NEW YORK, Marcn 18.-The stock mar
ket gave evidence todav of the nntin.iH
operation of considerable force In the
i-iit-cuiaiion. ine movement shifted so con
stantly, however, and nreaenteri aur-h ih.m
contradictions In some of Its demonstrations
mm 11 nan me errect or greatly unsettling
and confusing speculative sentiment and
increasing suspicion until stocks were un
loaded In haste. Tho strong recovery In
yesterday late market waa held to be an
infalllable sign that the bull leadership
had let down prices on Monday and early
yesterday merely for the purpose of shak.
Ing off a weak speculative following and
u. ""'vantage of buying haxk stocks
which they had themaelvea sold out at a
profit. The sharp break whlrh developed
today after a moderate advance proved dis
concerting to this view or the situation.
Incidents In the flay' news were sgainat
a rise In prices. The market allowed pri
mary reslatanee, however, to tho principal
of these, which was reduction in the New
York Central dividend rate from a 6 to a 6
per cent basis. This action caused no great
surprise as the original advice In the div
idend rate was regarded. In the view of the
as e"-lns; rather on the making
attractive of new Issues in contemplation
than on the rate of earnings of the com
pany. Tho New York Central was one of
the earliest to suffer from the heavy In
roads on net earnings caused by Increase
or expenses, and the maintenance of the
dividend has been long In doubt. The ef
reet or the announcement Is even more pro
nounced on either trunk lines' stock, nota
bly Pennsylvania, than on New York Cen-
l- v!"""1'- JT1,e pffe,-t WR "Kgravated by
the heavy decline In net earnings for Feb
ruary reported by the Baltimore & Ohio.
The authoritative statement carried In the
Associated Presa dispatches from Washlng
LonKC!Pa,rly ,1"fln,' " much discussed
probability of a special message from the
EiTf'ST1 re'atl" " legislative measures
?L lcr. .?v"..bw!n """J" of conferences at
the White House for some time past. With
that subject thus removed from the realm
of mystery much of the occupation was
gone for an element which has made use
in the atock market of vague rumors of
thl subject. The omission of the dividend
on tho Union Typewriter stock, although
that stock Is not dealt in on the Stork ex
change, was of some effect In sentiment
1 an . ",v'dence of a prevailing tendency.
The picking out of National I.ead for a
Sham advance evIHentltr was . 1
Ing effect on the general list, and was based
upon u sustained dividend record and the
dlaproportlon of Its price to the dividend
compared with other prominent Industrial
stocks. The effect, however, was to ag
gravate the general weakness rather than
to relieve It The knowledge that men In
fluential In the steel trade were In confer
ence, in this city and Intimations that trade
conditions here reported were not benrlng
out recent prediction of betterment,
weighed on tho market severely and made
the moat suhatantial factor In the weak
neaa which developed. The Illinois Central
financial plan, although involving valuable
privileges to stockholders at the present
price of the atock. did not save that stock
fully from tho general weakness. Final
alight recoveries from the low point of the
break were plainly due to hasty covering of
short sales. "

were not offered for sale.
While th general market was quoted
by most operators a steady, there were
a a matter of fact high apots and low
spots. Thu choice Mexican lamb, which
were lower yesturday. selling at 17.35, were
back today Where they were th flrt of
the week, a choice bunch going at 17.50,
which I a high as anything ha sold
for o far thl year. On the other hand,
th medium kinds nt fat i.

..i minus were again in very active
demand, the barn being full of buyer look
ing for that kind of stuff. Th result was
good, active trade on feeders, with prices
trong. Quite a little trlng of feeder lamb
old up to $ .80. the highest price paid for
feeder so far thl year.
