New York. March 12.-The market
showed increased activity to-day, but
dealings were marked with great ir-
regularity. There were fitful fiuctu-
ations between weakness and strength
in general list. and at same time there
were independent movements among
the Indifferent railroad and industrial
issues. = Midday weakness was char
acterized by a sharp upward move in
the Coalers on the announcement of
this bureau that no danger of a strike
was apprehended. Later on the mar
ket became weak under the double in
f1uence of a severe break in Copper,
and a decided advance in call money.

industrials were Consolidated Gas.
General Electric, Cotton Oil and the
Pacifcs. The strong features in the
Railroads outside of the Coalers were
Rock Island and Union Pacific. The
rulers from the afternoon depression
were the Reading and Erie issues. Su-
gar was strong on the close.
