THE LlYE STOCK MARKETS CATTLE ACTIVE, SOME SALES SHOW. Ilf O INCREASED STRENGTH. tloffs Fairly Active and Stronxr to HlffheiwSheep Active and Steady Condition of Other Markets. UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, April 1 Cattle Receipts, 50; shipments small. The receipts to-daj were around 100 larger than a week ago and about the same as a year ago. A few of nearly all kinds were represented, but there ws not a complete variety and rather a scarcity cf cattle good enough to sell at top prices In their rlas. The market opened with practically all local killers In the field, and they were Inclined to buy more freely than yesterday morning. Therefore It did not take long to fix a basis . for operations, and practically from the start the trading was reasonably active and sales were usually at steady prices, compared with yesterday. Occasionally, however. It was claimed that the good steers sold a shade Ftronger than they could have been sold yesterday, and it is possible that some of the le?s desirable female butcher cattle did not show quite as much strength. In a general way, however, the market for fat cattle seemed to be up to the expectations of salesmen and a satisfactory clearance was made. The demand for stockers and feeders continues about xjuat to the supply, and there is no change to rc-port in prices.

The receipts to-day were right around 2.0o0 maller than a week ajro, ut a little larprer than a year ago. The quality generally was rej-orted as Rood as yesterday, and It Is possible that a few loads were a trifle better than any represented yesterday. The market opened with about the usual number of buyers In the field, and there was .a very fair demand from nearly all sources, but local packers 'were inclined to be more liberal buyers than yesterday and there was more animation In the. trading. In a general way the market did not show any considerable advance in prices, but the heavy hops no doubt sold stronger and in many cases probably 6c higher. The small supply as exhausted in good season, and the closing market was reported steady at opening price. Sales ranged from $7 to $7.60, and the bulk of the supply sold at $7.2".i7.53, although there were several sales at $7.157.20.

Iractlcally all kinds were- represented, but there was no perceptible improvement in the quality. On account of the larger supply shippers were more in evidence than they have been for some time past, and, with a steady demand from local butchers, the trading wa reasonably active from start to finish, and a rood clearance was made In proper season at steady prices. There were no lambs here good enough to bring over $7. Others sold at $6.50 and included 83 lb clipped lambs at $6.25. Fheep sold from $435, and bucks as high as $4.

MOTIVES OF OPERATORS

DIFFICULT TO TELL WHAT PR03IPTS TIIE3I IX BUYING STOCKS. Xew York Market Heavy YesterdayShowed a Dwindling In Volume of Operations. NEW YORK, April 2. The stock market to-day continued almost wholly in professional hands and there was a further dwindling In the volume of operations. The tone of the market was heavy to weak throughout. The motives which t prompt the professional operators are difficult to discern. On Tuesday they bought stocks with money at 13 per cent., in the confidence that the call money market was about to relax. Yesterday they sold stocks again, although there was a distinct relaxation In the call money rate, with a promise of a further growth of ease. Some other considerations apparently had Intervened, which caused a question whether the easier money market was destined to benefit the stock market. The Southern Pacific quarrel weighed on the market. The developments in this controversy showed nothing to affect directly the value of the securities concerned, but the bitterness of feeling shown by the contending parties and the boldness-of their habitual methods in stock market operations kept alive a fear that a speculative duel might be precipitated in the stock market itself, with probably disastrous consequences to many innocent onlookers. Another disturbing factor was the renewal of liquidation in Pennsylvania, carrying it back to last week's low level. The selling received a renewed impetus from the February statement of earnings, which showed the expenses increased moro than twice as much as the increase in gross earnings, with a corresponding cut in the net returns. The net earnings for two months are in consequence more than a million dollars less than for the same two months of last year. Taken In connection with the February Union Pacific statement, published on Tuesday, showing a decrease in net earnings of $113.474, there is a disposition to surmise that the recent liquidation in that stock may have been from other than professional bear sources. The mildness of the demand for stocks for short account, and the dole help given to any rally in the market from the demand to cover, emphasizes this impression. The question of the action to be taken by the Wabash employes following the dissolution of the strike injunction is awaited with some concern, as was indicated by the heaviness of the Wabash stocks to-day. The decline in Western Union had no other explanation than the progress reported to be making towards a commercial basis by the wireless systems. A sharp break In the local copper market affected Amalgamated Copper. The attack on Colorado Fuel was professedly based on the proposed bond issue. Large customs payments, deposits to retire circulation and large miscellaneous collections resulted in an absolution by the subtreasury yesterday of $1,244,000 in spite of the government interest payable. This proved a disappointment. The statements of the great foreign banks for the week reflected the enormous requirements for the April settlements. A reflux of funds to the market, however. Is now in order in both foreign money markets and here, so that the immediate situation is of declining importance. Bonds were weak. Total sales, at par value, were $1,900,000. United States new fours declined U on the last call.

New York Money Market So Dull that It Sagged Under Its Own Weight, Meyer & Klser's Telegram. NEW YORK, April 2.-The opening of the market to-day was a very tame affair. and prices did not respond to higher quo tatlons for Americans from London. There was no trading for foreign account, and. no buying orders appearing here, the mar ket started to sag after the first hour, and continued to do so up to the close. It was the dullest day in many weeks, and a number of disturbing factors stimulated aggressive selling on the bear side. The statement issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad for the month of February made a poor showing, for, notwithstanding the largo Increase shown In the gross earn ings, there was a loss in the net, as com pared with last year. The Southern Pacific dispute also had its deterrent influence on speculation. The labor situation is a fac tor of increasing importance and caused a number of tired and impatient holders to close out their accounts. There was another break to-day in C. F. I. of 3 points, as the new Issue of bonds was not liked, it being supposed that the amount required for improvements and betterments and acquisition of new property oueht to have been amply provided for by the last issue of convertible bonds. The selling pressure on Amalgamated was attributed to a decline in Rio Tintos abroad, and there was also talk of an adverse decision in the Minnie Healy case. The high money rate ruling to-day also had a bad effect. The loss by the banks to the subtreasury yesterday of a million and a quarter caused some apprehension of a poor bank - statement at the close of the week. The Wabash Issues were particularly heavy on the uncertain labor outlook on that road, and there was quite a bearish feeling against all the Gould roads on account of lack of support. There was an attack on Western Union on a rumor current that the company Intended to decrease its rates. The tone in the afternoon session was heavy and extremely dull, and the trading was or no signincance.- 'ine market, there fore, continued to ag under Its own weight.

While stocks on hand are not large, there is no desire to spec ulate, and purchases are made simply to supply current needs. Jobbers' trade has been a little more brisk owing to the better weather condi tions. Wool. ST T rtTTTC!

Spelter firm at $5.374MARKETS STILL ACTIVE DRY GOODS HOUSES MAKE PARTICU LARLY GOOD SHOWING. Prices on Groceries Remain About the Same-Grain Receipts 31 ore LiberalDay's Inspections. The local markets continue active. Espe cially is . this true with the dry goods houses. One of tho largest dealers states that whatever influence the strikes In Low ell and other Eastern points may have on the market is not definitely known, but should the strikes long continue it will mean ail advance in prices in the lines of goods these firms manufacture. As a consequence, the retail dealers are taking advantage of the present prices, well knowing they will be no lower and the probabllities are that they will be further advanced. This stimulates trade, doubtless. it Is no exaggeration to say that the busi ness of March was largely in excess of March, 190-, and April opens under very favorable conditions. In groceries, except on sugar, prices are mucn tne same as those which ruled for some days past. Navy beans are very firm, and some dealers have advanced the price for fancy hand-picked. No actual changes were made in canned goods, but tomatoes are weak and conces sions are made on large lots. Tne corree market rules quite steady, but the sugar market, owing to the unsettled conditions with the refiners, fluctuates and means a loss of money to the wholesale dealer. Arbuckle llros., at New York, yester day announced a further reduction of 5 cents a hundred pounds in the New Tork price of refined sugars, making the price of granulated 4.80 cents per pound, and the net price 4 cents, this is 5 cents a nundrcd pounds lower than the price fixed "Wednesday by the American and National refineries, which reduced the price 10 cents a hundred pounds. On Commission row weakness Is a marked feature. There is hardly a line of goods that can be named but what, to sell large bills, commission merchants will make lib eral concessions. This Includes green stock as well as the older stock of fruits and vegetables. The produce market is active. The chicken market is strong as ever and last week's prices are maintained. Fresh eees are coming in freely, but with a good demand, accumulations are ngnt. rne out ter market for both Elgin and choice do mestic make is very firm. The flour mar ket is more active and prices steadier In tone. The leather market Is in very strong Dosition. and one of the largest dealers 'said, yesterday, that their business In a lone series of years nas never oeen as sat isfactory as thus far this year. Druggists are unusually busy, witn no changes in value calling for comment. In other lines of trade there is nothing new to note. The coal market is quite active at the revision of prices of Wednesday, April 1, In which reductions lr. some descriptions or coal were made. Indianapolis Grain Market. Receipts of grain the last day or two have been more liberal, but etlll are not up to the expectation of dealers, many of whom have orders to fill and are anxious to com plete the sales.
