FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL
Disturbed by Controversy Between Railway Brotherhoods and Railway Managers.

New York, March 13.-Tendencies recently manifested by the stock market in the direction of higher levels were halted today by the turn of events in the controversy between the railway brotherhoods and railway managers. The reported, attitude of the labor BIl- ions was the more Surprising and dis concerting from the fact that the mn ancia1 community had been led to be- lieve of the existence of temporary working agreement between the op- posing interests.

 General news had little direct bear ing upon the market the offering of New York city bonds attracting little attention. The average of bids was regarded as only fair in view of the present ease of money.
