COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, February 24.-The mar
ket for coffee futures opened steady
at a decline of points to an advance
of points, near months being lower
under some scattering liquidation of
March. which was attributed to the CIR
culations of notices. The notices, how
ever, was estimated at only 10000 bags,
and were evidently soon provided Tor.
At any rate, the market quickly stiff
fened up on covering Of shorts for over

The Surplus Of Idle Cars Is Also

BIG INCREASE IN SAVINGS
Brief Session of Stock Market

BIG INCREASE IN SAVINGS

NEW YORK, February 24.-Promises
held out late yesterday of improvement
in the stock market were hardly fulfilled
today. Prices of the more active issues
opened off and more or less pressure was
directed against the list as whole. This
was particularly true of Amalgamated
Copper, which has been the strongest
Of issues recently, while such market
leaders as United States Steel, Union Pa
cific and Reading also felt the force Of
the selling. Again the weakest feature
was the common and preferred shares Of
the Republic Iron and Steel Company.
The former lost two points, and the latter
almost three, making the loss of seven
points in the preferred stock during the
past fortnight. On the stock exchange
it is now settled belief that the Re-
public Iron preferred dividend, which will
probably be acted upon next week. will
be cut from to per cent and may
be more.
Trading during the brief two hours
was as pOlntleSS as could we'll be fmag-
ined. The attendance of members was the
smallest Of any week end thus far this
year. Those who sought to analyze to-
days setback directed attention to the
latest turn of events in Washington,
the so-called money power, despite recent
assurances to the contrary. Another dis
quieting feature was the recurrence of
serious labor riots in one of the Massa-
chusetts mill towns. Some thought was
given, also. to the approaching confer
ence of the anthracite workers and the
mine owners.
On the other side of the account were
the reports Of the mercantile agencies,
stating that trade conditions as a whole
are better than appear on the surface, a
further large shrinkage in the idle car
surplus, and the report of the New York
state banking department, showing that
the savings banks have larger aggregate
resources than at any previous time in
their history. the increase being no less
than $S5,OOO,OOO.
The bank statement showed an actual
loan increase of 81 6SO,OOO against an
average increase of Sc, 123, 600. Actual
cash loss was $S,367.OOO, figure we'll in
excess of all estimates. Actual reserves
decreased about $S.OOOOOO, which, to-
gether with the previous weeks smaller
loss, reduces the actual excess reserve
to a little more than SIS, OOO, 600.
The bond market was dull and with
out especial feature. Total sales par
value aggregated 81, OO2, 900.

WHEAT MARKET.

CHICAGO, February 24.-An estimate
that the wheat surplus of the four lead-
ing export countries showed a loss OF
1876, OOO, 600 bushels lifted the market to
day for brief period. but the rest of Che
time prices were weak largely on account
of Indifferent cables. Final trades ranged
from y to u under last night. Corn closed
"a to u down, oats u or to a shadenup.
and provisions a 3 to 371s decline. 10
Although the alleged remarkable cut
ting down of export possibilities Vas
stated to have revOlutionized the wheat
situation, transferring the outlook from
scarcity, the bulls who gave out the
figures did not succeed in arousing MUCH
enthusiasm. General commission house
selling and profit taking seemed to form
an insurmountable barrier. 3
The temper OF the trade had been given
a bearish turn by disappointing foreign
dispatches right at the start. notwfth-
standing a previous exhibit Of strength
on this side OF the Atlantic, Liverpool
paying more heed to pressing Argentine
mand. Besides. weather conditions We're
favorable in the United States winter
crop belt, and there was no improvement
here in respect to cash demand. -
The net result was an easy tone in. the
end, with prices almost at the bottom
point of the session. Between the open
ing and the close May f1uctuated from
