MARKET SLUGGISH
IHRU0UI The DAY
INDIFFERENCE OBTAINS IN THE
FINANCIAL CENTER
Lifeless Character Of Opening Supplies
Pretext to Bears Who Offer Favor
ties Freely Stocks of Grain-C Carry
Ing Roads Show Stability 500 Pre-
ferred Moves Up Four Points.

New York, March S.-Opening prices in the
stock market today showed narrower changes
than for some time, and the market displayed
a, good deal OF the sluggishness that was in
evidence yesterday. When prices were not ac-
tually unchanged they did not vary much more
than Is above Or below yesterdays closing.
The indifference in the movement OF prices
manifested at the opening supplied a pretext
to the bears for selling the list, and they
offered Reading, Amalgamated Copper and Unit
ed States Steel preferred freely.
Gra1n-carry1ng railroad stocks showed more
stability, and rise of q point in ,Atchison and
a demand for Union Pacific was instrumental
in turning the market upwards at 1880.
Early declines reached ~ in Reading and
General Electric and l in United States Steel
preferred, Amalgamated Copper and Northern
Pacific. These losses were only partially recov-
cred before the market weakened again when
Reading sold down to 1854. Colorado Fuel
moved up points and Minneapolis, st. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie preferred 4. :;
Reading was forced points below last night,
but buying orders came in at the lower level
and prices rallied. Union Pacific was conspicu-
gained as much and Consolidated Gas IA, while
St. Louis Southwestern lost B and Kansas City
Southern preferred 1A. Bonds were irregular
at noon. .- - .s..'. -I''. '- a-H
A rise of 15s in Louisville & Nashville, fol-
lowed by a reaction of point dn Reading, COM
pleted the only prominent fluctuations between
IL and l o'clock. In neither case did the gen
eral market show any sympathy. Pacific Coast
Western railroad stocks led by the Hill group
were in better demand, their rise strengthening
Reading and various speciaties which had been
wayering. Reading rallied 114 from the lowest
and Amalgamated Copper and United States
| Steel preferred which had lost point early,
| made full recoveries. Delaware & Hudson and
Central Railroad of New Jersey improved l.
Consolidated Gas 2A, Northern Pacific 2a4 and
Great Northern preferred AZ. ..-. &c.,.
The break in foreign exchanges gave rise tc
discussion of possible gold imports, and the
market turned strong. The weakness in wheat
gave special strength to the grangers. Atchisol
