New York, March 1.-Stocks to-day
again opened up and then worked hover,
with some rallies. Dealings were on rather
a less extensive scale than of late. The
specialties displayed extreme irregularity
and the standing stocks showed weakness
most of the day. The opening rise was
associated with the more favorable aspect
of the Philippine situation, due to Ger
many's withdrawal of her cruisers, sup
posedly lessening the chance of complica-
tons.
The s., 100000 in dividends and interest
which was payable to-day had but little
appreciate effect upon the money mar

in the active demand, were about on an
equality in the decline.
Among the high-priced stocks, Third av-
enue, Consolidated Gas and Tobacco made
notable gains, part of which was lost in
the late trading. The professionals were
in control of the trading most of the day.
