Special to John NJ. Oakley & Co.:
NEW YORK, March S.-The market opened
with as much snap as a bottle of champagne
but its effervescence grew into fatness at the
end of the first half hour. The rush to buy
was general all along the line, but it looked
more like a movement of shorts than out
side orders. If prices could be sustained and
gradually worked up perchance the public
might come in, but so far there is no indication
of any real change at present. Sentiment
changes easily in Wall street from the bull to
the bear side. or vice versa, but the trouble of
late has been that there has been no sentiment
to change, no interest, no appetite, no desire to
do anything one way or the other.
The passenger rate war goes on with increas-
ing valor among the combatants, but bulls
argue that the very holiness of the fight is the
best reason to expect its early discontinuance.
1t is well to remember that such rate wars not
only leave scars that do not easily heal but
they give the public who use the roads taste
of low rates. and when the ''gentlemens agree
ment' restores the higher rates there is always
fresh outbreak by Legislatures and Railway
Commissioners. The tendency of Western
rates is toward the level of the trunk lines. and
they will in time reach this lower plane. The
Grangers have had good rally on the shorts,
but we believe that they are sale at ro-day's
