GENERAL MARKET, HOW
EVER, IS STAGNANT.
Financiers More Than Ever Sus
pect Trouble Over Northern
Securities Settlement
Kcw York. March 23 Vn'on Pacific
made a movement In to-day's stock mar
ket similar In character, although of less
violence, th-vn that on Monday of last
wtek preceding; the announcement of the
plan of tho distribution ot the Northern
Securities assets. But this Isolated move
ment failed slRnall to carry the general
market with It This alugglhness of the
general market seemed adequntel ac
counted for In the earh- dealings by tho
conflicting movement in United States
riteel preferred which sold down more
than a. point below jesterdnv's ilosins
The general list seemed to bo held in !us
pcns.on bv these confllctlns movement-,
but tho discrepancy became ma-ked lttr
It. the da. when tho prtSMiro against
l lilted btiite"; fcteel preferred was re
lieved, without a recovers, however, while
the rle In Lnlon Pacific became more
buoyant. '
UNION PACIFIC BUOYANT
Union I'aclflc became more buojant The
renewed strength In tt'e merger seeurl
tits on the curb was the only response,
that might be in svmpathy with the rise
in Union Pacific The gencnl list re
mained inert until the rally Jjst at the
c!oe The source or the motlvo for the
buving of Union Pacific was as much a.
m sterj as ever, but there can be no
doubt tlint the suspiclo't has trained 3
hold on the speculative community that
all Is not peaceful In the process of un
doing the Northern Securities merger The
fear gains ground that the real point at
iue is an advantage of position In the
transcontinental flelJ. which threatens to
reopen the whole dispute which was
foupht to so iolent a termination in 1&J1
1 hi- fear is fostered b the trav ersing ot
tho history of the formation of the North
en s'ocuntles Company and by the re
tJblication of the contention bv E. II
llarriman in a public hearing thit the
transfer of hK holdings of Northern Pa
cific was by private salo to J P Morgan
A Co . and not by deposit of the stock
with the Northern Securities Companv for
exchange into their stock.
The impression thus set afloat In Wall
street Is that the Union Pacific Interests
aro standing out for the return of their
original holdings, of Northern Pacific and
the control of that sjstem. while it Is also
felt that there is no moro disposition to
ie!d this peaceably than at any other
previous time.
ENORMOUS LOANS.
Reports of enormous loans made on
Union Pacific collateral kept alive the
uuno-lty as to the abrorptioi of that
stock, but threw no light on tho ques
tion. It was not until the closing deal
lngi that the market shown! any sign ot
ttiTOtsa to tho Union Pacific A rtue of
over 2 points In St. Paul and l3s in South
ern Pacific then pulled the general list up
to last night's level or slightly abovc
The heaviness of United States Steel pre
ferred was due to the fears of a poor
statement of earnings lor the quarter to
be made at the meeting of directors next
week, which Is also to act on the pre
ferred dividend. The Februarj statement
of Erie's net earnings and of Canadian
Pacific's for tho same period w ere not en
couraging. The session of the Stock 1.1.
chango pased without any announce
ment of gold exports b to-morrow's
steamer, although fore'gn exchange made
a further advance. There was some re
vival of crop scare on account of dr
weather in the Southwest The market
closed quiet, active and firm at the rallj

May wheat was h'gher. July wheat lower and corn futures unchanged at the close
of a nervous and erratic market jestcrdav Though there was not a great deal of
bullish news in sight, the shorts seemed anxious to cover at the opening; A sharp
advance In Chicago encouraged the earij bull movement, but later this was found to
have been baied partly on a guess as to the character of the Missouri crop report
which will bo issued next Saturday or Monda Advices from other sections of the
belt showed that the crop was progressing falrl well and there was nothing In the
foreign news to encourage the btiing side The course of the market was about the
same as It had been for several dajs As soon as the short bulng was over values
sagged of their own weight There was trough apprehension of a squeeze in May
wheat to keep that option slightly higher, though the c!oe was 'ic below the high
point for the day The decrease in the worlds vislb'e was so small as to have a
bearish effect, and moderate advances in European markets were not reflected in the
export inqulrj Crop conditions in foreign countries was good, though the growth
was said to be slow
Corn showed a great deal of strength early li the session, but the early advances
were not well maintained In tre last hour the maeket was weakened by professional
selling In Chicago and b the weakness of wheat.
July wheat opened l-16c up and closed 3,c oft.
July corn opened s,c up and doed unchanged.
July oats closed nominally unchanged
Receipts of produce were moderate and prices of fruits ard vegetables were gen
erally steady
Local securities were fairly active. Tractions were easy and other issues firm.
