McADIT, Forecest Official. EASTERN MARKETS. * New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, March 15.—There was very little activity shown in trade in stocks to-day owing to the complicated situation of the mar- ket. During the morning there was a latent | dread that the bank statement wolld reveal the narrow margin of the surplus entirely wiped out. There was no urgent pressure to seil, but prices sagged, except for & Tew special #locks. After the publication of the state. ment there was & recovery in prices, but the demand was listless and unimportant and the merket closed dull and only barely steady at some concessions from the rally. There has been no evidence in the stock market ui- ‘extent of -zi§§; fe undoubtedly due to ‘obligations have It 1s known that od to and it [ §’§ i | tained at a point to yield it a profit. | tht | Balt & Ohio pfa | Cht & Eastern In.. |Chi & Gt W B pra. | Chi & Northwest |Chi R 1 & Pac. | €hi Term & Tren. San Francisco, which are approximately | 1if the amount of the bond redemptions. “he clectrical companies, the local gas companies, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific were notably strong in the day's market, while some gecent favorites were, under pressure of realizing sales The character of the market is much the same this week as for some time past. The £reft mass of securities comprised in the great railway systems of the country have laid inert in contrast with their conspicuous leadership of the market in times of genuine speculative activity. The important industrials have not beén S0 motably mneglected. These mecurities are more influenced by causes individual to them and to the trades with which they are concerned and less by general conditions of a financial or industrial character than are the Stocks of representativc railroads. ' They are likely, therefore, to be resorted to for a spec- ulative medium'in times of dullness and apathy by the speculative public. But the feature of the week's market, as for some time past, has been the spasmodic movements and spurts of activity in many obscure stocks Which are seldom traded in on the Stock Ex- Change. Most of these movements have only Yague or conflicting explanatfons and the sud- den activity is likely to be followed by as sudden a neglect and with sudden and wide relapses in prices. These phenomena are the clear evidences of the artifictal and manipula- tive character of the movements. Speculative Pools are formed and an accumulation made of the stock picked for the movement. This buying in jtself raises the price. A rising price is the sure attraction for others to buy, accord- ing to the law of human tendencies. The sccu- mulation by the pool has reduced the floating Supply of the stock market and thus faciiitated the bidding of prices agalnst the newly de- Veloped outside demand. The pool is then thrown upon its best resources of skill and manipulation to feed this new demand with sufficient moderation and Keep the price sus- After that the stock may fail back into a new period Of oblivion. This has been the histcry of many ©f the recent movements in the stock inarket. The seasonable dullness in the general specu- lation is due to obvious causes and the general acquiescence in it is illustrated by the large number of absentees from Wall street among the figures that are infiuential in affairs there. This is so marked as to make it difficult to se- cure quorums for directors’ meetings, more than one of which has therefore been passed. The pending litigation agafnst the Northern Becurities Company 15 to be constantly borne | in mind In understanding the present stock market. The admonitory attitude of the In- terstate Commerce Commission toward the raliroads as @ result of recent investigations by the commission and admissions by the of- ficers of raliroads have been disturbing in- fimence. The dissolution of several organiza- tions has led to some disturbance and nominal changes in frelght rates. 'This is an untafl- Ing ource of uneasiness to holders of rafiroad securities, in spite of the great progress of the recent past toward community of Interest among raliroad properties. ments of doubt among the speculators also have been in force. The money market situation is the most important of these elements. The usual spring Joan expansion has fully ept pace with the yeflux of reserves to New York after the winter holidays, so that the question of readfustment of loans to ‘meet the inroads upon the cash reserves of the banks is of full force. This readjustrent has been going on eek and has carried the rates for money to & higher level, but the market has thus far escaped any notable disturbafice in spits of the heavy cash withdrawals and the very narrow proportions of the surplus resefves. The equanimity of the market is helped by the #mall outstanding commitments on the stock market with money borrowed on call, But undoubtedly the prineipal ground for the confidence in the money outigok les in the fact that the largest borrowers are the great railroad and banking interests whose. great syndicate holdings in securities give them a vital interest in maintaining the tranquillity of the money market conditions, A feature of the week has been the interruption of the ‘out- €0 of gold by export. This was due to bor- Towirlg money in forelgn markets through the medium of the exchange market. The éx. change bills offered in the market represent either extension of loans coming due to foreign borrowers or new borrowings abroad, as the supply of commercial bills against merchandise exports had been imsignificant. The rise in money rates here has relaxed the foreign pres. sure for repayment of loens and has invited the extension of gredits. This process leaves requirements in the foreign exchang to be met in the future. 8 P e The volume of dealings in bonds has some- what decreased. but prices hav, maintained for the mofipl part. ega i United States new 4s coupon declined 1% the registered % and the old 4s and “cent since lnst week, L b NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

The opening was strong on predictions of a cold wave des¢ending on the Western and Southwestern wheat States and on the cable list, which was very steady com- pared to yesterday's local decdine. Much of the firmness was due to the fact that yester- day's heavy Nquidation and stop-loss settle- ments had left the market bare of any pres- sure. The coarse grains felt the weather situ- ation also and helped buoy wheat. Kansas was still sending in crop damage reports and shorts who had a profit in sight covered.’ As not much, wheat was offered prices advanced. May opened %@lc higher at 75%@75%c and | reacted to 75%@75%c. On the higher prices considerable long stuff was thrown overboard.

Thix amount is about equal to that which was esti- mated from the traceable movement of money during the week resulting from the Treasury tions, transfers to San Francisco, export gold March 8 and other Items.of loss, less the average of the extraordinary bond pay- ments on Friday and the gain to the banks from new gold. The statement was made upon rising averages for cash, ¢he payments for un- matured bonds on Friday and Saturday having amounted to $4,040,374. The loans were re. duced by $14,372,000. This was partly due to calls in some of the banks whose reserves were low and also to the quite general absence of offerings of loans on the Btock Exchange by the downtown institutions. Though the trust companies met the greafer part of the demand for loansdlluring the week, their opera- tions were not reflected in the statement. * The payment on Saturday by the Nationai City of about, $21,5600,000 for gdividends on Standard O!l and Consolidated will this week release funds which were accumulated for the purpose of dividends and tend to relieve in some degree the tension in monetary condi- tions. The deposits decreased $21,296,700, which amount 1s but $750,000 more than the total of the loss of loans and of cash. Here- tofore the statement was harmonious. The re- duction of $5,324,175 in reserve requirements In great part offset the loss of cash, so.that “the eurplus reserve decreased only $845,525 to the corre- 3,112,900, against §10,002,600 at lwve%&t:‘dluctlonl‘f:'m s o m.-ml dior us was than was expected, and also 2 4 at the cash was made upon rising averages, ‘above tends to relleve -pnrehen‘-lon"ut monan::g: sion during this week. l New York Grain and Produce.
