THE STOCK MARKET

New York. March 24.--In the ab- sence of positive developments affect ing property values in the news, ope- on deductions from the negative side. The operations were almost wholly in the hands of the smaller professional class and were significant therefore of class. The fact that the violen' break in the traction shares had not esulted in bringing on the market any great as indicative of the good resisting pow: CT of the market. With this proof that prices were not ready to go down, the room traders took the alternative eigners also had hand in causing the early heaviness. sales for London amounting to several thousand shares. iiticai eMa in the Bs,Ssns e was @ pe ported from various financial centers abroad.

It is the belle fin the continued unset ting influence of thls. together with various other questions which is keep ing the activity at low stage. The anthracite labor question was viewed today in rather a cheerful frame Of mind and assertions were current that a way had been found for a settlement that would appear in the course Of the day. Something was made also in the rumors of large sales of refined copper yesterday. Efforts. to substantiate these rumors in any authorative quart CTS met with failure although come moderate increase in demand for cop per In the last few days was claimed The price of the metal was marked down again in London today.i The re- ported return of a capitalist lately ao.. tive in the marketing of number of effect on a few stocks as his rumored illness yesterday was supposed to en- danger some of the projects which ne Is credited with intending.

New fork, March 24.-The cotton market was quiet today with fuctua- tions narrow and the tone generally steady. The. close was very steady at a net advance of to { points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 to points in response to Liverpool buying and & continuation of yesterdays late covering movement. but after showing a net advance of 3 to points. eased off to about the final figures of yesterday, under local bear pressure and liquidation promoted by lower cables than expected, unfavor- able advices from Manchester, reports 0f rain in Texas. and talk of freer spot offerings There seemed to be consid- erable support on the decline. and with offerings light, the market held steady during the afternoon. while in the last hour a renewal of demand from Liv- erpool houses imparted a firmer tone to the market. the close being at just about the best prices of the day. The Liverpool buying is still attributed to undoing of straddles between the two markets. Southern spot markets of. hcialiy reported were generally un- changed, and. according to private wires. sales were rather larger, al- though 1t is said that no important spot short interest is being uncovered Tor March shipment.

COTTON GOSSIP.

Heavy liquidation has taken place in this market in the last few days which has put 1t in stronger posi- tion. but aggressive. bull support Is still lacking so that there may be some further temporary decline.
 Liverpool cables: Prominent Man chester firms buying cloth largely but quietly" War news bobbed up again and affect the French market somewhat.
 Some depression in our market was expected yesterday morning, instead of which 1t opened higher on substantial buying of July by parties who promi- nently absorbed this position during the last slump and remained quite steady throughout the morning.
 The weather map showed good scat tered showers in Oklahoma, and Ar kansas, general showers in Texas. but except at a point in Northern Central Texas, which received around half an inch.
 The Atlanta Constitution in referring to Alabama said the acreage in cot ton would be about the same as last year, a possible reduction of ten per cent. by farmers being offset by de- velopment of farming industry. It also
 
 bring about an increased yield per acre. Sales of commercial fertilizers were $6,000 ahead of last year. The New Orleans Picayune was quoted as saying 1t is absurd to expect a reduced acreage through any voluntary move ment on the part of the farmers.
 A sale of 10000 pieces 27 inch goods was reported at three cents, decline of 3-16 from the high point of the season.

A portion of ern. eastern central Texas is in fine shape with the fields clean and tidy and all the growth around the edges of fields have been carefully burned off to be rid of the weevils.
 Alabama Is late owing to heavy rains. The acreage will be very large"
