lESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Behavior of New York Central Stock
 Has Disturbing Influence.

New York, March 21.--The behavior of New York Central stock late in to- days session of the stock exchange and served to enliven what was other- wise promising to be the most interest ing day and the smallest days trading of the year. New York Central up to the market and it's downward course was very slow at first. But from IA the price broke abruptly on the next transaction to 142 3-4 and after selling at 14S the price declined by 1-2 point in teryals to 142' with subsequent sales as low as Al 1-2. The amount of stock offered to cause this wide breach in the market was not large, only one block of over 1000 shares changing hands on the break The source of the selling was not ascertainable but the demon sstration of the poor absorptive power of the market on any urgent selling made a formidable impression on sen timent. The break was accounted for by reports that an issue of one nundred
 to one hundred and fifty million dollars of new stock was in contemplation to finance the vast schemes of improve ment and terminal betterments in con- templation of the company. No author itative admission of the truth of this report could be secured until after the close of the market, but the effect on
 the stock indicated that a large degree of credence was accorded to the report, The whow market was weakened in sympathy and sold off pretty generally to a level considerably below last night Previous to this episode the price move ment was little more than drifting
 match. During the early part Of the day vigorous efforts were made to ex- tend the recovery which had set in yesterday but the best efforts of the traders proved inadequate to restore
 prices fully to Saturdays closing level from which Mondays decline was started. Such strength as was shown

was confined to specialties which have been favorites in the speculation or subject to pool manipulation. The heavy tone of Reading from the start to-day was attributed to the increasing belief in a. strike in the anthracite regions indicated by the reaffirmation of the uncompromising stand by the opera tors against any of the concessions asked by the miners Teas and Pa eific was unfavorably affected by it's annual report, which disclosed the same disadvantage in the past years busi- ness which were reflected in the Mis- souri Pacific's annual statement, The rally in the cotton market to-day indi- cated some revision of opinion on the significance of the census bureau re- port on the seasons cotton ginning, The lowest prices of the day were touched in the final hour, but there were some substantial recoyeries on covering of shorts by the bears and the market closed firner.

Weak but Closed Strong.
 The big feature of the stock market yesterday was the official l-' credit ed announcement that the New York Central proposes to ask it's stockhold- CTS to authorize new stock issue of $100,OO0, 900, and for this purpose a cir cular calling a special meeting of the stockholders to be held directly after the annual meeting on April IS will be issued tomorrow. It is not proposed by the company to issue all this vast amount of stock at once. It will be is sued from time to time as the progress of the company in improving it's system demands. In wey the New York Gen. tral management is following the lead set by the Pennsylvania railroad in spending great sums of money, procur- ed through new stock issues to im- prove it's entire system. The new issue will increase the total capital stock of the New York Central company to $250,- 100000. News of the contemplated is- sue startled Wall street, affecting the stock market adversely and causing very general selling of the market.
 The bear view was that the financing of the new stock issue would mean a great strain on the money market which is not now in any too good a con- dition. New York Central stock was especially weak. It opened at 145, against 145% at Tuesdays closing, and 145% proved the top price of the day
 The bears mistake in the case, it is said, is that no immediate issue of the new stock is contemplated.
 This means that there will be no dis turbance to the market, in it's present sensitive state, from a wholesale fore ing upon it of new securities. It was merely an illustration of the prevailing pessimism in speculative circles that Wall street should have placed an un- favorable construction upon the news. The new stock will undoubtedly carry valuable rights, and 1t is quite possible that it is the forerunner of the long awaited Ideal" for the consolidation of the Vanderbilt properties into one great system.
 In this connection the absorption of Chicago and Northwestern stock, which was very noticeable while everything else was declining, might have been re- garded as quite significant. But the speculative community is in a discour- aged frame of mind.
 The market was very dull much of the time and until the New York Gen. tral news came out.
 Yesterday was one of those days when brokers could give customers little guidance in trading operations. They disliked to advise purchases for fear of a coal strike. They did not care to ad- wise short sale because if a compromise comes it might be followed by a sharp rally.
 The Gates people were quoted before the opening as saying that the market was due for substantial rally and as favoring the buying of stocks on all fair declines"
 It is probable that there is a consid- erable outstanding speculative interest, on the long side as we'll as the short, but this has been considerably reduced by the reactionary market of the last six weeks
 The talk that the National City bank had engaged $1,125,O0O more gold helped early sentiment.
