New York. March S.-The week opened
with an improved feeling. The markets
| for securities were dominated by the more
| reassuring advices from Crete in regard
| to the Grecian-Turkish complications
! This news received additional value from
the advance of over per cent in British
! consols in London, and from the improve
! ment in continental markets Local oper-
| ators. who sold stocks freely on the clos
| ing days of the last week, on the scare
/ bought freely and prices advanced IA
/ per cent through the list 1t is proper to
| add that in a majority OF instances, the
| higher quotations of the day were OBJ
tanned before the expiration of the first
| hour of business following which there
was a reaction on sales by small traders
/ to realize profits. The upward movement
was also checked for a time by the de-
| velopment of marked weakness in Man
| haitian and Jersey Central The former
fell from SIS to S4lR. on reports
| that the directors. at their meeting to-
! morrow, would reduce the rate of the
/ dividend from per cent. to or per
| cent. per annum. Nothing definite could
| be learned in reference to the matter,
| although it was reported that an element
in the board, including Russell Sage, are
in favor of a reduction to per cent. and
| wanted such reduction three months ago
but were overruled at that time. Jersey
Central dropped from 94il to 92@ partly
! n sympathy with a fall of 2 per cent. in
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre consols Jersey
Central IS also yielded about 2 points.
During the afternoon the stock recovered
to 93A. while Delaware and Hudson adj
vance IL and Reading 70 per cent. The
special feature however, was tobacco,
which suddenly rose per cent. to 777s, on
a material increase in the volume of
business. The dealings in this stock, as
well as in most others, was largely for
professional account New York Central
was favorably influenced by the state
ment for February. which showed an in
crease as compared with the same months
last year. The total transactions were
$4,000 shares. Bonds were strong; sales,
