A NEW DEAL.
The Bulls Capture Wall Street and De-

Gains Partly Lost-RaiIroad

Bonds Dull and Lower.
NEW YORK March 23-The stock market to.
day was an extremely limited affair, and out
side of the movements in three or four stocks
the dealings were entirely devoid of interest.
The trading, as usual of late, was confined for
the most part to the scalping operations of the
traders and as the dullness invited turn upon
the short side prices were sagged off slowly,
with insignificant fluctuations in all except
Chicago Gas, Burlington, Chesapeake and Ohio
first and Pullman, the range of prices in no
other stock reaching as much as q per cent.
Chicago had some selling orders in the market
and London bought few of its specialtes, but
the operations of the traders kept the market
in feverlsh state throughout. The general
expectation of an unfavorable bank statement
aided in depreciating prices, and the announce
ment of Il loss in reserve of over a million and
a quarter proved to have been fully discounted.
First prices were fairly steady as compared
with those of last evening, and some strength
was shown for short time in the early trading,
when everything but Burlington was carried up
above the opening figures. The decline soon
began, however; and Chicago Gas and Burling-
ton took the lead, each losing point. Pull
man was the only strong feature of the list.
There was better tone toward the end of the
session, but the market closed dull and heavy
generally at slight fractional losses. Closing
prices are irregular but generally lower, and
while Pullman rose ~ Chesapeake and Ohio
first preferred lost n and Chicago Gas and
Burlington IL per cent each.
The dealings in railroad bonds were on
parallel with those in shares, being small and
devoid of feature for most of the issues dealt
in. The sales reached only S459, 900. The issues
of the Tennessee Coal ard Iron Company were
the weak spot IN the list, but although the gen
eral tone Of the market was firm, the majority
of the important changes are in the direction
of lower prices The losses include Tennessee
Coal. Tennessee division IS 2 at 96 The sales
for the week were s7,40300G, against S6,5Oz, 900
for last week.

will be in service. Both of these vessels have a
length of 463 feet width of Sc feet, depth of
3S feet, are of 10000 tons displacement and H.
500 horse power. 1t is claimed for them that
they are practically unsinkable, their great
feature being longitudinal bulkhead, run
ming from stem to stern, which divides the
ship, each side being provided with separate
set of machinery, boilers, shafts and screws.
An accident to one side of the ship, therefore,
speed of these steamers is guaranteed to ex-
ceed 10 knots, or 2lH miles, per hour The
staterooms are all of large size. The best
cooks have been engaged. The conveniences
offered in the second cabin are unsurpassed.

Westinghouse Electric Crosses the Sixty
Line-Gassers Strong and Higher.
The feature of the stock market yesterday
was further advance in Westinghouse Elec-
trio 1t closed rather weak on Friday, and at a
slight recession. from the highest price of the
day, mainly for the reason that the price had
passed the limit prescribed by the orders for
the stock, but yesterday the brokers seemed to
have practically unlimited power, and they
sailed in with such vigor as to boom the stock
TO an altitude that confounded all previous
calculations. The first sale was made at 5915.
This set the ball rolling, and the quotation COR
tinued to climb slyward until 6O1l was reached
"a gain of dollar a share. Over 700 shares
changed hands, the most going East where
electric plants are located. After call rs was
freely talked of. All the gassers were strong
and not pressed for sale. CHARTERS was wanted

FUN In OIL.
IrrepressihIe Brokers Make the Most of a
Dull Duy,

Ouil Duys
The oil market was rather tame yesterday,
business lacking animation, and prices moving
within very narrow limits. This gave the boys
opportunity to indulge their fun-loving pro-
clivities, and they wound up the session with a
sort of song and dance that was an agreeable
diversion from the monotony of the regular
proceedings. The market opened at 9l1zc hied
around that figure for some time, and then
gradually sold up to 9lszc. It then slumped
and closed at 9l$sc. Oil was loaned at Is cents
to fat, showing no particular scarcity. Puts
and calls traded on narrow margins, from 15c
to &c. The bearish character of the New York
bank statement had q more or less depressing
effect upon the market. Fifteen minutes after
the close 25 cents was bid to have oil carried.
While the situation at home and abroad is! un-
depiably bullish. the action of the power be-
hind the throne is too uncertain to justify the
prediction of an advance, and the result proba-
bly, will be that prices will hang around the
present level for some time to come. A mate
rial slump under existing circumstances seems
to be the outcome of the question.
