NEW YORK, April 6.-Interest in stocks
was very languid on the exchange today.
Fluctuations, in the main, were very narrow,
not offering a sufficient margin to invite oper
ations, even by the professional traders. The
absence of the heavy liquidation that he's
characterized some recent markets was
marked and the railway list held remarkably
firm. Leather preferred was quite a feature
in the dealings and showed decline of rs,
recovering about half Of the loss. The clos
ing down Of the companys tanneries, the
prevailing low prices of the product and fears
of a bad effect the earnings from the posi-
BILE duty on hides caused the decline There
more less weakness manifest in all
the specialties. The railway list, on the other
hand, showed remarkable frmness especially
the grangers. The fluctuations in this group
were confined to very narrow fraction, St.
Paul held steady at 721a through a succession
Of sales, mostly of 100-share lots, but with one
lot of 1000 shares, the aggregate reaching
2,400 shares before the stock receded Is. Bur-
lingtOn was almost equally steady on larger
transactions. This frmness of railways must
be largely attributed to confidence in the
stability of the passenger and freight rates
at present in force. The increase in earn
ings showed by some roads for the fourth
week in March in spite Of bad conditions was
also a Strengthening factor. The general mar
ket closed steady.
Railway and miscellaneous mortgages held
firm on moderate dealings. The aggregate
sales were s., 076, 900. Governments were mod
erately active but unchanged in values. The
sales were $15,500
The total sales of stocks today were 1874 OPP
including: Burlington, 10, 900; Sugar, Is, 800;
Chicago Gas, 1900; Delaware & Hudson,
5000; Omaha, 1900; Reading, $500; St. Paul.
$500; w. u, 5000; N. ]. Central 10, 400.

E. T. Evans, general Western agent.
J. E. Payne, general Eastern agent,
and D. A. Christie, local agent Of the
Anchor Steamship line from Buffalo to
the head of the lakes and touching all
principal points on the Great Lakes are
in the city and registered at the Ryan
hotel. Messrs, Payne and Evans are
in the city comforting with the traffic
officials of the lines running to the
head of the lakes relative to rates.
The Anchor line has seventeen
steamers in it's fleet, none of which
were in the Lake Superior trade last
year. 1t is believed the fleet will be
early this season as the opening rate
of 221a cents on wheat products to
the seaboard will attract considerable
trade. Mr. Christie. local agent at Du-
luth, said to reporter for the G l O e
last evening that he believed the ice
would go out within a few days.
1T has already broken up to a large
extent" said Mr. Christie, land many
of the ships in the bay have changed
their positions, going from their docks
to the elevators. 1 believe that the
harbor will be clear of Ice by the 25th.
Boats clearing from Chicago on the Goth
will have no trouble in getting into
port by the time they reach Duluth
Asked as to the prospect Of a rate
war, the officials of the company did
not care to say. They confirmed the
statement that a rate from the sea-
board to ST. Paul of rs cents would be
made in connection with the rail lines
from the head of the lakes. Most Of
the rail lines issued the tariffs yester-
day. The breaking of the freight
pools will naturally allow the
Chicago lines to compete independently
with the lake lines if they see fit,
and a piping summer of cut rates would
would not surprise anyone.
