Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW York, March 13.--The stock market
today displayed decreased activity as
whole and the dealings for the whole part
reflected adroit manipulation. The gen.
eral tone was easier and only three stocks
deserved special comment in regard to
activity. These we're American tobacco,
General Electric and St. Paul. The bulls
received n set back at the outset from the
unfavorable characters of London quota
tions for American stocks and moderate
sales were made for that account in this
market. The local traders put out lines of
shorts in a number of more prominent
shares. Interest at the opening centered
in general electric, in view of the agree
ment entered into between the General
Electric and Westinghouse companies re-
gardine the disposition of territory and other
essential points. Subsequently free SELL
ing, particularly Boston houses. depressed
the price. The saqging tendency in this
specially had depressing effect on the
general market and some substantial de-
clines occurred. Denver and Rio Grande
preferred and Northern Pacific preferred
lost 7s per cent. The selling of the last
uaTneU was InOSt IudTkou anu was liIllu-
enced by reports purporting to forecast the
plan of reorganization and including al
legged assessments of $40 on the preferred
stock and SlO on the common. The safe
arrival of the steamer Rio de Janeiro of
the aciflc Mail line influenced an advance
of 4 per cent in the stock in the early
dealings. Subsequently the improvement
was lost, but renewed purchases
caused another advance OF q
per cent at the close. Arocnd l 80
heavy purchasing orders were distributed,
which sent tobacco up 3 per cent from the
lowest. The general market steadied in
sympathy with tobacco and somo slight
gains resulted. The closing was dull and
steady at fractional net concessions. Busi-
ness in railway and miscellaneous bonds
was restricted to $S67 900. 8 This market
was sympathetcally affected by the share
speculation, but the losses scored were
light and mainly confined TO speculative
issues. Government bonds ruled firm and
slight gains resulted in purchases of S72,-
900.

Intense dullness has reigned in the general
stock market during the week. Public and
foreign participation have been virtually
non.existent and the trading has been en-
tirely in the hands of professional opera
tors of the smaller type. Uncertainty
about action of congress on various pub
lie questions, the lack of any decided re-
vival of activity in trade and the fact that
crop prospects for the coming season are
necessarily matter of doubt, all tend to
limit the speculative market movements.
At the same time the tone has been
strong rather than weak and the
sole features have been supplied
by eccentric demonstrations on the part OF
some of the industrial stocks. In all such
cases the movement Of prices has been up.
ward and the bear interest has been the
sufferer. As already indicated, London
has not yet been factor in the market.
In fact there 10 a complete lull in specula-
ton of any kind there, the glut OF idle
money tending to force investment into
securities which have obtained aDnormally
high prices. British console this week sold
at 100 1916. ex quarterly interest, being
the highest price on record. At the same
time there is some disposition in London to
pay more attention to the better class of
American securities. The attitude of con-
gress and fears connected with the APP
proach of our presidential canvass seem to
check business from that source, and the
fortnightly settlement on the London stock
exchange, completed this week, showed q
remarkably small account open in Ameri-
cans.

The whole trade is stepped in a;nation to

Gus phenomenon of advancing foreign wools
and declining domestic in the same market at

woods have no foreign outlet. Foreign secured

American mills is cutting down sales, there

Bradstrect,s Reviews

DTduStTect NeNtcWS
New YORK, March 13.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
The only conspicuously favorable feature
Of the general business situation is the re-
port of February gross railway earnings
throughout the country. Receipts of 1876
companies last month were larger, with a
single exception, than in any preceding
month for more than three years, the
February total for 1896 being $34, ,4S4.-
600, a gain over that total last year of
nearly IA per cent. These results are due
large grain traffic and the inclusion of one
more business day. The general trade
shows no marked change. Distribution
of merchandise is most active for
dry goods, hardware, shoes and millinery.
paints, oils and heavy chemicals.
but has been unsatisfactory. Jobbers re-
port spring trade of a waiting character,
due to belated snowstorms and unusually
cold weather. Collections, with few excep-
tioDs. are no better, and in many instances
less satisfactory, which tends to retard the
movement Of merchandise.
Total exports of wheat-flour included as
wheat-from both coasts of the United
States during the six business days ending
M1rch IL amount to 2,401 900 bushels.
against 2,4O9 900 bushels last week, and
2,791 900 bushels in the corresponding
week last year. Total exports of Indian
corn in the same week amount to 1,7OS,-
900 bushels, little more than 100000
bushels more than in the previous week.
and as compared with $4,000 bushels in
the like week last year.
Business failures in the United States
this week fully maintain the ratio of COM
mercal embarrassments reported of late,
with total of 3S2 for six business days
ending March 18th, compared with 27O in
the preceding week. and 262 in the corre-
spending week one year ago.

CHICAGO, March 13.-Wheat ruled dull,
depressed and lower, and sold at one slime
fully &c below the close yesterday. There
was sharp break on the curb yesterday
on general liquidation. which continued
after the djournment of the regular board
and the opening was at nearly Ac below
the close yesterday. But private Liver
pool cable said that the market there wac
doing much better on advices that offers
ings Of Argentine wheat were decreasing
and good buying sprang up which soon
caused a rally of 5sc from the low point.
Some of the shorts covered and there was
some investment demand with offerings
moderate, as the liquidation had evidently
been very thorough. But the pub
lie cables we're not as satisfactory
TO the bulls as the private one mentioned
above led them to expect and outside
markets we're generally heavy. trade light
and narrow and the flour market reported
in state OF Decentralization. There was q
resumption of selling followed by decline
of nearly Ac. Business in corn was ex.
ceedingly dull and prices showed but little
change until the final sharp break in
wheat. Large hog receipts were again res
sponsible for weak opening in provisions.
Ihe market remained rather soft all day in
sympathy with grain markets but trading
was of too limited character to admit OF
material change in prices.
