Prices Drift sIusgishly and Rather
 AimIessly.

New York, March 2-To-day's stock market was dull affair, and prices drifted sluggishly and rather aimlessly. There was not much pressure of liqui- dation and some show of strength dur ing the early part of the day. But the market failed to rebound to the extent usual after such a drive on prices as that of the m.1dle portion of the week. Disappointment over the action of the market caused some discouragement among speculative holders and induced spilling out of stocks from time to time. The gains of the morning were mostly among the stocks of lesser im- portance and their effect upon senti- ment was consequently lessened It seemed evident that no large demand existed for securities, as yet, at the rul- ing of prices.
 Developments in the money market were rather in favor of stocks, and the tone of the call money market was ap- preciably easier, in spite of the extra demand incident to Fridays operations, which carry over until Monday under the rules of the stock exchange. Yes terday's high rate of ' per cent. was not touched, and loans were made be- low 6 per cent. very soon after the bor- rowing for the day began.
 special cause for the weeks drain on bank reserves was pointed out in the expiration, on February 24, of the three year interval since the rechartering of some two hundred and fifty national banks, which placed upon those banks the obligation to deposit lawful money with the treasury covering the amount of notes under their old charters which had not yet come in for redemption. The amount thus deposited with the treasury for the month of February was $7,148000, almost all of which was paid in the last week of February and almost entirely by the New York banks on account of their interior correspond ents. That this operation was an im- portant influence on the New York money market is easily seen. The de- mand for credits however, is not con- fined to the call loan market, and loans for periods up to ninety days were made to-day again at from 51s to per cent,
 Pennsylvania and Rock Island joined the list of extraordinary increases in net earnings for January over those for the corresponding month of last year, Pennsylvania's expansion reaching $1,- 4SS,8OO and Rock Islands $55O 64S. The market wavered uncertainty up to the close, which was fairly steady, how ever, and at considerable recoverits, Union Pacific rising to the best of the day, with sympathetic effect on the market, Amalgamated Copper was the subject of conspicuous pressure.
