secured without an advance in the rates.
The stock never escaped some disturb
ance when this process is going on. The
subscriptions for the Japanese loan were
the direct cause of the f',mness of call
money, but preparations we're also going
on for the April l settlements and the
placing of the Pennsylvania bond issue
looms beyond.
Confidence is professed THAI the harder
tone of the money market will be short
lived, and that the loan operations, when
concluded, will permit the quick return
of their proceeds to the money market.
1t is on this conviction that current oper-
atoms in stocks are rather of waiting
character than a reflection of any posi-
tive opinion on the outlook. The selling
pressure was light, but there is no dis
position to buy on a large scale. weak
bank statement on Saturday is taken for
granted. Although some of the interior
exchanges on New York have risen to a
premium, this is believed to be due to re-
mittances to participate in the Japanese
loan subscriptions. Interior banks, how
ever, are drawing freely on their New
York correspondents for payment of in
ternal revenue collections, which adds
materially. to the sub-treasury require
ments at this center Returns of Febru-
airy net earnings of railroads as they come
to hand are not encouraging to demand
for stocks, although the poor earning
conditions are shown to be corrected by
later returns of gross earnings. The mar
ket got no help from foreign influences,
the weakness of Russians being aggra-
waited at Paris by the German attitude
in Morocco.
A revival of iron merger talk alarmed
the shorts in those stocks, and had some
sympathetic effect on the general mar
ket. The greater tranquility than was
expected on the call money market also
contributed to the late firmness. The
wide movements In a few low-grade Sc
curities were due to individual causes.
The increase in the Lacka wanna dividend
rate has been so long and so often ex-
pected that its announcement caused lit
tie impression, The market closed irregu-
lar after its substantial recovery.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, 1895, 600
United States bonds were all unchanged
on call.

DRIFTING MATCH

Quick Return.
CALL MONEY WAS FIRM

New York. March sO.-Today's stock
ing match, and the movement was not
conclusive or convincing at any time. The
volume of transactions shrank to the low
est in many weeks. Very large Importance
was attached in the discussion about the
stock exchange to the threatened stock
transfer tax as the factor making most
for this sudden collapse in activity. The
decision to make this tax bill a party
measure was accepted as offering an eX-
IRENE probability of its enactment into
law. While the amount of the proposed
tax is not regarded as extremely burden
some in the actual transfer of stock hold
ings from one owner to another. it is
generally agreed that it would form a Sc
rious restraint on manipulative opera
tons and on the so-called scalping opera
tions on the floor of the stock exchange
on which the professional traders largely
rely for their livelihood.
The manipulative measures usual in a
very active speculation are not confined
to room trading operations, but are rehed
on also to further the hotation of new
capital issues when they first make their
appearance With a large volume of such
issues in prospect there Is fear that the
marketing of them may be handicapped
by any restraint of the freedom of opera
tiohs in the market. This was ground for
suspicion that if other conditions were not
operative, this factor might not have
been so effective in the decline of activity,
the discussion being result rather of the
ideness of the market than its cause.
There was calling of loans during the
day which necessitated a shifting of ac-
ronmodations even where renewals were
