THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, March 10.-The movement
of stock prices today was irregular, the
railways being generally fractionally
off, while some advances were record
ed among the speciaIties.
Local traction stocks were buoyant
on the idea that the action of the state
Senate yesterday diminished the
chance of hostile legislation in restrict
ing the use of Amsterdam avenue.
which would particularly affect Third
avenue, which rose an extreme of -
way rose nearly as much.
Among the other specialties to dis
play strength were Tobacco, American
Steel and Wire, Peoples Gas Amer
lean Spirits. Standard distributing,
Consolidated Gas, Brooklyn Transit,
New York Air Brake, American Tin
Plate, Cotton Oil and Tennessee Coal
and Iron, although the full gains were
not maintained.
The railways and some other stand
ard stocks sagged slightly for lack of
attention.
In the early dealings London was the
principal seller While in the afternoon
some selling appeared for both ac-
counts on representations that there
would be another heavy decrease in
the surplus reserve in tomorrow s
bank statement, but prophecies as to
the bank statementbased on the known
data of Friday had often of late proved
misleading.
The action of the days market
seemed to show that the specialties
were -eminently in favor with the
professional element. The early deal
ings were featured by an almost en-
tire concentration Of interests into the
higher priced stocks, which moved in
a sensational manner. The standard
stocks trsiled along somewhat sympa-
thetcally, but soon developed a yield
ing tendency.
In the late session interest shifted in
to the low priced specialties, which
had not moved proportionately with
the rise in the industrial division in
the morning. The last hours trading
following the Union Pacific announce
ment was of an exceptionally uninter-
estng' character, scarcely any interest
being evidenced in the movement Of
prices. The closing was dull and
steady.
Bond prices moved somewhat hest
tatingly today, some active liens work
ing upward, while others yielded in
sympathy with stock influences.
