AN UNSTEADY STAND AGAINST

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The stock market made an unsteady stand AaRainst reaction for time today but before the closing discour- lative mind again and prices broke sharply to the lowest of the day. There were indica- tions of we'll organized bear leadership on the decline. The early resistance to reaction was sustained principally by Pennsylvania and New fork Central: No other cause was appa- rent Tor this but the publication of revived as. sertions that the control of New York Central vas virtually lodged in hands friendly to the fciai denials of varying enphasis hut never theless the price of these two stocks about A point over last night. This was after the pres day. The persistent weakness of the m London ine market Is having . strong sympathetic effect nere and the late upward reaction in consols Mss considered q reassuring factor. But this wss nn not unti the price had broken through go earlier in the day. As many British finan- possiSle mnu s o Sssea S upon .p s,, theoretical I sois, the fall below that level today was re- sarded as deeply significant. In our own money nsarket the feature of the day was a shipment of $500, 900 in gold to Buenos Ayres. Usual explanations were forthcoming as to the spe-

 lRv prf,ata CErtrn

NEW YORK, March 25.-Cotton opened "a { points higher today. Good cables led to 2 flair amount of buying. Prices were unsettled later on, on less favorable news as to the Lowell strike, and business on a small scale, The weather in tha South again good: ir: fact. there was an almost complete absence of moisture ,xcept an insignificant rainfall at Corpus Christi. The forecast, how ever. was for more rain in Louisiana and Eastern Texas and this favors the bull side. Nothing short Of perfect weather everywhere will serve to enable people to form a decided opinion as to the question of movement and the better weather must continue for period of several weeks before the bears will be con vinced that there Is not world of cotton awaiting shipment. These alternating. days of good and bad weather only Send to befog the public and give bears an opportunity for un- settling confidence. The best opinion Is that receipts will not be greatly increased by better weather. Port receipts today were estimated at l6,o00, against 900 last year The movement for the week is estimated at I3o 900. against l22, 900 last year Cables were quiet at ! point advance for near and points decline for far months

score stood five to five at the finish,
with several black eyes thrown into

Those who attended the game were
very much interested, and hope to
see more of foot ball. Washburn
put up good game for amateurs.
