Great Rush of Banks TO Buy

New York, March e-Conditions were
mixed and the movement of prices was
very much confused on the stock ex-
change today. Sentiment is correspond
ingly conflicting among the speculative

described as one Of waiting on the part
Of the believers in higher prices. These
of the hesitation OF the bulls and the
entire lack OF outside interest In the
market to make vigorous attacks az vul-
nerable spots in the <arket. The results.
on the whole, were favorable to the
bears. They were very diligent in seek
ing out stocks which were unprotected
by supporting orders and in offering
them down below the price level where
selling orders were known to be placed
| in the stocks for the purpose OF saving
losses on any sudden decline. The sud
den fall in prices Of stocks thus selected,
and equally sudden and violent rallies
gave the key 10 the character Of this
selling. The furry in the rate for cal
money in the late afternoon 10 4 per cent
was favoring factor for the bears, but
the actual effect was very small. The
early tendency to advance in 1.-THE railroad
list was checked by the rnanouvers of the

were about wiped out The railroad list
yielded unwillingIy and only to a slight
degrees in spite of the light demand, and

at the close. Very earnest efforts were
made to weaken sugar, but the utmost
that could be achieved was A three-point
decline offerings of the stock being COM
paratively light. Third Avenue was
strong, rising an extreme 5is and impart-
ing sympathetic strength TO the other To-
cal traction stocks. Practically all the
iron and steel stocks were down from

portion of the loss and there were other
hess striking examples all through the list
OF specialties. In the railroad list St.
Paul, Burlington and Baltimore and Ohio
showed an extreme decline OF a point or
over, but the net changes in the railroads
are small throughout. It is evident that
the final disposition of the financial bill
by congress is awaited by the bull contin-
gent, who are generally confident that the
provisions for additional bank circulation
will be enacted into law and will result
in a notable expansion OF the currency.
The large buying Of government bonds
by national banks all over the country
and the expert estimates which are cur

by the new provisions are the grounds
of this confidence. Meantime, the money
market is working constantly closer and
the favorable factors in the outlook are
ignored, In the fear that the available
