THE STOCK MARK EFT.
SpeciaIties sun Occupied Largest Share
 of Attention.

New York, March 20.-The so-called
 specialties still occupied the largest share of the attention of the stock market to-day. Their movements were not quite so wide nor so feverish- ly cratic as yesterday. But there was still an eccentric irregularity in this portion of the market. As for the stan- dard stocks that usually make up the bulk of the trading by reason of their large capitalization and representative character they were neglected and sluggish as they have been for some time. There was some heaviness amongst the anthracite carriers caused by the rather threatening attitude as- sumed by the miners conference at Shamokin, but the declines in that group were limited to fractions and good recoveries were made. There was good support in St Paul without any explanation for the buying, which gave rise to the supposition that the support was part of the plan to facilitate the operations of speculative pools else where in the market. Colorado Fuel was again a conspicuous figure and touched yesterdays high level again at 107, closing with a net gain of 4 3-S af- ter very cratic course during the day. This movement seemed to have sympathetic effect on Tennessee Coal and Hooking Coal but the United States Steel stocks continued neglected and heavy as they have been ever since the proposed bond issue was announced Sugar was sold early on professed dis appointment over the terms of the bill for reducing the Cuban sugar tariff, but later it rose strongly and closed with 9 net gain of a point Amalga- mated Copper continued quite active and was bought by the shorts to cover yielding it q net gain O. about a point. Amongst the minor stocks there were some new candidates for favor, while attempts to market other stocks re- gently bought at higher prices made broad inroads on those prices on very small sales. There was conspicuous demand sor Chicago Union Traction and International Power and the newly listed corn product stocks were ad- vanced more than 8 point over their first sale price. The local fractions ad- vanced in response to the announce ment of the favorable action of stock holders in the Brooklyn Transit com pany and the Metropolitan Street Railway company upon the proposed capital establishments. The rise of 1-2 in Long Island seemed to be in sympathy with this group. The market closed quite active but irregular. Growing consideration is given to the money supplies between now and the time of the April quarterly settlements. The gain by the banks on sub treas ury operations as a result of the clos ing of the governments offer for re- demption of bonds shows tendency to dwindle
 The continued firmness of the Lon don money market and the large gov ernment loan operations looming In the near future there and on the continent are also subject to consideration.
 The active speculative issues in the bond market were inclined to be heavy, but the general list was irregular. To- tai sales par value S2,450,000
