LITTLE INTEREST IN STOCK MARKET. Trading LiStlesS and the Move

 unlmportant.
MONEY MARKET SAM

New York, March 24.-There was very slight interest shown in today's stock market. Trading was listless, and the movement very narrow with no well de- fined tendency. Reading irregular fiuc- tuations over a range of about a point below last night were followed to a less extent by the general list. The market lacked the stimulating Influence which came from Readings strong advance yes- terday, and was inclined to sag. Last prices of the week in the majority of active stocks are not materially altered from those of last Saturday, although there has been considerable fluctuations during the week. The evident disposition to return to fixed level is thus demon strated, confirming the conclusion as to the almost exclusively professional na- ture of the operations; the bank state ment showing no changes sufficient to alter the uncertain feeling over the money outlook The slight recuperation in the banking position offers small margin for the requirements of the April first settle ment
 There was nothing in the days occur rences to indicate any change in the money and exchange situation.
 The stock market closed intensely dull and irregular in tone. Total sale of bonds par value s1o75,OOO.

Of buoyancy which the American rings have assumed and the net gain for the day amounted 10 four points over the close of yesterday. Spot sales were eight thousand bales at an advance of i've points.
 The most important logical reason for the strength of today's market is un- doubtedy to be found in the marked im- nrovement of the statistical position Of cotton Manipulation, however, Is still playing q prominent part, and since out side speculation is more or less spasmod- ic. it Is probable that any further ad- vance will more likely gain it's iuspira- ton from this latter condition. as the report of news of favorable character from the progress being made on the new crop, would in all likelihood offset any influence that might be occasioned by a marked improvement In the statis- teal situation.
 Even though sentiment should show further indications of adhering to the bull side, it Is hardly probable that there has been formulated any well or ganized plan to push prices materially upward. and with a due consideration of these facts The best policy seems for the present to use the long side for scalping operations and to be satisfied with reasonable profits.

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Evidences Of the manipulation in the cotton market were again forthcoming and with Liverpool 1 points higher, prices opening or 10 points and moved on. until July sold at 1117 or points over the high figures of yesterday.
 From the opening, operators supposed to be In communication with market lead CTS were buyers and on any advance, cotton was fed out as rapidly as the market would absorb il. the same brokers standing ready to pick up the. cotton on any decline.
 The weekly visible supply figures show ed substantial reduction in the Amer lean total and this evidently had an ef- feet on sentiment in many speculative circles.
 Weather predictions were not altogether favorable and this added to the nervous ness of the shorts.
 The market was in no sense a generally participated in affair as the outside pub lie realizing the factors that work are inclined to take profits on every advance, rather than add to their lines and run the risk of finding themselves with holdings later on, when the present manipulators are endeavoring to get out of their cotton and terminate the movement.

Abercrombie 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

Week end developments are of more legitimate character than were influences brought forward one week ago, except, perhaps the unusual late cold wave and torrential rains. which delayed farm work to some extent and according to re- ports, necessitated the replanting of early cotton in extreme southwest Texas. The publishing of last Tuesdays final census report on the quantity of cotton ginned from the growth of 1905. which showed 10.697 01S bales, was somewhat larger than generally expected and as result the half cent advance of last week was lost May declining to 10.57. A new Richmond appeared in the field, however, who vol unteered to lead a bull movement. bas- Ing such action on large consumption and the limited supply in the south and the way the market was forcibly advanced by extensive buying of futures in all markets, led to rumors that the May op- ton was to be squeezed. This campaign Is still on. but there Is little fear of any thing in the way of successful manipula- ton owing to large stocks at the specula- tive centers. The strong statistical posi- theless, and as the movement of cotton theless and the mocement of cotton to market in all producing countries is on a diminishing scale when compared with one year ago. there remains a prob ability of the market being sustained per haps advanced some further if spot hold CTS demand higher prices.
