New York
Stock Market
New York, Maxell L't.?The inscrut
table calm of the stock market for
many days was n<<t disturbed to-day.
"Wail Street has been more bn tiling be?
cause there have been few liuppeningH
to explain oven such slight, move
men is as have occurred. Traders were
in< ro inclined t?. take the bear side;
although thai meant little, as tho>
have assumed no positive position for
weokb, and wore as cautions as ever
to dn\. There was ;, general and ten?
tative drift downward during most of
the session. and although sellers
showed unwonted timidity, ami never
ventured far from cover, the end of
the day found prices generally below
t!,,_ close of the previous day by small
j motions.
To snj that all previous records for
dullness on the exchange ibis year
were broken gives but a slight con?
ception of the utter stagnation which
prevailed. Professional opera tors were
pb diseohrjiged that many of I hem quit
by noon, to remain away the rest of
the Week The total for the day was
only 152,000 shares, which is lho small
lex I day's business since .inly. 1003.
Further activity of the Wat 1?<
partmeut may have been responsible
fin the weakness of Mexican Railway
sdiares; although the Mexican affair in?
still ignored US a real factor in the
securities market; which reflects the
prevalent view of itnuncial lenders that
the Situation ij one which calls for
no forebodings. Amolganiated COppor,
American Smelting and Chesnpoako
und Ohio were weak spot:, in the list.
Some heaviness developed In foreign
markets, in keeping with (he move?
ment hor< More circumstantial details
tje^unp with efforts of American bank
ijjrs to lift Ate hi son on the rails Bourse
point to a successful outcome of those
negotiations. The old rumor that
United States Steel is to bo placed In
that same market was revived, but
lacked of continuation.
Recent activity of certain high
priced bank shares was explained ???
day i? the announcement that control
offthe National Batik of Commerce had
passed from the hands of the big in?
surance companies to a group of the
most powerful ilnnheicrs in this coun?
try. These include the so-called Stand?
ard Oil-Morgan interests. which ill-'|
yeadv dominate tho two other largest
banks of this city?the First National
and the .National City Bunk. i
Hank cleuringfi of the week at all j
Hit le?dlng cities of the country ag?
gregate nearly 10 per cent, less than
in the corresponding week last year.
The recent marked dullness in stock
tnarket activities, as well as in gen?
eral trad- conditions, is indicated in
(striking manner by statistics of over?
ripe daily exchanges. revealing u
shrinkage of $60,000.000 since January,

Now York. March 21.?Era d.?-tree L's
to-morrow will say:
Trade reports do hot differ materially
from last week, and while Individual j
lines show some variations, business as
a whole is quiet. For this, the long
present caution in buying;. irregular
weather conditions, the late Easter sea?
son and the increasing activity of the
farmers in crop work arc all held re?
sponsible. The volume of house buy-1
In;? is smaller at most cities, and thol
returns from the travelers on the road!
are now the chief source of new busi?
ness at wholesale; Jobbers report tie
mand. us for some time past, to be for
small lots for quick shipment. Retail
trade for spring has not yet opened up
actively, owing partly to coo! weather, j
At some cities price reductions are still
in evidence to move heavy goods.
Clothing is quiet, and the shoo trade
could be more active. On the othbr
hand, the seasonal period helps building
somewhat. Reports from the leading
industries arc not materially changed.
The soft coal trade is dull." reflecting
past and present Industrial quiet. Iron
mi l steel show no progressive gain in
activity. Future buying is restricted.
Railroad operations aro below a year
ago; there tire four times as many id <
cars, and retrenchment is visible in
HOT East Main Street.

Weekly Cotton Mnrkct.
New York, March 24.? Cotton specu?
lation has kept within narrow bounds,
and prices have shown no marked net
changes; though the drift at times has
been downward. It his been neces?
sary for the bulls to give frequent
support. A leading bull operator
bought some 30.000 bales Of .Iul5- last
Monday, t>ut even such large pur?
chases had little effect. The truth Is
I a great majority of the tradoTs are in
! doubt what, to do. Man'- would unite
j In an effort to put up prices but for
I the dullness and depression in the
cotton goods trade, the slowness of the.
spot nia'ltcl. the fear of further cur?
tailment of production of goods both
at New England and at the South, the
fact that Texas had had rather copious
rains of late, and finally a fear that
during the coming session of Con^res??
another effort may be made to pass an
antloptlon law. \YIth trade and specu?
lation both dull and the fear that an
effort may bo made to wipe but the
cotton exchanges, the hulls themselves
are not. as a rule, aggressive. More?
over, the reports from the South lead
to the belief that the soil is In the
main in good condition, and that a big
acreage will ho planted which, with
Of this Company, with two exceptions, are directors
of other banks, and eight of them are officers of other
banks. For the benefit of the 331 stockholders be it
known, that they are all sending or bringing business
to this Company. That cannot be said of many Boards.
With this statement of fact, it is easy to account
for the steady development of our business and the
increase of our deposits?nearly 1,000 per cent, in 15
months.
We pay 3 per cent, on personal and inactive ac?
counts, and where the balance amounts to $500.00 or
more the interest is credited at the end of each month.
Deposits made by mail receive prompt attention.

PERSONAL AND BUSINESS ACCOUNTS SOLICITED;
With assets of over $J,7C0,C00. every inducement consistent with good
I arkinp is offered to its customers. 3 per cent, allowed in Savings Depart?
ment liank is open till ? o'clock Saturday evenings
reasonably favorable weather, will pro?
duce a big crop. The Census Bureau
report ol last Monday made a good
many people believe that the crop Is.
at least 12,250.000 bales, whereas pre?
vious to the issuance of thai report
there wits an Idea In some quarters
that It'might turn out to be 12,000,000
hales or less. Itcports In regard to the
cotton goods business in France, Aus?
tria, Canada and China are not, ay a
rule, favorable. Some in trie Fall
riivor mllis have latterly been passing
their dividends or else reducing them.
And yet there are factors, which have
encouraged bulls. Of hue the spot
.-ales have been large in Liverpool;
Manchester's trade is better, and spot
holders at the South refuse to give,
way. jt is believed that the New York
stock, which has decreased within less
than two months over lfiO.noo hales,
wili gradually disappear, leaving short
sellers with no protection; The enor?
mous exports this year arc an Impor?
tant factor, for the increase of exports
over last year is greater than the in?
crease of receipts over last year. The
movement into sight Is comparatively
Email, and world's stocks are being
reduced much more rapidly than they
were a year ago. In other words, the
statistical position is regarded as
strong, and were, it not for the dull?
ness of trade and speculation, would
no doubt have much more influence
than it hud at the moment, regardless
of the favorable outlook for the next
season's yield. There, can be no doubt,
however, that the fear of antioption
legislation acts ns a deterrent on spec?
ulation, and so i.s an obstacle to the
plans of the bulls. As the case stands,
the bulk of tho ?rndo is in n waiting
attitude. To-day the Census Bureau
slated the stocks in this country on
February 28 nt 4.021.027 bales, against
?I, 130,2411 bales at the sartu time last
year, while manufacturers' holdings
werft given as 1,52-1,000 bales, .against
",r>ri3,ono last year.
