STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March THE stock mar
ket to-day showed evidence of con-
fiicting emotions on the part OF the
professional spectators who make up
the present market. There was sonfe-
thing of a struggle during the early
part of the day to keep prices moving
upward and number OF speoialties
shot up i'm the way which has become
so, familiar of late. Others which
were violently advanced yesterday
showed a tendency to an abrupt re-
lapse.
The general active list took on ITS
recently somnolent condition, suggest
ing that the demand from the short
interest which caused yesterdays
sharp rise had been sa tisfied. The no.
tice that 81 900, 900 of the gold engaged
for to-mowow's steamer had been
withdrawn from export lad a mild
the later forecast of to-morrow's
bank statement showed sufficient
ground for apprehension still re-
naming of the rate of depletion of
the New York bank reserves The
report that the government had filed
its suit against the Northern Seeuri-
ties Company with the United States
Court at st. Paul also called a ripple
of alarm, although Ii has been album
phase in the case. The preliminary
figures of money movement for the
week indicate that the banks have lost
cash to the extent of nearly s., 900 900,
including the $2.300.0O0 which is to go
on to-morrow's steamer.
With the present dimensions of the
deposit and cash items of the New
York banks, the surplus at its present
figure is almost wholly nominal any,
way and a variation of a few millions
has little effect on the proportion of
the reserve. The hardening tendency
of the money market is a convincing

mills would commence tomorrow to

the day was / point. The amount
brought into sight during the week
was 5000 in excess of last year, and
the total marketed from Sept. /, to
date is S,S19,000 being an increase of
1855 over last year; therefore as the
growth last year. was 10,519, 600, and if
there is no more cotton in the South
than last season the movement on it's
face points to a crop of 1885, 600 The
interior towns during the week receiv-
ed $4,000 against 10000 last year, and
hold in stock 100000 against 621 900 last
year, and 449, 900 in the record crop

interior towns stocks are larger now
than in any previous year. The total
stock of American ashore and afloat
to Liverpool is 100000 or a gain of

year before last. The visible supply
of American decreased during the
week 10000 against an increase of
1900 last year. and the total to date
shows an increase of 21S,O00 over last
year. The so-day's statement issued
to-day up to March 1, shows that 219,-

state during February against $4,000
