STOCKS ANp BONDS.

New York, March THE stock market
today showed evidence Of conflicting
emotions or the part OF the professional
SPECTATORS who make I'd the present
There was something of d struggle dur
ing the early part OF the day TO keep
prices moving upwards, and number OF
speclalties shOt up II the way which has
become so familiar Of late. Others which
were violently advanced yesterday show
ed tendency to an abrupt relapse. The
general active list took on its recently
SOmnoHtiOn condition, suggesting that the
demand from the shirt interest which
caused yesterdays sharp rise had been
satisfied. The notice that Sl,OJoOoJ OF the
gold engaged for tomorrow steamer had
been withdrawn from export had mid
stimulating effect on the market, out the
later forecast OF tomorrow bank state
ment showed sufficient ground for appre-
hension stil remaining.
The report that rhe government has
filed its suit against the Northern Securi-
ties company with the United States court
ct st. Paul also caused ripple of alarm,
although it had been abundantly fore
seen and presented no no phase IN the
case The preliminary figures Of money
movement for the week indicate that the
banks have exported 10 the extent or
nearly So 0Q0, 90, including the gold eX-
ported on Thursday, but not including
the $3.50, 600 which is TO go on tomOr-
row S steamer. Il is argued that Thurs
days gold exports, coming late IN the
week, viii not figure for their Iu0 effect
IL the bank statement under the aver
age system, but the same thing was true
or last weeks statement, leaving the
residue of last weeks cash losses to be
carried over into this week. The appre-
hensiOn is therefore that the small sur
plus may be cut in two. With the pres
ent dimensions Of the deposit and cash
items in the New York banks, the surplus
at its present figure is almost wholly NOM
iEal anyway. and a variation of a few
millions has little effect on the proper
ton OF the reserve. The hardening ten
dency of the money market is a cOnvfnc-
ing evidence. however, that the banks
are not anxious at present 10 extent their
Colorado Fuel was most conspicuous,
with a feVerish reaction which reached
points at one time. Chicago and North
western, after a rise Of IL. also turned
downward and fell at one time 3l2c under
last night.
On the side of advances St. Paul, Min
neapolis and Omaha added points 10 its
price, and the preferred 3. The rise OF
over points in Evansville and Terre
Haute was in response to yesterday
rise in Chicago and Eastern Illinois.

the last two on reports Of Intended con-

of obscure stocks with one or two points
advances to their credit, all OF which
were more or less impaired by the late
reaction. The market closed rather easy
