New DIRK, March 5.-The course Of the

surprise to the general run of traders
The further decline in consols and the
fact that American securities in I.on1

of our closing yesterday naturally led TO
the belief that considerable depress ion
would characterize dealings in the mar
kets for securities here. The bears en-
deavorcd to use the foreign news to their
advantage and promptly attacked the list
ut the opening, but they met with very
poor success, and after merely fractional
concessions the market started up in II
lively fashion. 1t was evident that the
powers behind the market were above the
average in influence. The strength of
the Vanderbilt group also had II reassllr-

After the first bulge which took place,
there was II reaction. but finally the pit
