NEW YORK March . The stock market continued unsettled today and traversed Its range of prices several tirihi, but the ilnal result showed that the urgent pressure ot liquidation had spent I, self and that the bear party telt themselves at tne limit of e.itety on the rhort side. Probably the demand rrom this element to cover Ihelr short contrai ls was the principal factor In tne late strong rally In prices. There was, however, some Indication ot Investment de mand on the decline. Support was evident at the opening and he.d an Important effect In relieving the anxiety caused by yesterday s many rumors ot tluaiiciil emnurrasmrnt which were considerably cleared this morning, with a renssuring effect upon the senllinent. The money situation, however, showed no sensi ble relaxation, the call loan rate running up to per cent early in the day. This was the occasion nt the first brtuk In stocks. After a period of dullness at about the level of last night's prices, a drlvo was mane ut the market, which tarried many prominent stocks a point or more below last night's level. The leaders had been as much above on the opening r:se. The market seemed to have oeen sold to a standstill on this drive and made an Ir regular recove-y until, near the close, ths leaders rose agutn fn.m 1 to 2 points over last night. There were slight recessions belore ihe close, which was Irregular. Much attentlcn was paid in the specula tive circles to the gossip concerning a possible legal contest against the I'nlon Pacific's rlt,ht to tote Its ho. dings of South ern Pacllic stock at the latter company's annual meeting. The existence of a long stnnulng pool In Southern Pacific Is com monly accepted In Wall street Its opera tions and commitments being based upon the assumption of an early refunding opera tion lor bouthetn Puclnc, accompaule.1 by the Inauguration of dividends on the stock. 'Ihe policy -of the I'nlon Pacific control In deferring dividends on Southern Pacific and making neavy outlays out of earnings had come In for bitter criticisms from the pool Interests. These are apparently Identified with the movement to contest I'nlon Pa cilic s control. It Is said the leader of the pool has usFumed the leadership of an aggressive bear movement In the general market during the opt ration of the week. The vigorous ruMy at the close today was accompanied by rumors that a truce had been patched up between tho contending Interests In this dispute. The quieter cotton market had art in fluence In the recovery In stocks. The estimates of the bank statement based on the known movements of currency also seemtd to have a calming effect. The subtr-aaury yesterday took more than 31.oiW.ocio from the market, again bring ing Its absorption for the week ip to $fi,123,0C0. This probably about measures the loss of the banks on all accounts, as the Interior movement was about evenly balanced. But last week's bank statement understated the cash decrease by nearly $4,01)0.000, so tha the average- this week may have to make up the discrepancy. Ihe large liquidation In the stock market points to extensive loan contraction. The late recovery in stocks, however, pointed to some recovered confidence In the money situation. German banking houses In the city were large lenderu today and sterling exchange waa weak under good offerings of loan bills. Wheat exports for the week Increased 834.000 bu. and corn exports increased 1,448.000 bu. Dry goods Imports fell $1,204,613 below those of last week. 1'nlted States bonds sold as law as 87, when Issued, or within a fraction of parity with the preferred stock. Northern Se curities also was largely sold. Inactive stocks continued to show wide declines be fore a market was found. Ponds moved In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,710,000.

The supply for the five days this week has fallen behind the receipts for the same period of last week, but there Is a good, substantial Increase over the same days ot last yeat. . About the usual proportion of the receipts this morning consisted of beef steers, and buyers took hold airly well and paid just about ateady prices for everything offered. The better the quality the easier the cattle were to dispose of, but still even the half fat stuff sold to about as good advantage as It did yesterday. As receipts were limited the pens were soon cleared. The cow market seemed to be rather tin even. Some salesmen were well satisfied with the market, and were quoting It steady, while others thought they did not do quite as well as yesterday. It will be remembered, however, that yesterday's market was also a little uneven. Taking the average there was very little change from yesterday In the prices paid. Bulls, veal calves and stags also sold without material change, the demand ap parently being fully equal to the supply. Stockers and feeders were scarce this morning, and as speculators carried over very few from yesterday, anything at all desirable sold at lust about steady prlcea. Common kinds, though, were slow sale, as not much demand from the country was expected for the remainder of this week.

The decline amounted to Just about 66.110c. Trading was not exactly brisk, but still Ihe bulk of the offerings was disposed of In good season. Good htavy hogs sold largely from I7.W to 17.10 and prime heavy eights sold up to $7.17'. The medium weights went largely from tti 30 to $7.i and the light stuff from l down. The last end of the market was If any thing a shade easier, as packers filled their more urgent orders and were then not as anxious for supplies. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. IT. No. Av. 8h.

The bet ter grades jold without much trouble at steady prices, but when It came to tne com mon kinds the market wat. Blow and weak. Wethers and yearlings may safely be qjoted steady for the week. Ewes have sold at the highest prices of the season, but the quality was also the best, so that, all things considered, the market for the week is not much more than steady. The lamb market, however, has suffered a severe break at all points. The decline here for the week is fully 2640c on all kinds. There were very few killers offered today, but packers did not seem to be par ticularly anxious ror any. There were aulte a few feeder lambs on sale, but the market was a little slow owing largely to the fact that the close of the week Is so near at hand. As compared with the close of, laat week, .though, . feeders are about steady.

NEW YORK. March .-COTTON-Mar-ket opened steady at an advance of 5 points, the Improved tone being due to continued support by the clique, further coverings of shorts and better Liverpool cable than was required to meet the close of New York yesterday. The early market for today's receipts showed some decrease In tho figures of last year, but almost Im mediately following the call there was a renewal of the liquidation and short selling noted yesterday morning and prices were rapidly forced down, May selling hi low as 9 6V, or 22 points below the best of tho morning, 62 points below the best prico of the week and 17 points below last night's finals. The options at thin time showed declines of from l"t24 points as compared with the best of the morning; at this level the clique again, came to the support of the market and a sharp rally ensued which carried prices back a few points, but the steadier tone was followed Just before the Close by another wave of selling, which closed the market weak, net 9"i'.'5 points lower, at which level prices were &jj'9 points below the lowest of yesterday on the nearby options and about 43fi65 points be low the best level, with March, the spot month, showing the most pronounced weakness, reflecting apparently the desire of the longs to avoid lmmudiate deliveries. The selling toward the close was largely on the heavier ln-rtght for the week, which according to the figures of tho New York Cotton exchange show 192,098 bales, as com pared with 134.681 last year.
