The stock market yesterday fuctuated
largely in accordance with the various
ideas as 10 the bank statement, before it
was issued, and the various constructions
placed on the showing after the statement
appeared. Or in other words, this Satur-
day was in great measure what all recent
Saturdays have been, bank statement
day. 1t will probably be considered by the
general public, and the leaders as well,
that the day was a most satisfactory one,
exhibiting much more strength than was
expected, and promising better things Tor
tomorrow and the remainder of the week.
As had been predicted, the fear of a bad
statement was discounted heavily, and
prices during the first hour and a half
went off point or more all over the list.
When the statement appeared it was POOR,
but not as bad as had been expected, and
IN a most unexpected way a buying move
ment began, which sent prices TO the high
est point of the day at the close. This
movement is interpreted to mean that as
the end of March nears the confidence of
the public is returning, especially as it is
realized that this statement may be the
last one of the season to show unpleasant
features. With the coming of spring the
condition of the banks always improves
and this year 1t win be especially good,
according 10 all predictions. II may be
that genuine and well sustained advance
may not be begun this week. but there con-
tirues good buying at the present low level
In a confident belief that a permanent ad-
vance cannot be far on. Flower is a good
buyer OF his specialties, and it is sa d that
Mr.. Keene also is buying heavily in some
stocks The general public follows the
lead of Mr.. Flower more readily than the
representations Of the pessimists.
As TO the immediate market IT is prob

series of reasoned acts. All weaker crea-
lures pay intense attention to the appear
ance of a natural enemy. Their first i'm
pulse is to watch 1t most intently. Deer,
hares, and birds all do this. Coneurrently
with this watching impulse is that of
standing absolutely still. In some cases
this develops into crouching. or sitting
motionless, SO that the creature may,
while never taking its eye off its enemy,
be at the same time invisible. Paralysis
of faculties often SO far accompanies this
attitude that the creature in its intense
apprehension of one danger, becomes OBJ
liyious of another. mountain hare, for
instance, watching an eagle, has allowed
itself to be picked up by the hand
The extra voltage of fear engendered
by the horror of the serpent would be suf-
ficient when exercised on the nerves OF
highly sensitive creatures like the smaller
BIRDS so to strain the first series of reason
able acts of watching, immobility and
crouching that the final logical act. that of
flight when discovered, is impossible, the
will power having broken down The con-
verse of this feeling in the hunted may
sometimes be seen in the hunter. Very
we'll bred pointers have SO elaborated the
point which was originally the pause TO
determine exactly where the bird or hare
was sitting, that they cannot be induced to
break IL and move on 10 nusn the game
1t is not difficult to guess why some dan
gerous animals induce this paralyzing fear
in their prey. while others do not. 1t va
ries largely in proportion to the deadly
nature of the creature, and its weapons or
mode of pursuit. The cat is more for
midable animal than the stoat. But rab-
bit or hare shows no more than ordinary
fear of the cat. The stoat on the con-
trary, often ''faseinates." or rather para
| lyzes, the mental faculties of the rabbit
or even of the courageous rat. 1t does moi
always happen, but instances are so COM
mon that we need not quote them. A rab-
| bit hunted by a stoat will sit down and
| squeak till the stoat leisurely kills it; and
| a rat will often make no fight at all against
the same enemy. though 1t would defend
itself against ferret, which is larger thar
the stoat. 1t is the remorseless bloodthirst
and courage of the stoat which has wor
| this ascendency.

ANIMATED TRADING
ON THE STOCK MARKET
The Influence of Anticipated
Bank Showing.
Usually Inactive Shares Come
Prominently TO the Front.
Sugar Refining Advances Seven
Points and Reaches n Rec
ord Price.

New York, March 1S.-As the speculative
community expected an exceedingly unfa-
vorable showing by the banks, it sold
stocks with a good deal of con-
fidence during the greater part of the
forenoon. Its sales were most effective
in American Steel and Wire. Atchison pre-
ferred, Continental Tobacco. Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Metropolitan
Street Railway, and long list of usually
inactive stocks. The room traders were
unable to make any particular impression
upon Sugar Refining, Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. Peoples Gas, Tennessee Coal and
Iron, and Union Pacific preferred.
The bank statement, which was publish
ed about twenty minutes before the close
OF business, was favorably construed and
was followed by sharp rally that left the
majority of the list higher than yesterday.
Sugar Refining. which supplied about one
fifth of the total transactions, scored fur
ther noteworthy net advance, namely, 12
price recorded for 1t. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was also exceptionally strong on
reports that the company has secured con-
troll of the two elevated systems in Brook
lyn. Throughout the remainder of the list
the improvement was fractional.
As was the case last week, the most
significant change in the bank statement
was the decrease of nearly 81. soc. 600 in
the loans. That this contraction should
have taken place while business is un-
usually active, and remarkably heavy pay
ments have beeen made in connection with
the purchase of the Chicago and Alton,
and the financing of a number of large
industrial propositions without seriously
disturbing the money market argues well
for the future of that market.
The loss in lawful money, II is TO be
noted, is not much larger than the amount
paid into the Subtreasury near the close
OF last week in connection with the set
tlement of the Central Pacific Indebtedness
TO the Government. In other words the
banks have lost very little money this
week on current transactions. The change
in deposits shows that the liability of the
banks on that account has been decreased
nearly $4,000. 900 more than is called for
by the liquidation OF loans and the loss
of lawful money. AS no extraordinary
payments are 10 be made next week,
either to the Treasury OF in connection
with industrial enterprises, It would not
be surprising IL the banks should make
even better showing next Saturday than
they did today.

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube,
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbiing sound OF imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored 10 its

forever; nine cases cut of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
