WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
stocks Irregular After Early
Strength Cotton Lower - Wheat

stocks Irregular After Early
Dull.
The stock market opened buoyant on
Monday, with a great burst of activity
and strength in iron and steel shares.
The terms of the great combination were
announced on Tuesday, and caused great
irregularity in price movements, the sew
eral companies advancing or declining ac-
cording as the relative adjustment was
regarded as favorable or otherwise Hoop
was strong, and wire very weak, the lat
ter declining 10 points from Monday
top, finally closing about ~ points lower
for the week. Federal Steel common
closed 3 points lower, while the preferre
advanced about as much. Tennessee
coal lost points.
In the rest of the market, Sugar and
Tobacco were strong, and a few roads,
notably st. Paul, show advances; but as
a rule the general market is lower
The iron stocks, Sugar and Tobacco,
look strong. The iron stocks have had
sharp shaking out, apparently without
any Justihable reason. Reports from the
iron trade are very favorable, and all
the companies concerned are expected ia
profit largely by the combination. Wire
looks tempting purchase below 49, A
rather disturbing circumstance, however
is the report that the Tennessee Coal
Company is about to issue some 5000. voc
bonds Ito provide for improvements and
other needs of the property" Perhaps II
is all right. but it looks strange, and
would appear to make Tennessee the
least desirable purchase of the whole
group
Cotton was weak especially toward tho
end of the week, May declining to $500
on Saturday. finally closing S.S2c, net loss
of q points. Port receipts were light
hut the amount coming into sight for the
week was about the same as last year
Hereafter the movement ought to rather
run ahead OF than behind last year Pooi
demand and increasing talk of big croi
preparations We're depressing factors. II

BANKER CLENrs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook ms Seen From
Wall street.


New York, March 2.-The stock market
is in a waiting condition. Many of the
leading operators have gone South for a
period of rest; and, while it is not inn
possible for them to plan and execute
at such a distance, still sbsenteeism of
that sort tends to restrict Stock Ex-
change activity. This state of affairs. of
course, Is not helpful 10 vigorous bull
movement; and there are two other fac
tors. which, though not seriously adverse,
are certainly not helpful: one being the
money market and the other the high
range of values. There is no prospect Of
stringent money during the next three
weeks; vet rates ere quite likely to rule
somewhat hrmer and bank reserves
shrink Until after the first of April we
will probably not witness easier rates for
money, although the interests OF
the big financial leaders are such
that they VIII use inc"
full power IL necessary TO avert any spe-
cial stringency. AS to the effect Of high
prices. al present they are a distinct de-
terrent TO new bold buying IN the absence
Of any other sort OF bull stimulant. The
public appetite for stocks seems TO have
heen amply satisfied for the present, and
fresh Inducements are needed TO enter
the market, either In the form OF lower
prices or deals OF some sort that will add
10 intrinsic values. There are endless
rumors of Just such deals, but most Of
these are so shadoHy that buyers ars
generally on their guard and require
some tangible evidence. II Is whole
some factor IN the situation. that white
Wall street Is still In an optimistic MOOD.
Il II nevertheless cautious. Railroad
earnings continue 10 make most satisfac-
.orv gains: showing that business
throughout tho country as q whole Is ae-
tive and sound.
