NEW YORK, March 1.-THE money
outlook was the dominant influence IN
the stock market today, and the days
price movements were downward on
the average. The industrial stocks
and specialties were quite sharply df-
vergent from the railroad list, and FUR
nished a large record of advances.
This class of securities is largely de-
pendent on factors of individual erect
being less responsive to general de-
velopments than the railroad list. The
Individual influences today were not
known in all cases
1t was inferred from the movement
of the Metropolitan stocks that hopes
were entertained of a share in the in
terests of future subway work. A
common property interest might be
traced in some of the other stocks
which advanced, and it was assumed
that pools were at work in them. The
copper stocks and the railroad equip
ment stocks had some share In the
show of strength.
On the other hand, the heaviness in
the railroad list was quite general, al
though the movement during the day
was hesitating and irregular. Prices
touched considerably lower level,
however, than yesterday.
1t was supposed that pools and spec
ulative SyndicateS were unloading TO
a considerable extent, and there was
no doubt that the money outlook was
the principal motive for this action.
This was a sentimental influence, to
some extent, as there was very little
withdrawal of credits by calling loans,
according to the reports of money
brokers. There was, however, quite q
large paying off of loans on call, which
was followed by the precautionary liq-
uidation of stocks. 1t was said that a
considerable part of the call loans paid
off were liquidated with the proceeds
of new loans of time.
Operators in stocks hitherto have re-
Trained very persistently from taking
out time loans, even at the invitingly
low level of rates, being satisfied to
rely on day-to-day accommodations.
A feature of the day was the re-
newal of the demand for gold from
France. which made itself felt in Lon
don This gave rise to renewed con-
lectures regarding a Russian loan, and
was the cause of some uneasinesS over
some possible disturbances in France.
This contributed to the weakness of
the later stock market. During the
same period call loans fell to per
cent.
The market closed weak at about
the lowest.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par
value, $3,695,000
United States bonds were all un-
changed on call.
