New YORK, March 17.-At the stock ex-
change the market opened 1s@75 higher,
the latter for Delaware & Hudson. The
market was slow and dull at the outset with
little outside buying, but prices were put up
4015 by manipulation, although they did
not hold long. The buying fever has nearly
or quite subsidized and the selling disposition
is growing, and would grow much faster, but
for fear OF
MANIPULATION AND a SQUEEZE.
The particular weak spot in the list during ng
the forenoon was Union Pacific, which went
down to 4534. The inside condition of this
road is represented as growing worse con-
stantly. 1t is larger borrower of money
than ever and it is receiving no money from
its Western Offices. There were heavy sales
of it by the bears and others. Cammack was

CHICAGO, March 17.-Business was dull to-
day at the banks with very little inquiry or de-
mand for anything beyond regular and ordi-
nary wants, and the same was true OF trade
in the city. This cold 'snap'' has put back
everything pertaining to spring work or sales
of seasonable goods. The New York exchange
was still quoted at 25 cents discount,
with a good outside demand. Orders
for currency shipments were fair and
receipts very light. Sterling exchange
lower, S4.s319@4.5615. Bank clearings were

WEEKLY REVIEW.

Though wheat has declined very perceptibly.
and the stock market has been weak and more
than usually uncertain and unreliable. business
throughout the country has been gradually re-
yiving with the advancing season. and may now
be said to be in very healthy and almost active
condition. The large centers of trade in the
East report good healthy trade and favorable
