T.C. l. FIRM IN SYMPATHY

New York. March 2s.--Todays stock market was very dull and professional affair. Colorado Fuel and Amalgamated Copper absorbed between them a large proportion of the days dealings from the opening to the close. The first named ranged up to 2% over last night and the copper stock to 1%. Colorado Fuel lost the greater part of the gain on realizing during the latter part of the day, but Amalgamated retained all but small fraction. It's subsidiary stock was also firm at or about last nights price, not withstanding the indefinite postponement from yesterday of the Anaconda dividend meeting.
 The demand was attributed to a short interest which sought to take advantage of discouraging news to cover their con- tracts. The stock was not offered as freely as the bears had anticipated. There was no new development in Colorado Fuel and the large transactions in the stock were by the same brokers as those recently active in it. The preferred made an opening jump of points. relapsed and rallied 4. Tennessee Coal was firm in sympathy, but the other active stocks were neglected and heavy American Telephone rose 4 and North American rallied over last night. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie was at one time up points and the preferred 3. There was some firmness in one or two Of the prominent railroad stocks but the tendency of the general list was lower. The factors influencing the market were practically the same as those of yester- day. The threat of a strike by the an= thracite miners had a widespread influ- ence and Wall street opinion is by no means confident of the outcome.
 A violent break in Evansville and Terre Haute caused violent break in both the stocks of that company and had a sinis- ter effect on other stocks, which have been pushed up on rather vague assur- anees of dividends. Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville was notably affected, but recovered part of the loss. The coalers themselves, as a rule, were only slightly affected by the labor situation, but Lack awanna made a violent break of 41a The coming adjustment of the exchange from Thursday to Monday had the usual effect of causing a closing up of contracts. There is some fear that the demand in the loan market to carry oyer stocks from Thursday until Monday will cause a furry in call loan money rates today. There is a possibility also that a poor statement will be published in the in- terim.
 The possible breaking off of negotia- tions for peace in South Africa before trading is resumed was taken account of, as well as the apparent approach of the end of the career of Cecil Rhodes, which was in fact reported on the exchange late in the day. The market closed easy.
 There was a yielding tendency In the oF aIe t,,e cfp Green Bay and Western debenture Bs were an exception, with a rise of 114 To- tai sales par value, $2,560,00O
