NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 6--Prices dropped
steadily to-day on somewhat restricted deal
ings each rally affording the bears another
level from which TO attack prices. With some
exceptions leading shares opened below Sat
uraay's close. London sold some 1900 shares
on balance and arbitrage houses made pur-
chases in London before our opening and sold
here. Speculation was purely professional and
much was made of the frmness of money,
which at one time touched 81 per cent for call
loans at which price ii closed. The best au-
thorities'' were quoted as turning the money
furry as only a fash in the pan. The i'm
provement in the demand for money in the
dry goods and other lines Of trade, together
with the preparations to finance the Central
Pacific settlement with the Government, the
Chicago and Alton deal and some industrial
combinations, were responsible for the i'm
proved tone. It was argued that a sustained
advance from current rates would be fol-
lowed by gold imports, but II pointed out
that many interior banks have supplies Of
money above their previous records. or the
