The leaders operated in great confidence, OWINg to yesterday's dem- cnstration of the eagerness of the outside worid to participate. The pools made up of professional traders therefore had little dim- in attracting stock in which ely u effective following in y chose to onerate by Lidding up tive poois were alse actively en- sking profits all day, skilitully & the moment while they were develop- goints of strength to sell mtocks in had alreads been uchieved. + on some. 58 aused mruch n«lll:mr in This pro rices as an incitement. | the movement of prices all day. In the last hour after prices had very generally touched the top limit at about 2 o'Clock the Drofee: sional traders turned to the bear side of the | market, owing to the heavy realizing selling | that showed all through the list and offered | prices down boldly, taking the market away | from the bulls and uncovering some stop-loss | orders where-speculative activity had been un- | duly extended on insufficient security. The result was a tumbling of prices that looked for a time like demoralization on the part of the bulls. The reaction from best prices in the most prominent of the strong stocks ran | up from 1 to 2% and quite a number of stocks | which had not been marked up during ti day fell below last night's level. There was | a momentary rally on covering by the room | shorts, but profit-taking was renewed and | many stocks closed at the low point of the | reaction. The steel stocks were & conspicuous | exception. They held firm at each successive | advance all day and in the closing flurry | mounted buoyantly in face of the active selling | elsewhere. The time fixed for the deposit of | these stocks in assent to the terms of the steel merger expires to-morrow and to-day's | buoyancy in the stocks gives rise to the sup- position that the plan will promptly be de- clared operative. This supposition was without | official confirmation. There was an_ excited speculation in the Urited States Steel stocks | on the curb. The common sold up 2% over last night and the preferred 3%. but react On the exchange the preferred steel stocks | were remarkably buoyant, all of them.rising | from 4 to 5%, the last named Tin Plate pre- ferred. 1In the railroad list Burlington con- tinued the center of attraction in_ spite of | emphatic denials from President J. J. Hill of | a purchase or a plan to purchase control. The | upward movement of ihe stock was interrupted by frequent reactions on profit-taking and after rising an extreme 5% it closed 2i lower at | a net advance of 3%. Other notable points of | strength were Rock Island, Loulsville and | Nashville, Missourl Pacific,’ the Atchisons, | Union and Northern FPacific, Baltimore and | Ohio, New York Central and the Southern railway stocks.

NEW YORK, March 10.—The Commerclal Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: American stocks monopolized all the attention in the stock markets here to-day. Otherwise business was quiet, though prices were very irregular. General tracing was checked at the | outset by the rumor that Von Waldersee's in- | tefvention in the dispute with the Russians at Tientsin had proved abortive. Then came a report which said that the whole matter had been amicably settled. This helped home busi- Tess, but the market cnded with a depressed tone caused by a cable dispatch saying that Botha had refused finally General Kitchener's terms. The American department was bu: with buovant prices throughout the whole se sion. There was very large professional deal- ing, but the public is nervous after the long rise to dabble at this level. New York bought heavily of Eries, which London sold readily. There is an absurd story current that the men | speculating with the miners' funds and that | J. P. Morgan finding them short on Erle issues | is now Equeezing them. Money is scarce. CLOSING.

Chicago Grain Market, CHICAGO, March l! —After holding steady most of the day the wheat market toward the end of to-day's session broke on liquidation and closed %c under yesterday.

The steadiness at Liverpool in the face of the decline here yes- terday, together with moderate Northwest re- ceipts,’ were factors tending to su price: and at the decline there was & fair demand, while offerings became light. May gradually worked up to 76lc during the forenoon and later rallied an additional quarter. Primary receipts were heavy and the cash demand very slack, and as a result longs selzed upon the bulge' as an opportunity to unioad more of their holdings. This liquidation was led by St. Louls.
