Aggregate Sales Are The Fewest Of the
year Thus Far and the Market De-
clines to Go Either Up or Down APP
preciabIy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The feeble
wavering of prices IN todays stock
market represented nothing more than
the fatuous attempts of few small
room traders to find a movable spot in
the market for either an upward or
downward course. The range of the
days extreme movement was an av-
erage of considerably less than a point,
and the extreme from Saturdays level
was not more than a small fraction.
The aggregate sales for the day fell
to III, 900 shares There was a days
record OF less than 100 600 shares in
August Of last year. The lowest for
the current year until today was
touched on Feb. ID, when 1890 shares
were sold.
Those who make a profession Of
stock exchange dealings look forward
with apprehension to the Normal period
of greatest du1fness in midsummer,
with this unpromising outlook. The
market proves equally rigid against
attempts to move it in either direction.
The opening movement was inclined

to be In a condition of nervous appre-
hension over the preIiminaries of the
settlement. In this market the Fries
were slightly heavier than the average,
which was accounted for by the ex-
trenely unfaveratle showing of net
earnings for January, with a fall of
nearly $1,000,000 in operating ex-
penses and a decrease in gross earn
ings.

The dread of a Northern Securities
decision was plainly an influence on
the market, but the poStponement with

the animation in the trading. Prices

The belief is thus engendered that
