GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE stock
market to-day was duh and somewhat
Disappointing to the bulls, who had ex-
Dected a further response to the very
able news of last week. The dis
position, however, seems to be to await
further developments on the money
ouestion, though there seems to be no
lack of funds seeking borrowers, and
rates on call rule at from 8 to per cent.
The most important movements were
again of low-priced specialties. The
final changes are generally in an up
ward direction, though the only i'm
portant advance was made IA per cent. g,

more decided and firm tone than usual
Of late, and almost all important changes
for the day are in an upward direction.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.
