New York Stock Market Now Tork, Maroh 8.?Uncertainty as to the situation In Mexico, declaration of a dividend on New York Central at a rate lower than the previous? quar? ters and copper producers' report all served to unsettle stocks and caused declines. The market showed no ner? vousness, however, and there was no apparent pressure to liquidate stocks seeming to drift downward chiefly through inertia ami lack of incentive to bullish operations. The only relief from the monotony of an unusually dull day was offered by a period of activity following the announcement that the New York Central dividend for the quarter would be at the rate of tlve per cent, instead of the pre v inns t; per cent, rat e. The market, which had been heavy from the opening, sold off on the news although some railroad stocks lost more decline than did New York Cen? tra! itself. Lohigh Valley dropped 2 pe-r cent., and most of the other active railroad issues a point or more. Then caine a rally, followed by further weakness, and at the . d of" the day the list was ii? ? t !" , i from the low point. The ef fe,-t of the day's unfavorable news was offset by the fuel that it bad hern anticipated largely in the decline of the stocks most affected. i' nkers liavinc; interest in Mexico were in conference to day with repre? sentatives of that republic, and with one accord they declared that the most amiable relations exists between Wash? ington and the City of Mexico. Shares of the National Railways of Mexico were weak The fertilizer shares wore almost the large-; |os< rs of any. and the decline In tho.se issues war; explained as being due to the dissolution of a pool which has been active in that group for some time Rear traders attacked the Could i stocks when it was reported that an- ? other offer of tho presidency of Mis- ! souri Pacific had been ' declined, and forced some substantial recessions in Missouri Pacific and In W ab ash pre- I furred. Report for January of two] large Industrial corporations?the American Sugar and the American To? bacco Company?presented striking contrasts. The profits from operations of the sugar company were reduced by more than half. An indication of the tobacco company's prosperity may be found In the stat ...ent that the profit and los* surplus at the end of the year was $61,119.1111 as compared with $42,. 499,100 at the end of the previous year.
