New York, March 2O-Two porters, with pails of water, cloths, and lad ders, went to work upon the windows and doors of the oriental Bank to-day. and in short time removed from them every trace of the many notices that had covered them since the day on which the bank closed it's doors.

New York, March 2O-The only motive power in the stock market to- day seemed to be the shifting opera tions of the professional traders. This element acted without any show of fixed conviction, changing position many times throughout the day. The wavering uncertain movement of prices was accounted for by this nut able mood on the part of traders. Fluctuations were limited and the professionals seemed unwilling to ven ture their operations beyond these limits. The speculative tone was one of uncertainty and instability. until the brisk advance of the final hour.

Large attention was given to the state of the iron and steel trade, owing to the publication of the pamphlet report of the United States Steel corpora ton for the last year and also to the outcome of the conferences yesterday among steel men over the policy of maintaining prices. The contents of the annual report, for the most part, presented conditions of d past date, which are no longer of influence in speculative sense. Of different sort was the observation with which the report closed that the bookings for January were 25 per cent larger than December and for February 20 per cent larger than for January. As this report goes to press the bookings per day are at least 25 per cent larger than those of February. The man cement expresses hopeful views of the future"
 The favorable impression of the iron and steel trade derived from the report was supplemented by good re- ports from the copper trade.
