STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 27.-Prices of stocks
yielded to a sharp attack late in the
cay to-day and were carried between
l and points below last night for the
principal market leaders 1t was re-
ported that the banks were calling
loans and presumably forcing some Ii
quotation, but the active demand from
shorts to cover at the decline indi-
Gated that short selling had played a
considerable part in the break. The
serious inroads upon bank reserves re-
sulting from the weeks currency
movement was the cause of the de-
cline. Previous to that the market had
been neglected and sluggish with
sagging tendency rather than actively
weak.
The vigorous support of the Wabash
issues, some early recovery from yes
terday's weakness by st. Paul and an
upward tendency by Amalgamated
Copper and few other stocks served
as obstacles to the early tendency to
decline. Traders professed to be wait
ing upon the formal announcement of
he Rock Island and ST. Louis and
San Francisco project, and upon def
mite inforna ton to indicate the fate
of the Aldrich financial bill for this
session. An attempt was made to con-
meet tho Wabash movement with the
evidently far-rea ching plan in the
Southwestern Railroad world working
out through the medium of Rock ISL
and. but the dealings in Wabash were
by a few room traders. who dealt with
each other on very large scale.
With the surplus reserves of the
banks down to about 100000 last
week, and with a loss for this week
indicated in cash reserves of within
$500, 900 of that amount it will be seen
that serious condition will confront
the New York money market unless
considerable offset to the reserve
Shrinkage has been effected by loan
contraction. Preparation for the
March settlement increased the pres
sure to-day so that call loans were
forced up to 4 per cent. before the
close Time money is very firmly held
ut per cent. for all periods. There is
nothing to indicate early cessation of
the interior demand for currency nor
of the sub-treasury requirements up
on the money market. The market
closed irregular at the rally on cover
ing by shorts.
The bond market weakened in SYM
pathy with stocks. Total sales par val

Nice Army to Fight With.

In a letter from an English officer
employed in the Chinese army, he says:
"Since have been here l have had nc
regular appointment to any Chinese
force, and / have had no pay, only q
few hundred dollars for expenses J
have had three ribs broken, been blown
about ten wards into the air, and had
all my men desert me on every possible
occasion. / cannot run fast enough tt
keep up with the fighting line, and W
to now they have shown no dlspositiol
to wait for me- A nice army, this, t.

contract. The price is something un
der one-half a cent a head per diem
but then you can get considerable RE
in japan for half a cent.
