Tod.iy"s business at the stock exchangf aggregated bar.dy 2OJ.O0O shares, which is tack to the low level of activity. The fact that Friday is the date also for the expiration of the Soutnern Pacific pool confirmed the dls- fosltlon to keep out of the market. There s an almost Infinite variety of conjectures, as to what the effect of this event will be upon th; markec at large. The possible event most dreaded Is the throwing over of the large holdings of the pool following the expiration of the pool agreement, but there Is a well denned suspicion that the expert managers of the pool have not waited until this time In a fulling market t" protect themselves against those neces- ! sltles of forced liquidation. The profes l nal operators In stocks and th com mission houses cling to the belief that th? clearing un of this uncertainty moy lead to an awakening of activity in trading. The distinct easing of the money market yes terday seemed to give no reiiet from tne pressure of liquidation. Today there was distinct relaxation of this pressure to sell and effective support at some points when the selling was continued, but the market continued to hang In a suspended and lnarlmated condition. There were some stocks. It Is true. In which there seemed to be some further liquidation, but the market leaders were free from this pres sure and inclined to advance, without, how over. Inducing any general rwponce Yesterday's weakness In the United States steel stocks was sufficiently explained by the decrease in net earnings for the past quarter reported after the closing yester day. The corporation's new -6 per cent bond dipped to a low record price on the curb this morning, at ?3c, but a complete recovery lollowtd. The buying of the stocks on the exchange was confidently attributed to the account or Inside and syndicate Interests, such as have not been perceptible In these stocks for a long tlms past. This support had a good sympa thetic effict on the general stock. The heavy selling of Rock Island, which was a feature yesterday continued today from the same sources, but there was evidence of Inside support In this stock also. Amal gamated Copper was decidedly weak In connection with the violent relapse of 1 17s 6d per ton In the London price on copper. There was some attempt to cin nect the selling of Amalgamated with the Involved speculative conomon in ine cor fee market. Prospects In the money market were considered favorable, but an advanc to 7 per cent In the call loan rate In the day somewnjt innea mis connaence. ine hanks have gained a small nniuuol from the sub-treasury since Friday and the movement of currency on the Interior ex change Is believed to favor New York. Much Importance was attached also to a report from Philadelphia thit the Pennsyl vania has atartfd f40.00o.00ii six month loin maturing In Ju.ie. with the proceeds of the first Installment of subscription to Its new stock.

NEW YORK. April 8.-COTTON Opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of 3 points, and following the call displayed further weakness, particularly on the May and July options, as a result of lower ca bles than expected, full port receipts for the day and continued liquidation. Further rumors concerning the probability of cotton coming to New York for delivery on May contracts may have had something to do with the early selling of the nearby options. But trading was quiet during the entire ses sion and when May had reached 10.20c and July 9.&2c the market was supported by the bull pool, which bought more or less openly. The rally which followed was encouraged by the stronger tone of the New Orleans market, which showed a gain of about 3 points over last night's finals. Rut after the Initial break the market ruled Irregu lar and seemed to be dominated almost en tirely by the bull leaders, who however, apparently had in mind merely the sustain ing of prices In the nearby options. May, which sold up to 10.83c, or 13 points over the lowest of the session. From this point, however, there was another slight reaction under realizing and the market was finally quiet, with May and April net 1 point hleher while the" other options were un changed to 6 points lower.

Beef steer buyers took hold In good shape this morning and the market ruled very active, with prices on all desirable grades 6ij'10e higher than yesterday. The heavy cattle Improved the same as the light weights and as the cattle began to move toward the scales at an early hour the pens were cleared before the middle of the fore noon. It was the most active market that has been experienced In some little time. The quality of the offerings was about the same as of late. The bulk of the cattle sell from $4.46 to $4 05 and there are compara tively few short-feds showing up In the receipts. The cow market was fairly active and Just about steady with yesterday. The de mand was liberal, so that practically every thing on sale was soon disposed of. The quality today was. If anything, better than yesterday, so that, although cannera and common cutters were alow sale, there were not enough of them to cause the market to drac. Buns, veal calves and stags also sold freely at good steady prices. There were quite a few stockers and feed ers In the yards, but the demand for the better grades was sufficient to hold prices steady. As high as $4.80 was paid this morning, which Is the highest price In Dome time past. There were 60 head of them, all whitefaces, that averaged 941 pounds. The1 common grades of stockers ana feeders' were slow sale, the same as usual. The demand from the country was somewhat better yesterday and about 40 cars were shipped out. but It was notice able that practically all the buyers wanted the better grades.

The quality of the hulk of the offerings however, was rather on the common order, so that the market on paper does not look very high. A string of wostern yearlings sold aa high as $6 65 and some clipped sheep and year lings brought $6.30. Good stuff Is selling as high as at any time, but the part-fat kinds are a good deal lower than they were a week or ten days ago and are slow sale at the decline.
