Generally Better.

The Market Quiet and Firm and Prices
Generally Better.
NEW YORK, March 2.-The stock market
this morning was more quiet than on any day
for the past three weeks and only four
stocks showed any animation or movement
of importance. Railroad shares were gen.
orally shade higher at the opening
but further changes were for the smallest frac-
tions and without interest. Foreign houses
were without orders. and the trading, in the
main, local; but the manipulation Of the
industrials gave some character to the market,
and selling Of Northern Pacific preferred re-
sulting in the only material change among
railroad shares.
The confident buying OF the friends of the
management SO conspicuous yesterday was
tirely lacking. and its price went back from
AIS to 39s4. The features of the
opening among the industrials were
the advance of 1 per cent in cotton
oil and declines of per cent in cordage and
l. in sugar. The last named further retired
"a to 120. but was Immediately taken in hand.
and in few minutes was lifted to 12415, which
advance was mostly retained.
Cordage rallied smartly from SO to 59;1 and,
as in the case OF sugar, the improvement was
well maintained.
The rest of the market lacked feature ell
tirely. and at IL O'Clock was quiet and firm at
the Improvement. General electric in the late
dealings showed gain of per cent.

THEY CAN'T FIND THE AK,
The Callers on the Vice President Elect Show
Some Little Curiosity.

The Callers on the Vice President Elect Show
Some Little Curiosity.
Vice President-elect Stevenson spent the
greater part o. today at his rooms at the Ebbitt
He was not lonely, however. there was
almost constant succession Of callers. As a
rule the people who came to see him wanted
to renew their acquaintance with him and to
assure him that although he was now Vice
President of the United States that they were
not ashamed TO let the world know and Mr.
Stevenson know that they still looked upon
him as friend. NV and then caller in some
interval Of the conversation was seen to look
about the room somewhat anxiously and it was
thought that they we're trying to learn whether
he had brought his little ak with him
However, if that trusty blade is here it
is not kept i'll the reception parlor as
far as known, and in fact the general
tenor of the conversation in the parlors of the
Vice President-eect is not in that direction.
Among the callers this morning was the vener-
able Mr.. Oswald Ottendorfer of New York city,
This afternoon Mr.. Stevenson went to the
Senate. where he is getting used to passing the
watchmen who guard the entrances to the
places sacredy reserved for the members of the
Senate without having the appearance of a man
who has no business to go in, but is merely
checking his way. 1t requires practice to face
with unblanched countenance the average Sem
ate understrapper.

FEARS FOR THE NARONIC.
Several Vessels Reach New York, but None
Sighted the Missing Vessel.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The White Star line
freight steamer Naronic, which left Liverpool
Saturday, February IL, and which is ten days
overdue at this port, has not yet arrived and no
news of her has been received. The worst
fears are now entertained for the safety Of the
ship and those on board
Agent kersey fears that her machinery has
broken down and that she has drifted out Of
the regular track of the transatlantic steam
ers.
The Suevia arrived here today from Ham,
burg. She reports not having seen the missing
vessel.
The other steamer arrivals today were the
Neptune and the Kitty. They came from
southern fruit ports, but brought no news from
the Nsronic. The Neptune passed large
quantity Of cord wood yesterday in latitude 80
longitude "a 1t was apparently part of some
vessels deck load.
Among steamship men it is thought that
either both engines of the Naronic have
broken down or that she has run short Of
breaker coal and is using her spars for fuel.
