J By Associated Press. . « NEW YORK, March 17.— The money outlook was the dominant influence in the stock market t<>day, and the day's price movements were downward on the average.. , The industrial stocks and specialties were quUe sharply di vergent from the railroad list, and fur nished a large record of advances. This class of securities Is largely de pendent on factors of individual effect, being leas responsive to general de velopments than the railroad list. The individual Influences today were not known in all cages.' ■ It was. Inferred from the movement of the Metropolitan stocks that hopes were entertained of a share In the In terests of future subway work. A common property Interest might be traced In some of the other stocks which . advanced, and it was assumed that pools were at work In them. The copper stocks and the railroad equip ment stocks had some share In the show of ' Btrength. ■ :OnUhe other hand, the heaviness In the railroad j list was quite general, al though the movement during the day was hesitating and irregular. Prices touched & considerably .lower level, however, than yeßterday. It was supposed that pools and spec ulative syndicates were unloading to a 'considerable extent, and there was no doubt that the money outlook was the principal motive for this action. This- was a sentimental influence, to some extent, as there was very little withdrawal of credits by, calling loans, according to the reports, of. money brokers. There was, however, quite a large paying off of loans on call, which was followed by the precautionary liq uidation of ■ stocks. It was said that a considerable part of the call loans paid oft were liquidated with the proceeds of new loans of time. Operators In stocks hitherto have re frained very persistently from taking out time loans, even at the invitingly low level' of rates, being satisfied to rely ' on day-to-day accommodations. A feature of the day was the re newal of : the 'demand for gold from Prance, which made itself felt in' Lo ndon, i This gaye rise to renewed con jectures regarding a Russian loan, and was the cause of some uneasiness over some possible disturbances In France. This '• contributed to the weakness of the later stock market. During: the same period call loans fell to 2 per cent.- .. ■ . The market closed weak at • about the lowest. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, $3,695,000. United States bonds were' all un changed on call. New York Stocks By Associated PreßS. .

BUTTER NEVER WAS SO SCARCE DEMAND TAKES ALL LIMITED - RECEIPTS Eggs Remain Steady— Stocks Re. ported Large In the Country, Bananas Firm and Ship ments Active With the transportation system still tied up nnd no relief In butter ship ments by steamer, the Los Ansrelea butter market presents a peculiar sit uation. Supplies are so short that no dealer can supply the demand for either the coast or creamery article. When the steamer arrived Thursday f treat hope was entertained that at east 260 cases would arrive, but the storm on the entire coast prevented landing, hence the diminished stocks were still further depleted. Orders were wired to Cayucos, Btockton and other northern points, but as the rail roads were tied up these orders could not be niled, and also shippers report ed that country roads were Impassable, thus preventing marketing by cream ery men and small producers. Some dealers say that holding this butter, now made for a week, and the keeping during transportation, will cause Its quality to deteriorate. As It Is, all butter Is held at 60 cents, with active demand, and stock so small that orders are being only partially filled. EGOS UNCHANGED— Market con dltlon governed the egg quotation com mittee on the produce exchange yes terday that again fixed the selling price of California eggs at 23 cents R dozen. Scarcity Is again noted, but this only Is on account of the weather and the Inability to get. eggs to market. The opinion Is general that there are plenty of egga in sight in the southland, as hens, have laid, even It rained. De mand is good, and some dealers report rates at 24 cents for fancy candled. One broker Is offering northern eggs at 18 cents f. o. b., and as far as heard from no orders have been placed. This Indicates a firm northern market. Egg handlers generally express the opinion that the day and period at this present season for low-priced eggs is over. The cut in cheese on local makes have not affected eastern cheeses. De mand Is steady, but the stocks are above the consumption. Receipts from the north and the east are. light. - POTATOES AND ONIONS— Fancy potatoes were firm, and common to fair are plentiful. Receipts are light, and no Colorados can arrive until next week, owing to Santa Fe washouts. These, it Is expected, will be in only fair shape. Demand locally is good, and the stock of fancy are fast going. Onions are firm at $3.75 for choice and $4.00 for fancy. Stocks are only nor mal, and the demand will be greater as soon as shipping can be resumed. BANANAS ARE FIRM— So far in this week it is said that five carloads of bananas have arrived. Demand is active, and prices rule firm at 4 cents. Bellefleur apple stock are being fast reduced, and the price for 4-tler is steady at J1.25@1.35. Oranges do better, and the fancy command )1.60@1.60 for navels. Lem ons are slow locally, but shipping east ward Is active. No strawberries came to this market yesterday, as the heavy downpour pre vented picking and further damaged the vines. ' Vegetables were more freely offered yesterday, and for the first time this week business resumed a better atti tude. Buyers were in market. Cabbage remained 50#60c a sack; green peas, s@Bc a pound;, string beans, 12®15c; asparagus, 10@12c;, green chili, 7@lod; all a pound. Some Mexican tomatoes from Tam plco came in and jobbed readily at $2.50@3.00 a crate. Local tomatoes were scarcer and steady at J1.25@1.50 in crates and 7oc@sl.oo in boxes. Alfalfa hay Is dull and freely offered: the growth is reported enormous; cured Is held at $9.00@11.00 a ton. The same price rules in under grade grain hay. Demand for both quiet. Good demand is reported for No. 1 grain hay, and this Is scarce, with extra No. 1 held at $15.00@17.00 a ton. The outlook for the hay crop was never better, and the desert sections are reported showing enough herbage to fatten stock. FISH AND GAME— Nothing was done in the, fish market yesterday, as no fish came in and none could be caught. The market did receive some halibut late In the day, but the de mand was in excess of the offerings. No game of any kind is in this mar ket. All lobsters are cleaned up, and so are crabs. Both are wanted. Poultry active, high and scarce. No live birds in since'Frlday last.
