STOCKS IRREGULAR CONDITIONS MIXED AND THE MOV 10. iIIKXT OF PRICKS VERY MUCH ("MfIHIIU RESULTS WERE FAVORABLE The Flurry In the Kate or Call Money In the l.ud- Afternoon W.-i.s it l'a\oi-l nt; l^actor for the llcurn, but the Actual Kffeot Wan Very Sin nil—The Bund Market Ruled Ilnther Dull. Prey. Close. Day. Call money, New York 2%@4 2% Bar silver, New York 50% 59% NEW rOBK, March 6.-Conditions were mixed and the movement of prices was very much contused on the stock ex change today. Sentiment is correspond ingly conflicting among the speculative contingent. The situation may be best described as one of waiting on the part of believers in higher prices. Those hav ing faith In a^, decline took advantage of the hesitation of the bulls and the en tire lack of outside interest in the stock market to make vigorous attacks at vul nerable spots in the markets. The results on the ,whole were favorable to the mar ket, '^..ey were very diligent in shaking out stocks which were unprotected by supporting orders and in offering them down below price level where selling orders were known to be placed in the stocks for the purpose of saving losses from any sudden decline. The sudden fall in prices of the stocks thus selected and equally sudden equivalent rallies gave the key to the character of this selling. The Hurry in the rate for call money in the late afternoon to 4 per cent was a favoring factor for the bears, but the actual effect was very small. The eaxly tendency to advance in the railroad list was checked by the maneuvers of tnt> bears and the more notable advances were about wiped out. The railroad l.st yielded unwillingly and only to a slight degree, in spite of the very light demand, and a fair sprinkling of gains was re tained at the close. Very earnest efforts were made to weaken Sugar, but the ut most that could be achieved was a three point decline, offerings of stock being comparatively light. Third Avenue was strong, rising an ex treme b\ 2 and imparting sympathetic strength to the other local traction stocks. The most notable examples of the bear tactics were furnished by the Internaticnal Paper stocks, the common falling -I 5,* and rallying 2'i, and the pre ferred TVs and rallying 4; Pressed Steel Car, which dropped fi% and rallied 5, American Hoop, which fell d'/2 and ral lied 1%; Standard Rope and its bond is sues, which were raided down from 2% to S points with rallies extending from i to nearly 4 points, and People's Gas, which fell 1%, and rallied 2%c. Practically all the iron and steel stocks were down from 1 to 2 points and many recovered a good portion nf the loss and there were other less striKing examples all through the list of specialties. In the railroad list St. Paul, Burling ton and B. & O. showed an extreme de cline of a point or over, but the net changes in the railroads are small, throughout It is evident that the final disposition of the financial bill by congress is await ed by the bull contingent, who are gen erally confident that the provisions for additional bank circulation will be en acted into law and will result in a not able expansion of the currency. The large buying of government bonds by na tional banks all over the country are the grounds of this confidence. Meantime the money market is working constantly closer and the favorable factors In the outlook are ignored, in the fear that the available supply of money will not bridge tho interval until the expected relief. The bond market was dull. Total sales par filse, $l,:; 35,000. U. S. old 4s and 5a advanced J /a, and the 3s \± in bid price. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Furnished by Charles H. F.

Holbert & Son, bankers and brokers. 341 Robert street. National German-American Bank building, St. Paul: Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire us: "Holders of securities can de rive very little satisfaction from today's market and practically in the investment class, wliere the ill effects of the reduc tion of the Sugar dividend, the exhibit made by the Malt company and the ap palling shrinkage in Third Avenue seem to have so starllingly illustrated the in stability of industrial enterprises. We do not think it an exaggeration to say that the events of the past few days have very seriously affected the market value of this class of stocks. We fully believe that the holders of this class of securi ties are seriously disturbed and full of questionings as to the value of their hold ings. On the other hand the railroad shares hold remarkably well, and in this quarter lies the hope for any improve ment to be seen here in the near future, for the entire railroad sys em of Lhe country has never enjoyed so'much prosperity as it Is realizing today, so that we feel like fighting shy. for a while at least, of the industrial shares and turn ing our attention to railroads. We do ri°\ k one can e° aiT»iss in buying Atcnison common and preferred and NTor. --? 1 nf v> VVt, stern- a"cl we hear no cud of bullish talk on Pennsylvania. Missouri Sf^S t l USl n to ,W -better, and almost an> or the low-priced shares of the reor ganized roads will.- we believe, score de eded improvements between now and the first of the year. Trading has again been heavy today in Sugar, and We look for it to gradually-drift to a lower level tneie is nothing new developed in Third -Avenue affairs, and from our point of view tho stock is at much too high prices ai its present figure. We feel that on any decline from present figures Tobacco ougnt to be a purchase, and from everything that we can learn People's Gas is much oversold and is earning well and ought to sell at much higher f1^ 3", 1 h£?, r rumo« ab°ut the group ?t ? tee,L aiis Wire; stocks, and it may be that with the pressure removed thev'will readily return to a higher rangr of val ues, but at the moment there is really not much hope for industrial shares In our market.
