Depression in the Stock Market Was In
 creased Yesterday.

Depression in the Stock Market Was In-
 creased Yesterday.
 New York, March 29.-The depression in the markets for securities on the closing days of last week, consequent upon the supreme court decision in the trans Missouri Freight association case, was increased to-day by news from the west about rate cutting and also by advice from London and the continent of a more warlike feeling on the east ern question.
 The bears had the upper hand and pushed their advantage with vigor, be- ing encouraged by the receipt of nu- merous selling orders by commission houses from Philadelphia, Boston, Chi cago and other cities. The decline in prices ranged from F to 3A per cent, and as the downward movement made progress many stop orders were exc cuted. Missouri Pacific was singled out for special attack on the reports current that the company had taken the initiative in cutting by making a reduction from the regular schedule charges on eggs.
 This story afterwards met with en- phatic denial by President George Gould, who also pronounced. the ru- mors about a receivership for the con1- pany as being without the slightest foundation in fact. Before the receipt of MT. Gould's denial, however, Mis- souri Pacific had dropped 3H, to 141z.
 Other marked declines in the early trading were 25s in Rock Island, 1% in Burlington and Quincy, 21s In North west, 13s in St. Paul, 11a in Jersey Gen. tral, IA in Sugar, 31a in Atchison pre- ferred, 17s in Tobacco 11s in Omaha, and 1A in New York Central. During the afternoon, in addition to the denials concerning Missouri Pa cific, came the February statement of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, which showed a large increase in sur plus as compared with last year, and the announcement of an advance of 1-16 @Ac in certain grades of refined sugar.
 The advances that followed were equal to 1a4 in Jersey Central and 4
 
 Near the close however, the grangers developed renewed weakness. but the remainder of the list held firm and the improvement noted was well maintain ed The grangers closed with only fractional recoyeries and in the case of Rock Island the final sales were at the lowest of the day.
 Net changes show declines of A@25s per cent, Rock Island leading. Lacka- wanna gained %, Manhattan F and Jersey Central 1s per cent. The bond market was active and weak to-day. The transactions aggre- gated S1. .6O2. 900.
