Austin. Tex, March 5.-The Senate this
morning, after considerable discussion, post
poned until Thursday its special order set
for to-day for debating a measure prohib-
iting the operation of double-header trains.
Postponement was had on account of the
absence of several Senators who desired a
hearing on the bill.
Considerable time was devoted to a discus
sion of the Senate bill prohibiting the play
ing of cards or any game for money in any
place save a private residence, the private
residence clause being a committee amend
ment which precipitated a fight on the
grounds that it revoked all privileges in
public places. but permitted them in private

New York, March 5.-In a very narrow
market, American stocks in London to-day
advanced on stronger prices here. but there
was very little stock for sale and arbi-
TRACE houses did not reap much benefit by
the advance. The general market was
steady, and consols unchanged at 91itc.
There was a decline in Paris exchange on
London, but no tendency toward SITTER
money rates in the latter center. 1t was
expected. however. that there will be a
more active demand later IN the spring.
There was no Chinese or South African
news of sufficient moment to affect the
markets.
In the local market the bullish senti-
! ment developed on Monday was again ap-
4arent. and prices generally advanced. The
very fine showing made IN the Pennsylva-
mia annual report had a healthy effect all
round. and caused a 2-point advance in that
stock. There was also a sympathetic move
ment in stocks controlled by that road. par
ticularly Chesapeake and Norfolk. Union

buying said to be for an important bank
ing interest, and insiders professed them
selves very bulliSh on the stock. The road

preferred dividend. The buying in Ontario

character. and did not indicate any anN-
1ety as to the labor situation.

OF coffee all round had a favorable eff

and Morgan interests were reported to be
buying the new United States Steel COM
mon. Franchise stocks like Consolidated
Gas and the fractions were firm. with an
advancing tendency.
The rapid advance in Burlington and the
very large buying was the feature of the
last hours trading, and was based upon re-
ports Of a closer union with Northern Pa
ctic. The rumors are credited in quarters
generally well informed. All the grangers
benefited sympathetically by this strength.
The tone was generally strong. and it was
believed that the large interests in the
