NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Doll Depression Hangs Over the Mar
ket All Day.
SUAE P BREAK NEAR CLOSE
Declines Range From One to Three
Points, With Last Prices
Lowest -Ronda Are
HST.
NEW YORK. March 81. Dull depression
hung over the stock market leading up to
something like a crash at the last today.
There were some developments, which were
pointed to as being responsible for the drop
in prices. The tendency toward reaction
finds a more general explanation, however.
In the fact that the rise In prices had been
pushed to its feasible limits by all the
devices available to skilled speculative
eadershlp until tho natural attraction ot
the high prices established brought out
a pressure of selling, which was beyond
the capacity of the supporters of prices
to absorb.
The special depressing factor today was
the obscurity surrounding; the intended
course of those controlling the Erie rail
road property. The adjournment yesterday
of the directors without promulgating any
plan tor meeting the Impending financial
requirements of the company was disturb
ing to those holding the securities of the
company. Beside the Interest amounting
to about $500,000 on convertible bond issues
payable tomorrow and the $5,500,000 of one
year notes, which fall due on April 8 and
which sold today at 82, there are known
to be other heavy floating liabilities to be
met, The view that the company will bo
safeguarded from bankruptcy was founded
on the great independence resources at the
command of the great banking house,
which Is the principal sponsor for the com
pany. That thla assumption of a meana of
rescue did not entirely reassure all holders
of the securities was evident from the wide
declines from bonds "of different classes of
the company were sold at the stock ex
change. There was suggestive sympathy
in tha movement of Issues of companies
under the auspices of tho same bankers
and which are similarly strained for
financial meana to meet urgent require
ments. A line of policy to be adopted by
an authority so Influential In the financial
world will be regarded aa an expression
of opinion over the future course of af
fairs, at leant those concerning railroad
properties. That the financial prospects of
railroads are not brlsrht Is brought home
to conviction by this episode. Not only the
notes of the Erie, but those of railroad
companies of high grade continue to be
quoted at varying discounts and at a rate
of return-wholly out of line with the in
terest rates to which loans on time have
fallen In the money market. The provi
sion for tho maturity of $6,000,000 of Rock
Island 4H per cent notes falling due to
morrow Includes an offer to holders for a
one year extension at 6 per cent, and ap
parently the attraction or tnis oner nas
hot been sufficient to determine a consider
able number of the holders from present
ing thorn for redemption. These unpro
prltious conditions for financing railroad
requirements are a serious Impediment to
tho setting on 1001 again 01 rauruuu activi
ties In the way of outlay for Improvements
and betterments. The prevailing mood was
reflected In the uneasiness professed over
the possible reduction of the dlviaena on
Atchison at the meeting 01 tne Qireciore,
which is scheduled to take place tomorrow,
Action on the Anaconda dividend was ex
pressed today and when the session drew
towards a close without any announcement
on the subject, rumors were, circulated of
a reduction. The declaration 01 tne unre
rineed dividend, however, failed to rally
the market and last prices were practically
the lowest and wltn signs 01 a .gooa utu
of disorder. Declines of 1 to 8 points and
over are general.
Bonds were heavy. Total saiea par vaiue,
$2,386,000. United Statea bonds were un
changed on call.

CATTLE Receipts were quite sixeable for
Tuesday, both here and at other selling
points as well. The general market was In
fair shape as compared with yesterday,
with no very great change In the general
situation.
Beef steerfc. while more active than yes
terday, were not as free sellers as on a good
many days of late. Buch cattle as buyers
happened to want sold quite readily and
quite a considerable proportion ot the re
ceipts changed hands In fair season. On
the other hand, there were a good many
cattle that were for some reason or other
hard to move at satisfactory prices. As
Is always to be expected after such a sharp
break as took place yesterday there was
difference of opinion among the sellers,
Some who felt the full force of the de
cline yesterday, thought that they secured
good, strong prices today, others were
figuring the market as steady at yester
day's decline, and still others thought they
were hardly able to do as well as yester
day.
Cows and heifers were in better demand
this morning and the market on desirable
fat stuff was fairly active at prices that
were mostly 54.100 hlvher than yesterday.
On the other band, the medium and less de
sirable kinds did not show very much
change.
Oood feeders having some weight and
quality sold at steady to strong prices, but
there were uulte a good many smalt ana
Inferior Blockers In the yards, which were
hard to move at any price.

later than usual before a clearance was
effected. Packers were very plainly bear
ish In their views. They were claiming
hat prices have been advancing too rap
idly and from their standpoint are danger
ously high. It was also plain that the
eastern markets Is not absorbing the high
priced mutton as rapidly aa anticipated.
These features and the further fact that
advices from Chicago were weakening was
at the bottom of the prevailing dullness in
the market.
While the trade was slow, packers picked
out some of the best of the offerings, for
which they paid about steady prices. Thus
the best ' lamps sold up to $8.10, the same
price that was paid for the same stuff last
week, some spring iambs, the nrst 01
the season, brought $10. A bunch of Colo
rado western ewes sold at $6.76, the highest
price paid so far this season tor ewes.
mere were no onoice weiners or 1 curlings
of any account to make a test of tne
market
While packers, as noted above, picked
out the best stuff at steady prices, the
medium arrades were very slow and lower.
As a matter of fact, the medium kinds of
both sheep and. lamba have on account ot
the moderate receipts been Belling pretty
close up to the best, and the action ot
packers today was In the way ot making
a wider spread between them.
