New York Stock Market New York. March 7.?Ah upward movement ear'y La the vir?which in ureased (ho price of sonic securities as niueh as one point, was the only change <>f eonsounencc to-day. The market whs lirm up to tiie last hour, when prices reccdctl somewhat, hut trading was unusually dull. Advances of the forenoon probably were made in obedience to the In 11 li? chee oi further short covering, mill operations -ltd not attempt to force .< further rise, and the stagnation which prevailed at the higher prices seemed to show that the market was in deadlock, neither faction wishing t?> assume ti c offensive at the present. Gould Issues were strong, especially Missouri Pacific ami Wabiish i>rvfer? red, and buying of these stocks was regal'dod as a forerunner to develop? ment :ti t ie annual meeting of Mis? souri pacific next week, when new In? terests will assume control.

'Die action of officials of the Fast orii mn!> s'nes In deciding to cancel their increased frcjtgbt tariff- was :*e ? ?' pted as a favorable development, in l a! it apparently brings to an end i . l..,ug perlids of uncertainty which followed the movement for' higher Ight rates. To what extent the pol iej of retrenchment will he carried out is still a matter of conjecture; Building returns for February from ibe irirsrrr cities showed e. further con? traction, having decreased by ifi.f, peri ??eilt from February of arid by t."..". per cent, froni January of this year.
