sion took place The brokers hung
ErOUnd making all sorts of bids and
offerings in the hope of pulling off a
trade. 1t was no more fruitful i'm bust

remark that one broker expected to get
Railway common al Al and the offer of
tile buying broker IN that stock To bet
500 TO SlOO that the common stock would

Moreover. the business Of the company

much sparring as TO price. That there
is no large buying power in the market
was shown toGay when a broker offered
100 shares Of Gas at 15. and cut the Of

that he would sell it at any old price,

NEW YORK, March 30-NOOn.-AIOd-
crate recesSlOnS have been the order or
the day in New York stocks. but the
drop is not so pronounced as might
rise of the past two days. There is evil
oence this morning that the upward
swing OF the market was of a healthy
Character, and while most professional
brokers expect a reaction, very few of
them are selling short to take advan-
tage OF such a situation.
At the opening and in the first trading
this morning Amalgamated declined IS,
Smelters, Union Pacific. Pennsylvania
and other rails small fractions New
York Central opened a shade higher
and then rapidly declined over a point.
This loss was then as quickly retrieved
and il is at this hour among the
stronger issues on the board. At the
opening AtChison advanced half d point.
Those who went home after selling
a considerable stock short in the clos
ing hour yesterday were a good deal at
sea this morning. The commission
houses were chock full Of buying orders,
and the most that the shorts could do
was to feed out a few stocks by way
Of profit taking. The consequence was
that with some scattered short covering
the market for most stocks went UP
20 o'clock. From that hour a gradual
decline set in which continued TO this
hour.
The notably strong stocks are the
IractlonS, Ihe IallS ana the SmelterS-
Brooklyn Rapid Transit remains firm
nearly point higher than last night.
ST Paul is StUbbOTnlv refusing TO Join
in the fall. Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific are strong, and in spite Of the
bearish sentiment all around the room:
the tone Of the market at noon is
substantially good. OF course, il is
conceded that the market will close
lower today than yesterday but the de-
cline is so slow and regular that it
offers small hope Of shorts to take
sharp advantage of the turn

Wall Street Expects Drop Bot Hangs Fire HIGHER Lees
BEAR TALK HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON
+ STOCKS, AND PRICES HOLD
VERY FIRM.

NEW YORK, March 80 p. m.-An
attempts to this hour to break the lead
on steels have failed. Nobody seems to
know where the support comes from,
unless il be from a constant stream Of
orders from commission houses all over
the country. United States Steel pre-
ferred is pegged a full point above the
opening and above the high point of
yesterday, and refuses to decline. Com
mon has yielded a little TO the pressure,
but is very strong.
The strength OF Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit, which at this hour is PA points
above the opening, is -explicable on the
theory that since the announcement Of
the dividend the stock has been in great
demand for investment purposes, and
the floating supply of the shares has
disappeared from Wall Street The de-
ynand keeps, hence the rise in price.
The railroad shares, including Penn
sylvania, New York Central, St Paul
and the Pacifics, are just about at last
nights level. The market shows dog
ged resistance to any and all assaults
and hangs steadily at the new level es-
tabltshed in the rise of the last two
days. Bear talk continues, but there is
little or no selling of short stock, and
II looks at this time as though the mar
ket would drift on TO the close, dull and
inactive.

The next day the three Furry cubs went
about the neighborhood carrying invita-

the rejoicing among the neighbors. for
they knew that Mrs. Furry would honor
them by giving the greatest party of the
season. And many plans were made as
TO procuring fetching suits and gowns for
the occasion.
At O'Clock sharp on the evening of
the party the guests began arriving. Mrs.
Furry, Jinko. Minko and Polo were in
their very best tinery. The table was set
in the inner cave, where the Furrys dined.
The outer cave was used as a reception
