NEW YORK, March 2l.--,rhe behavior
OF; New York Central stock late In to-
days session OF the Stock Exchange had
disturbing effect on sentiment, and
served to senliven what otherwise prom
Used to be the most unlntcrcsting day and
the smallest days trading OF the year.
New York Central, up to the early after
noon. was as sluggish and dull ms any
stock In the market, and IT'S downward
course was very slow at first But from
IN, the price broke abruptly on the next
transactions to 142at, and after selling at
143 the price declined by half point In
tervafs to 142. with subsequent sales as
low az 14i1z The break was accounted
for by reports that an issue OF one hun
bred to one hundred and fifty million
dollars OF new stock was In contempla-
tion TO finance the vast schemes OF Inn
provement and terminal bettermcnts In
contemplation of the company. No au-
thoritative 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 large degree
of crcdence was accorded to the report.
The whole market was weakened In sym
pathy, and sold off pretty generally to n
level considerably below last night. Pre-
vlous TO this episode. the price movement
was little more than a drifting match.
The heavy tone OF Reading from the start
to-day was attributed to the Increasing
belief In strike In the anthracite re-
gions. Texas and Pacific was unfavor-
ably affected by Its annual report. which
disclosed the same disadvantage In the
past ycar's business which were reflected
in the Missouri Pacific annual statement.
Tho rally In the cotton market to-day In
dicated some revision OF opinion on the
Significance OF the census bureau report
on the seasons cotton ginning. The low
est prices of the day were touched In tho
final hour, but there were some substan-
tial rccoycries on covering OF shorts
by the bears, !. and the market closed

been some buyers from the east ready
to do business and they bought a string
of pretty good feeders at s4.2b@ 400,
which traders thought were ABOUT
steady with prices of the previous day.
Local men are surprised at the apathy
shown by country buyers. There Is
reliable outlet for the good to choice
selected feeders at pretty good rates,
but the common and medium are rather
hard to sell. Buyers want class OF
cattle that have weight and quality as
they believe it is cheaper to buy the
weight now than to put it on with nigh
priced corn. This is why the common
light stuff is hard to sell, although it
is relatively cheap. Choice feeders are
selling at $4.5om4.75, medium at $40
4 40, and the stockers class from 500
8 rs, according to weight and quality.
