but bjyers evidently had to have some cattle, so they took hold with considerable life, and the market ruled active and strong to a dime higher than lust Frldayi The better the quality the easier the cattle were to dispose of and the greater the advance, but as there were not enough of the better grades to fill packers' orders the common kinds In the majority of zases also Joined In the ad vance. The cow trade was fully as brisk as the market on steers and In fact It only took a comparatively short time for practically all the early arrivals to change hands. The demand was good for all klnas and the market was safely strong to a dime higher than last week. The medium to choice grades, though, - Improved a little more than the canners, but they also suffered a worse decline last week than the canners. The bull market was In a little better shupe today than It was last week. In some cases prices seemed to Improve a lit tle snd In others the prices looked about steady, but It was easier to make a sale. Veal calves continued In active demand at good steady prices. There was a brisk Inuuirv for si or Vers and feeders and the supply not being very large the market waa active and strong to a dime higher than last week. The better grades In particular were wanted and on that class of stuff the improvement waa greatest. Speculators carried very few cattle over S.muay. ro that they were all looking for fresh supplies, and It did not take them long to buy up everything In sight.

Buy ers, though, took hold In good shape, and anything at all good sola without much double at last week's closing prices. When It came to the warmed-up and hair-fnt stuff, however, -the market was not as brisk and If anything the prices looked a shude lower than last week. The weakness, though, was of hardly enough Importance to be worthy of mention. It wus evident that packers were anxious for good stuff, but that they did not care particularly for the half-fat kinds. Several trains were late In arriving, which delayed the market until the day was well advanced. Trie demand for feeders continued active and the few bunches of desirable sheep and lambs that arrived sold at good, strong prices.
