VAGUE RUMORS OF DEALS
LOSE THEIR LATE POWER TO BULL
THE STOCK MARKET.

The Gradual but Astonishing Rise in Great
Northern Excites Commercially Safe
Investment-An Attack on Reading
Railroad Bonds Not So Lively.
NEW YORK, March ls.-The transactions in
the stock market proved conclusively that
interest in the speculation has been re-
duced to minimum, and while there were
rumors in plenty of deals and combinations,
none Of them were of sufficient interest to
rouse the market out of its rut.of dullness.
There were no real features in the market at
any time Notwithstanding the early de-
cline and recovery in Sugar, said to be the
result of buying orders emanating from
Philadelphia, and the sudden drop of 4per
cent in Great Northern preferred, from l4s
to 1873.
The slow and almost unnoticed advance of
Great Northern from below par to A2, which
has been accomplished without activity in
the stock at any time at last created rulnors
which, as IDEALS" are now the fashionable
thing, took that form. There is, however,
nothing more in the stock than a gradual
marking up of its price, as transaction In
suoh security is safe. The only late trad
ing was marked by the awakening of the
traders and an attack on Reading, which de-
pressed that stock about per cent. carrying
the rest OF the list as rule, slightly below
the opening prices, while Wheeling and
Lake Erie wac specially weak, falling lA be-
fore the decline was checked.
proach to activity seen during the day, but
It soon died away, and though there was no
recovery in prices the market closed dull
and heavy at about the lowest prices reached.
The final changes are, in almost all cases,
small fractional losses, but Wheeling and
Lake Erie is down lss Reading, u, and
Northwestern, which was one of the weak
stocks in the afternoon, per cent.
Railroad bonds we're not so lively to-day,
and while the transactions in the leading
active issues were largely curtailed the num-
ber of issues traded in was much smaller
than usual. The transactions reached only
$1,170 900, of which Richmond and West Point
5s contributed 244,0 900. There were no i'm
the list, and the bond list failed to respond
to the late raid on stocks, so that prices are
practically unchanged for the day.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester-
day. Corrected daily for THE DISPATCH by WHIT

Shipments at Low Prices Going on at
Very Good Pace.
CINCINNATI, March ls.-[SpeciaL 1.-The only
improvement in the conditions of the mar
ket is increased activity. A large business
has been done during the last week, a good
deal of it for early deliveries, but consider
able portion also for longtime deliveries.
Prices have also shown no Improvement,
but are weak all along the line; There is
disposition among leading producers, potn
north and south, to let them go to the bot
tom as quickly as possible, and yet attempts
to buy large blocks of iron at shade below
current minimum prices have been fallures.
Undoubtedly greater concessions could be
secured by taking large amounts for imme-
diate delivery and prompt cash, but there
are few purchasers so situated as to avail
themselves of this opportunity. The talk
on all hands is OF dullness, discouragement
and demoraIiza tion in prices. At the same
time, it is remarkao ole that shipments are
going forward at II pid pace and few foun-
dries have any stock ahead. Unless many
signs are deceiving consumption is running
Mt Il higher rate than is generally supposed.
Foundries and rolling mills that are COM
planning of absence of inquiries are for the
most part full OF work for months TO come.
\ careful review OF the situation South
shows no important change there. Changes
have been made that have reduced cost
nearly rs rapidly as prices. The consolida-
tion OF Southern companies, spoken of last
week, has been effected as far as the two
largest are concerned, namely, Tennessee
Coal and Iron Railroad Company and the
Debardleben Coal and Iron Company. The
producing capacity of this company will be
a little less than half of the active furnaces
in Alabama and Tennessee. No important
effect upon the situation Is anticipated by
reason of this consolidation. In charcoal
irons there has been considerable move
ment. Southern standard car wheel iron
and Lake Superior charcoal have been
bought by car works in liberal quantities.
Prices, however, show no improvement.
