NEWKORR STOCKS AND BONDS Market Again Refntei to Respond to Newt Developments. OIL VERDICT HAS LITTLE EFFECT Trader Wit Roaaht atorka Wednes day Afternoon la Anticipation f Rise Are Forced to ell at a Loss. NEW YORK. March 11. The perplexitlea of the room traders were added to by the want of responsiveness In the slock market today to any news developments. S.ich a dullness Is rsxely witnessed on the New York Stock exchange. It was supposed that the ending of the government's suits aga nat the Standard Oil company would revive some animation in the market. Reasoning from the extreme pertubatton of speculative sentiment which followed the Infliction of the 29.000,000 fine on this company the professions! market operators expected some Inflow of buying orders to follow the acqultal of the company. They bought a few stocks late yesterday expecting to sell at higher prices to buyers who might be attracted today by the Stanard Oil decis ion. There was no siich demand, the real ising sales consequently forced prices down wsrds. Acute weakness developed In the Brie Issues, accompanied by rumors of a coming receivership. Th news from Washington, pointing to the future of the tariff revlalon was of more effect In clogging the activity of the market than events nearer at ham!.' The assembling of the conference over snthra cite mining wages presented another Issue of which the solution Is awaited. A few Slocks moved under the Impulse of special cause; sugar Industrials on the report that import duties would be untouched; tobacoo because of the record earnings re ported for last year, and so on In a few other cases. Arrangements were reported for the export to lxindon of St.oou.uoo In eaglea on Saturday notwithstanding the easier tone of Iondnn discounts. The de mand for money In the local marks today was called practically dead, the only sign of demand being for funds for a year at t"4 per cent. Bonds were steady. Total te, par value, 3.O40,(i00.

The general marl.et ronld be quoted loajlle lower than yester day. It will be remembered hewexer. that 1'iere was conalderable variation In tl.e market yesterdsy. depending upon the t'n t of dsy, so that If a comparison was made with yesterday's close, for example, it wo'tld not show as much decline as If com. pared with salea made earlier In in day. The movement todav was rather uneven, the market being quite active In one di vision of the ysrds. so that prvtty much everything In sight sold In gool season, while 1n some other rrts of the yard It waa more or less or a drag an me tore noon. Later trains carne In heavily loaded, until there was a total of IM cars on ssle, msk Ing It the largest run since Jsnusry of Iset veer, when 27 rsrs were received on one day. With such sn unusvislly hesvy run, it wss not surprising thst the msrket con tinued lottfloe lower, closing slow and weak at the low point of the day. A feature of the market at the present time la the tendency of heavy and good light weights to sell closer tog-ether then was the case a abort time ago. The apread between the. ten appears to be gradually closing up. aa will be noted from the sales. Ns.. A. . Pr. Ke. A. te. Pr. Ii0 .101 ia.i fei .144 40 I IS .'. 4 14 ft lit 40 4 tf. ...

The market as a whole was In fair condi tion and opened without any very new fea tures being displayed. In fact the early market was generally quoted as just about steady by both buyers and sellers. The trade wss not very active, but still there was a fair demand so that a good share of the cattle sold in reasonable Reason. Itopreseutatives of packing houses were out In the yards in fair season looking for beef steers, but, as a seller remarked, they did not look very hard "to begin with, ' the trade on the oirfning being rather slow, later on It livened up and the more de airable of the klllurs changed hands before midday. Cows and heifers followed very closely after beef steers, at first the trade being rather dull, but picking up :ind the most nf the receipts changing hands some ltlllti time before midday. The stockers and feeder situation wag not much changed today. The storm earlier In the week naturally reduced 4xuntry de mand somewhat, but still, with the outlook for beef cattlo somewhat more encouraging, there has been considerable buying. As supplies have been only moderate the mar ket has remained In a healthy- condition.

SHEFJP necelpt of sheep this morning were very liberal, but one or two trslns were late In arriving, so tint when the market opened the number on sale was by no meana excessive. The Arrlvsls con sisted very largely of lambs, with a fslr sprinkling of sheep. The quality wss about the same ns It has been during the last few days, that la. there was a considerable showing of pretty decent killers, with more or less trash sandwiched In. The life and snap eharscierlMIe of the sheep market at tlilf point was prettv generally wanting this morning. Buyers' advices lrom eastern mutton markets were most discouraging, both demand and prict s at the large consuming centers having ex perienced a sharp drop. At the same time buyers were recelvli g reports from their bouses st other market points predicting lower prices for the dsy. With news of this character In band It Is hartllv neces sary to add that buyers acre very back ward about taklbg hold and were In no hurry whatever to fill orders. The result was a slow and dragging market through out. Still buyers kept picking up the of ferings, at least the more desirable loads, for which they paid prices anywhere from almost steady to 10c lower. Thus lambs that brought 17.40 yesterday, sold today for 17.30. and yearling at IS 5 vesterrtay brought 16.76. with yesterday $b,60 weth ers at 18.40 today.

And where In such an action the court admits testimony to the effect that wnen the husband and father was sober he was kind, but when intoxicated he waa unkind and quarrelsome, and that during the time the husband was Incapacitated from earn ing a living the wife waa compelled to per form menial labor and to accept aid from the county.
