Of the Stock Market Letter of J. l.. Me-
 Lean & Co.
 New York, March 31.-Some little dis appointment was expressed owing to the small amount of commission busi- ness done during the day, but the mar ket developed g. decidedly strong tone towards the clase.
 St. Paul advanced sharply in spite of the small decrease in net earnings re- ported Union Pacific however, report ed an increase in gross earnings for February of nearly half million dol lars over the same period last year.
 Further weakness in wheat only goes to confirm our previous opinion that crop conditions were never better, and that as the season progresses the up ward movement in stocks will receive additional impetus from this source. Really, there is only one side to this market, at least for the present, and you can continue to buy the better class of stocks on each reaction with safety
 Chicago markets: Further liquidation occurred in wheat early. The visible supply showed a. decrease of 1,3s4,000 short covering late in the session, re- sulting in fractional rallies. We ad- wise buying wheat now on all the reac- tions, adding to youf line on scale down Corn is dangerous and may go either way.

seems to insure the money market against any present furry there is no expectation in well informed circles of an early relaxation in the money rate. Foreign requirements are too large to permit the money rate here to run down without drawing gold. To-days ad- vance in terling, in spite of the closed markets in London and Paris. indicates that gold may go out anyhow. Pay ments of government interest this week in London are expected to ease the money market, but the British chan eellor of the eXchequer will undoubted- ly take advantage of the position to place the new loan, which is expected to amount to $250,000, 900, the monthly installments on which will hold the market firm in the future. Government interest payments here in New York of about $3,000,000 will be promptly offset by deposits of lawful money to retire ibank circulation up to the $3,000,0 900 monthly limit allowed, applications for which are already on file in Washing ton.
 Other uncertainties which have over hung the market for some time, and re- lief from which does not appear in sight, promise to keep restraining in- fluence on speculation for the immedi- ate future.
 Some of the speculative bonds were inclined to advance, but there was no general activity in the market. The to- tai sales, par value, aggregated $4,675,- 000
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Prices Marked Up at Opening-Spotty
 Character Developed.

New York, March 31.-The profession-
 al element on the stock exchange to-day
 had some hopes that the favorable bank
 statement published on Saturday dur
 ing the holiday interval in the trading
 would induce some speculative activity
 and they marked up prices at the open
 ing with a show of energy. The mar
 ket almost immediately developed the
 spotty character which has been the
 rule of late and fell into heaviness and
 semi-stagnation. There was another
 upward movement towards the end of
 the day, based on the assumption that the quarterly and monthly disburse-
 ments to be made tomorrow and the completion of the preparation for them would result in relaxation of the mon ey market.
 St Paul was about the only stock which is usually prominent to show an advance of over a point in spite of the decrease in net earnings for February reported to-day while Union Pacific, which reported a handsome increase in February net earnings, fell short of the one-point advance and reacted again before lUe clUSb. lLOCh lSldllU IOuI- point advance and the gains by the Chi cago and Northwestern stocks were not very convincing, while the rise of all the way from one to over six points in a group of less conspicuous stocks was quite iueffectual tu induce a speGula tive following. The Canadian Pacific group, including the Minneapolis. St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie stocks, and the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic, were most in this category Hooking Valley also forged upwards 2ls. The activity in these was dwarfed by the overwhelming preponderance of Cobra do Fuel, Amalgamated Copper and Su- gar in the dealings. All of these were depressed after the opening, but recov- cred sharply, Sugar rising point above last week on account of the report from | the committee of the ways and means Cuban reciprocity bill. All these stocks reacted again at the close, which was Irregular.
