the night OF April 10 last according to
the acknowledgment of Justice Buden-

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, March 2s--Irregularity was again the most characteristic feature of the stock market today The undertone was heavy at the out, strength, but in the main. hesitating.
 There was steady selling of the most active issues. not ably the steeis and Union Pacific and board room gossip credited the more influential specula- tive element with favoring reaction. This feeling seemed to be based on the belief that the general situation, more particularly business in nercan- tile lines, does not warrant further rise at this time. There is at best only small increase in commission house business and the bulk of today's operations was again professional.
 Announcement of the resumption on April 1 of full time at the reading col lieries gave stimulus to reading and other coal shares. Latest advices dealing with the steel and iron trade were not especially encouraging. Ac- cording to the best authorities a halt in the volume of new business has set in during the past fortnight and the improvement noted in the latter part has not been maitained. Continued Continued duilness is reported in all grades of pig Iron. On the other hand 1t was asserted In trustworthy quar- ters that the demand for copper has forced that metal higher. Further in- timation of labor troubles and re- ceived from the mine workers of Ohio and the machinists of the New York. New Haven and Hartford road. while yet another wage reduction by one ot the important textile mills of Massa- chusetts served to call renewed at- tention to that phase of the industrial situation Reductions in the dividends of Pacific coast common and second preferred resulted in substantial de- clines in those issues. Union Pacific fluctuated feverishly and broke from l2s 1-2 to 125 1-4. when 1t became known that the new financing plan contemplates an issue of perhaps s50.- 100000 bonds. The street was plain ly disappointed at the news, also at the failure of developments regarding the so-called Union Pacific segregation plan" Southern Pacific, which devel- oped unusual activity and strength in and the list as whole registered de- clines There were partial recoverfes, however. but sn the final hour the market showed diminished force, with renewed attacks by the short interest. The closing was steady with prices rallying. From abroad the only note worthy feature was the weekly report of the Bank of England, whose re- serves declined to 4S.60 per cent against 51:20 per cent last week. This ex- hibit, however, was vastly better than that reported by the same institution year ago. Monetary conditions were unchanged. there being little demand. Grossearnings of forty railroads for the second week of March show a decrease of 12.44 per cent, compared with the corresponding week of last year. For the third week of this month, ten days show falling off ot 12.72 per cent.
 The bond market was irregular with government issues unchanged on call

 Selma, March 26.
 The matter of the settlement of an account In which there was involved about s350 between the Southern Ben ,Teieph one and Telegraph Company, and the Southern Railway this morning caused the business men of the city considerable inconvenience for few hours. It was feared by the business men that this inconvenience would last for weeks but later In the day the differences between the two corpora tions were adjusted.
 The inconvenience to the business houses of the city was caused by the teleph one company putting out of com mission all of the telephones In the many offices of the Southern Railway here. The telephone company con- tended that the railroad company owed 1t s350 for service while the railroad officials contended that the bills had been paid and that the vouchers had been sent to the headquarters of the road in Washington.
 During the hours that the telephones In the offices of the Southern Railway were out of commission, settlement of the differences between the two cor porations were affected In Washington and soon the manager of the telephone company here received word to put the telephones back in operation sn the offices of the railroad. The bills in the future will be settled at the headquar- tsrs In Washington and will not be set- tied by the local officials of the rail- road.

NEyy ORLEANs COTTON,

New Orleans. March 2S.-Spot cotton was steady with prices unchanged. Middling 10Mc. Sales were 2.Sb0 bales on the spot and 500 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet, unchanged to three points above the closing yesterday, after Liverpool had cabled that the market was steady af a fair advance with a satisfactory undertone and spot sales showing an in- crease.
 Good reports from spot markets at oth- CT points lent some strength to futures and there was more of a disposition to trade on the long side of the market. During the Late session the market eased off sey- erai points as q result of favorable reports from sections where the new crop Is now a factor.
 At the close. which was steady, the act i've months were one point below to four points above the close of yesterday.
