EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. March 12.-The professional
traders were somewhat astonished at the effect
they achieved in prices to-day. The bears, who
manipulated the market at the opening. had
buying orders at the prices to which they
desired to drive stocks The market showed
itself so weak when these prices were reached
that the buying orders were quickly with
drawn. This covering movement accounted for
the sharp rally in the first hour and there
were some recoveries at the close. Otherwise
there nothing to relieve the UNMARRIED de-
preston which prevailed through the whole
list Of stocks and bonds. The closely held
standard stocks suffered with the purely specu-
lative issues, and In some cases suffered
verely. Lake Shore is an example. 1t sold at
$780, & decline OF points. and closed with the
bidding with only $50. Pennsylvania dropped
full points. ST. Paul suffered very acutely
probably the uncovering of margins on
recent speculative buying, and was off at one
time AZ points Northwest dropped AZ and
Burlington points The local traction stocks
were equally weak The number OF prominent
stocks which net losses of between 2 and 3
points is very large. The total sales in the
