Government bonds strong.
State bonds inactive.
Railroad bonds irregular.

Stocks-There was some disposition
to sell stocks to-day. and the market
showed e. settling tendency throughout.
Sugar was so close to One-fourth OF
the days total dealings, and its mark
ed weakness doubtless held some SYM
pathetic effect on the rest OF the list.
Sentiment was also affected by the ap-
parent abandonment of any pool OPP
eratiOns for a rise. Unless the weak
ness of Sugar might be called such,
there was no urgency in the liquida-
ton, but there was dn absence of buy
ing it, The weakness of Sugar found no
explanation in any news announce
ment to-day. The approach of a quar-
terly dividend period gives opportunity
for the usual manipulation of the
stock, and the board room traders jul
bilantly train on to any movement Oh
she speculation which promises an
appreciable movement of prices. The
stock got down to within 1s of 118, and
closed only fraction above that up
and the down from the room shorts
Pressure against Peoples Gas and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit seemed to be
coupled with the movement against
Sugar in the early dealings, and later
American Tobacco was forced down,
but these stocks, except the last, show
ed a tendency to recover, Brooklyn
Transit rising above Saturdays level.
Losses extended TO a point or over here
and there in other stocks, and New Jer-
sey Central fell IA. London discounts
hardened to-day, and while money con-
ditions in Berlin are for the moment
easier, export authorities affirm that
very heavy obligations will have to be
met IN that market during the coming
month and later. Available funds in
New York continue apparently abund-
ant, but the season for the interior
movement of currency is fast approach
ing The relief which has been af-
forded to the New York money market
by sub-treasury operations for several
months past seems to have about come
to an end. About $4,000 900 of the ex-
tended U. S. 2 per cent still remain to
be redeemed, the majority of which
are on deposit at Washington to secure
circulation or government deposits.
The banks find difficulty in securing
new 2 per cent. bonds to replace these,
and they are in consequence substitute
ing lawful money at Washington and
retiring the circulation secured by the
called bonds, or are leaving them on
deposit in spite of the fact that interest
on them has ceased. There remains
about s6.0O0,000 OF circulation which
has been applied for by the banks, burt
which has not been issued. Beyond this
tie banks show no disposition to ex-
tend their circulation.
The bond market was dull and reac-
tionary. Total sales par value $780,
600.

burghers that the Free State was far
from conquered because its capital had
been occupied by the British He in
formed the burghers that England had
definitely refused to allow the republics
to remain independent states; therefore
| all the republics had to do now was to
fight to the last.
| president Steyn said that in the six
months the war had been going on the
Beers had lost less than 1000 men in
killed and that the fighting was really
| commencing now. As president he warn
| ed the Free State hurghers not to believe
| Lord Roberts proclamation and accept
| his invitation to lay down their arms.
He assured them that the British had
| failed on every occasion to keep the sol
emn treaties they had made. Sir Alfred
| Mflner. the governor of Cape Colony,
Mr.. Steyn declared, had publicly pro
| claimed that the Afrikanders would be
extermnated, knowing that the republics
would fight to the end. He closed by
| urging the burghers to place their trust
in God.
"President Steyn's appeal reused the
burghers to pitch of wild enthusiasm"
The Pretoria account of the skirmish

The second edition of The Times today
publishes dispatch from Bloemfontein
dated Monday, March 10, which says:
''The blowing up of bridges by the
Beers is an evident sign that the Trans
vaalers intend to abandon the defense of
the Free State"
All is quiet in the south and west. A
corps of young Beers from the farms sur
rounding Bloemfontein, under an impe-
rial officer, has been detailed for police
work and to prevent the further looting
of abandoned farms by the Kaffirs.
It is said that when President Kruger
left Bloemfontein, after his recent visit
there, President Steyn's parting remark
was:
