ern Makes II Ten-POint Advance
and 500" Rose 5 Points.

New York, Feb. 17.-EThe stock market
opened moderately active and firm and there
was an absence of any distinctive feature to
the dealings. Small gains were made by
most OF the leading stocks including Man
haitian, Amalgamated Copper, Reading, Met
ropolitan Street Railway and Sugar Brook-
Ign Transit was a little lower and General
Eelectric rose point. Room traders bought
the stocks which had the best support at
the opening and there was some bidding up OF
low priced stocks, which strengthened prices
all around. Improvements reached from /
to las in Amalgamated, Sugar, Metropolitan,
Manhattan, Biscuit, Pacific Mail. Great
Northern preferred and Chicago, Indianapolis
Louisville. A sharp rise in raw copper
abroad induced buying Of Amalgamated and
Metropolitan Street Railway was taken on
the optimistic views of the president of the
road regarding the values Of the new secur-
ties There was but little doing in railroad
stocks and business was curtailed by tho
storm. Proft-taklng forced the prices off
later for time, but the market frmeG up
again when Sugar was marked up to 1904 on
the announcement of a fve-point advance in
refined sugar.
Stocks showed some irregularities n;idens
to realizing and the bidding up Of new fea-
lures. The fluctuations in the leaders were
snall and there was no decided buying or
setlrs to influence sentiment. The United
oset'S" 'SSCCA SkOEkS SdlueQ lIdCtlOuS. Bur

additional unexplained advance of, ~ points
on two transactions. 500, Toledo, st. Louis

Sloss-Shefheld, Tennessee Coal, Union Bag,
SNUFF preferred Twin City Rapid Transit and
Virginia-Carolina Chemical rose 1@2k and
500 preferred gained 4.
only few stocks showed movements of any
note. 500 preferred extended it's rise to 5.
Chicago. indianapolis & Louisville, Northwest
and Lackawanna gained 2 to az, and Union
Bag preferred a point. Sugar was marked up
IN over Saturdays close to 130A, but other
leading stocks were lifeless. The Union Bag
stocks continued upward and gained points
each in all. The inertness Of the market was
demonstrated by the fact that none Of the
Western, Pacific, Southwestern, or active coal
stocks exceeded half point range. General
Electrict reacted points.
The market hardened with q rise to 1907
in Sugar. Advances Of a point or moro were
made by Reading common and second pre-
ferred Missouri Pacific, Wabash preferred,
Kansas City Southern preferred, Smelling
preferred and Distilling preferred and Texas
Land Trust gained 2. There was decline
of a point in Lake Erie & Western, Third Ave
nue. and Westinghouse Electric and United

and irregular. ~

New York to Watson: .'The bad bank
statement had little effect on the strength OF
the market. London being generally higher,
the Railway list and Stees should be strong
to-day. Metropolitan will be the leading
feature Many wires are down and brokers
and clerks are detained by bad weather,
which will cause delays bith in receiving and
executing orders.
New York to G. E. Lewis: ''London mar
ket irregular. Snow delaying wires in all
sections. The press criticisms Of Metropoli-
tan financing moderately favorable. Louis
willie & Nashville will make important addi-
lions to the road in Kentucky and the south.
Early advance In refined sugar expected.

New York to Edwards, Wood & Co.: "There
has been nothing in the general situation
calculated to change the outlook. and the re-
suit has been the maintenance of confidence
