NEW YORK. April 2. There was little
disposition to venture Into stock opera-
Ions while tne uncertainty continuea over
he settlement to be effected of the Erie's
financial difficulties. It wss known before
he msrket opened that the meeting or
he. Erin directors was set for 2 o'clock.
Thla prospect of snother Slock exchange
session passing wunoui any explicit in
formation being forthcoming on the vexed
Drohlem nf the Krle waa the cause of the
almost total suppresalon of market activity
during the greater part of the day. There
waa, however, a slow recovery rrom tne op
pression of the early part of the day and
some revival of animation aa the recovery
progreaaed. The recovery waa largely In
fluenced by rumors that favorable develop
ments were forthcoming In the Erie mat
ter. The Erie trouble weighs on sentiment
aa much from anxiety over the future de
velopments In Its finances as from fears
of the Immediate situation. There Is an
apprehension that the holders of the pres
ent unsecured notes of the company, and
which mature on April 8, might deal witn
the situation In a different mood were
they In possession of the notes fntended to
be offered In exchange' and aecured by
collateral. The financial public la unfavor
ably Impressed, also, by the signs of dis
agreement between important Interests In
the company with widely ramified repre
sentation througout the railroad world. The
occasional show of strength In today's
market was viewed with some distrust as
bring caused by possible supporting opera
tions to safeguard the market against ef
fects of some unfavorable development. A
further decline of pricea of copper at the
New York Metal exchange and reports of
accumulating stocks of that metal had to
be contended with by " thoBe seeking to
support stocks. The tenor of the repre
sentative revlewa -In the - Iron and sterl
trades was not encouraging to the conten
tion that revived activity waa being sus
tained In those baslo Industries. There
were suveral additional returna of rail
road earnings for February, and tho aver
age showing waa not conducive to confi
dence that net earnings were being mater
ially conserved by such economies as had
been found then practicable. The average
decrease In net earnings for February for
forty-one railroads already reporting la
snown to bo 23.34 per cent, compared with
February of last year, which showa no
Improvement over the January average of
declines. The cessation of aoft coal min
ing Is not favorable to an advance In
stocks, although the feeling persists that
the opportunity to work off stocks of coal
win further the chances for reaumptlnn to
advantage at a later date. Conditions In
the anthracite trade were reported better.
owing apparently to the effect of the spring
reductions In prices, which went into ef-
lect, according to custom, on April I.
The weak return of the Bank of France
was the feature of foreign financial news,
the effect being to raise the price of gold
and to stiffen the discount rate In the
London market, In spire of a strong re
turn py tne Bank or England. The pro-
poaed German loan caused some depres
sion of investment Isaucs, but the private
discount rate receded in Berlin. Some use
was made of revived reports that an ad
vance In freight rates waa to be permitted
and reaulted In stimulating' the late re
covery In stocks. It was not held and the
market had fallen back Into dull neglect
wnen tne day ended.
Bonds were steady. Total salea, par
value, 31.672,000. United States were un
changed on call.

CATTLE The light receipts today, fol
lowing the Bharp break of yesterday, were
welcome, aa they afforded a breathing spell
for the market. Under the Influence of the
light offerings Uin market remained about
steady at the decline noted yesterday.
There was some little inquiry for beef
steers, but Hdvlccs' from all selling points
indicated slow markets and the trade here
was by no means active. As prices yes
terday, as usual when there Is a big break,
were very uneven, there was naturally a
considerable difference in opinions among
the sellers today, their estimates of today's
market depending Upon the way they got
out yesterday. The general market could
hardly be quoted otherwise than steady,
with most of the stuff selling In reason
able season in the morning.
What has been said regarding the steer
trade, would apply In equal degree to
cows and heifers. Some salesmen who got
out at the low tlmo yeaterday looked upon
today's market as strong, while others who
sold at the high time yesterday quoted
their sales today as weak. The average
market, however, was not, quotabiy
changed.
There were very few Blockers and feeders
In sight today and not many wanted. The
very best feeders have been good sellers
all the week, but Inferior kinds of feeders
and all kinds of light Blockers have been
slow, and speculators, who bought freely
during the early part of the week, have
found It hard work to unload, nils was
to be expected, however, as a natural out
come of the break in fat cattle.

BHEEP There was a moderate run of
sheep this morning, but among the number
reported in tnere was quite a sprinanng or
desirable killers. The feeling on the msret
was greatly Improved over what It waa
yesterday and prices on lambs especially
were stronger, a considerable part of yes
terday's decline being made up. Thus
strictly good Mexican lambs sold up to
3s. 10, as high aa has been paid any time
so far this season. A string of Mexloan
ewes brought 38.70, which was within 6c
of the top paid so far this season. While
the feeling wss better and prices a little
higher, there was no great activity to the
trade and It took a great deal of work
on the part of sellers to unload at satis
factory prices.
