NEW YORK SUN REVIEW.

New York, March 14.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said:
The stoclAmarlIet was the prey of
conflicting Influences today and the
course of prices accordingly .lSflect-
ed neither animation nor initiative.
There was some short selling follow
ing the news of the Algonquin sink
ing, but the movement was restricted.
Short selling was further restricted
by considerations directly associated
with the railroad situation.
Thus trading was practically at a
standstill. Business in the first three
hours was scarcely heavier than in
the first hour of yesterday. Idle fluc-
tuations were the rule throughout the
forenoon session but by midday net
changes were slight. Specialties like
United States Industrial Alcohol, In
ternational paper and others were
strong. The shipping shares were in
fair demand at advancing prices. The
railroad list was heavy and neglect
ed.
The general list was disposed to re-
cede slightly in the late trading but
the movement was so gradual as to
be quite void of Significance. The
commodity market was unsettled

placed a small photograph, wrapped In

of white cardboard to fit into the box.
Upon this piece of cardboard he labori-
ously wrote, copying from tortured,
