NEW YORK STOCKSAND BONDS
Contest Between Professional Factions
is Feature of Market.
STEEL SITUATION Is MIXED
Report That Orders Are Coming In
offset by Reduction in Wages
Close is Heavy, with Iigh
Advances Held.

NEW YORK, March A contest for ad-
vantage between the professional factions
In the speculation made up the stock mar
ket almost altogether today. Another ad-
vance in the price of refined copper botn
in London and at the New York Metal ex-
change was regarded as confirmatory OF
reports OF an improved demand The eN-
tent OF that demand was subject OF dispute
and the prioF movement was looked upon
with some expressed suspicion Of manipula-
ton. The belief is strong that when the
decline in the metals has reached its limits
there will be a large waiting demand de-
veloped which will lead to early trade re-
vivaL The lack Of faith in the effectiveness
OF the recovery in copper was indicated by
the lsnguid movement of the opp in
dustrisls in connection with the news. Re
ports from the steel trade also indicated
that the cut in prices had brought out
some orders. but the amount was declared
to be small.
The effect on sentiment was offset by the
announcement OF the posting of wage re-
auctions in the Lsckawanna Steel works at
Buffalo. the news having a somewhat
Ominous influence. The wage question re-
ceived additional consideration by reason
Of the statement published in behalf OF the
anthracite operators. The special weakness
Of Erie was due to the application TO the
Public Service commission for modification
of the terms permitted for the proposed
bond issue. The Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific's net earning statements for
January we're utilized to push the rally,
but the movement was totally without

ings Of Union Pacific and the actual de-
crease for Southern Pacific offer question
able ground OF satisfaction, in view OF the
severe depression Of earnings last year,
with which the comparison is made. Reduc-
ton In operating cost, also, was more mod
crate than for some recent months. Except
in a few southern railroads, the roads thus
far reporting show an increase in the eX-
pense item, compared with January Of last
year, with corresponding modification OF
the increase in net earnings. This increase
in expenses In several cases was SO con
siderable as to overweight the gross increase
and make the net return less than even the
meager return Of January last year. Can
adian Pacific, Chicago & Northw estern and
Missouri. Kansas & Texas were cases IL
point. Strength in individual minor stocks
was a sustaining influence in the latter
market. Hopeful expectations OF the in.
coming administration were also professed
by the professional buyers of stocks. The
dizziness approached stagnation at times
during the day, but later advances were
held.
Bonds were steady. Total sales. pa

SHEEP-Receipts of sheep this morning
were very much smaller than yesterday,
but stu there was q fair run, making the
total for the two days larger than usual.
The general quality OF the fresh receipts
was pretty good, there being quite a num-
Der OF loads OF light desirable killers. In
addition to the fresh receipts there were a
few loads besides a sprink1fnR OF odds and
ends carried over from yesterday.
There wae q fair demand and the desir-
able kinds, both sheep and lambs, sold quite
freely at steady prices. While the market
d1d not at any time have an active ap-
p~earance, stIl the kinds that packers
wanted sold very freely. Mexican lambs
sold up as high as S7.B. with yearlings
up to B& and ewes at 1910. As regards
prices, II might be said that there was
comparatively little change so far as good
kinds were concerned. quotations on such
generally being steady. As might be ex-
pected in case Of liberal receipts OF yester-
day and today, common and Inferior kinds
we're a little slow and the feeling on such
rather weak.

CATTLE-Receipts o: cattle this morning
were very liberal. 1876 cars being reported
in. Among the offerings were a number
OF pretty good killers, but there was also
a good many cattle that showed a lack of
feed.
Packers all seemed to be anxious for sup
plies OF beef steers and the market on the
desirable grades was active and at an ad-
vance OF loo over yesterday. Holders OF
cattle that found favor In buyers eyes had
no trouble in unloading and an early clear
ance was effected. Inferior grades did not
move off quite so freely, but they, too, sold
10 fairly good advantage.
What has been said regarding the market
on beef steers would apply equally we'll to
the market on COWS and heifers- Cattle of
that description were free sellers through
out and the offerings were disposed of at
an early hour.
No great change took place in the stocker
and feeder market. The demand for cattle
OF that description Is none too brisk any
where, the country buying rather spar
ingly. Still the market was not bad con-
sidering general conditions prevailing In
other branches OF the trade.

CHICAGO, March Crop damage reports
and heavy sales OF the cash grain caused a
e advance In wheat prices here today, the
July delivery incidentally touching a new
high record mark Tor the season at 3.06.
The market closed strong at net gains for
the day OF nc 10 li4c. Corn, pats and pro-
visions also closed strong.
The bulge in wheat followed a weak
opening and was the occasion OF marked
activity In the wheat pit. Trade in the
July delivery was especialiy heavy, owing
to a statement here among shorts. who
bought freely during the last half of the
session, as a result of reports from Texas
and southern Illinois telling of injury to
the fall-sown crop. Absence OF rain dur
ing the winter months was said to have
caused considerable deterioration in the
condition of the wheat crop in Texas. A
revived demand for the cash grain helped
the May delivery. Local sales for the day
aggregated l23,00 bu., the great bulk OF
which was red winter wheat. The market
opened rather weak, with prices unchanged
to &C lower. Before the end of the first
half hour however. prices had advanced
about 1ac from the low point, on buying
from commission houses. For a time trad
ing was dun and prices held fairly steady.
