THE STOCK MARKET
 SEEMS HOLLOW Early Upward Move More Than Lost Later in
 the Day

New York, March 29.-The rather hol- low and professional character of the stock market was again strikingly illus trated today when prices made another upward move in the early trading, only to lose all and more in the latter part of the day Noteworthy exceptions to this outcome were the Canadian group, which were active and strong under the leader ship of Canadian Pacific, that stock going to a new high record on fairly ex- tensive buying, much, of which was credited to London and Montreal inter- ssts.
 In the active group, such as United States Steel, Union Pacific and Reading, the day was characterized by buying and selling, the bears making a series of drives in the final hour which resulted In material losses in these and other prominent stocks. The decline was at tended by rumors connected with next weeks reassembling of Congress and the United States supreme court.
 News of the day was without very di rect bearing upon the market situation. American securities opened steady in London, but closed much lover on profit taking. That center sold here to the ex- tent of perhaps 20000 shares, as against its large purchases of the previous day. Continental markets were steady with considerable degree of activity in Berlin
 In connection with the foreign situ- ation there was a sharp decline in for eign exchange demand and cable, falling 20 to 25 points, respectively.
 Local banks made fairly large ship ments of currency to interior correspon- dents, presumably in connection with April 1 interest aud dividend require ments, but the tone of the money market was practically unchanged. Additional shipments of gold to Canada today brought the total up to $S00,O00 thus far this week, but the movement is not like ly to assume large proportions or be or more than brief duration Reports that over-year money was offered at SA per cent on especially high grade collateral were not confirmed, but a further shad- ing of the rate for this maturity would occasion no surprise. s,
 Business in the steel and iron industry during the past week was undenably dis appointing, especially for rails, in which particular product it was thought that some very large orders were pending. Some improvement was reported in the demand for structural steel and bars. Trade in general shows no change from the adverse advices received last week.
 Among the railway reports received to- day for February, Canadian Pacific showed an increase of $393,000 in gross and a decrease of $342, 600 in net, but total net from July last to February 2S still shows an increase of more than s1.500,000. The lines of the Rock Island system re- ported a decrease of $S7,000 on operating expenses and a net increase of $77000 in revenue
 The bond market was irregular with trading in the convertible issues of Union Pacific Norfolk and Western and Atch- son again feature. United States gov ernment bonds were unchanged. Total tales, par value, aggregated g., 2,991, ,oo0
