Foreign Markets Stronger
in Americans.
DISCOUNT RATE IS REDUCED
Bank of England Cuts Minimum
Rate to Per Cent-Trading on
Than 100000 Shares Optimism
Pervades Financiers.
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, March 9.-Standard securi-
ties had a swing in tO-day's market of
less than a point. Some spec:alties and
Missouri Pacific were somewhat more ac-
tive on a declining scale. The market
as a whole did not move enough to be
noticeable. The brokers tried in vain to
induce customers to do something but
the market deadIocked throughout the
session.
What little selling there was centered
about Missouri Pacific and American
Agricultural Chemical. There is a gen
eral feeling that the only reason Mis-
souri, Pacific does not decline IS that
the new controlling interests will be
compelled to sell d great many bonds
for improvements and a better market
can be secured for them by keeping the
stock firm. 1t will take several years
to turn the Missouri Pacific into a
standard railroad The volume of bonds
that must be issued in the meantime
will be such as to make it doubtful
whether this is the proper time TO buy
the stock. The banking interests that
they need, and no reason exists Tor any
contest In the market
Selling of American Agricultural Chem
zeal was due to the failure Of the board
TO declare a dividend on the common
stock An official promise was made of
a dividend on the common stock on
condition that the potash dispute with
Germany was settled. and that matter
being still in abeyanCe the dividend. Of
course, is withheld. 1t is understood
that the State Department at Washing
ton is busy with the problem. and the
whole controversy should be adjusted
before the next dividend meeting Of the
chemical company
Foreign Markets Stronger.
Foreign markets were stronger to-day,
and especially in the American depart
ment. The Bank Of England reduced
its minimum discount rate to per cent.
and traders got over their fright of a
possible war between the United States
and Mexico. London takes the Mexican
affair more seriously than do Americans,
because it is reported. in London that
Mexico plans to cede the Maria Magda-
lena Island to Japan as a CoaIng sta
ti"n. Such a thing, Of course. would not
bc permitted by the United States, as /
would be a virtual abandonment Of the
Monroe doctrine.
Trading on the New York Stock TX,
Change amounted to less than 10000
shares for the entire session. Many Of
the prominent brokers took no part in
the market at all, and pinOChle was more
popular with the big traders than the
stock market This deadlock in the mar
kct IL unprecedented. for the country IS
crtor!ns upon year of big business
The greatest acreage of all crops ever
known is being planted. and farmers
now have on hand fully 2C0O0OOO0 bushels
NOR" Of grain than they ever had before.
Everybody in the financial world who
amounts to anything is buIlish. or at
least optimistic. Only the little people
are despOndent. The most aggressive
CptimistS are those who have lust re-
turned from trips TO various parts of
the country. Wall street is on a side
track just now. The main line is busy.
