poured out into the stomach, which consti-
tutes a very serious drain upon the vital

DEALINGS Light ON
A SAGGING MARKET
Stocks Decline on Aggressive
Short Selling.
Some Standard Issues Show Loss in
Excess of a Point.
New York Central and the Granger
Shares Included i'm the Drop
The General Market.

New York, March 6.-Desultory liquida-
ton and aggressive short selling caused
some substantial declines in todays stock
market The operations in question for
both accounts seemed to have a common
motive, namely, the advance in the rates
for call loans. While the transient charac-
ter of the closer market for call loans was
clearly disclosed in the unchanged rates
obtaining for loans on time. the room
traders still had the first tangible argu-
ment for decline that they had for some
time, and it was utilized for all it was
worth; and it was, indeed, about the sole
feature of the days situation. The day g
traffic returns for various periods showed
both the effects of the severe weather con-
ditions prevailing. and also that the roads
in certain sections are rapidly recovering
from the consequent interruption to busi-
ness. Little or no attention was, however,
paid TO the traffic returns, to the receipts
of S1,25O,060 gold through the mails from
San Francisco, or to other of the days
routine circumstances. AS is usually the
case in sagging market, business was
comparatively light in volume, though the
large public interest remaining in the
market resulted in a fair distribution of
the dealings with the standard issues
IL y.
The extreme declines in the standard is
sues, including such stocks as New York
Central and the granger shares, were in
excess of ! point. For the most part the
best prices of the day were made at the
opening of business, and the decline from
the early general level was continuous up
to the last hour. London's influence in the
market was small. In the opening deal
ings few stocks showed sharp advances,
noteworthy cases being the Reading issues
and the other Anthracite coal shares.
General Electric. Sugar Refining, and the
Steel and Wire stocks. The apparent de-
mand for these stocks was, however,
checked by the appearance of weakness in
the general market, and the early gains
were wholly or in part lost before the
close. The early advance in Sugar Refin-
ing was clearly based upon the general
conviction that the company will declare
the usual dividend of 3 per cent On
Wednesday. and friends of the stock were
busy in explaining that the resolutions
passed in January did not necessarily i'm
ply suspension of dividends, even in
view of the current trade conditions. AS
compared with other active issues, the Pa
cific shares were rather steady, and the
anthracite stocks were in better request
toward the close of business.

ful analysis Of the earnings is enough to
convince anyone that the subsidy is not
needed to insure tremendous profits. In
the year ending April so. 1895 the company
showed gross earnings of S4.064. 900. In the
4 first eight months of the year which will
end April 80, 1899. or up to December 81

On this basis. which will undoubtedly be
kept up, the earnings for the full year will
be $i542, 400. This amount is almost half
a million increase This increase alone is
almost enough to pay the present 3 per
cent rate OF dividend on the $4,000, 900 to-
tai capitalization. 1t is estimated that
more than per cent profit will be shown
for the year. Something should perhaps
be deducted in estimates for future busi-
ness on account of the large profits in the
Government contracts during the past year,
but il seems certain that the growth of
American commerce in the Orient will
more than make up for this. AS a matter

10 per cent earnings, as not in the least
unlikely in the near future.
