STOCK MARKET
CONTINUES DLJJLL
XEW YORK. Feb. 24.— Dealings
in stocks today were scarcely
larger than' yesterday. The thin
ness of the market was as-marked
on the selling' pide as on the buy
ing side and it required' but, a
small absorption. to lift prices. The
timidity of" the bears 'is aggra
vated by such a demonstration as
that of last- week' in Reading and
that of today in. the southern
proup of railroad stocks.
. The movement today lacked au
thoritative explanation. A sup
position naturally arose that some
financial project was working: out
designed to change the relation
between these properties, already
very close by reason of the control
of Louisville and. Nashville held
by Atlantic Coest line and a mu
tual control of other properties
held by Louisville and Nashville
and Southern Railway.
Until the movement in these
stocks stimulated some vitality
in the rest of the market, it was
practically lifeless. An early at
tempt to depress prices met with
little success and this, as much as
any definite news . of conditions,
prompted thelater upward move
ment. The quieting down of af
fairs in Philadelphia was accepted
as good news.
The abstract of the reports to
the comptroller of the currency of
the national banks of the country
as of January 31, shows the loan
expansion since the November 16
report, well distributed, the New
York banks being responsible for
less than ?15. 000,000 of the $80,
715.550 aggregate increase for that
period. The stock market liquida
tion effected in that interval ex
plains this relative showing. In
the yearly comparison, however,
there is shown an increase since
February 5 last of $355,736,857 in
the loan account ot the national
banks, the cash reserves having
shrunk in the same time over
$27,000,000. 'The credit condition
is, in consequence, still consider
ably, extended, in spite of. the sub
stantial deflation which has oc
curred in the stock market. ,
Bonds were steady. Dealers re
port an improved demand for
bonds. Total sales (par value),
$2,692,000.'

Butter. Cheene and EgK» \u25a0
The market for eggs and dairy produce con
tinued active and buoyant yesterday, the denfcnd
for- regular local use being brisk and tliere was
also a fair movement in shipping channels. The
shipping demand for eggs caused a small ad
vance In the pric« of fresh extras. Bids or -de
failed to bring out any stocks under tbe c-hll ou
the exchange and that figure was accordingly
made the official quotation. The market may
settle- down.- however, as the northern steamer
sails today and there may be a lull in the ship
ping demand until next steamer day. « r «* n
extra butter was lc . higher . on a sale at *.c
a pound, the market ruling firm at the advance.
One firm was reported to be filling an order for
shipment on the steamer out for the north today.
In the cheese department fancy new Cnllfornia
flats and New York fancy were Uc " higher ou
bids at 19 Vic and 20c respectively.
The only transaction on the exchange waa a
sale of 10 cases of fresh extra batter at o-jC a
pound. --.'\u25a0-.- .
Receipts were 47.500 pounds of butter. 10.0W
pounds of cheese and. 2,585 cases of eggs.
The following are the official quotations estab
lished yesterday. and on the three preceding days
on the rtoor \u25a0of the dairy exchange. Prices in
the street, while governed by. the exchange quo
tations, generally range from I^4c to 2c higher,
owing to the various charges to be added.

in the market for fresh fruits yesterday. Stocks
of everything were liberal and with retail
tradesmen following the usual custom of iimiting
their operations to the filling of small orders for

Poultry and Game .
There is very little live poultry coming in from
state . shipping points, and with receipts ..from
tbe middle west also light, the market remains
in excellent shape for the selling interest*.
Everythipg coining to hand is 'disposed "of almost
as fast as received and a premium is sometime*
obtained for desirable offerings. Dressed tur
kcjs still linger in the market, but there is
very, little call \u25a0 for them and it N a difficult
matter to move anything bnt prime stock, which
commands a, premium. ' . . . \u25a0 , \u25a0 ..
