New York, March 7. The stock market to day showed evidence of coniltelinjr emotions en the part cf tho professional speculators who make up the present market. There was somethirj; of a struggle during the early part of the day to keep prices moving upwards and a number of specialties shot up In the way, which has becomo so famil iar cf late. Others which were violently advanced yesterday, showed a tendency to en abrupt relapse. Tne general active list took oa lta recently somnolent condi tion, suKqetlng that the demand from the short Interest, which caused yesterday's sharp rl had been Eatl-med. The notice that X&.O.ao of the gold engaged for to morrow's steamer had been -withdrawn from export had a mild stimulating- effect on tho market, but the later forecast cf to-morrow 'a bank statement showed suffi cient ground for apprehension, still remain ing of tho rate or depletion of the New York bank reserves. The report that the Government had nled Its suit against the Northern Securities Company, with the United States Court at St. Paul also caused a ripple of alarm, although It had been abunaantly foreseen, antl presented no ne phase In the case. II n ii I. Lose Their Cash. Tho preliminary figures of money move ment for the week indicate that the bani:3 have lost cash to the extent of nearly J -OOO.GC. Including the gold exported oa Thursday, but not Including tile JISH.OO.) which Is to go on to-morrow's steamer. It Is argued taat Thursday's gold exports, coming late In the week, will not tlgura for their full effect In the bank statement under tho average systemr-but the same thing was true or last week's statement, leaving the residue to last week's cash loss es to be carried over Into this week. Tho apprehension Is tlireforc that the small surplus may be cut In two.

On motion of Mr. Hofmann. action was de ferred for cne week. As the Municipal . Assembly will adjourn on April 7, scarcely sufficient time remains In which to pass tho measure and It probably will die with the session. Mr. Gibson, who opposed it In commit tee, spoke at some length against the bill. Mr. Hoffmann arirued that so many serious problems aro Involved that the Council should tnke amnle time for deliberation. 11 Li motion to postpone action was carried without a dissenting vote. The bill proiides that the Board of Di rectors of the St. LouN Free I'ublic Li brary may acquire the franchise, rights and property of the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association, raze the Exposi tion building, restore Missouri Park and erect the Cnrnccie Library In the park.

Under suspension of the rules the bill to authorize the Knolimann Paper Company to contract a bridge over the alley In city block 1087X was sent to engrossment. Mr. Hoffman lnsltcd on prompt action, m or der to give the House time to cons.Ic'er ant pass it. He said that St. Louis will becoma a suburb of East St. Louis If necessary privileges are not extended to manufactur ing; and mercantile concerns. He charged the House with dilatory tactics on similar measure. Mr. Horton Introduced a bill providing for vacation of an alley In cltv block 4tN'.
