While yester day's covering movement was In part the cause of the sharp advance, It was also the result of substantial buying, which was attributed to large financial Interests. This buying was not In evi dence today. London also was disposed to take profits on the news of the arri val of British forces before Bloemfon teln. But, notwithstanding the lack of aggressive strength In the market, the bears showed themselves timid about making fresh ventures. There was some pressure against the list at times, especially Metropolitan, Sugar, People's Gag, Steel Hoop and the New York city stocks generally. Mis souri Pacific suffered rrom disappoint ment over the showing made In the an nual statement, and Rubber was raided down an extreme 3',,. These and other declines were largely recovered before the close, and in the final transactions a sharp marking up of prices showed that the shorts among the traders were having difficulty In getting back the sto-:k they had sold earlier in the day. Offerings of stocks on all recessions were la fact ex tremely light, and there were pints of •strength which acted as sustaining fac tors for the whole market, notably Third Avenue, the Atchison slocks, N?w York Central and Norfolk & Western pre ferred. It was thus made manifest that while the market waits on developments In the money market for a rise, holders of stocks are not prepared to make con cessions to sell. I Call money did command above 8 per cent, and fell'to 3 per cent. b*lt Ihla was probably dufe to- the cessation of stock market demand ks raujh as to any new supply of funds. The losses by the banks to the subtreasury since last Fri day already foot up $8,254,000, which is more than half the remaining surplus over the legal requirement held by the bank 3. It is evident therefore that relief from the operation of: the currency law must come quickly If it Is to prevent a pinch In the money market. A feeling of assurance was caused by an intimation-from Washington that tho first payments on account of bond pie miums In the refunding opt*ratlon will be made from the -subtreasurlos and not from the government deposits in national banks. Money market is expected to show relief from this source more quickly -than from the putting out of new circulation. A striking feature of the day's events was the sharp break In sterling exchange, demand sterling yielding % and cables % in the pound. Considering the advance In London discounts, the selling of stocks for London account here and the reported large subscription* In New York to the British loan, the course of sterling was the more remarkable. The explanation may be found in the statement of mer chandise exports from New York for the week, which were valued at. $15,243,999, against $13,570,162 in the corresponding pe riod of last year. The movement of cot ton and the high price prevailing are the principal causes of the high export fig ures. Bonds continued In good demand and prices were firmly held. Total sales, par value, $3,435,000. United States 2s declined % and the old 4s % in the bid price. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Furnished by Charles H. F.

Holbert & bon, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German-American Bank building, St. Paul—Strong, Sturgls & Co. wire us: "As far as activity is concerned the Improvement of yesterday has not been maintained in today's business, the volume of transactions having very ma terially fallen off. This afternoon spec ulation Is about aa stagnant as it has been for some time past. Prices hold fairly firm, however, and it cannot be de nied that there is a bullish current of feeling existing In many quarters, par ticularly as to railroad shares. In a measure we share in this feeling, but can not very well see how at present there can be any realization of these hopes. The unsatisfactory condition of the bank reserves, the stiffening of rates for money and the entire absence of public demand for stocks all work against it. The fea ture today has been the strength of Atchison securities, and from our own knowledge of the company's affairs we should expect to see these stocks de servedly sell at much higher prices. We know nothing new to say about Third Avenue. The report of the receiver is pot yet out, but we shall not be surprised if it should show a greater floating debt than has heretofore been talked of. Sugar continues strong on short buying, but on any 4 or 5 points further advance we be lieve it the best possible short sale. The announcement of the death of Charles H Coster, of J. P. Morgan & Co., was re ceived with genuine and widespread re gret. Following furnished by Edwards & Bedell, 110 Endicott Arcade, St Paul Minn.: ' "Every market dreads above everything else apathy, and there !s now no question but that the recent obtaining dullness is now to be followed by a current of lively bullish speculation. We continue strong ly bullish on the grangers. Atchison pre ferred, the Pacifies, Reading first pre ferred, Louisville & Nashville. Southern Railway preferred, C. 1., Steel stocks and Tobacco stocks." FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York March 13.—The Commercial Adverlltyftr's London financial cablegram says: "The markets here were strong in general at the start on the news that Gen. French was at Bloemfontein, and business was distressingly meagre and fell off all round, operators talking of the war ancl not dealing. A private dispatch received by a broker from Mafeking saying. "All rlsht here; how are markets?" replied "All starving here: how Is Mafeking?''' The war loan still absorbs attention It is reported that £6.000,000. on application has already been deposited, equivalent to a subscription of £200.000,090. J P Mor gan & Co. are still lodging heavy appli cations. The premiium has been 2%, clos ing at 2V4. Allotment letters are dealt in at V* discount on the premium. Con.sols were 101%, closing unchanged. Americans began firm, but sagged slightly, falling support on either side of the ocean. The bank bought £23.000 gold in bars, and re ceived £10,000 from Holland. The bank has withdrawn its buying price for eagles and Is now in complete control of the money market. There were large re newals today, also large freah loans and discounts," TREASURY STATEMENT- Washing ton.
