New York Stock-Market. NEW YORK, March 15.—The recent charac- ter of the stock market was not materially changed to-day. Speculative incursions into the fleld of the usually important stocks were few and desultory in character. Now and then a seemingly active buying movement would develop in some stocks that bave been occasionally a market leader in the past, but the activity would as suddenly subside and the dealings revert to some rarely actlve stock. The high priced specialties continued in favor to-day and a number of low priced industrials also were brought up to a considerably higher level of prices. The minor railroads were less conspicuous, aithough a few of these continued ! to show wide movements. There were declines on profit taking in these classes as well s the new strong polnts. The most consplcuous movement of this kind was in North American, which jumped about in an erratic manner in the course of a sensational advance of 14 points on unusually heavy dealings, The move- ment was without explanation beyond the long- time gossip of the availability of the company's comprehensive charter rights for the pur- poses of some great consolidation scheme. Other stocks not usually prominent which show striking_advances were American and .Contl- nental Tobacco preferred, General Electric, Colorado Fuel and American Cotton Oil. Among the more prominent stocks Amalgamated Cop- per continued active and found support after the recent heavy decline. Much of the buying was attributed to the demand from shorts to cover. Sugar, on the other hand, was reac- tionary on account of the dispute over the re- duction of the tarifft on Cuban sugars. An instance of the disposition to take profits on £o0d news was the selling of Pacific Mail on the passage of the ship subsidy bill by -the Senate. The New York public utllities also suffered from profit taking after some early advance. Lackawanna made a characteristic advance of 7 points and the gains in the other coalers ran between 1 and 2 points. The mod- erating of the weather in the West had some influence in causing higher prices, although the late rise in the wheat market somewhat modi- fied this influonce. - Aside from these cases the movements of the day were almost entirely due to the Individual causes. The money market was more quiet. The | slight_reaction in the tone of call money led o & firmer tone in sterling and the fall in the sterling rate at Paris also was an index of pressure toward the gold export point The bond market dull teady, r ‘um.?fl&mbm % o t.h:fll‘.':v.aul‘l‘m bonds were all unchanged on NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

The warmer weather in the winter wheat coun- try and still more predicted naturally killed all the cold weather influence. At tha opening there was plenty of wheat for sale, partly as a result of lower cables, Shorts, however, covereq freely and there were several fair re- actions. Then bullish news began to arrive. Bradstreet's report indicated a decrease of plies. This helped prices, as did thes recelpt of the worst crop damage complaints yet re- ported from Kansas and Oklahoma. May, which opened a shade lower to a shade higher at T414@T4%c, eased to T4%c and then reacted to_75lsc, closing ¥@3%c higher at The. Early sentiment in corn was very bullish. There were no important features and in_the main the market was poorly supported. May | closed a shade lower at 61%c. There was a little flurry in May oats early, selling orders uncovered stop-loss orders and May lost 1%c before the decline was checked. Gossip had it that the prominent lons holder had disposed of his stuff and had gone into July options. May closed weak, f%c down, at_#4%c. Provisions were very dull and fluctuated narrowly.
