NEW TORK. Feb. 28 For an hour today
the stock market took on an appearance
of reviving animation. It then relapsed
into its recent condition of lethargy and
scarcely moved for the rest of the day. The
grounds advanced for the operations which
advanced prices In the first hour had to do
witrt unconfirmed rumors, for the most
part, and betrayed the professional origin
of most of the activity. Copper mines In
RitttM it mtnm 1 .1 t Km .4
an extensive combination was to be effected
among coppnr interests which were still
working tndenendontlv of each other. In
quiry In official quarters failed to verify
tnese assertions. The price of copper metal
In the I.ondon market suffered a reaction.
The published remarks of the head of the
American Smelting company permitted the
construction that a reduction In the divi
dend disbursement on the shares is in con
templation. The Influence of the various
rumors In circulation showed some waning
power, therefore, as the day advanced. The
report of a large extra olshursnmnnt by
tho Oregon Railway and Navigation com-
Pmy, one of the subsidiaries of the Union
aclflc, puzxled the trading element at the
Ptocg exrnsns-e greatly, owlnir to the in
tricacy of the financial returns between
tho various companies in that system. The
operation In Itself was regarded as largely
one of a change in bank accounts, but sur
mise was busy over a possible ultimate
bearing on the plan for sesrecatlon of In
vestment holdings of the Union Pacific, of
wnicn orrictai intimations have been given
from time to time. Money markets were
slightly affected bv the nmonratlons for
the March 1 settlements. The week's known
movement of money foreshadowed a loss
by the banks tomorrow, on sccount of the
week s absorptions by tho subtreasury of
nearly 3S.000.000 through withdrawals of
government deposits and also bv the re
tirement of national notes. While this Is
offset probably half by the receipts of cash
rrom me interior, the influx Trom the In
terior, nevertheless, shows a declining ten
dency.
Some late sustaining effects on prices
were exercised by the news that the Fowler
currency measure had been favorably re
ported to the houso at Washington. The
early advances, although not fully held In
the late dealings, were better maintained
than first movements have been previously
this week.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, pnr value,
$2,106,000. United States 8 and 4s, registered,
advanced 4 and the 4s, coupon, declined
4 per cent on call.

CATTLE Receipt were Tather light,
even for a Friday, and Included very few
strictly desirable cattle. The market was
rather tame, and for the most part prices
ruled about steady with yesterday and th
general run ot beef steers sold substan
tially In the same notches as toward the
close of last Week. Local dressed beef
men were not particularly enthusiastic
buyers at any time during the week, and
owing to the near approach of the lenten
season, the inquiry from eastern butchers
has not been very vigorous of late, as it
was a short time ago. While the under
tone of the trade has been rather weak,
the general market has shown compara
tively little change from day to day
and the altuation presents few new .fea
tures worthy of note. What few decent
cattle were offered today changed hands
In good season.
Butcher slock and canners ruled steady,
but values at the close are unevenly lower
than they were at the opening of the
week. The inquiry for the more desirable
grades has been well sustained through
out and prices have not weakened ma
terially, while medium and common stuff
has been In liberal supply and Indifferent
demand, and the trend of values has been
lower, the decline for the week amount
ing to about 10S 15c. Veal calves were in
limited supply, active demand and firm,
while bulls, stags, etc., sold at quotably
unchanged figures.
Business In stockers and feeders was
very limited, as both supply and demand
was small. Prices are somewhat easier
than a week ago on the heavy and rough
kinds. The volume of business, however,
has been rather small and the changes In
prices of little consequence.

HOG 9 The aupply fell far short of expec
tations and la'ly for this reason there
was a sharp adeuce In prices. Receipts at
other points were also considerably below
the estimates and there was a firmer feeling
in the trade at all points as well as a
broader general dtmand. Both local pack
ers and outside buyers showed the usual
preference for the heavy and butcher
weight loads, but the scarcity of these
compelled them to take a liberal proportion
In the good light weight stuff and brought
about a material improvement In the mar
ket for this class of hogs. The range of
prices has narrowed down somewhat of late
for this reason. Prices today were mostly
loo higher than yesterday and in some oases
aa much as 160 higher. The top was $4 40
as against $4 30 yesterday and th bulk
of the offerings sold at $4.1&j4.3u against
34.06u4.15 yesterday.

Business holds the ground recently recov

Idle machinery has resumed at the steel
mills than In any other leading Industry.
Many manufacturers find orders scaroe and
thera Is much complaint ot high prices,
while In Jobbing and wholesale departments
the large attendance of country merohants
Is not accompanied by the customary vol
ume of business. Dealers operate most con
servatively, providing only for urgent
needs, but low stocks supply a strong sta
tistical position that must eventually pro
duce activity In all departments. Consid

only 25 per cent of the normal volume of

Distribution of staple goods by Jobbers
tends to Increase ss the spring buying
season advances and the large numbers
of buyers' excursions draw merchants to

opinion that buying Is In a high degree

price reductions on winter weight goods
attract customers. Wholesale trade Is
quiet as a whole and cotton fabrics, nota

been sharply, cut; stock of the former are
reported to be piling up; reduced time
