The feeble waver ing of prices In today stock market rep resented nothing more than the fatjous attempts of a tew small room traders to find a moveable spot In the market fr either an upward or downward course. The aggregate sales for the day fell to 171.900 shares. There was a day record of less than lfifi.OOO shares In August of last year. The lowest for the current year until today was touched on February 15, when 173.0X1 shares were sold. Tb market prove rigid against attempts to move It In either direction. The opening movement waa In clined downward today. Pari was re ported to be In a condition of nervou p prrhenslon over .the preliminaries to. the teulement. In tlila market the Fries were slightly heavier than the averaae. which was ac counted for rby the extremely unfavor able showing ttt rst earnings for January with a fall of nearly a million dollars from the level of last January, due both to an Increase In onerailna- expenses and a de crease In gruas earnings. Railroad reports for the day, were genorally unufavorahle with the notable exception of L'nlon Pa cific, which was able to show a reduction of expenses, which was expected to help out the expected gross. Toe market got no benefit on it until the pressure on Erie and the general list waa relaxed. The break In the copper price hurt Amalga mated Copper, but It rallied later. The dread of a Northern Securities de clsion waa plainly an Influence In the mar ket, but the potponement of the period of suspense unlocked no animation In the trading. lTlces hardened appreciably In the afternoon. ...

Pennsylvania was notably so on consideration of its annual statement. 1 nlted States Steel was ben efited by reports of a large purchase of pig iron ny tne corporation. 1 ho closing was very nrro nut Intensely dull.

The market-opened .slow .and generally a dime loner. Packcra did not Uke hold with any life.- and, in fact, some of them did not seem .to sure whether they got any hogs-or not. As a result the morning was well advanced before the bulk was dlspoaaU, of. .- The situation, however, kept getting worse Instead of better. There was a sharp break In provisions and pat-ken used that to pound the market still lower. rThe light weights-suffered In par ticular toward the close and salesmen railed the wlndup extremely dull and lo-it 2oc lower than Saturday. The bulk of the medium to good weight hogs sold from $5.15 to $6 i5, with the prime heavies from $5 25 to $5.40. The light weights sold from 14 10 risiwn The extreme close of the market was In very bad shape and at noon there ; were still ft good many hogs In first hands. Owing to the big break In provisions packers did not soem to be at all anxious for what was left and their bids were fully 20c lower than Saturday's market with some of the light weights even worse. In fact salesmen were unable In some cases to get even a bid on the light weights.

(Jtiier points also nau ratner limited nrttr ings, and that being the case, the tendency of prices was upward. Buyers were all out In good season and trading was active. The market on cornfed steers could safely be quoted active and strong to. a .dime higher. - Anything at all desirable change! hands readily at the advance, whereas the common kinds were rather neglected and Showed little Improvement In price. That class of offerings should be quoted steady to strong. The-quality of the cattle on sale this morning was nothing extra, so that the market on paper does not look particularly high. The cow market was also brisk, and) if anything, the Improvement was more pro nounced on cows and heifers than on steers. The medium to good grades showed the greatest Improvement, but It should ha remembered that the medium kinds suffered he worst lust week. The advances. was generally placed at around a dime, while some salesmen were calling the market as much as 104rl6o higher. It wait verv evident that packers all wanted a few fresh supplies, and aa offerings were limited, thev had to pay more money ror what they got. Canners, though, sold In much the same notches as they did last week, and, in fact, there has been very Uttlo change In ruling prices on that elasg of cattle for some time past. Bulla did not Improve n sympathy with steers and cowa. Trading was dull and prices about the same aa at the close of last week. Veal calves sold readily at fully steady prices. There were not many stockers and feed ers In sight this monilng, and with a falrlv good demand the better gradea roull be quoted active and strong, with others about steady.
