sHEEP-SneeI commanded steady prices
today, while lambs sold generally around
loo lower. While the market was not ex-
actly active. owing to the fact that SOW
eral trains were late In arriving at the
yards, which always delays the trade to a
greater or less extent. Still there was q
very fair movement and pretty much
everything in sight changed hands in very
fair season. That was especially true OF
the desirable kinds which were sought
after by packers.
The weakness shown in the lamb market
was due to the fact that a considerable
proportion OF the days receipts consisted
Of lambs. II might be further added by
OF explanation that the total receipts,
numbering fifty cars, were the largest or
any day since March 1. In fact, the
days run has been exceeded only on two
days this year. In spite Of the fact that
there were go many lambs in sight, pack
ers bought freely, cleaning up the desirable
killers In a short time. While there was
nothing as high as the $500 top yesterday.
there were nine cars of lambs good
enough to bring $50. AS sheep were not
In such large supply, they sold very readily
at good, steady prices, there being quite
q string OF old wethers good enough to
bring 1885, with we selling up to 1855.
Considering the very large run, the mar
kSt was in a most satisfactory condition.

Speculative Advance in the Marke,

PROFIT TAKING NOT PUSHED
Erie and 81. Paul Rise oI
Special News Connected with
Roads-Advance In steel
Not Explained.

NEW YORK, March S0-The speculative
ADVANCE came TO a pause in the stock mar
ket today, The profit-taking sales were
not pushed AZ the expense OF prices, but
were constantly renewed when the market
strength became sufficient to absorb the
selling.
Some influential stock was picked out
FOR a denomination OF strength with a view
To The sentimental effect on the tone OF the
market. Erie was the first choice for this
purpose. and the strong statement Of the
roads earnings for February was pointed
TO as justification for the rapid rise in that
stock, The large gain In the net earnings
for the month corroborated the claims that
the road Nas definitely safe from danger OF
a receivership, whatever the fate OF the
financial plan under its conditional APP
provsl by the Public Service commission.
The movement in Erie had the additional
advantage of conforming TO the expected
early return to Wall street of +. h. Harri.

terest In the fate of Erie. ST. Paul was the
next ~favorite Of the supporters OF the mar
ket. its rise following assertions that the
Paciftc Coast extension is practically COM
pleted and capable Of early earning power
commensurate with the outlay OF capital
which has been made in the building.
The professional followers OF the market
found themselves less able to find explana-
ton for the rise in United States Steel.
which came next in order, although the
fact that the chairman OF the directors,
together with other influential steel men,
were reported to have appeared Yesterday
before the senate committee on finance In
Washington in connection with the iron and
steel schedules Of the tariff bill, which was
pointed to as a coincidence that might eN-
plain. Other iron and steel stocks were
affected to some extent in sympathy with
the movement in the United States Steel
stocks. The price of copper was marked
up again on the Stock exchange in that
metal in New York, but the copper and
smelling stocks were heavy. The esti-
mated condition OF the winter wheat crop
coming from a private expert ave a per-
centage disappointingly low, but the reser-
Vatlons accompanying the estimate left
confidence unimpaired in the improving
condition of that crop. Stocks at the close

the support than at any other time.
