Murphy & uompany's Stock Letter

New York, March 9.-After somewhat weak opening. with continued liquidation in Baltimore and Ohio issues, Atchisons, Missouri Pacific and the grangers, the mar ket steadied and rallied later.
 Sugar showed best recovery on the day and advanced nearly points on short cov- ering and buying from bull pool.
 The industrials generally sympathized. Chicago was a buyer of Peoples Gas and the steel stocks. There was also good buy ing of Atchison at the close on anticipa- tion of increased dividend in June.
 Money continued easy in spite of ship ments of gold Close in railroad stocks showed better feeling, and good buy ing was reported in the granger and Penn sylvania issues.
 The industrials and fractions both showed strength and the tone of the market was more confident than for sometime past

LIQUIDATION IN
 STOCK MARKET All Losses Were Fully Retrieved
 at the Close. BU0YANT RISE IN SUGAR Materially Assisted the Recovery in Other Stocks-A Rather Positive Strength Shown in Princi-
 pal Metal Stocks
BU0YANT RISE IN SUGAR

New York, May 9.-There was further large liquidation of stocks in the market today and prices were at one time from l to 2h points below last night for large number of the active railroad stocks. Be- fore the close of the market the losses were fully retrieved in many stocks and in few of those which had been most actively affected by the small net gains, others were established.
 The late recovery was materially assisted by buoyant rise in sugar to a level of 5A above last night and by rather positive strength in the principal metal stocks. The appearance thus given was that of the completion of a spasm of liquidation and the subsequent covering of belated out standing short contracts and a buying of stocks by careful observers who had stood by watching for the low point of the mar ket to get. How well this appearance Is justified by the actual conditions can only be demonstrated by future events
 The local money market also showed a Slightly hardening tendency, especially for time loans. which showed the possibility of an automatic check to the gold export movement in case of any increased need for money here. All the trunk lines, Pa cifics, the Atchisons Missouri Pacific and Louisville were special sufferers from the Liquidation. The firmness of the steel stocks was doubtless due to the large liquidation already affected in them and the outstand- Ing report interest. This condition make them available for manipulation for a rise to help sustain the market
 Liquidation was in evidence in the bond market as we'll as in the stock market and hish grade bonds were affected along with the speculative issues. Total sales. par value S,970,000.

PRICES GAVE WAY SHARPLY

New York, May 9.-The cotton market was qulet today and at no time during the ses- sion did bulls or bears have marked ad- vantage. The market started steady, with the present crop months, 16D2 higher on bet ter English advices, the feature of the lat ter being large spot sales at full prices. The new crop positions opened off 1@2 points higher under reports of general i'm provement in affairs in the belt
 Up to midday there was little further change in values, but early in the after noon good weather predictions and promise or larger receipts brought out considerable icng cotton, and led to fairly active short selling. Prices gave way sharply to this pressure. and failed to fully recover I'D to the close. Sentiment was more or less main- talned. The market was finally quiet with prices l point higher to net lower.

New York, May 9.-The Commercial-Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
 The market here was flat all day, includ- ing Australians. Business in Americans was less heavy than yesterday and there was a slightly better tone at the close. Accompanied by the usual rumor that B. GOO Boers had surrendered, funds were still declining and the war loan has been at only 1916 premium. The county council discussed today an issue of f5,OOOOOO. Americans opened sick under parity, but rallied quickly. New York, however, came still worse and the market closed at the bottom. In the street it was steady for few minutes and then broke again. There were weak spots both here and on the Continent The London speculation proves to have been bigger than was thought, but there was slight inclination to buy on the decline. Paris was unsettled and sold at times 7s down. The disparity between spot and forward is growing. Bills were more plentiful and the bank did fair business. There were no loans.
