New York, March s.--The stock market
was dull most of the day except at the
closing, when there was considerable ac-
tvity. The interest largely centered in
the coalers. which made some handsome
advances. and a number of the specialties
went up over point, while fractional adj
vances were the rule in many other
stocks.
The published report of a combination
of practically all of the coalers was the
cause for strength in those properties.
Much interest attached to the declaration
of the regular dividends in Sugar. The
market waited until 1t was announced and
then activity appeared. Sugar, after OPEN
early gain, rose about four points for the
day.
The large payment which the govern
ment was to make to the Southern Pa
lent strength to that property. The stag
nation which prevailed the greater part
of the session, with fluctuations of only
* or so, was dspeled during the final
dealings, when the coalers were marked
up, and there were sympathetic rises
elsewhere. Lackawanna and Reading LIST
preferred led the coalers with an advance
of points each. Among the standard
stocks st. Paul gained points.
Bonds were at higher level for the
leading issues. Total sales s4,60O0oo.
