THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

There is no good reason why the stock mar
ket should not sell higher. This view has ap-
parently been adopted by many traders who
evidently in current market and business
conditions factors which add to the intrinsic
worth OF securities. In yesterdays speculative
operations increased dealings throughout the list
were noted Business better distributed
than in many days, and the character Of trading
was impressive. 1t can no longer be denied by
the most ardent bear that the stock market
wants to advance. Why? Because the most
pessimistic bear knows that technical and busi-
ness conditions warrant higher prices; because
the more important capitalists are confident
holders Of stocks; because money is easy and
the country is prosperous. Wall Street has at
last taken the Transvaal at its true valua-
ton as a stock market factor. Wall Street has
ut last reached the conclusion that the financial
and commercial strength of this country rises
superior to foreign political complications.
The stock market showed absolute indifference
TO the Boer war rumors yesterday. This was
due to the fact that the short interest suddenly
discovered that holders of stocks were unwilling
TO sell on reports OF Boer victories. The short
interest doubtless learned that the most i'm
portant money interests in the Street hold
ers OF stocks and unwilling TO sell at current
prices. Much bear stuff is scattered about re-
garding the situation in stocks but it is ex-
the grounds upon which il is supposed to be
based. The bears are putting forth weak argu-
snents for lost cause, and 1t will certainly be
better for their pocketbooks and peace Of mind
IF they end at their tiresome and mean
sngless platitudes. which deceive the weak mind
ed only. Money is easy and it is moving into
bonds. After bonds stocks viii grow active
Adequate evidence Of this was given in yester-
days market.
The upward turn in yesterdays market was
helped by the action of the American Steel and
Wire directors in deciding to pay per cent on
the common stock Active professional buying
of stocks noted at the opening, and the
heavy operations in Steel and Wire had the
effect Of dislodging professional operators in
that and other stocks who had sold short on
the expectation Of further decline incident to
the distressing British situation in South Africa
in the industrial and local transportation shares
the advance was pronounced and while early
strength and activity were followed by dulness,
final dealings reflected a resumption Of PROBES
fional and outside buying OF course, there was
manipulation, but then there never has been a
bull or 8 bear market without manipulation. In
the present instance the bull element has a good
basis for manipulation and 1T is quite likely that
the bear element will realize this to its sorrow
before the month of February has passed

in the armies Of tne two republics. To
use the words of Secretary Reitz's great

to the Colonial Secretary, England has

real object of this conspiracy and war
against the republics Of South Africa has

Berlin March 4.-Regarding the report
cabled from Washington that Secretary
Hay has received assurances from the
German government tsat the.tneaf bill
would be changed, United States Ambas-
sado'r White said to-day that he had no
information to confirm it. but that he eE-

The Executive Committee of the Ger
man Commercial Convention yes erdsy
adopted unanimously a reso. ution against
the committees report on the meat bill
declaring that such a prohibition of meat
imports would considerably injure mea
consumption on the part of a large sec
ton of the nation, particularly the indus
trial masses. The protest concludes as
follows:
I'VE protest on behalf of the industry

The influential Weser Zeitung points out
forcibly that the meat imports, at a con

Dordrecht, Cape Colony Sunday, March
4, a. m.-Gen Brabants Colonial Di-
vision, after a nights march, IS now at
tacking the Beers in strong position at
La Buschagne's nek, on the road from
Dordrechr 10 Jamestown.
Later, the engagement is proceeding
with great vgor, and that the Beers are
gradually retiring before the British shell
fire, from three positions.
A heavy rifle fire is being exchanged
where the British are engaging the Beers
on the right flank.
So far the Beers have had no big guns
in action.
Evening: Gen. Brabants advance to-day
was most satisfactory. After marching
and bvouackng over night, the force
reached the strong entrenched positions
which they occupied and now hofd, che
Beers being on the opposite hill.
The British will remain tonight in the
captured position, although The Beers
brought two guns into action and made
determined efforts to retake them.
The British losses are six killed and
eighteen wounded.
