There was much nervousness experienced regarding the position In New York but stocks made a fair recovery after the re ceipt of the opening quotations in New York and closed with a better tone.

Expected Incline Does ot Come Off, as Market Hardens at Ootset. NEW YORK, March 9-The action of the stock market today verified a Wall street uphorlsm that the expected does not hap pen. A disorganized market and vlo.ent declines were looked for today. The events proved that the opening prices where there were declines were the lowest. The fac tors that made for recovery were at work from the outset. There was a vigorous contest of the elements for reaction and recovery during an hour of furious ac tivity. By that time the reactionary ten dency had been arrested and recovery fathered force for the rest of the day. he closing was rather unsteady, but not fur from the top level. It wm clear enough from the weakened position of the banks, as shown by Satur day's batik statement, that liquidation of stocks muft be resorted to. This expecta tion proved correct today and the banks did In fact call loans to a very large ex tent and stocks were thus dislodged and forced upon the market. But the keen fore sight o the bear partv had evidently been anticipating the coming of this forced liq uidation by their large selling of last week, so that they were ready to bay stocks In order to cover their short contracts and take their profits today. Buying of this character forced fractional advances 'n Union Pacific and Southern Paclflc In the very face of the opening tide of liquidation, which wa aggravated by the accumulation over Sunday of Belling orders by mall, tele graph and cable from all quarters. It also developed during the day that while the local banking houses were calling loans the foreign banking houses in the city Were In abundant funds. They were able to make loans on call at 7 per cent. The ex change market was resorted to to replen ish the fund for this lending, so that the call loan rate was forced down to 6 per cent even while the active borrowing- of the day was still In progress and money rates broke to nominal figures after the de mand had been natlsfled. The sterling rate broke 611 to 65 points under the flood of loan bills offered, posted riteg were twice re duced 4c at a time. At the same time sterling declined at London and Paris. In dicating the extension of the New York pressure over a wider field. New York ex change at Chicago also recovered to par, compared with 20c discount on Saturday. lth the Immediate apprehension regard ing the money supply thus relieved the pressure from the shorts became more acute and later In the day they rushed up Southern Pacific 4i over Snturdav'a ll The rise in Union Paclflc reached over 3 points, and In St. Paul, Manhattan and Amalgamated Copper over a point. Man hattan was a strong feature all day, said to be on pool buying, the opening rise In the stock being 14. The violent advance In the price of copper both here and In London helped the rise In Amalgamated. In the active lists the earlier lohses, which ran from 1 to 2 points In many cases, were gradually wiped out and the net gains reached as much as a point In quite a num ber of leading railroads and specialties. The influence of the failure In the dry goods trade announced on Saturday af.er noon, which had been much dreaded, proved to be very slight, owing to the time af forded to sec j re explicit knowledge of the failure and the evidence that the trouble had been strictly localized. The bond market, which had been quite weak during the morning, recovered In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, iiar vulue. 33,180,000.

Pack ers here seemed to want the cattle, but they took advantage of the unfavorable reports from other points to buy their supplies lower. The beef steer market was a little slow In opening, as packers were bidding gen erally a dime lower. Some of the handy weight steers sold at prices that did not look much different from those paid at the close of last week. Heavy cattle, however, were slow sale and safely a dime lower than last Friday. Sellers did not like to take off that much, so that It was late In the day before a clearance was made. - The cow market, however, held up In very satisfactory condition. Cutters and the better grades of cornfeds sold without much trouble at steady prices. Handy weight heifers continued In good demand and were easy to sell at steady prices. Canners. though, sold at rather uneven prices, the same as they did last week, and sellers were calling the market on that c'.ass of cattle steady to a little lower. Bulls did not show any particular change, and veal calves also sold In just about the same notches they did last week. The demand for the better grades of stockers and feeders continued brisk, so that prices were. If anything, a shade stronger. Supplies of that class of cattle were very limited so that sellers had no trouble In getting satisfactory prices. The commoner kinds were mors or less neg lected, the same as usual, but still the prices paid were fully as good as those In fores at the close of last week.

H . . . 441 I 70 HOGS There was about an average sup ply of hogs h.-re today, and although pack ers ttarled In bidding a little lower, they failed to get the hogs, and finally had to raise their bids. The general market could be quoted steady to strong and fairly ac tive, the bulk of the offerings being dis poxed of by the middle of the forenoon. Along toward noon, however, a train ar rived with several cars, and those did not sell to as good advantage, so that the close was very slow and wak. The bulk of the good weight hogs sold from 37.15 to 37 20, and prime heavies sold largely from $7. .XI to 37.26. The medium weights went from 37.10 to 37.16, and the lighter loads sold front 37.06 down. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. I'r. No. Av. Sh.
