Unwettled, Fluctuating Market ens Somewhat Clowe., NEW YORK March 6.—The stock market tinued unsettied today and traversed s range of prices several times, but the final result showed that the urgent pressure of iquidation had spent luself and that the bear party telt themseives at the limit of satety on the thort side. Probably the demand from this element to cover their short contracts was the prineipal factor in tne iate strong rally in prices. There w however, some indication of Investment d mand on the deciine. Support was evident at the opening and hed an important effect In reieving t anxiety caused by yesterday's many rumors of financlal embarrassment, which were considerebly cledr:d this morning, with a reassuring effect upon the sentiment. The m situntion, however, showed no sensi- ble relaxation, the call fcan rate running UD 10 § per cent early in the day. This was the occasion of the first After a perlod of dullness at about the level of last night's prices, a drive was made at the market, which carried many prominent stocks a point or more brlow iast_night's level. The leaders had been much_above on the opening rise. ‘The arket seemed to have been sold to a siandstill on this drive and made an ir- regular recovery until, near the close, th leaders rose aguln frum 1 to 3 points over last night. There were slight recessions betore (he close, which was irregular. Much attenticn was pald in the specul tive circles to the gossip concerning a possible legal contest againet the Unfon Pacilic's right to \ote its ho.dings of Sout ern Pacific stock at the latter compar annual meeting. The existence of a long stanaing pool in Southern Pacific Is com- monly accepted in Wall street, Its opera- tions and commitments being based upon the agsumption of an early refunding opera- tion for Southern Pacinc, accompanied by the inaugurati>n of dividénds on the stock. ‘the policy of the Unfon Pacific_control in deterring dividends on Southern Paclfic and making heavy outlays out of earnings had come in for bitter criticisms from the pool Interests. These are apparently identified with the movement to contest Unlon Pa- cifics control. It Is sald the leader of the pool has asfumed the leadership of an aggressive bear movement In the general market during the opsration of the week. The vigorous ral! accompanied by rumors that a truce had been patched up between the contending interests in this dispute The quieter cotton market had ar_in- fluence in the recovery in stocks. 'The estimates of the bank statement based on the known movements of currency also seemed to have a calming effect.

But last week's bank statement ynderstated ‘the cash decrease by nearly $4,000,000, o tha* the average this weel may have to make up the discrepancy. The large liquidation in the stock market points to extensive loan contraction. The Iate recovery in stocks, however, pointed to some recovered confidence in the money situation. Geérman banking houses in the city were large lenders today and sterling Ward | exchange was weak under good offerings of loan bills. Wheat exports for the week increased 834,000 bu. and corn exports increased 1,448,000 bu. Dry goods imports fell $1,204,613 below those of last week ¢ United States bonds sold as 18w as §7%, when issued, or within a fraction of parity the preferred stock.

As recelpts were limited thé pens were soon cleared. The cow market seemed to be rather un- even. Some salesmen were well satisfied with the market, and were quoting It steady, while others thought they did not do quite well as yesterday. it will be remembered, however, that yesterday's market was also a little uneven. ‘aking Bulls, veal calves and without material change, the demand ap- parently being fully equal to the &upply. ‘Btookers and feeders were scarce this morning, and as speculators carried over Very few from yesterday, anything at a desirable sold at just about steady prices Common kinds, though, were slow sale_ not much demand from the country was expected for the remainder of this week.

The early market for today's receipts showed some decreasa in the figures of last year, but almost im- mediately following the call there was a renewal of the liquidation and short selling noted yesterday morning and prices were rapidly forced down, May selling as low as L or 22 points below the best of the morning, 52 points below the best price of the week and 17 points below last night's finals. The options at this time showed declines of from 10624 points as compared with the best of the morning; at this level the clique again came to the support of the market and a sharp rally ensued which carried prices back a few points, but the steadler tone was followed just before the close by another wave of selling, which closed the market weak, net 9¢ lower, at which level prices were below the lowest of yester nearby options and about 43@65 points be- low the best level, with March, the spot month, showing the most pronounced weakness, reflecting apparently the desire of the longs to avold immadiate deliveries The selling toward the close was largely on the heavier in-sight for the week, which according to the figures of the New York Cotton exchange show 192,098 bales, as com- pared with 134681 last year, ST.
