New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, March 1.—The movement of to-day's stock market was somewhat more cons{stent than (hat of yesterday in that prices were above yesterday's level through- out the day, but the character of the market was not ementially changed. Trading was near the minimum record for the last four years, and the movement of prices was 5o narow and slugrish as to be imperceptible. | There were minutes at a time when the ticker was silent and motionless. The fact | that prices moved upward had Do news to account for it. The news, in fact, offered various unfavafable features. The fact that these unfavorable news factors failed to de- press prices was the subtle reason for the ad- | vance.” That is to say, traders short of stocks | who had been awaiting a decline on bad news to cover their contracts, uneasy at the fall- ure to decline, covered their shorts and lifted prices. The uncertainty over the outcome of the Paris settlement scems to have been a large influenca in a negative way in our mar- ket. The progress of the settlement to-day and reports that an arrangement had been made to pateh up threatened difficulties in connection with it relieved the stock market from some of its depression and conduced to the rally. Sugar was the strongest stock. The retirns of clearings” for January, which appeared during the day, included Canadian | Pacific and Southern, all' showing declin‘s in net earnines of varying degree compared with last year's corresponding period. Rock Isl and Canadian Pacific showed some heavines early in the day, but stocks of other compa- raliroads, ir- | nies advanced with the rest of the market. Prices dropped the best fore the c:olnx. after a period of practical stagna- | tion Bonds were irregular. Total sales, 'par wvalue, ,000. Lnned States bonds were unchanged on NEW YORK STOCK LIST.
