New York, March 8.-strength pre-
vailed nearly all day in the stock market,
shares The effect of extensive realizing
was not felt until near the close, when
the tone was easy, but recessions stiIl left
material advances in many stocks. Lon
don, after some early purchases, sold
freely on the advance here, but the stock
was well taken. Sterling exchange was
strong and the money easier. Call money,
which had touched per cent, was loaned
at the close at 4. An incident bringing
forth favorable comment was the week S
increase of nearly a million in exports OF
merchandise. Practically the only lag
CARDS in the list were the Morgan stocks,
including the coalers, Louisville, Atchison
preferred and Manhattan. The latter was
weak on threatened increased competi-
ton by the underground road which the
Metropolitan company offered to con-
struct Metropolitan jumped to 269 at the
opening on the assumption that 1t would
profit By an underground railway, being
thus relieved of the long haul on its sur
face cars. The stock later lost points
of its advance. The conspicuous strength
of Northwest. which made a net advance
of IA points after an extreme advance OF
8 points more, had good effect on other
railways, particularly the Nanderbllts ana
PacificS. Omaha rising points. The de-
crease Of February surplus earnings for
Burlington had a momentary depressing
effect on the stock, but it closed at about
the best. Sugar, on comparatively mod
crate dealings rose ~, retaining more
than half of its advance Tobacco stocks
We're sharply advanced in anticipation Of
the Increased capitalization Of the Amer
lean Tobacco company at the Stocknoid-
ers' meeting today. Brooklyn Transit ad-
Vanced points and Consolidated Gas I,
while American Tin Plate and People s
Gas also showed strength. One reason as
signed for the strength in a number of the
standard railways was the reinvestment
of money received by the sale of Chicago
6, Alton stock to the purchasing syndl-
cate. The advance in Northwest, Union
Pacific and New York Central was
coupled in some quarters with expressions
of confidence that the road would be
amalgamated, although this story recently
met emphatic denials from the Vanderbilt
q. S. old Is and the 5s advanced 4 in the
