Of Crete and prevent Greece from pre-
cipitating war with Turkey and the
Balkan states from joining In the
melee.
This seems about the view enter
talned by intelligent observers in Wall
street. and London and Paris appear
% regard this as the direction In which
the probabilities largely preponderate.
Upon this basis operators here show
a disposition to follow the strong drift
Of the market toward higher prices.
Since Wednesday much more buoyani
feeling has been developed. There is
system IN operation which seems to
suggest a cooperative effort TO give
the market a general lift throughout
the list. One stock after another f.
taken up In an apparently precon-
erted order Large purchases by the
Vanderbilt following appear 20 have
given the cue to the market: and the
readiness with which that lead f. fol-
lowed by others Indicates that the
rising tendency which set in during
the latter half Of the week Is some
thing more than a momentary spurt.
It receives more support than appears
on the surface from the opening Of
congress. The special session conveys
the feeling that the new adminlstra-
tion has taken hold OF practical legis-
lation with a win and is in earnest
to remedy the evil conditions from
which the country has been so long
suffering There Is something inspir-
itlng in the assurances thus conveyed
that there viii be a speedy end 10
the deficiencies Of revenue and to the
embarTassments OF the treasury. The
new tariff legislation. though eleciting
sharp differences Of opinion at the
outset. inspires confidence In the mer-
camille circles by the promise that
the outcome will be a revival OF our
industries under the policy that, up
to 1898, had made the country thriving
and prosperous. The result OF all this
is to dispel the discouraging conscious
ness Of being surrounded by abnormal
conditions and dubious policies, and
TO produce that feeling Of settledness
which encourages the steady pursuit
OF business. All this is wholesome
and conducive TO confidence. and the
past week has given US foretaste
OF the better times which It all por-
tends Wall street is not likely to
fail to respond TO these new conditions.

RAILROAD WAR.
Is Threatened by the Breaking Up Of
the Association.

Chicago March 25.--chicago & North
western. Missouri Pacific and St Louis
and san Francisco filed notices of
withdrawal today from all traffic asso-
Citations of which they were members.
The ST Louis Air Line also withdrew
from the Southern States Association,
Of which it was a member. A meet
ing OF the executive officers Of the
Western roads was held today at the
Office of the third vice president of the
Santa Fe to talk over the situation.
At the close. however, IL was an
nounced that no concerted action had
been decided upon and none was likely
to be. The more the decision Of the
supreme court is considered the more
clearly does IT appear that not a vest
ige Of ground is left the traffic associa-
tions. as they have heretofore been
conducted. on which to stand. All
that now remains for the roat.s to do
is to direct their energies to securing
legislation that will open some way
for them to conserve their interests
and prevent their revenues from being
dissipated by mad competition.
As yet no rate-cutting has been re-
sorted to, The roads are attending 10
routine business and seem to be afraid
10 take aggressive action of any kind.
