COMMERCIAL AND
Testerday was a hard day on the produce
'markets In some lines. -The spring- weather
seemed to put a damper on prices, and pota
toes, butter and eggs lld off to "summery"
prices. The San Francisco market la tem- j
jorarlly glutted with potatoes, and buyers In
lhl territory have reduced their figures, so
that nothing was selling yesterday above 70c, ,
and some dealers were quoting 65c as the top. I
Eggs sold down a low aa lie, with elngle-cas j
lots selling at 1112c Stocks are so large -that
It Is feared that the market will go to j

butter are still bringing 55c. but most or the
brands have dropped back to 50c. and stocks are
accumulating, eo that lower prices must pre
vail. Aside from the weakness in, produce,
business -was unusually good jesterday, there
being considerable buying- by local retailers, as
well as a good trade with the country

The European wheat markets wire weak and
lower jesterdey. New a reports from over the
water would Indicate that the Britishers felt
a supreme Indifference as to whether there was
such a thins aa a wheat market, everything
abroad being cloted up except the bottles. The
East wobbled around a little, and at one time
Cot down to 04c for the May option In Chi
cago. There waB bo little buslnesa doing in
the local market that quotations are to a
large extent nominal. Some dealers shortened
their limits to 52c for "Walla Walla, but 53c
was obtainable where wheat was wanted. Val

SEW YORK STOCK 3IARKET.
Tone Was Generally Weak, Except
for a Few Railroads.
NEW YORK. March 1. The stock market re
flected from the outset today the reduction of
the unwieldy short Interest by the large cover
ing which took place yesterday, and which
caused so lively a rally at the weak spots of
the market. Practically all these stocks showed
renewed weakness today. Third Avenue conspic
uously so. This stock fell in the last hour to
a new low level, a full point below yesterday's
lowest, and rallied but feebly, closing with a
net loss of S& points. Rumors were circulated
of a heavy assessment to be levied on the mock
to effect the reorganization. The other local
traction stocks relapsed weakly In sympathy,
declines ranging In the group from 2 in Man
hattan to C-i in Metropolitan.
The shorts In Sugar were much less eager to
cover, and that stock also fell back, falling an
extreme 4. and closing with a net loss of 3i$.
Very marked weakness In the metal stocks was
an added factor towards reaction. American
Hoop leading the decline with a loss for the
common stock of 4t and for the preferred of 4
points. Colorado Fuel, the Federal Steel rtocks
Tin Plate, Steel & Wire. National Steel and
Tennessee Coal lost from 1 to 2'4. the last
named bavlng shown considerable strength In
the early dealings. People's Gas reacted 2.
Outside business was very much hampered on
account of Interrupted telegraphic communica
tion, and the buylnc orders through commission
FINANCIAL NEWS
houses, which have been growing In volume for
a number of days past, fell to insignificant
proportions. There was. however, a good dc
mand early In the day for railroad stocks, based
on the continued reports of large earnings fur
January. In spite of the high level of operating
expenses. The great Pennsylvania system
snowed a gain In net earnings for January of
the lines operated, both east and west of Pitts
burg, of 73 per cent. The Chicago. Burlington
& Qulncy, with only a snail Increass In oper
ating expenses, showed an increase in net earn
ings of no less than 172 per cent. The C, C
C & St. Louis system Increased its surplus for
January over ten-fold, and the Louisville &
Nashville net earnings were 46 per cent greater
than last year. Such notable growth In earn
ing power naturally led to buying of railroad
stocks, many of the less prominent stocks Join
ing in the movement; but the whole list suc
cumbed to the Influence of tho weakness In the
specialties. St. Paul's statement for January
also had a discouraging effect, as it .showed the
gross Increase nearly all eaten up by additional
operating expenses. The decision -of railroad
presidents to give official sanction to the notori
ous cutting of grain rates from Chicago had
some Influence on the railroad list.
London was a liberal buyer of stocks during
the day on the strength of the relief of Xady
smlth. and took fully 30,000 shares. Sterling
exchange rates yielded c en this account and
on the continued export demand for cotton.
Tlie subtreasury absorption of cash since Fri
day reached nearly $7,000,000 today. In spite of
the March disbursements, both for absorption
and Government account, it Is realized that this
must have a marked effect on the showing of
the banks In the coming weekly statement. No
effect was manifest, however, In the day's
money market.
The bond market was active, and prices were
well maintained. Total sales, $2,545,000. United
States 5s, registered, advanced per ce In
the bid price.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL NEWS.
General Jollification Superseded
Business Nearly All Day.
NEW YORK, March 1. The Commercial Ad
vertlser'a London financial cablegram says:
The news of the relief of Ladysmlth caused a
scene of unprecedented excitement In the City
today, particularly In the Stock Exchange.
Business in the house was superseded by cham
pagne drinking and a general Jollification. The
oldest members of the exchange say they never
saw anything like It. Patriotic songs were
heard everywhere. Instead of rtock quotations,
and the dealings were Infinitely small. The
principal centers were" similarly engaged, and
the wires "ucually devoted to busine were
blocked by messages of congratulation. The
markets opened nominally stronger, but sagged
In the absence of transactions. The tone finally
was harder on a rumor that General French
was at Bloemfonteln.
Consols were merely steady. In short, the pub
lic was too much preoccupied to speculate.
Americans were the liveliest. The market for
them opened strong on free general buying. New
York supplied the stocks, but London absorbed
it cheerfully, closing almost at the top. Berlin
wss Htolld, but Paris bought specialties, Tinlos
rising 2 points on heavy bear closing. Copper
statistics for the fortnight show that stocks In
creased 292 tons. The bank bought 6000 gold
In bars. Call money was firm. Bills were

CHICAGO, March 1. A splurge of activity,
due to the report from New York that 46 boat
loads of wheat had been taken for export, was
the only Incident to break the monotony of trad
ing in the wheat pit today. It was a day, gen
erally speaking, of covering shorts, with the
undertone steady, because of the Mcadlnees of
Liverpool in the face of the slump here yes
terday. The abrupt curtailment of the Liver
pool session, was somewhat a damper on the
activity In the local pit. The fight was waged
around 65e for May. This option opened a
shade over yesterday, at 65c, touched 65-jc
and then sold off to 64c. At C5c twme wheat
came out on stop-loss orders. On covering by
shorts the market steadied and fluctuated nar
rowly until near the end.
The report that 40 boatloads had been taken
for export advanced May to G5c before further
reporu? less bullish concerning foreign sales ar
rived. The market then reacted to. 65c, and
shortly afterwards closed Ann. May c over
yesterday, at G5eG5c
In the corn market the selling pressure and
the demand were arrayed against each other.
apparently to e which could be the more In
different. The rca-jlt was a slow and heavy
market. May closed c down, at 343&4c.
The oats market was firm and trade quiet.
May closed a hade Improved from yesterday,
at 23,S23c.
Provisions opened steady because hog receipts
were under the estimate, but turned weak, en
commission-house liquidation. Later in the day
the general demand improved, packers buying,
and the market rallied sharply. On the bulge
there was the usual profit-taking, which took
off the edge of the advance, but the clcae was
steady. May pork cloned unchanged. May lard
2S5c up and May ribs 5c Improved.
