Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Whether
the main cause of weakness was in
the foreign or home developments OF
the day prices on the stock exchange
went lower, and in the last half hour
Of business, the active shares gave
way rather rapidly under the influ-
ence, apparently, of an aggressive pro-
fessional attack. The declines occur
red mostly in the first hour and the
last in the middle of the day being
marked by what seemed to be uncer-
tainty and INDIGESTION. The days Eu-
ropean cables were not of a character
to help things here Berlin's stock ex-
change kept holiday, but London re-
ported continuance of the urgent for
eign demand for money, and Berlin
took 800, 900 gold from London and
s25O.Ooo here both amounts virtually
bought at a premium.
The first important monthly govern,
ment grain estimate Of the year was
| the statement of what was left OF
last years great crops on the farms
on the first of March. These reserves
were large, especially of corn-the fig
ures of which are the largest ever but
/ once reported at this time. Wheat re
/ serves were not up to the higher pre-
vious estimates of the grain trade, but
they were 34,000,000 bushels over {
wear ago, and the largest of recen'
years, except for 1911. 1910, 1907 ant
1906. Such available supplies o
grain thus late in the season, mean {
good deal for railway traffic and TO
farmers agricultural staples. TIL
Steel Corporations monthly statemen
of untitled orders on the company
books showed decrease of 10000 ton
during February. This had been ez
pected. and in the steel trade has al
parently been considered less import
ant than the effect that, in the sam
month. the specifications ran we
beyond actual production.
