Asparagus is la larger supply, but the demand Is active and prices a shade firmer. Rhvbarb is irregu lar, as the growers' combination Is having competition. The market is almost bare of fancy oranges, and stocks of other grades are light and prices firm.

THEIR FAITH IS SHAKEN STOCK-TRADERS SUSPICIOUS OF MERGER RUMORS. Shares of Southern Iron Companies Suffer a Bad Break Foreign Markets Are Weak. NEW YORK. March 3. A number of in cidents occurred today which served to upset speculative sentiment on tbe otock Exchange and renew apprehension over the reliability of the many reports regarding combinations and mergers of existing properties which have been made the ground for buying stocks for some time The market was weak from the outset owing to an unexpected volume of selling for foreign account. The unfavorable news re garding the Russian position at the seat of war and some suggestive rumors of a prob able Internal disturbance In the empire to take form on Sunday were supposed to ac count for the weakness from foreign sources. Weakness was again pronounced In the Pa cifies and New York Central. The market showed good recuperative force from the first decline, and there were occa sional recoveries and special points of strength served as a rallying point for the rest of the market. But sentiment was again unsettled by tbe unostentatious .appearance of aquota. Hon for a single 100-sbare lot of Sloss-Sbef-fieid Steel, selling at the price of SC A sec ond sale of the amount -at the same price followed. The fact that 100 shares should be offered down continuously for 22 points with out finding a single buyer had a disturbing effect. Other stocks which have been asso ciated with th.o merger report were more ac tively traded fa, especially Tennessee Coal and Iron, and its sharp break in the market had a disturbing effect on sentiment gener ally. Tho admission that the proposed mer ger had been "deferred" was tha only sews to account for the movement. The forecast of the currency movement of the week indicated a small gain for this cen ter in balance on the regular export movement with the interior. Sub-treasury operations, however, have absorbed more than $3,000,000, pointing to a decline in the cash item. The present large drain into the sub-treasury la largely due to drafts by interior Nattosal banks on their New York correspondents for payments to the Treasury Department to make good the National bank 5 per cent fund, which had become depleted by tbe large cur rent redemption of bank notes. This large redemption was an lneidcnt in the heavy flow of currency from the interior to New York, the New York banks offering the bank notes for redemption as they were received. The movement to replenish the 5 per cent fund marks a stage in tho reflux of the currency movement. Rates for time loans were marked up again today, and it seems evident that large prosrets has been made In taking up the available sup ply of credits offered by the trust companies, as well as by the banks. The closing gener ally was heavy and not far from the low level. Total sales, par value, $4,855,000. United States boads were alt unchanged -on calL STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hlcb. Low. bid.

He said that there was to be In the March number an article on Lhasa, by a correspondent who accom panied Colonel iounghusband s late expedition into Thibet, which, he was very anxious tp read. "When told that several otner travelers naa reacneo. tne I Sacred City mentioned and written de scriptions of it ho replied that the new description would be lUiistrated by photographs and so would far excel all former ones, as the writer would be able to secure views and descrip tions of many temples. ctc which had never been seen by whtto man, let alone being photographed. He finally said that he had ascertained that the Idea that man developed from the monkey had been evolved by the Thi betans centuries before Darwin was born. Their idea was that when mon keys took to eating grains they shed their hairy coating and their talis and increased In stature till they finally became human beings. He was very anxious to see whether the writer of the article had looked Into tho matter as he desired to know whether he had descended from a ring-tail monkey or a tailless ape.
