STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March THE stock mar
ket was thrown into a condition of de-
moralization to-day by the disclosure
of the fact that the surplus reserves of
the clearing house banks was practi-
cally wiped out. Excluding govern
nent deposits this item is now $666,975,
compared with $3,95s,425 at this time
last year, and $10,7 ,275 two years ago.
The severe loss in cash reserves was
about as much above the preliminary
estimates as last weeks loss was below
it, thus disclosing the rectification by
the average system of computation OF
last weeks discrepancy. The $10,000,-
900 loan contraction fulfilled the ex-
pectations that the stock market liqui-
dation of the week and the shifting of
loans to foreign money markets would
be reflected in that item, but the loan
contraction must have been near $40,-
0O0,0 900 to keep pace with the rate of
depletion of cash reserves. No reader
of the bank statement could be left in
doubt that further calling Of loans
would have to be resorted to by the
banks next week, and operators threw
over stocks in all directions to prepare
for this emergency. Some futile efforts
were made to check the decline by sup
porting orders, but these proved too
fiimsy for the purpose, and prices broke
through violently 10 the lowest of the
week.
Prices were crumbling dangerously
when the market closed at about the,
lowest, and on very active dealings.
Fierce raiding tactics by the bears were
a factor in the slump. The speculative
contest in Union Pacific was made evi-
dent by the extreme break OF 3% in
that stock. Losses in st. PAU, Cana
dian Pacific. Manhattan, New York
Central and st. Louis and San Fran
cisco ran from 20 sss. The bank state
nnent appeared 20 be the sole factor in
the market and before It's appearances

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

New Orleans, March This was the
dullest day experienced in the spot
cotton market for several weeks. Quo
tations reduced 1-16c. Futures at the
opening to 3 points up, but soon be-
gan to follow New York, where the
bears were hammering the market, and
prices declined rapidly, March losing 9
points, and May and July 10 each. Lat
er in the day buying by shorts sent
prices up to points. Slight fluctua-
tions followed. and the market at the
close showed net losses of points on
March, on April, and l to points
on the other positions.

feature of the early trading was the
sale of a large block of May by a
German house. Trading in general
was only moderately active, with the
weather still bad in the South, which
led to caution in making ventures on
the short side, of the. account as a
late start for the crop was suggested.
On the other hand, receipts were heav-
Ter than expected, with Houston show
ing up particularly full. Cables were
a trihe better than expected, but
houses with European connections APP
peared to be selling in moderate way,
with private cables indicating dissat-
isfaction with the trade conditions
abroad.
Cotton futures closed very steady,
with prices net 4 points lower to 4
points higher. The spot market closed
dull with prices points lower on the
basis of $3.50 for middling upland and

The Morning News Office,
Saturday, March Z.
Cotton took another downward turn
to-day, though the tendency to de-
cline was not so pronounced as pre-
viously. Weekend evening up was
attributed as one of the causes for the
heaviness. Locally the demand was
light and little spot business was
done. Buyers are now looking for
bargains, and as factors have not yet
placed any goods upon this counter
trading was restricted. The response
from the country to port bids indicated
a backwardness that held trading in
check. Naval stores closed firm, with
turpentine firm at Csc, and rosin firm
and unchanged. With scant receipts
the offerings barely meet the daily de-
mands. The wholesale markets closed
steady. Resume of the markets and

New York, March Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.62@9. &c,
and after selling at 9.65c. ruled at 9.55c
at IL a. m. To-day's reaction was has-
ed upon the natural tendency of the
local trade to close their transactions
over Sunday in view of the continued
reduction in our stock. On this decline
we have passed below the Southern
markets and as our stock is being rap
idly shipped away, the local situation
is the strongest for many seasons. This
view is always before the market
causing a feeling of caution among the
trade after such a severe liquidation.
In the last hour covering demand set
in for the sellers of yesterday which
finally closed the market at a substan-
tial rally from the close of yesterday.
Although the Southern markets are
easier there will be little Offering in
Liverpool Monday and that market
should react. The spot market was
dull points decline.
