NEW YORK, March As was TO be
expected In view OF the tone of Jhc
market in ;he anaI dealings on Satar-
day and OF the general circumstances
under which the trading came 10 a close
then. this mornings opening dealings
were characterized by great feverish-
ness.
II was observed. however. that near
ly all OF these stocks which were under
most severe pressure on Saturday were
exceptions TO the general list this morn
ing in opening at higher prices than
they closed on Saturday This was true
OF Mahattan Railway. Southern Pacific,
Union Pacific. and ST. Paul
On the other hand declines which in
many cases were in excess OF one poirt
took place elsewhere in the market.
Notably weak features were Norfolk and
Western. Rock Island. Pennsylvania.
Texas Pacific aud Louisville and Nash
Vile. Wabash. and Southern Railway
common.
American stocks were sharply de-
pressed in the London market The
exception was Anaconda Mining. which
was firm in connection With further
sharp advance IN the metal.
Discussion of the stock market situ-
alton over Sunday was taken up chief
~ with the state OF the money market
That subject was the dominant inGu-
ence in the dealings this morning
II was generally apprehended that be-
fore there could be any decided change
for the better in the money market
situation a period OF decided stress
would have TO be traversed.
Apart from the interest taken in the
position OF the Southern Pacific pool
there was discussion or the movements
in particular stocks. Among the spe-
cialties there was a loss or per cent
in Chicago and Northwestern
After ten minutes trading those
stocks which opened weak and unsuo-
ported rallied under excellent support
and those which palpably had pool sup
port we're inclined to react The whole
market was feverish and unusually &C
tive. One of its features was the re-

held this week. the more important ones
being scheduled for Tuesday. Among
those to be held now are the special

ers, 10 consider the increase in the cap
itai stock. and the meetings Of the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
stockholders. The last two will De held
at St. Louis, and George Gould will be
present at both.
In view of the fact that all sorts Of
developments are looked for IN the
Gould properties in the immediate
future, these meetings are exciting a
great deal of interest 4 special meet
ing Of the Missouri Pacific directors
was held last Thursday, at which Ger
tain details to be presented at the an
nual meeting were considered. The
Pennsylvania meeting will be a special
one and viii be held at Philadelphia
Those who so consistently exploited
the idea that the managers Of the South
ern Pacific pool and the management Of
the property were at variance from the
start. seem TO have changed their minds.
Some light on the subject has been forth
coming today which substantiates the
statement that there was no antagonism
al the beginning between Mr.. Keene as
pool manager. and the dominant interest
in Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
affairs.
A banker who knows something Of the
situation has this TO say today: "An
this talk Of the management being either
opposed or indifferent to the pool is
sheer nonsense. When the pool was pro-
jected and when it was formed. certain
interests prominent in Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific promised Keene to
raise S100 1000. 900 or a substantial part OF
IL 20 be applied 10 betterments and i'm
provements, so that earnings could be
diverted at once 10 dividends.
The bond scheme was one OF the
plans considered for raising that money.
but it was not the only one tried The
condition OF the money market prevent
ed any OF the schemes from being put
into effect, and so. despite vigorous ef-
forts, the promise could not be car
ried out. The effect on the stock ard
the pool is ancient history. Keene be-
came disgrCntled. and there we're as
scrtions Of bad faith Present condi-
tions are result. but the management
was willing 70 help the pool"
Positive and authoritative assertions
are made that the details OF the plan
by which Rock Island acquired Frisco
will be At once forthcoming. 1t is said
that President Leeds return 10 the city
last week was primarily for the pur-
pose OF signing certain necessary pa
pers- Conferences we're held. and those
who are supposed 10 know say that all
details have been concluded. II rumor
has II true, the Hooking Valley deal IS
also perfected. and its announcement
may be looked for at any moment.

OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

There was considerable calling of loans
by banks today, in view of Saturdays bad
bank showing, with the surplus reserves
on all deposits less than 500 900. The
banks must reduce their leans very ma
terially. and this can be done only at
he expense OF general market Iiquida-

II is fortunate. however, that commits
sion houses and outsiders generally are
carrying so few stocks at present. and
that this curtailment of accommodation
by the banks will fall most heavily on
the pools and syndicates that are best
able 70 stand it.
! While the market has had a big break
from the prices Of fortnight ago. there
is little encouraging in the situation at
present, and further irregularity and fur
ther general declines are anticipated.

Call money is in active demand, with

supply Of stocks Offering in the loan
crowd by commission houses. which is
another way OF borrowing money. A man

Blows Struck in Box.

Those who were watching the box saw
MIR Hardison lean over General Otis
and speak 10 him. The general turned
his head and seemed intent upon ter
minating the interview Then there was
an apparent demand By Mr.. Hardison
that General Otis should accompany
him 20 the street
There appeared 10 be a final refusal
when Mr.. Hardison seized his antagonist
by the coat collar with his right hand
while he began striking him with his
left.
General Otis struggled vainly TO get 20
his feet TO defend himself from his an
tagonist. but Hardison held him firmly
in his chair, all the while raining blows
upon him. until the actors from the
stage and the theater attaches jumped
into the box and separated the men.
The audience. which sas largely com
posed Of women. began rushing from
the house. and for a time it looked as
though the box episode would cause a
panic Finally quiet was restored by
The efforts OF the manager.
General Otis Badly Beaten.
When Mr.. Hardison was dragged from
General Otis IL was discovered that the
latter's eye was bIackened. that he had
a cut over his cheek bone. and that his
face vas badly bruised. He was carried
to couch upon the stage. where he re-
mained until he had recovered sufficient
ly 20 be sent home. Mr.. Hardison ac-
compaDied the police officers TO head
quarters and was released upon his own
recognizance.
General Otis. who is now sixty-six
years Of age. had a brilliant record in
the civil war. He was appointed brIga-
der general OF California Volunteers by
President Mckinley and served in the
Philippines until March. 1899. returning
