NEW TORK. March 14-The market
aatted for the ap;enranne of the hank
statement todsy to show anv clearlv defined
sentiment. Trader on the floor Irtd up
prices smartly on the appearance of the
ststement. but no response was received
from art- outside ouarter and the market
closed dull and easy, with the moments.'y
demand exhausted. It was onlv bv reduc
ing loans to the extent of over Sln.tMi w
and lessening the legal reserve require
ment in proportion that the banks were
able to prevent a deep Inroad upon the
legal reserve That Item show a su-plus
of barely ll.ono.oiii still maintained. The
statement confirmed expectations as the
cessation of calling of bank bv the latter
part of 'lie week Indicated that the losses
of reserves hud been made good br the loan
contraction already effected. There wa
another deposit of CiKi.ono at the eubrreas
ury this morning for transfer to New rr
leans. The week a Import of merchanfllse
ai New Tork were valued at Sl6.0.M. an
Increase over the previous week of tS.ilf.,S74.
hlch shows the continued heavy require
ment for custom payments Today
large suhtreasury debit at the clearing
bouse was due 10 the pavment of an Old
Connecticut war claim. These are not hope
ful symptom for next week's Influences
upon the banking reserve. The disburse
ment on Monday of the S2w.nno.MHi Standard
t'll dividend Is of better augury, but there
has been an opportunity to anticipate this
benefit, which Is likely to have been iihc
leeted. A drop of S In Consolidated Gas
and of t It t'nlon Gas was due to the rec
ommendation for municipal street light
ing plant for New Tork. MetrojMitltan
Street Railway scored sharp recovery on
the official offer to submit its book for In
spection in connection with charges of Ir
regular accounting.
An Important Influence in the week"s
sjieculation has been the contest regarding
the financial policy of the Southern Pac'flc
between the Harrlman or t'tilon Pacific
control In that company and a minority In
terest represented by the holdings of a
speculative pool under the management of

Cfttka Market.
NEW TORK, March 14 COTTON The
market opened strong at a rise of linp-M
points and soon showed a rise of 2K6r2H
points a compared with th oloaing yes
terday. The enational rise thus Indicated
was due to a great surprise furnished bv
today's cables, which. Instead of showing
a decline of lf6 points, which would have
matched the New Tork closing of yester
day, resetted an advance of 16 points.
According to private cable, the English
rise wa the result of the -renewed and
energetic buying order from Alexandria,
the Egyptian eeulstors having gone over
to the bull side of th account. While
Jobbers wer said tc be short to Liver
pool. The New Tork contingent wa en
tirely taken by aurprlee. The short made
a struggle to cover, but seller were scarce
and not until May cotton had sold up to
.R7c wa the upward movement arrested.
From tht point there wa a decline to
k.74c, but th market remained very active
and howed evidence of renewed Interest
on the part of the bull pool. The trading
was centered largely In May contracts, in
which of late a very considerable ah ort
Interest had been trusted. Operations, how
ever, also were heavv lh July and August.
During th early excitement the new croft
conditions were quite neglected. There
was some Investment demand on a spread
ing belief that the movement of cotton
to follow better climatic condition may
not Justify expectatloiia.

If 6,234 Mil
t AH 1-.1C There were a Xew bunches of
cattle In the yards this morning but still
not enough with which to make s test of
the market. For the week upplle have
teen fairly liberal, as there is a slight
gain over the corresponding week of last
year, but as compared vith last week
there Is a slight failing off.
The beef steer market this week has been
rather uneven. On Monday and Tuesday
the tendency of prices was downward, but
on Wednesday and Thursday prices ad
vanced, mhlle on Friday the market wa
rather weak again. A compared with the
close of last week, however, there 1 not
much change In price. Medium and handv
weight cattle have been Belling to the best
advantage, and the decline yeaterdav waa
mostly on the good heavy cattle. Th bulk
of the fair to good cattl la now selling
from 84. 0U to K.bu. good to choice 84 tug 4. kb.
and strictly prime from S4.8& to to 26.
The cow market has also fluctuated back
and forth to some extent, but tlU th
change from day to day have not bee a
quite aa great a was the case with steers.
Trading wa fairly active on most day ana
tin price paid yesterday were very much
the same as those in fore t the close of
last week. Canners are veiling largely
from 82 fcti to 82. 76, fair to good cow from
12.80 to S2.&U. and good to choioe from 83.80
to 84.25.
Bulls have sold to better advantage this
week than last, and prloe are. If anything,
a little higlrt-r. As high a 84.UO has been
paid for good fat bulls. Veal calves ar
also a little higher, as S6.2& waa the top
lust week, while bM i the beet price this
eek.
The demand for stocker nd feeders has
been brisk all the week and In excess of
the supply. A a result trading was active
every, day and the tendency of prices up
ward. Th better grades are fully limine
higher than - week ago, and In extreme
cases the advance looks even greater than
that. Choice feeders may be quoted from
84.2k to t4.tr. fair to good from 82.78 to 84. 26,
and the common grade from 82.00 to S3.7a.

The volume of sound ha nothing to do
with the action of these Inetrutnrnt Th

wave apparently disregard the mechanism
of the outer ear and tPerta the Inner ear

The first patient brought out lo try the

tried to make him bear In Tarlous say,
but all his effort sere In vain.

The little Instrument was then clsppei
on the lad's ear. the current swltrbed on
and Mr. Hutchison said in an ordinary con
versational tone "papa." The youth worked

"He aaya he can hear omethlng. hut doet
not know hat 11 Is," remarked Prof. Ta
Taasell. aho sat in charge of the children.
The current waa made stronger. Th
youth's eyeball were ralaed and he smiled.
Then he trlpd to repeat the rllMw and In
a weird treble cried shrilly "pap-pap."
Noticing that the patient was becoming
quite excited over hla novel experience, Mr.
Hutchison suggested that one of the glrli
be brought Into the reception room.
She could not hear a aound. so matter
bow km d, right against her ear, hut rhen
she had the earpiece of tbe instrument
fastened to her head and the pianist at tht
end of the room began to play her t-.heeka

table.
Another girl, horn flcaf. dumb and blind
clapped her hands In ecstasy when cht
heard her own voice ay "mamma" snd
reached out wistfully toward the plane
when the musician stopped playing and tb
new harmonies died out of ber ear, but
lingered in her memory.
