Irregularity waa aealn the most characteristic feature of the stock market today. The undertone waa hoavv at tha outset with seversl maniieei- attons of strength, but In the main hesitat ing. There was steady selling 01 ine mosi active Issues, notably the steels and Union Pacific and board room gossip credited me more Influential speculative element with favoring a reaction. This feeling seemed to be based on the belief that the general sit uation, morn particularly business In mer cantile lines, docs not warrant a further rise at this time. Ther Is at best only a small Increase In commission house busi ness and the bulk of today's operational waa as-aJn DrofMslonal. Announcement 01 me resumption on April 1 of full time at the Reading collerlos gave stimulus to Reading and other coal snares. Iatel anvices aeai- ln with the steel and Iron trade were noi especially encouraging. According to the best autnontiea a ha.it in me voiums 01 new business has set In during the last fortnight and the Improvement noted In the latter part of January and throughout February has not been maintained. Con tinued dullness is ' reported In - all grades of pig Iron. On the other hand, It was asserted In trustworthy quarters that the demand for copper has forced that metal higher. Union Paclflo fluctuated feverishly and broke from la to lisw wnen u De came known that the new financing plan contemplates an Issue of perhaps IfiO.OOO.O bonds. The streot was plainly disappointed at the news, also at the failure of develop ment regarding tho so-called Union pacific "segrcgn,tlon plan." Southern Pacific, which developed unusual activity and strength In the early session, lost some 01 us gains and the list as a whole registered declines. X nero wrre fmruiti reuuveuw, iiunw.ni, but In tha final hour the market showed diminished force, with renewed attacks by the short Interests. The close was steady. with Drlcee rallying. From abroad tha only noteworthy feature was the weekly report of the Bank of Kngland, whose reserves declined to 48.60 per cent, against 61.1 per cent last week. This exhibit, however, was vastly better than that reported by the same Institution a year ago. Monetary can ditions were unchanged, there being llttK dtmand. Oroes earnings of forty railroads for the second week of March show a decerase of 12.44 per cent compared with the corresponding week last year. For the third week of this month ten roads show a falling off of 12.78 percent. The bond market was Irregular, with gov ernment Issues unchanged on call. Total sales. Dar value. 84.170.0u0.

Tha market, however, so far as this point was concerned, lacked the snap and life of nrevloua days this week Buyers of beer steers started out witn the evident Intention of buying the cattle lower this morning and first bids were along that lino. As saleemen were not prepared to take off It naturally followed that the trade was much slower than on previous days and the morning was very wen advanced oeiore anyining like a cleaning was effected. In the end sellers who happened to have such cattle buyers especially wanted figured that they got pretty close to steady prices. As high as 37.00 was paid, which Is the highest price reached, so far. Outside of the most desirable gratlea the market was slow to dime lower. , - The market on cowa and heifers lacked the anap so characteristic of the trade yes terday, but still there was not much of any change In prices, at least not enough to quote. As a rule salesmen were reporting tneir sales as steady witn yesterday. mere is a reeling tnat feeders have been selling too high and with beef cattle not overiy active mere was a disposition on the part of operators to go a little slow this morning.

While packers hung back tbey had to coma to It without the hogs and everything; waa finally sold before midday. Ths bulk of the hogs sold at 34.964i6.OS, as against 34.fl5ft4.90 yesterday.
