NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
IrregTilarity Kaxki the Moyement of
Prices of Securities.
NEWS IS GENERALLY BULLISH
Close la Utrons;, With Valaes at ae
Highest Level of the Day-'
Railroad Bonds Ir
regalar. NEW YORK, March 23. Irregularity
marked the movement of price In the
stock market today. Business was n mod
erate volume and haa been the case for
some time past, almost wholly professional.
There la still a dearth of public Interest,
not only in stocks, but In bonds as welt
Sentiment was bullish In the main, though
developments were not all of the sort to
make for increaaed confidence.
The day's budget of news included fore
casts of President Roosevelt's forthcoming
special message to congreas, concerning
which there was much diversity of opinion;
the first publlo report of the American
Sugar Refining company, showing unex
pectedly large caah assets and rash sur
plus; advices from the leading railway cen
ters, which bespoke a more cheerful view
of general conditions despite fears of a
coal strike; a reported decrease In the num
ber of idle freight cars, and a good crop
outlook. Dlnpatchea from New England
mill towns telling of further wage reduc
tion served to call renewed attention to
the labor situation. Rumors of a strike
on the Reading system depressed the coal
ers during the early session, the rest of
the railway list falling In sympathy, but
general recoveries were later registered.
Locally the day was devoid of Important
Incidents, apart from the definite an
nouncement that two erstwhile financial
Institutions the Oriental bank and the
Knickerbocker Trust company were about
to emerge from their difficulties. The
early movement of prices was more favor
able to the Industrial group than to the
rallera. Excepting the excellent statement
of the sugar company, which advanced
that stock smartly, there waa little to ac
count for the strength of Industrial sharea,
though the belief la gaining ground that
conditions In steel and iron and the metal
trade generally are beginning to take on
a more hopeful aspect. In the final hour
the market developed increased activity
and atrength under the lead of the Harrl
man and Hill Issues and the steel and
copper sharea, the movementa embracing
the . entire active list and aome of the
specialties. Among the Impelling causes
were the decision of the United Slates su
preme court, which overturn the Minne
sota freight and passenger law, declaring
the penalties Imposed excessive, and the
introduction of amendments to the Sher
man antl-tmat law. The closing was
strong, at about the high level of the day.
Foreign markets exercised little or no ln7
fluence here, though Americans rallied In
London, where business was restricted by
reason of the approaching settlement. No
Important railway earnings were reported
today, but those of some minor roads were
In line with recent returns, virtually all
showing a marked falling off In gross.
The money market waa without note
worthy Incidents, the rates for call and
time loans being practically unchanged,
with little demand. The payment to Wash
ington of a final Instalment of about $14,
000,000 of government moneys was accom
plished without disturbance. The greater
part of this sum waa disbursed by local
banks for their Interior correspondents.
Money Is accumulating here In unwonted
volume and the secretary of the treasury,
according to trustworthy reports, is likely
to make further withdrawals on or before
April 1.
In the bond market, United State regis
tered fours declined U per cent on call.
Railroads were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,400,000.

were supported locally as well as for Paris
sccount. American securities started stead
ily on the good New York bank statement,
but beyond professional support of Bteel
on good business reports the trading was
Insignificant, prices dropped In the fore
aoon. Tle receipt of the New York open
ing caused a slight Improvement, but the
buying subsided and the market closed
dull.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle continue
moderate at this point, with runs elsewhere
by no means excessive. No great change
was noted In today's cattle trade, but' the
market aa whole, wa In very satisfactory
condition.
The market cn beef steers opened In good
season In the morning and buyers started
out bidding in some caaes, at least, higher
prices for such stuff that just happened
to cult their needs. It looked at first as If
a good advance would be made, but buyers'
enthusiasm did not last very long and the
trade settled down to about a steady mar
ket a compared with last week. Some
ale weie poeslblr better than Friday'
lowest point, but nie market was certainly
no higher than Thursday. - The demand
was sufficiently active to effect a clearance
of everything in sight by 10 o'clock in Uie
morning. .
Good cow sold freely at last week's dol
ing prices, but there waa more or less com
plaint about, the medium to Inferior grades,
which were pretty generally a little lower
than last week or at least no better than
Friday's low point. Cows did not move off
quite so freely aa did steers and it was a
little later before a clearance waa effected,
but still the most of them sold la very good

reported. As a matter of fact, however,
only seventeen or eighteen cars were on

cara on sale the quality on an average
was not especially attractive, that Is, there
Were comparatively few real good killers.
The market, aa usual when the quality la
not overly attractive, waa a little alow, but
firlces were anywhere from steady to a
title stronger. Most everything changed
hands In very fuir season In the morning.
