Attorney Gregory of Chicago one of Mr..
Debs' counsel in his case now before the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
Mr.. Edwin Walker, special counsel for the
government at Chicago, were at the Depart
ment of Justice today. Mr. Gregory sought
Attorney General Oiney's consent to in
creasing from four to six hours the time to
be allowed to each side in the Debs argu-
ment, which will begin next Monday. The
Attorney General, it is thought, will not
ask the court 10 make the extension, but
will not interpose an objection in case the
court is disposed to grant the request. Mr..
Olney however, is of opinion that four
hours is quite sufficient in which TO present
all legitimate arguments either side.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 23.-After a some
what irregular and commonplace opening
today's stock market developed a strong
er undertone than any Of its recent pre-
cecessors. the short interest being entirely
at the mercy of the triumphant bulls.
The manipulation in Jersey Central was
strongly marked. the price being forced up
on quick purchases Of a few hundred
shares A sudden burst Of activity toward
the close Of business advanced the price
10 %, gain Of per cent from opening
figures. In less than two weeks ID per
cent has been added to the market value
Of this property, and Indications are still
favorable to further advancement.
Lackawanna and Reading gained 1 5-8
and l IA per cent respectively. In sym
pathy with the prevailing sentiment
In the other less active issues some good
buying was noticed, which added substan.
tally to opening figures. The grangers
were all strong, ST. PaufS Northwest and
Rock Island. on a smaller volume of busi-
ness. added fractionally to it's first price.
Missouri Pacific gained Is per cent.
Manhattan was in fair demand up to Ito.
a gain Of l IL Ter cent, and Nashville
added 1 per cent to initial figures on pur-
cEases attributed largely to the short &C
count.
The pool in New England was active in
where similar improvement was noted, re-
stricted only by a smaller volume Of bust
ness
The industrial shares were less conspicu-
Gus than of late. General Electric was the
feature on good purchases. resulting in an
advance of IL per cent to 81. Negotiations
are pending which are likely to terminate
in a contract between the General Electric
and Westinghouse companies to refrain
from litigation on the subject of the several
patents now owned by these companies.
The bank statement was decidedly dis
appointing to bankers. but had no effect
on the tendency Of the market. The de-
crease Of over s4,250,U00 IN loans is ac-
counted for by the payment of loans made
on the temporary receipts for the new
government bonds. The receipts have been
released and the bonds themselves taken
up and sent to Washington to secure cir
culation.
The less in lawful money is due to in
terror and subtressury operations, and
coupled with the loss in loans nearly ac-
counts for the loss in deposits.
The statement follows: Reserve, decreas-
3D. s3.4522I5 loans, decreased. s4,351, COO:
specie, decreased. s.. 453, 200; legals, decreas-
ed, $3,361 400: deposits, decreased, s., 49,

INTERESTING TESTS
OF Materials of War to he Made nj
Indian Head.

Several important tests are in progress
at the naval proving grounds at Indian
Head today the result of which will be
awaited by ordnance experts with interest.
A lot of 13-inch sterling common shells are
to be tried. To meet requirements they
must pass through a Finch nickel plate,
unimpaired. The most novel test on the
program will be the firing of new pro-
jectile by the flying machine invented by
Hiram Maxim, which is designed to carry
a high explosive through armor of moder-
ate thickness before decorating the charge.
Doubt is expressed by several naval officers
as to the utility of this invention.
