YORK STOCK ‘MARKET: NE - NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—To-day's_stock mar- ket was rtrong, but ‘the activity:was largely centered in the leading stocks, such as Sugar, the Grangers, Northern Pacific preferred, and a few others. The most notable strength was | also shown by these stocks. -The total sales.| showed a considerable falling off from the re- cent average and the market lacked breadth, | business being. poorly distributed: London was | 2 seller of stocks: to-day. for the first time in | 4 considerable period. The local market was | as little affected by this Tiovement as it was by persistent buving during the re- cent declines, if a- temporary heaviness at the opening be excepted. The-fall in international stocks early ‘dealings’ was sharp, but | was for only a brief timie. Added to the day’s | net gains the early weakness makes the range of st affected very considerable. Appre- hension over the Cuban question seemed 1o be | in abeyance and tie conrse of the market was continued upward after the opening with the exception of a. siight reaction after noon and scme yielding from the. highest near the close on profit-taking. The fioon reaction was attributed to disappointment because the Su- preme Court refrained from handing down its decision in_the Nebraska maximum freight rate case. The sentiments of Landon and New York cn the Cuban question seemed to be com- pletely reve for the recent disposition in onden to. look confidently for a peaceful s Jution gave way to depression to-day, the de- clines In Spanish 4s, both in London and Paris being. particularly “significant. In Londor. was 74 and In Paris 3 3-32. But it is none the less highly significant that the simultaneous decline in stock prices in London and the rise .in New York were accompanied by a stiffening of money rates in London and a notably easier one in New York. Call loans were made as low as 132 per cent here to-day, presumably in re- sponse to the gold shipments, $1,000,000 addi- tional being announced. There is talk that efforts will be made to have the remaining Government deposits_of the Union Pacific money_left in New York banks for the pres- ent. The amount of these deposits stili re- maining in_the New York banks is estimated at §15,000,000. The day's net gains in active stocks range up to 2 per cent and in a few cases over that, Sugar gaining 4 points. The bond market was not active to-day and ehowed early depression, but recovered in sym- pathy with the strength in stocks. Totat sales, §2 400,000. U.

Opening prices in July were about 1c higher than Saturday’s closing, ranging from 8% to $9%¢, while May was %@%c higher at §1 03@1 03%. A temporarydip followed. There was a good deal of realii.g by people who were satisfied with. the profits shown in the opening advance, and_this selling sent the price of July to $9c and May to $1 02%@1 02%. Then. the real strength of the market was shown. -As soon as the first pressure of sell- ing was removed prices began (o advance at once, shorts, big_and little, coming into the market to cover their iines, and for two hours prices moved upward slowly but steadily. At the end of that time May had -advanced to | $104% and July to S0%c. This strenkth was | Que mostly to news from Liverpool. That inarket was exceptionally strong, showing %@ 5d advance at 1:3 p. m., later cables record- ing even better prices. After advancing to $1 053 for May and e for July the demand was satisfled. During the last half hour or so profit taking was indulged in sufficlent volume to send prices down to $1 4% for May and $9%@89%c for July by closing time. TU'p to noon the market for corn was very strong and good advances were recorded. May closed 3%c higher. Oats were strong. May closed %c higher.

The following forecast of wind and weather in the North Pacific Ocean for March has just been received from the Hydrographic Office in Washington: The sub char: of isobars and isotherms for March, which appear on the Pilot Chart, shows an almost permanent high, with its center about midway between the Hawailan Islands and the coast of California, but a little further ne effect of this slizat shifting of the high will be found in the limits of the trade winds being somewhat farther south than during the pre- vious month. The general movement of the wind will be found around this high with the tended 20 feet through fair-grade ore: total | sun, and on the south side the trade winds will length, 894 feet.

Near the coast within the northeast trade wind limits instead of northeasterly winds northerly and northwesterly winds may be expected. Just south of the Aleutian Islands is an al- most permanent low of considerable depth as shown on the sub chart of isobars and iso- therms for this month. Between the low and the high will be found a general movement of the atmosphere from Asia to America. as evi- denced by the strong westerly and southwest- erly winds, and north of the thirty-fifth paral- lel frequent gales often accompanied by heavy hail and snow squalls north of the fortieth par- allel may be expected. During March frequent gales may be expected in that part of the ocean ir the vicinity of the Juan de Fuca straits and east coast of Japan, and frequent squalls may be expected in the vicinity of the Hawalian Islands. Occasfonal spiral cireulations, viz., clonic (against the sun), with low barometer and the anticyclonic (wifh the sun), with high barometer. will be found moving in a general easterly direction across the ocean. Generally in front of the cyclonic area, or the low, the weather is damp, with thermometer rising and barometer falling. while in front of the anti- cyclonic circulation, or the high, it is dry, the cy- | @4 85; Western steers, $3 @4 40; Texans, nds, 20@21c. { advanced 14 feet, passin through pt)rphyry, 5 S: Di $3@3 60; cows and_ heifers, $3@3 90; stockers and | Creamery—Fancy creameries, 22@23c; seconds, | o B%u & g OTPRYTY | 100 Benton 18( 100 Mexican 3 | Sanws RosaiSan Diego.- feeders, buils and stags, $2 40@3 70 ‘mzfl-m S g | showing narrow lines of quartz assaying 76¢ | 200 Bullion . 08|20 Overman O ————————————————————— HOG 00.
