The stock msrket was soft trom the opening today and jkliled readily to the assault of the. bears. There was practically no buying di inand of any importance perceptible and prices lost uround pretty steadily all day, even on ailcht volume of tradlns. Late in the afternoon Third Avenue mad a sudden advance of G points and caund some uneasiness among the rom ehorts, who bought moderately to cover but the rally was inslcnlflcant outside of Met ropolitan, llrooklyn Transit, Sugar and Tobacco. The sudden, upward movement in Third Avenue was unexplained, except by Inst week's move to secure the discharge of the receiver and the progress being made in the betterment of thj sjstem. The lone outstanding short interest In the slock was aimed it bv the advance The heaviness of the market during the dsv reflected the keen disappointment over the failure ot last week's encoursging developments to attract any outside demand, it was soon evident that Lon don esecially had been looked to hoptfullv to take up American stocks, and the early morning from that quarter showed declines for the inter national stocks was a disappointment. The sates for London account wcie not in large volume, but their sentimental effect was decisive and soon overcame tho strength in the few specialties which attempted to make hepiluay against the lide. It was clear that speculator who bought stocks late last week counted upon London tak ing them off their hands after that market had subsided from its hysterical over the relief of Mafeking. But London shared with the con tinental bourses a mood of depression. Interna tional houses In Wall tieet atlilbulcl this to disappointment over the denial of the report that President Kruger had made humble advances for peace and Berlin advices reported fars of an oubreak between Russia and Japan. In the New York market the Grangers and the Pacifies were the Irst to show acute siRns of weakness, but ultimately practically all of the active railroad stocks fell from one to two points below Satur day's close. Sugar lose at the opening on the announcement of advances In tho prlcu of refined sugar, hut it was sold in such volume and with such confidence that It fell into weakness with the rest of the market. The weakness In the wheat and cotton market was not without ef fect in Wall street Total sales, atO.oOu shares. Bonds were much better sustained relatively than stocks though there were weak spots In the lit. The accumulation of funds seeking Investment is nuking some slight impression nn the bond mar ket. Total sales, par value, ?2,060,000. United Mates refunding 2s, when issued, (Ik lined H and the new Is, old 4s and 8 U in tho bid price. The following quotations are furnished Ths Tribune by M. 8.
