New York. March 14.-The net changes
in stock prices to-day were irregular, with
mostly losses prevailing. London quota
tlons induced lower range Of prices here
at the start.
Firmness in the call money market,
which ranged from 8 10 4. was a depress-
Ing Influence much of the day, but with
its easing off to 3031a before the close a
rally set ln which wiped out earlier losses
in some stocks
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Atchl-
son preferred and Manhattan were under
pressure most of the day, and disturbed
confidence among the other railroads,
which were weak on moderate offerings.
The weakness in Manhattan was perhaps
attributable to anticipation Of the new is
sue OF stocks. Fear OF the possible failure
of desired legislation affected Third Ave
nue. and Consolidated Gas while in con-
nection with the latter there was also
talk of increased competition.
The pronounced strength of Tobacco,
which at one time touched 21414, was I'M
accompanied by any explanatory news.
Sugar displayed considerable flrmness
when other points of weakness were APP
pearing, and ended with small net adj
vance Chicago Terminal Hooking,
Coal and Iron and Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf were features of the
strength. In the afternoon rally the Gran
gers and standard shares generally were
lifted about point from their low figure
and retained most OF the recovery leav-
ing them irregularly changed for the day.
The calling of some loans by the banks
for syndicate account, preparatory 10 the
payment of three-fifths of the Chicago
and Alton money, due tomorrow, in con-
nection with the recent deal" was in n
large measure responsible for the strength
in call money. There was q reflex easing
in sterling exchange due to the strength
of money here.
The sales for London account for the
day were estimated al 10000 shares. The
market closed firm. There was an alb
sence of decided tone In to-days market
for the active Issues within narrow lin
its. Total sales, $3,210,000 United States
