New York, March SO.-There was dis
unctly better tone to the market for Sc
| curitieS to-day. The apprehension in re-
lation to the recent decision of the su-
| preme court disappointed, in a measure
| because of the announcement that the
! leading officials of the western railroad
associations had given orders to the
! freight agents to maintain rates and also
| because of statements which were after
wards confirmed that the counsel for the
Joint Traffic Association would advise the
| continuance of the association until the
supreme court had an opportunity to pass
| upon its legality. Only one reaction of
| Importance occurred during the session
and that was in sympathy with the sud
den break in Jersey Central to 50 on a
| revival of the rumors recently current
that the dividend will be reduced. 1t is
to be said that even this failed to dis
| lodge long stocks in any considerable
amount, and the decline from the highest
of the morning was only Il to ~ per cent
outside of Leather prf., which broke rs
| to 55A Near the close speculation devel-
| oped renewed strength on the announce
ment from Washington that an amended
railway pooling bill had been introduced
in the Senate by Senator Foraker and
that strong efforts were making to have
! that bill become a law. On this there was
| fresh movement to cover shorts and the
market closed strong in tone. Net
| changes show advances of Il to 215 per
cent, led by Rock Island. Jersey Central
was an exception and closed 21a lower. To-
tai sales were 231, SS5 shares, including 81
600 Sugar, 1850 Burlington. 1900 Jersey
Central, 1900 st. Paul, 10000 Rock Is
| land and 400 Tobacco. The bond market
was higher. The sales amounted to ST.
| $4,000.
