Thursdays New York papers say of
Wednesdays Stock Market:
The Stock Exchange was firm to-day on
the Federal and State securities, and weaker
than yesterday on the Railway Share lit
On the latter, it is found that the realizations
of Monday and Tuesday by speculative hold
eTs, who had been awaiting a free market,
were quite considerable, especially on New
York Central, Toledo, &c, and the effect of
the delivery to the street Of this large
amount of cash Stock is to check, and in
some measure depress, fresh speculation for
the rise. A number of influential Brokers
are supposed to be more than willing to
have prices fall off by the weight of this
operation, with a view TO come in at lower
prices, while other sellers, distrusting, or
assuming to doubt the future course of po-
litical events, are taking short lines on a
scale of prices 1@lK per cent. lower than
the average sales on Monday.
The printed sales at the Second Board of
NGm Win NShbAd3 XIV AhluOS SOuNluli
Toledo and Galena, show about this differ
ence, the demand closing rather dull. AT
the same time, the outside orders at the Board
for United States, State and Railway Mort
gage securities, manifest increased activity,
and pretty large operations are making out
side the Exchange in Treasury Paper, and
the New Federal Stock. The demand is act
i've for the Five Per Cents of 1874, the Cou.
pom Stock selling at 87A per cent. this after
noon. A large business was done in Mis-.
sUuris and Tennessees, and in Railway Mort
cages the bids were firm, without eliciting
much Stock. The Endorsed Seven Per Cent.
Bonds of Missouri sold at &C per cent, while
the regular Six Per Cents sold at 66M@67
per cent. The former are new convertible,
at the risk and charges of sending the Bonds
t Missouri.
Late in the afternoon there was a steadier
merket for the Railway Shares, with q slight
improvement on the printed sales at the
Second Board-New York Central 1874 per
cent Illinois Central 81; Erie 32H; Read
ing 1871; Michigan Guaranteed 35M@36;
the old Stock l5B; Toledo 34K.
Thursdays Times observes in regard to
Wednesdays New York Monetary matters
There is not much news to be had, to-day,
in the markets for Money or Foreign Ex-
change. TIL Discount Brokers complain of
the absence of any thing like a good selec-
ton of First rate Paper, as now classified by
Lenders, and when such Bills appear on sale,
they are readily negotiated at 6@7 per cent.
One of the Oldest of our Discount firms ex.
pressed the opinion to-day that Money
would soon have to seek Federal and State
Securities, at advancing rates, in default of
employment in regular Trade Paper of I'M
doubled. Credit. This opinion is further
borne out by the renewed demand by private
inquiry, within a day or two, for Treasury
Paper, which has risen to 9@8N per cent.
per anDum, and for all classes of the recent
Loans of the Federal Government. AT the
Stock Exchange the investment orders for
the State Securities of Virginia, Tennessee,
NJ Missouri, &c, have also improved, while the
offerings from the Western Bankers have
been less marked than last week. Exchange
is steady at leSH@lOe per cent.
New YORK CATTLE MARKET-TRursday
March 14-At the Live Stock markets, the
supply of most animals has been light
live Hogs only being in excess of the de.
mand. This has been the case for three
weeks, and the surplus from previous over
supplies is used up and the yards closed out,
so that there is a fair prospect for next week,
though large supplies will not be needed
until April, or after the close of Lent. The
total receipts at the various city yards, for
the week ending yesterday, numbered !, 1904
Beef Cattle, ll9 Mich Cows, 422 Veal Calves,
6,367 Sheep, and 6, 7O6 live Hogs; total, 49,
9l8-which is considerably below the weekly
average of last year. At yesterdays gem
ersl market, BeeVes sold fully Nc. per pound,
estimated dressed weight better than at the
previous market. Sheep were 25037%c.
per head higher. Veals and Mich Cows
sod briskly at former rates. Live Hogs are
4 shade lower.
