THE STOCK MARKET


 New York. March s.--N was . day of small things in the stock market and the meager business came almost en. tirely from the class of professional 9BPerator,s Gs,,s TnO make livelihood l,ns ox part of the speculative element engag- ed in watching the differences of quo tations ruling in this market and In ton operations played an Important part in the narrow market.

They unloaded their light holdings as a con While this selling was light. the de- mand was even lighter and the result was rather violent breaks in prices. The professionalism in the market was demonstrated by the extreme dullness following the selling of the traders.
 Binding no influential following for th,sb, the hasty selling they got oyer N their The selling from foreign sources was prompted by the sudden turn for the tween Austria and Servia. The foreign markets plainly showed the disturbance of sentiment caused by this news and the reflection of this

 Disappointment was felt at the re- fusal of the New York public service their permission for the issuance of Erie bonds.

The accompanying argument that opportunity would thus be given to market surplus stocks of coal and reduce interest charges in- yolved in carrying these stocks did not appeal apparently to holders of the coal stocks.
 sudden drop in the price of cop per warrants in London received more attention than did the renewed claims of further large sales of refined cop ped in New York. A good effect was produced in the latter part of the day by the announcement of the placing of the years orders for steel rails by the New York Central system. The re- covery proved unstable. however. and prices slipped back and made a weak colsi8g.
 The low price realized at yesterdays sale of New York City corporate stock compared with the sale in November had slightly chilling effect on the bond market. The tone was irregular and there was less activity than of late. Total sales par value $4,320.000 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

DEMAND IMPROVES
PRICE OF Q 3-s WAS OBTAINED YEs-
 TERDAY.
During the Last Two Dnys 1.S0O Bales Were sold-The Board of Trade Rate is
 StiIl on.

The spot demand for cotton improved yesterday. The only broker able to fill an order at anything like quotation prices had to pay at the rate of 3-8 cents middling oasis. The lot contain cd about 250 bales, was above middling and sold for 9 1-2 cents.
 This makes 1900 bales sold Tuesday and Wednesday, with the rising mar ket. In addition to the 450 bales re- ported on Tuesday, there were 500 bales sold then and reported yesterday. The mtddling basis for Tuesdays sales was A-l6 cents.
 Although the market rate has gone up a sixteenth to g 3-S, and Is difficult at that figure, the Board of Trade rate continues to be oil today by 3-16 cents.
 The reason for this excessive and unexpected releasing on Tuesday and Wednesday was due to the demand from those who had contracts to make good. There Is no new demand from the mills but many of the sellers who have contracted for March deliveries had to get a supply even though they went further than the market seemed to warrant. This does not mean that those who haG- these contracts ts fill lost, as they had the contracts well hedged with futures.

 "The semi-weekly statement shows small receipts at leading interior towns and a large loss in stock" wires a New Orleans house. Owing to con- tinued good harvesting conditions and consequently no late picking, the plant ation movements seems over. Ideas about the size of this crop must be re- vised once more as things now point lower than the popular figure of 13,- 500.000.
 The summary of Texas rainfall by months since october. 1908, was given out by the Weather Bureau as fol- lows:
 october. 1908. precipitation consid. erahly below normal: November pre- cipitation slightly deficient, but. fairly well distributed.
 December precipitation deficient in western counties; January and Febru- ary, 1909, weather unusually dry.
 Private advices from Texas indicate belief in short crop for that State the coming season Farming opera tions are much delayed owing to the dry weather"
 A resume of Tuesdays market has been sent out by a New York broker:
 Strength in local market Tuesday York, Memphis and Galveston and to the unbroken drought in Texas. which is becoming serious. While conditions are favorable to higher prices. the narrowness of the market and the pos- sibility of rain in Texas. which may occur at any time, may cause some liquidation and lower prices, but we still adhere to the bull side on all re- cessions."
 Stock at all United States ports Is nearly low as 1t was one. year ago, 76g.000 against 651,000 and is about 300, 900 less than year before last. Therefore there is no great weight of cotton on the mark ct in America where trade in textiles Is at its best and if a scare should develop over the un favorable prospects for the new crop in Texas, owing to the absence of rain in the western part of that state. some old time activity might be experienced.
 Trade reports of the continent from Hamburg broker. are not favorable. There have been a number of impor- tant failures. In Northern Italy there Is failure of spinner with liabili- ties amounting to not less than B. 500, 900 lire. There was also another failure of an old-established form of knitting yarns manufacturers in Aus tria, and several failures of weavers in Austria and Italy. There are a long series of very bad balance sheets published.
