March 11. The constant fluctuations In today's stock market re flected an unsettled and uncertain state of mind on the part of the professional trading element and I' required the utmost agl.lty by that part of the professionals known as scalpers to follow price changes. The average level, however, was gradually lifted and the market closed with one of the upward flurries In progrees and at about the top level of the day. There was a sensible relaxation of the pressure of forced liquidation, which the recent calling of loans by the banks has caused and soma recovery due to the covering of short con tracts Jy .bears was thereiore normal. Loans on call were made during the most active part of the day's money market at 6 per cent, end 6 per cent was the msx mum. For time money lenders were dis posed to hold firmly for' a 6 per cent rale, Lut the borrowers showed less urgency to secure funds, especially for the longer periods, and contented themselves with loans for three to four months where no concession was allowed for six months' period. There was nothing to show the course of this relief to the money situa tion, unless it might be the result if liqui dation in the stock market. The higher in terest rates resulted In some lending for the account of interior Institutions, which are also reported to b calling some loans at heme for the purpose of making these loans in Wall street. Sterllif ex change was considerably firmer today and there was quite a falling off In the of ferings of loan bills. The advance in money rates In London and the Jump of sterling at Paris of 1 centime showed the ob stacles arising to the extensive borrowing abroad for account of New York, which has been In progress. The sub-treasury also continues Its kiroad uncn the New York money supply, the loss to that In stitution yesterday amounting to $673. Olio. This brings the absorption since Friday up to the close cf business yesterday to $3,147,000. Since the first of 'February this government Institution has withdrawn from the New York money market something like $20,000,000. This state of affairs in a period of stringency gave special signifi cance to the visit in Wall street today cf the secretary of the treasury. The con viction was general, notwithstanding the official disclaimers, that some measures of relief for the local money situation were In contemplation. This was really the strong underlying Influence on the Improved speculative sentiment, though active play was still made on the con stantly changing rumors regarding the contest between the Harrlman and Keens Interests in Southern Pacific. A turn against the shorts In Metropolitan Street railway was also a factor. Official denials of published charges against the financial accounting of the company was the basis of the r trong upward movement in that stock. The advance In the price of copper gave an additional Impetus to Amalga mated. The conviction that treasury measures would relieve the money market seemed to be especially strong In lforeign money centers and Induced buying on the New York exchange of stocks to the ex tent of upwards of 60.000 shares. This wns an Important inflflence In the early firm ness. Nothing was learned up to the time of the close of the market of the details of any measures to be adopted by the treas ury department. ...

COTTON Mar ket opened steady at a decline of I polntn to an advance of 3 points and following the call displayed considerable hesitation and was a shade easier for a brief interval be cause of disappointing cables and the out look for heavier receipts for the day; then turned verv strong on continued flood re ports, bullish accounts from New Orleans anil an Improvement In the Kngllsh market with shorts leading the buying, particularly of March. The bull leaders also actively supported the market and the advance, slow at first, became more rapid as stop orders fvere reached and commission houses became more Insistent purchasers. The Liverpool market, which at the time of the New York opening was about 667 points higher, closed at an adva"ce of 1 fil24; points, and private cables from there indicated a very firm condition, with de mand active and excited. The New Or leans market also showed leading strength on the early advance, the spot markets of the south reported a hard finishing ten dency and a'l sorts of rumors were circu lated. The advance thus encouraged prices up to lo.ixie for March and 10.02c for May, or to within about 21 and 15 points of the highest of the season on these two options respectively, with the general list at that time showing a gain from the opening of Kill points 0.1 the nearby positions. But this level proved attractive to those having profits to take and In the early afternoon ling cotton began to come up In the mar ket In volume. It was rumored that tha bull clique were liquidating and Wall street interests who had recently elrcultled bull ihh views of the situation sold more or less openly. Port receipt, for the day fooled up 23.478 bales, against 19.114 bales last year. I'ndtr this pressure prices were aggres sively forced downward to th close, which was weak at the lowest of the session and about U'n-li points below the best of the day, while a not of 44j6Vi points as com pared with last rlKht's close.

Trading was brisk from start to tinlsh,. so that an early clearance was made. About the usual proportion of the receipts consisted of beef steers, but the quality was rather on the commonlsh order. In fact, there were no strictly good cattle on sale, so that the market on paper does not look very high. Taking quality Into considera tion, however. It la safe to quote the mar ket active and about a dime higher than yesterday. In otner worus all of yester day's decline has been regained. The cow market was alao active and gen erally a dime higher than yesterday. All kinds seemed to be wanted, so that the runners and cutters, as well as the good cows, sold to considerable better advantage than they did yesterday. There was not 11 very large supply of tow stuff on sale, so that everything was (.is posed of In short order. Light weight hellers of good qual ity in particular sold well. Bulls sold at strong to a dime higher prices, than were paid yesterday, but veal calves are still selling In the (mm? notches they have been lor several weeks pajt. The demand for Blockers and feeders was active again this morning and good strong prices wire paid for anything at all desir able. A good many warmed-up cornfetls sum rof teeners mis morning tor more man pUkcrs would give, in spite of the fact that the fat cattle market was quoted a dime higher than yesterday. Commun cattle were not in as brisk demand as the better frades, but at the same time they sold for ully as much aj was paid ycsierduy. Rep resentative saes: BEEF STEERS.

The light stuff, however, was neglected and left until the last. Buying was not very brink, however, and in fact there was only one buver that took hold w-lth much llle. By the time a third of the hogs had changed hands the market weakened and packers were then only bid ding about steady prices with vesterday. Sellers all thought they ougnt to g.t mora money, so that for a time very llttH busi ness was transacted. The bulk of the good weight hogs sold early from $7.30 to $7.8.1. with prime heavies selling from $7.3. to $i.4o. The medium weights sold from $7.2i to $7.30 and the lighter loads from $7.25 down.
