MOW YORK STOCKS AXU BOM). atarda'a rioslu; nallj Is Lost In SloTT llonnivard Movement. NEW TORK. March 2-The ckslng rally In stocks on Saturday had some slIgAt In fluence upon the opening dealings todnv, but the advance was Insignificant and the market soon relapsed Into dullness and neg lect and a slow downward movement. The net decrease In earnings for January re ported by St. Baul was an unfavorable In fluence, although 11 was sought to explain It by the high price for fuel which had to be paid. Amalgamated Copper showed some strength, owing to the further stix-ngth In the metal both here and Ixm don, atid I'emiFylvanla made some resist ance to the depression. Late In the day SRiiin the unexplained advance In Manhat tan Induced some recovery In prices but the closing was unsteady and very 'dull. The money situation continues to weigh upon the market and the professional trad ers made the varying rumors regarding the chances of the Aldrlch financial bill the nominal motive of tneir operations. The weight of the day's rumors Inclined agaii.st the bill's chances, and this was assigned as the cause of the declines. There was no money to loan on time in Wall street at lfss ihnn 6 per cent today, and many lenders were not willing to accommodate uny but their regular customers. The rul inr rate for call money was 3" per cent. Some relief was afforded by large sales of bankers' bills in th3 exchange market In the process of borrowing foreign funds. Discounts were eacler in Ijndon and there was reported an expectation that the bank rate would be reduced there this week. But there was a suggestive break of 1 centime in the sterling rate of Paris, which mav mean that cheaper money In London will lead to withdrawals of French capital. The New York banks have already .'ost 12 136,000 to the subtreasury since Friday, and that Institution had a credit balance ni the clearing house this morning of $344.31)5, showing the continued drain of funds there. There was rather less pressure, however, vpon New York from the Interior, ex change at Chicago recovering to 20 cents discount compared with 40 cents discount List week. A contraction of bank re serves Is normal to this season and Is expected to go further. But the surplus reserve of $5,(;i,900 of the associated banks, disclosed by Saturday's bank stetement. Is the lowest for this season since INK). Iast week's insignificant contraction In loans ".uvea that item of the clearing house banks still practically at the highest record In their history. It is estimated also that securities lately authorised, but rather mere remotely In prospect, run up to over $200,000,000. Meantime underwriting syndi cates carrying over from last year are being dissolved and the securities distrib utee, forcing members of the syndicates 10 resort to tht banks for credit to carry them as Individuals or to sacrifice their holdings by forced sale In the market. Sales of bi nds for February this year In the stock market decreased nearly $20,000,000 In par valine, or over 22 per cent from the sales of February of last year. These are the con ditions that keep speculation from the stock market and discourage Investment demand. Bonds were dull and Inclined to be easy. Total sales, par value, $1,595,000.

Buyers all started out early and everything was soon disposed of. There were only a few bunches of beef steers In the yards, and the quality of those that did arrive was rather Inferior. Pack ers, though, had to have some cattle, and the market could safely be quoted active and strong. With that kind of a market a good many sales, of course, looked 610c higher. The greatest Improvement, though, was noted on the handy weight cattle, and also on the Inferior grades. The heavy cattle scld Just about In last week s notches. The cow maraet was active out couiu not be quoted much more than steady. Some salesmen thought they got a little stronger prices, but the Improvement, where there was any, was confined largely to the better grades. Canners and cutters held Just about steady, but the market was active on all kinds, so that salesmen had very little trouble In disposing of every thing that arrived. Bulls also met with ready sale at fully steady prices, and veal calve sold In the same notches they have for the last several "stockers and feeders were In light supply, and as speculators had very few on hand they were all anxious for freBh cattle. The market, as a result, was active and stronger on such as were offered.. Owing to the scarcity of good cattle even' the com moner grades sold better than they did last week. Representative sales: UtiEF STSERS. HOOS There were only 29 cars of hogs here this morning, and 11 of those were direct to local packers, so that In reality there were scarcely enough hogg on sale to make a market. As a general thing tho market could be quoted a dime higher. Good weight hogs sold largely from 37.O0 to I7.KS. with prime heavyweights selling as hlnh as 37.12. Medium weights sold from t.99 to $7.00 and the light stuff from 36 96 down. There was, of course, considerable unevenness to the trade, as packers were pll anxious for Simmies, and there were not near enough to till their orders.

Everything changed hands as rapidly as offered, and the market could safely be quoted 10HI3: higher .and some sales of ewes and year lings looked 15 und 25c higher. It was evi dent that packers had to have the stuff, and as thero was not enough to go around sellers held theli offerings at what looked In some rases to be fancy prices. There were several cars of Colorado sheep on sale, and hs high as KOQ was paid for Colorado yearlings. Colorado lambs of fair quality brought 36.75, and ewes from tho same state sold up to $4 65. There were very few feeders on sale this morning, but the market could be quoted strong and active.
