STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, March 3.-Trading to- day has been In moderate volume and the market somewhat irregular and in places reactionary, though with few inn portant changes. The receivership for Virginia Carolina Chemical and South ern Cotton Oil, while forecasted, was not a favorable incident
 The copper stocks, however, have been somewhat better, based on im- provement in, the price of the metal. Nothing of special importance from Washington, but the House begins to- day consideration of the soldiers bonus bill. This disbursement by the treas- ury on this account would be fatal to any tax reduction. The general market holds well enough, but Is cautious un- der prevailing conditions-Sales SO1 ,O0O -Post 6 Flagg to shannon & Go. NEW YORK, March 3.-A number of the active stocks started off well enough, but the short element supplied such demand as there was and de- pressed values from the opening prices as much as l to 2 points. Later in the day the better prices established again although there was little public par ticipation. Cast Iron Pipe, which has way of acting independently to the rest Of the list, was an exception, work ing upward for a gain of more than IA points from last weeks low. American Woolen, in which there is al arge short interest, was taken in hand by it's sponsors and advanced impressively Copper stocks held firm in response to better demand for the metal at 14 to 14h cents. Virginia Chemical broke to new low upon the announcement of receivership. Rubber and tire stocks are still sensitive to last years poor reports and displayed further weak. ness. Traction issues were strong Mack Truck was strong in the early dealings on rumors of an increase ir the dividend tomorrow Northwestern rails were again under pressure with Northern Pacific selling at new low at 4S. As to Washington news there was more nervousness in evidence owe, the soldier bonus than the oil investi gation, as the latter is coming to be re garded as thoroughly political and 1. losing its influence as a stock marke factor. Final prices in most cases vert below Saturdays closing, and the aver age loss for the day on 40 stocks wil equal about 60 cents, which brings then down again to about last weeks lows.- Fenner & 'Beane to Kahn 6, Virgin.
