THE OMAHA
NEW YORK STOCKS AND B05DS
Current of Market Changes So Often
that Speculators Are Confused.
UKION PACIFIC LEADS ADVANCE
Steel Issnea Become Hearr and
Ad Tersely A Vert the Market
Rally oa Bank Statement
Makes CSoaio Strong.
NEW TORK, March 87.-Prlces moved
continuously In today's stock market, but
the course of the movement changed so
often as to leave speculative sentiment
thoroughly confused. In one Important
stock could be discerned signs believed to
point to distribution going on, while In
another appearances would Indicate care
ful manipulation for the puriKise of se
curing stock as cheaply as possible, polot
Ing to accumulation.
The action of Union Pacific had an Im
portant Influence on the whole list by
sympathy, The bad Impression created by
yesterday's annuiuicement of a coming Is
sue seemed to pass away after a period
of early depression. Hanking officials
credited with the financing Intimated that
the first reports ot dimensions of the im
mediate proposed Issue had been exag
grated. Stories were thereupon revived of
the plan for segregation of Union Pacific
Investments for distribution to stockholders.
The stock turned strong; turned again and
carried the whole market with It. The
heavy tone of United States Steel in the
early dealings weighed on the whole mar
ket and the source of the selling was made
cause for suspicion and for rumors of dis
tribution by Important Inside Interests. The
Copper securities had the advantage of
another rise in the price of the metal here
and abroad, and reports from London of
an Improvement In the general market con
ditions of the market. Reports regarding
conferences over wage conditions in the
soft coal trade varied widely, as they came
from different districts, and this may have
accounted for some confusion In the price
movement of soft coal carriera.
The compilations of the weekly currency
movement showed that the accumulation of
cash here was going on unlnteruptedly.
With the large payments made to the sub
treasury on account of ths return of gov
ernment deposits the gain of 32.733,030 made
by that Inutltutlon at the expense of the
banks waa amply explained. Receipts on
balance from the interior by express have
been on so liberal a scale as evidently to
outweigh this draJn and establish a cash
gain of probably between 31,000,000 and
32.O00.0OO. It Is not supposed that the
United States treasury will be able to
avoid further calls upon depositories, as
the current deficit In the revenues neces
sitates the paying out of Its available cash
balance. These payments In excess of the
current Income, however, obviously operate
to return sums to the channels of the
money market and to restore the, amounts
drawn down from government deposits.
The government's operations, In fact, are
not Interfering with the growing ease of
the money conditions. Confidence in con
tinued ease of money Is expressed among
Stock exchange borrowers by unwillingness
to borrow sums on time In the reliance
of a cheaper call loan rate, while for
eign money markets show some occasional
stiffness, was not unrelated to the day's
rise in foreign exchange rates. The strong
banking forecast helped the later stock
market and the earlier uncertainty was
largely discarded In a vigorous upbldding
of prices to a strong closing.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, 83,472.000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

CATTLE Receipts of cattl this morning
were quite liberal for Fruray, but as in
very apt to be the case toward the last of
the week the trade was not overly- active.
In fact there was a reaction In the market
on beef bteers, the same as took place on
Friday of last week. That there should be
a reaction was not at all surprising con
sidering that the market this week had ad
vanced right around 80c on good fat steers.
The market opened very slow and dull
on beef steers and continued so throughout
the session. As a whole the trade might
be summed up as slow st a decline of liXg
15c. as compared with yesterday.
Possibly some of the strictly good to
choice cows may have sold close to steady,
hut the general market was alow to a dime
lower.
Comparatively few stockers and feeders
were on sale today, but there was a very
fair feeling on the market as regards the
better grades and the few offered com
manded about steady prices.

HOOS There was a wild runaway mar
ket down in the hog division this morning.
The trade opened slow, shippers bidding
about 15c higher, and they bought a good
many hogs that way, but later on aa the
newa of the excitement prevailing at other
market poihts was received, and as it be
came apparent that buyers ' here really
wanted the hogs, the market became fully
26c higher, closing that way. The hogs
sold largely at t5.15&r5.25, with a top at
15 33. Yesterday the hogs went largely at
15.(4.(16. with a top at $5.10. While the
early market was slow, the late market
was very active and everything was dis
posed of by 10 o'clock In the morning.
