PRICES GO DOWN
IIV STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, March 16. — The
stock market reflected the further
technical course of the specula
tion today without much regard
to the news factor. . The shrewd
suspicion that 1 the most powerful
speculative forces which had sold
heavily at the high levels last
week had withdrawn their benev
olent control of the market and
were not averse even to see prices
recede again was harbored in the
minds of the professional element.
This helped on the decline.
The bulk of the pales were
ascribed to sources outside of New
York, mostly western speculative
centers. Greater confidence was
professed about the stock ex
change in the prospects of settle
ment of labor troubles, but the
outside selling seemed to be
prompted partly by uneasiness
over the ultimate outcome of the
wage controversies which are so
numerous in the railroad world.
Th«» sharp break in prices yes
terday in itself induced some fur
ther liquidation by timid holders
and by those called on to put up
additional margin. Signs of bear
activity were plainly seen. These
included a revival of reports of
,J. f. Morgan's ill health and al
leged anxiety over 1 the physical
condition of the king of Kngland.
The pressure to sell United
States steel was a sympathetic in
fluence. The publication of the
pamphlet report of the corpora
tion disclosed the favorable de
tails of the year's operations
which furnished the avowed mo
tives for the latest advance in
the stock. The elaborate details
of the report offered no striking
additions to the main outline as
already known.
The digestion of the fact! of
the steel report and the needs of
the uncovered shorts contributed
to the effective rally of the latter
part of the day. Much of that
was lost before the closing, which
was weak. ";. J i"
Interior exchange moved in fa
vor of Xew York. Rates for time
loans, however, were firmly held.
• Bonds were heavy. Total sales,
par value. $2,606,000.
United States bonds were un
changed on call.

Western Poultry Arriving Freely
larger than usual, and a large number of new
people are entering the business for the first time
throughout this section.

production* for next season. The weather re
mains good for production and the eggs are in
fine condition for packing in cold storage.

ceiving 18c for eggs, but the bulk of the product
is. shipped to San Francisco firms. Small dealers
supply the localiinarket and those dealing direct
with the consumers receive a better price.
PETALDMA, March 16.— There was no change
in the price paid for eggs today, 20c and 19c
being the best offerings.
Potatoes, Onions and Veteetnblen
Yesterday's arrivals of asparagus fell far be
low thoee of the preceding day, aggregating
about 1.100 boxes. Despite the decreased re
celpta. the market was easier, as retail trades
men wera taking less than on Tuesday. With
mo3t sellers 6c. a pound was a top price, and
only a small percentage of the arrivals brought
that figure. . Buying for shipment In the after
noon cleaned the market up. Khubarb was
abundant and easy, with most receivers selling
by the box Instead of by the pound as hereto
fore. There was a good demand for choice peas
at steady prices. A few sacks came In from
Alameda county and sales were reported at S@
10c a pound. The other vegetables stood a* be
fore quoted. There was nothing new in potatoes
or onions.

from the southern part of the state yesterday
and found prompt sale at 20@25c a small bas

ples, the recent reductions In prices for cold
storage stock having greatly stimulated the de

Late mail advices from \u25a0 New York say ©f
prunes: "WhlJ/i there is little doing at present
in California fruits, quite a little interest has
been created in prunes by reports from the coast
that stocks remaining there are extremely small
and contain few of the more popular sizes. This
interest has been Increased by reports from Chi
cago that stocks there are at a low ebb and that
dealers throughout the west are carrying much
smaller supplies than usual. According to brok
ers who are in a position to get a pretty close
' estimate of conditions. New York now controls
the prune situation. While stocks here are not
large, they are greater than in any other mar
ket, the cust not excepted. according tr> the
statements of some authorities, and- it will not
be long, according to these, that other markets
will \u25a0be coming to New York to obtain . needed
supplies. The stock remaining on the coaat Is
said to consist mainly of undesirable sizes."
Fruits — Evaporated apples. 6?i@9c; aprlcota.

MISCELTjA^EOUS MARKETS
Cotton Market
NEW YORK. March 16.— Button* wire say*:
"The market showed very little feature during
th» day. Interest was very limited and there
were only a few orders in the market either
way. In this respect the market was a distinct
contrast to the excitement and artl-rlty of.tb«>
pr»rious day. None of the larger interest*
seemed to he taking any part in the market
and aside from a few moderate sized blocks
transactions, were in small lots. There was a
gond deal of gossip regarding weather conditions
and some little selling no the \u25a0 weather n*w*.
The reports of rains in Texa* were used a little
against tha market, but the rains -were #0 slight.
that they ware really of T«ry. little Importance."
