NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market SIN Depressed, while Prices
Are Feverish and IRREGULAR.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The undertone OF
the stock. market continued depressed
was feverish and irregular throughout.
There was quite a general show OF strength
at the opening and individual points of
strength at different times afterward, but
moth ng in the way of gains was left at the
close, which was dull and weak. The light
ning course of the money market con-
tinued to be the dominant FACTOR In damp
ening any speculative enthusiasm. Time
money tates continued to harden and the
traders do not care to do business at lower
rates than 4%q0 per cent tor any period.
This was the decisive index of the money
situation. There was a tightening Eere and
relaxation by other matters bearing on the
money situation, but these were the result
of offsetting factors. Yesterdays heavy
demands from Chicago Introduce a new
factor of Importance into the situation. Tho
subtrcasury was not called upon today TO
make any further transfer to that point,
"lined 10 points to 40c discount, showing a
continuance of the pressure for funds.
Yesterdays transfers through the sub
treasury, combined with very large customs
collections. brought the loss of the market
to the government institution for the day
Up to &,Zl9,OO0. making the aggregate loss
is some talk that this heavy drain upon
cash resources will be offset by a large
banks by a transfer to foreign lenders. As
a matter of fact, loan bills made their re-
appearance In the foreign exchange today
ana were principally responsible for the
easier tone in that market, although there
were large export takings of corn today
and London bought stocks slightly on bal
ance. On the other hand sterling at Paris
reacted again. 1t was not known, how
ever, until after the close of the market
that arrangements had been made for the
shipment of S750,OOJ in gold to Buenos
Ayres. This is described as a special trans
action, but it's effect on cash reserves Is not
different from the most orthodox regular
transaction. 1t is not considered probable
that the weak closing i'm tho stock market
was due to an inkling of this news The
lack of confirmation Of yesterdays rumors
regarding Wabash and San Francisco as
to connections with other large systems
naturally tend to realizing. The advance In
Rock Island had the appearance of an eff
fort to revive the influence of the rumors.
The pressure against Metropolitan Street
Railway was also regarded as rather
ominous. The rise in st. Paul was due to
the possibilities that the directors at to-
morrow's meeting may take action on the
proposed new stock issue. Amalgamated
Copper felt the benefit of an advance in
the selling price to Europe of the metal.
Laclede Gas and North Americsl reflected
the report of the purchase of the former
by the latter. The. buying of Sugar, at
tributed to favorable trade reports. The
bond market was quite broad, but the
price movement was Irregular. Total sales,
par value, 81, $4,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.

houses had sales for short account. May
opened &c to asc lower at 16Sc to &c, but
this soon advanced on a good demand from
commission houses said to be acting for
st. Louis people, selling up to Use. A
little weakness in other grains caused some
selling by locals and a reaction to TIC fol-
was the main cause for the fairly firm feel
ing, which ~peTvaded the pit at the close,
at 0hW77hc. Bradstreet's report Of the
worlds visible supply was a bearish in
'huence, and claimed the worlds stock had
increased 100000 bushels last week, COM
pared with a decrease of a year ago Of
2,041 900 bushels. Clearances of whea, and

mission houses were the best buyers, and
there was no pressure to sell, the limited

poor trading. The close was strong and

ranged between 451Rc and 46Ac. Local re-
ceipts were 6O6 cars, with none of contract

Provisions opened steady In the face of
lower prices for hogs at the yards, a fair
