the day did not hold out the promise OF
the early dealings and again refapsed into
a dull and drifting condition, with the
dealings almost entirely in professional
hands and only the more obscure stocks
moying with any degree of energy.
There was a marked demand for the
Readings and an apparent attempt to shift
the leadership into the coalers from the
week was supposed to be due to the favor
able prospects of the grain crops. But the
obvious fact that selling to take, profits
work of professional hands, detracted from
the influence. of the new strength in the
the street and the return to New York from
holiday excursions of other large capital
of the traders to result in a resumption OF
market activity, but for the buying of the
Readings no such influence was apparent.
Amalgamated Copper was notably active,
and, with occasional rallies, was depressed
on account of a fear that the Anaconda
dividend to be acted on this week will not
be maintained. There was an active specu-
lation In the United States Leather stocks

panied by reports subsequently circulated,
that the accumulated dividends due on the
preferred stock were to be funded into a

with r net gain of a point. Soothing assur-
ances were heard that the condition of the
money market was perfectly safe, but the
forces of depletion at work upon the cash
reserves of the banks and the narrow
margin of their surplus reserve kept awake
an uneasy sentiment regarding the condi-
ton of the market until the April settle

from the market, an interior demand FOR
currency and sterling exchange again hard
ening toward the gold export point, 1t is
felt that there is danger of furries in the
money market, even II a sustained string
ency can be avoided. The market closed

LONDON, March 24.-The scarcity of
money stiffened rates today and borrowers
were entirely dependent on the Bank of
England. Discounts were firm. Business
on the Stock exchange opened with much
cheerfulness, Influenced by the news from
Pretoria, which was generally regarded as
meaning the ~reopening of peace negotla-
tions. A sharp advance in prices was the
result, notably In consuls and Kaffirs, but
the settlement and the approach of the
holidays checked business. Home rails
hardened. Americans were Arm. They
were largely neglected and closed quiet
and steady. Kafirs opened steady, Rands
made substantial gains. They afterward
reacted slightly owing to a disposition to
await developments. Spanish As and Rio
tintos recovered. Copper was irregular and

CATTLE-There was not a heavy run of
cattle here today, so that the market held
week In spite of the fact that Chicago was
quoted weak to a dime lower. There were
quite a few beef steers in the receipts, but
still an unusually large proportion of the
offerings consisted of stock cattle.
Steer buyers were all out early, and as a
general thing anything at all desirable in
the way of fat steers sold freely at just
cattle sold to the best advantage, but still
even the heavier grades sold at right
around steady prices. The fact that Chi
a slight depressing effect upon the trade,
but there were not enough cattle here to
enable buyers to take of much of anything
at this point. Practically everything Of
fered was out of first hands at an early
hour.
The COW market also showed very little
change as compared with the close of last
week. Anything good sold readily in about
the same as usual, the grades
and particularly the tanners were neg
lected and hard to sell at any price. In
some cases statesmen did not think they
got as much for those kinds as they ought
to, but the medium grades and canner
have been selling so unevenly OF late that
II is difficult to tell what the market price
is for such kinds.
There was not enough change in the
prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stays
to be worthy of mention. Desirable grades
were in active demand, but other kinds sold
slowly,
AS noted above, there was a large supply
of stock cattle on hand this morning, con-
sidering the total receipts. Yard traders,
however, all seemed to be anxious for cattle
owing to the fact that they cleaned up
their last weeks supply in good shape.
good steady prices, but still even the less
desirable grades sold for just about as
much as was paid toward the close of last
week. Representative sales:
