NEW YORK. March 2l.-Third Avenue
Railroad stock continued 10 command a
premium in the loan market today. an
Indication that the short account. while
doubtless heavily reduced, is as yet not
altogether eliminated The tockagain occu-
pied the most conspicuous position in the
market. an early advance of over ten
points taking place in the stock in the
initial dealings. Conjecture as to the
losses and the more extensive losers was
again active. and the interest felt in this
regard seemed TO be rather more acute
than that taken in the actual future of
the property. Little or nothing that was
new in this last regard developed with
the course of the day. The moral effect
of the Third Avenue episode was plainly
reflected in the general dealings. Not only
was there further heavy covering Of short
contracts in various quarters Of the market
but there was a marked increase N out
side interest. and, further more agrees
sive manipulation in certain directions
than has bsen witnessed in many months
Little that was new of general Importance
developed.
The money market was active. but most
at yesterdays level. London houses traded
very actively in this market, and On bal
ances purchased a round amount of inter
nationally listed stocks The more extern
sive movements in prices were again in
local traction issues and in stocks such as
Peoples Gas, and others of a more or
less speculative grade, but material ad-
vances were scored also in the railway
list The conspicuous features there were
Southern Pacific. the Baltimore and Ohio
issues, particularly the common stock.
Wheeling and Lake Erie and Northern
Pacific. The favorable interest taken in
these securities seemed to be based alto
gether upon consideration of their earn
ing power and consequent possible dividend
payments. The particular strength of
Northern Pacific common was attended by
statements that the management of the
company regarded its position as suffi-
GENTLY assured to place the common stock
upon a definite per cent basis Appear
anees of irregularity were not wanting
in the market. and the days dealings were
indeed marked by some uncertainty and
by some rather ierky fluctuations. 4 much
more cheerful temper however was dis
cernibie, and this was reflected in the
general diversification of business and
other evidences of a broadening outside
interest

the disappointment was pleasant one.

that after the fireworks of Tuesday there
would be a decided reaction that would
carry prices back TO near the level of

chief performer of Tuesday. continued on
its upward course until 1l2 was reached,

securities reach their highest prices on
record. Union Pacific common, Atchison

ern common. Southern preferred and
Baltimore and Ohio common all reached
top-notch levels. Many other stocks
made the highest prices of the year and
nearly all made net gains for the day and
closed al about the best of the week. The
outlook for an important advance during
the remainder of the spring months be-
comes brighter with every day that the
present little boom is continued. 1t could
be seen yesterday that large orders for
outsiders were coming into the market
and that the professionals were taking a
much less important part in making
