New York Stock Market New York, March 21.?In view of tho narrowness of Hie stork market of re? cent weeks, which lias forbidden ex? pectations of wide movements so long as nothing cccms to disturb the pres? ent, equilibrium, traders were content to-day to accept profits accruing from the advance ? >! Saturday ami yester? day. There was considerable realizing, in consequence of which the market was hesitating and at times depressed in contrast to the strong undertone of yesterday after the announcement of further delay in the antitrust decisions ol the Supreme Court. This condition was accentuated by more active short selllnc on the part of speculators, who regarded mote reaction at this time as natural. The advance was interrupted effectively in the case of the leading Issues, iilthougb losses were somewhat restricted. Traders wore bullish in the ina inj and temporar:.- defection from it).- long side could not be as? cribed to alternation of the financial viewpoint. A source of encouragement to the j bears, however, ans found in the largo ; offerings of stocks on advances^ a feature of the market which may be j symptomatic of the desire of ?'insiders"! to reduce their holdings. The hears! made much. a> well, of stagnant trade j conditions and other adverse; factors, i such as the Mexican situation and lack of public interest hi speculation. Ap- I prehensions as to the ability of ra'I? j loads to maintain their dividend rates, however, has been quieted to sonic ex- I tent by Iii? relatively small reduction j of earnings in view,: of circumstances Of the last few months. The reorgani? zation of the Missouri Pacific hoard of j directors proceeded, according to prof grain, hud went far beyond that point, Inasmuch as the Rockefeller rK uhn l.ocb interests wore given a command- i ing position in the directorate and' executive committee of that road, and were also invited by Mr. Gould to po- [ si lions of power and influence in the Gould properties This result indicates that such financing as may bp heeded for purposes of rehabilitation and geti erai Improvement will not be lacking. Missouri Pacific became weak on an? nouncement of tlic outcome of to-day's j meeting, and fell nearly two points to I almost a point below yesterday's close:; Attempt? to couple the prevailing dull- I ness of the market with developments It. connection with the Carnegie Trust Company were not taken seriously. Although so far as known no final plans have been made for the Issuance by the government of the ;5 per cent. Panama bonds, Si0.000 of these bonds "when Issued" sold on the curb to d?v at 102. The price is a fraction shove the ruling bid price of the out- J standing government threes, which are i available as a basis for circulation. ! whereas the Panama bonds will not ! be. The Street's appraisal of the value \ of the forthcoming issue Is regarded es foreshadowing its full success. A;.art from increased Interest in the | Russo-Chlnesc Imbroglio; news from , London was generally favorable. The i settlement In London is proceeding ; without a hitch, but speculative hold-; tngs of American stocks there are now j so liy,ht as to be without Influence.; There was sonic excitement in London | over nn extensive advance lit pig Iron.
