Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 16.-The trading in
today's stock was liberal In volume. and
reflected continued confidence in higher
prices. London sent over a slightly lower
range or prices as a result OF the clash in
China, but locally that condition failed to
make any impression. The effort on the
part OF the leaders to insist upon a recog-
milton of the miners union and to compel
the operators to attend the convention
were factors tending to restrain new trad
ing in the coal stocks.
This group was not weak however and
some rather favorable developments are
expected during the coming week. The
chief feature of the day was a sharp ad-
vance in Burlington. Manipulation was
pronounced at times and some forced COW
ering was responsible for the sudden rise
above 100. The artificial character of the
advance was demonstrated by a sudden
setback of 3 per cent but at the decline
the pool again began to buy and made the
closing strong
The same lack of confirmation as to any
deal exists, but the street is convinced that
some development of extraordinary i'm
portance is pending. The buying of Illinois
Central was extremely good, and is be-
l1eved to reflect a conservative investment
the theory that several smaller roads are
to be acquired
Some good buying of the low-priced
SHARES was reported, but the Southwestern
group seemed to be purposely neglected
many OF the absentees are returning from
the south and next week should be an ac-
tive one in the speciaities.
The market has demonstrated its capa city
TOT endurance and will respond easily to
any new demand. The industrial depart
ment IS only secondary feature of the
market, but the buying of Tobacco is at
tractlng considerable following Wash
lngton houses are considerable buyers Of

Rumors Of an increased dividend next

MARKETS FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS.
oDoect or Mr.. PearsOn's Mission to the
West Indies.

Raymond A. Pearson of the dairy diyi-
sion OF the Department Of Agriculture left
washington yesterday for Porto Rico. Act
ing under instructions from the Secretary
OF Agriculture, Mr.. Pearson will seek to
broaden the market for American dairy
products In speaking today of the mis-
sion OF Mr.. Pearson Secretary Wilson said
that the United States sells COW feed to
Denmark and Denmark sells butter and
cheese throughout the world She sells
$50 100000 worth of dairy products each
year to the people Of Great Britain" said
the Secretary. She sells these GOODS in
the China seas and the islands of the Carri-
bean. She sells large quantities of cheese
and butter to the Inhabitants of our own
lnsuiar possessions. / propose that the
market for American dairy products shall
be extended. have instructed Mr. Pear
son to take along with him butter and to
send for all he needs, and to open uD spen-
cies for the sale of it Throughout PORTO
Rico. Coming back, 1 have instructed him
to stop in San Domingo, Haiti and Cuha.
In those places he is to open up agencies
where American cheese and butter NAV be
bought. 1 want American COW feed fed
to American cows and the dairy product
sold by Americans rather than that Ameri-
cans shall sell corn, oil cake, etc. to the
Dane that the Dane may control the mar
ket for dairy products"

KEEPING TAB on COLLECTORS.
Electrical Devices Attached to Street
Letter Boxes.


Six street letter boxes connected by q
system OF electrical devices for the purpose
OF detecting neglect on the part of mail
carriers were placed in position on Pennsyl-
vania avenue between Sth and 18th streets
this afternoon. The new boxes are tenn
porarily covered with white canvas to pre-
vent the deposit Of mail.
A device is attached to each box and
registers at the central Office the exact
time Of the collectors call. An automatic
locking Of the boxes effectually prevents
the collector from skipping one box and
taking the next. They must be taken In
rotation, beginning always with the first
box. The time and number of the carrier
Is recorded on slip at the central Office,
and by this system 1t Is said, the collec-
tion from each box is not only guaranteed,
but it is possible to locate the carrier at
any time while he is out on his route.
The company owning the patent-rights on
the box have installed a recorder in the
basement of the city post Office. The claim
is made that If the 1.400 boxes In this city
were fitted with this or some similar in
vention it would save thousands of dollars
a year in locks. and more than enough time
to the carriers to give an additional de-
livery daily. trial Of the boxes will be
made tonight.
