WON'T LET THE CARS RUN
Right in Syracuse Between the City
and Street RaiIrond Compnny


Syracuse, n. Y, March 26.-The trouble
between the city officials and the Rapid
Transit Railway Company, controlling all
OF the local surface lines eliminated last
evening in the stoppage of traffic on the
entire system. The conflict started last
week on account Of the refusal of the COM
pany to pay certain, taxes due the city
The company recently adopted some new
rules regarding transfers and the running
OF cars, which proved unsatisfactory to the
public 1t was asked by the mayor and
chamber OF commerce to change these
rules. but it paid no attention to the re-
quest. The mayor then gave notice that he
would enforce every ordinance touching the
speed of the cars and their sanitary condi-
tion, and would bring into effect many
laws which have for a long time been con-
sldered dead letters. 80
Saturday night there was a snowfall OF
over SIX lnches, and this gave the mayor
an unlocked for opportunity Yesterday
morning the company had out its snow
plows. which resulted in the company pil-
ing of the snow beside the tracks to
considerable height. An ordinance says
that the snow shall be carted away. and.
this, not being done. the commissioner of
public works was ordered to get out his
men and shovel the snow back on the
tracks. So effeCtually was this carried out
that in less than an hour after the order
was issued almost the entire system was
tied up.
When the motormen and conductors at
tempted to move their cars they were ar
rested and taken TO police headquarters
for violating city ordinance All of the
cars carried small plows. which would
shovel the snow from the track as fast as
1t was shoveled or. The men were after

PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE.
Stock Market Advances With Re
marknbIc NigOr and Uniformity.

New York, Jan. 9.-The advance in the
stock market was resumed this morning
with more vigor and uniformity than has
been shown at any time during the new
year, with the possible exception of the
last half hour of business on Saturday.
To great extent this mornings market
was a reflection OF the same influence that
produced the lively advance of Saturday,
namely. the strong position of the local
banks, as was revealed in the statement
of averages then published.
Aside from this and the appreciation
that the country begins the year with its
general trade upon an unprecedented scale
of activity, there was little in the oitside
situation to engage attention. Speculative
sentiment refuses to accept the singular
situation in the Philippines as possi-
BILE menace to the market and it Will not
logically become such unless a heavy in
crease in Government expenditures arises.
However that may be, the news over
Sunday contained nothing else of char
acter likely TO affect sentiment unfaVor-
ably, and with financial discussion confined
10 the money market and the trade s.tua-
tion. the conclusions reached were natur-
ally optimistic.
While the foreign arbitrage houses
were free sellers of stocks in this market
owing to the rapid rise in prices above
the London parity the cabled advices re-
ported that the American market there
was monopo!zing speculative interest IN
London, and the trading was described as
rampant.
The Indifference shown in the local mar
ket to the disposition of the foreign oper-
ations was illustrated by the fact that the
Atchison shares were the leaders here in
all respects, although it was in these stocks
81, hn 10
other stocks, notably the Union Pacific
shares and Louisville and Nashville, were
depressed in the mornings dealings under
the foreign selling, but they also rallied
later on in the day.
The granger shares were fairly active
and firm, although occupying minor place
in both respects in comparison with other
quarters of the market. COnspicuously
strong stocks were the Northern Pacifics,
Chesapeake and Ohio, the ST. Louis South
western shares and Manhattan Sugar Re
iinng, which resumed the leadership of the
industrial stocks in a sharp advance. which
was superficially, at least, based on un-
founded assertions that former Gov. Ros-
well p. Flower would enter the directory of
the company.
Another explanation of the advance was
the temperance of a premium for the
stock in the loan crowd, and yet another
was the reopening of a refinery heretofore
operated in sympathy with the American
company This was assumed to mean that
trade conditions were not so bad as has
been represented.
The other Industrial shares furnished a
fair quota OF the dealings. but they by no
means Overshadowed the demand of the
market and indeed the trading in their
cases was subordinate to that in the rail-
way list There was no abatement in the
activity with the course of the day, the
trading being animated up to the close of
business when the market was quoted al or
about the highest prices of the day.
