March B.-There was an air of mystery about the weakness of the stock market today. Rumors of financial embar rassment in the dry goods world were cir culated, but nothing definite was an nounced. The direction of the rumors shifted several tlmea during the day, how ever, which had the effect of diffusing tha feeling of distrust and apprehension. This vague feeling was the most effectual fac tor In the day's weakness of stocks. But the money needs developed by the situation had their positive influence by the with drawal of credits from the stock market In the shape of calling of loans. The prevail ing tightness of money leaves little re source for replacing of loans that are called. The consequence was a dribble of forced liquidation. This was steady and practically uninterrupted throughout the day. The downward course of prices was constant, but did not make wide Jumps in the active stocks, the recession, on the con trary, being by successive small fractions. But the net results upon prices lor the day were serious, reaching from 2 to 4 points for most of the active Issues and over that for some dormant stocks. A more notable example of the latter was Wells-Fargo, which sold 284 points lower than last month's sale. The professional bears cov ered their short contracts at different In tervals during the day, with the effect of checking the downward course, but the rallies were slight and the market seemed to have no stamina whatever. The last covering movement of the day was no more effective than the previous ones and the Closing was active, with some of the lead ing stocks at the lowest of the day. Even the announcement of the extra dividend on Manhattan and the advance In the yearly rate from 6 to 7 per cent was only momen tarily effective either on that stock or on the market at large, the selling coming from all quarters, including London, which sold 40,000 or 50,000 shares In this market during the day. The special wer.kness of the transcontinental group led to a sup position that fears were aroused by the an nouncement of the Incorporation of a com pany alleged to be under the Gould aus pices for the construction or a new line to tne racinc coast, -me neavy decrease an nounced yesterday in January earnings of Union Pad no was also assigned as an In fluence. The Wabash labor dispute and strike troubles on the Canadian Pacific gave vitality to the fears of coming labor troubles, which were Influences on the market. The report of. the organization of the structursl steel manufacturers to con test the demands for a rise In wages in creased the apprehension on this score. The further break In cotton had a disturbing sentimental effect on stocks and the calls fcr additional margins In that mr.rket had the effect of Increasing the 'pressure for money. The rate for rail loans on the ex change ran up to 6 per cent In the late dealings. Time loans were practically un changed, but there- was Increasing disin clination to put out funds at present rates. The subtreasury again took over $5oO..JO from the market, bringing the loss to that Institution since Friday over 5,0u0,0n0, but the treasury report from Washington showed a revenue deficit on the day's total operations of 12,225,530, due to very heavy disbursements. There was continued re sort to foreign lenders or money, as Indi cated by continued offerings of loan bills In the foreign exchange market. A feature oT the day was the further break In United States Steel 6 per cent bonds when Issued on the curb to below 89. Bonds were weak In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,606,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. The following are the closing prices on the New xora biock exenange: Atchison Teiaa at Paiiue J8'i do pfd B.I. A Ohio Toledo. 81. L.

In some cases they succeeded, and in others they did not. Sell ers all wanted steady prices, so that trad ing was not exactly brisk. The beet steer market In most cases did not show much change from yesterday. The more desirable grades, and especially the handy weights, sold without much trouble at steady prices, but where the cattle did not Just suit the buyers It was a little hard to get what looked to be yes terday's prices. The market as a whole, though, was in very satisfactory condition and a fairly early clearance was made. The cow market was steady to a little lower. Packers seemed to want the stuff, but they were all trying to buy their sup plies for less money than they paid yes terday. They were bearish on all kinds, the better grades of cornfeds as well as on the canners and cutters. Some sales were made that were undoubtedly steady, while others were 6(6 10c lower. Bulls were certainly no more than steady this morning, but veal calves continued In good demand at steady prices. The demand lor stockers and feeders was brisk again this morning, and the market ruled active und atronger. Some of the more desirable grades nolo at prices mat looaeu quite a little r.'gher. The demand rom the country this week has been tully equal to the supply, so that speculators all wanted more cattle this morning and There were not enough good kinds to go around.
