New York, March 2--The stock market
displayed weakness, particularly In
Changers, Pacific and specialtles, practic-
ally all day, with but incidental rallies
There was an appearance of support In
certain stocks In the final dealings, which
caused fairly steady close, although the
Changers were still under pressure.
There was no news TO account for the
decrease except for a firmer tone to
money, call rates touching 315. attributable
to a call issued preliminary TO the settle

everything, especially heavy features were
Metropolitan, Jersey Central, Pacific Mail.

directors preliminary to the absorption of
the Union Tobacco Company.
The bond market to-day bore up re-
markably we'll considering the pressure
against stocks. Some issues made an ag-
gressve show of strength, particularly
Louisville Evansville and ST. Louis IS,
which rose points. Atchison adjust
ments had good backing. and the st. Louis
Southwestern issues were better supported
than for some days. Operations elsewhere
were somewhat irregular but there were
no conspicuous losses outside of Southern
Railway IS and Standard Rope income.
