INTEREST IS SILL Few Operators on the New York Exchange PRICE CHANGES TRIVIAL American Tobacco Case Still a Fac tor Jn Shaping Sentiment Traf fic Officials' Reports Are Fa vorableBonds Are . Steady XEW YORK, Feb. 21. A few board room regulars at the Stock exchange had the market almost entirely to themselves today Many members went noma Eaturday with the determination not to return until after tomorrow's holiday. ?he market was Inert and trivial In face of these conditions. Sellers turned buyers before the decline had proceeded to any Appreciable extent, and the buyers shifted to the selling side on the advances. The hesitation which de veloped 1n the latter part of last week was accepted as evidence of the loss of forcv in the upward movement of recovery. The operators had little material on which to form opinions of conditions. There was a perceptible effort to revive the influence of the corporation laws In the attention paid 10 tne resumption or tne sittings or tne bupreme Court eufter 'its three weeks' re cess. Ostentatious preparations were made to secure early Information of a- possible decision in the American Tobacco case, and the selling of stocks during the morning was based partly on the supposed possibility. In the domestic field, the principal in terest centered in the news of violence in connection with the Philadelphia streetcar strike. The necessity for adlustment of various wage controversies is seen, but a, tranquil view nas been taken ot the pros pect in the financial center, owing to the conviction that a spirit of compromise would rule and would, conduce to settlements satis factory to both sides. Railroad traffio officials sent In cheerful reports of freight business In sight. Stocks ended the day not far from Satur day's closing prices. BondB were steady. Total sales, par value $2,284,000. United States 2s and 3s coupon advanced li and the 3s registered 14 per cent on call. CLOSLNO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing fixutw. jugn. xjow, li i.

Market Is Finn at 30 Cents--Poultry Very Scarce. BRATTLE, Wash-, Feb. 21. (Special.) As m result of tne extreme cold snap, egg prices were not reduced hero today, as planned Sat urday afternoon. Last week's prices prevailed The market on fresh local ranch stock was firm at SO cents, and light receipts are looked for until the cold snap lets up. About 300 cases of California eggs arrived on the boat, but in view of the failing off in local re ceipts they had little effect on the market. A feature of the market was the scarcity of live poultry. So light Is the supply that frozen fowls sold today at 31 cents. Cold weather was a bad blow to the com mission business. If lt continues, dealers do not look for much produee to arrive from country polntsl In fact, one large house this afternoon warned his apple and potato ship pers not to ship until the weather moderates. California spinach was offered at 85 cents per dozen bunches. Mexicas. tomatoes arrived todey direct and were quoted at $3 per box. All grains were quiet. Considerable wheat and hay are offered by speculators who are anxious to unload before the forage can be taxed. Prices were nominally unchanged. ' QUOTATION 9 ATSAS IKANCI8CO.
