IsTOcKMARK AGAIN STRONG

General List-colorado and South
ern is Again Strong
and Active.
STOCKMARK ET AGAIN STRONG

The market yesterday was again sttong,
though the advances were in Speciaities
rather than along the whole line. The
Virginia Centuries following the resoiu-
lions of the Constitutional Convention
by which it was declared that State taxes
should not. be above SOC. in the $40 Tor
the next five years. The effect Of this
resolution was to Immediately cause large
offerings Of Century bonds at Sc. both IN
Baltimore and Richmond. without takers.
Prior to the information i'll regard 10
this resolution. Centuries sold IN klc q
mond at 81 and in New York at st1s. St
Paul and Pennsylvania were the features
among the railroads: Both were very &C.
tive on large trading, closing in each
case below the highest, though practi-
cally unchanged from yesterday conal,
lions. Colorado Fuel and Tennessee ,Coai
and Iron both opened strong, but closed q
off towards the end, Colorado Fuel and
Iron selling points lower than yester-
day. Sugar was @ feature, recovering IFS
dividend which had just been declared.
Colorado and Southern was very strong =;
and active at % for the common and IL
for the first preferred and 43 for the sec
ond preferred. American Cotton, on was
strong, selling as high as 43A. There mas
been for some time a rumor that the
company was going to be merged with
others and that the Standard Oil was pc
hind the purchase Of this stock. THESE
reports are, at present, mere rurnorS.
In the local market Seaboard preferred
sold at As, while the Virginia Carolina
Chemical common sold at 6s The e, sam same s,
at 6614 bid, the preferred issue selling at
124@1241a.
Commenting on the general situation
the New York Times says of the big jump
in Colorado Fuel, which advanced 10
points on dealings in twentyfour thou
sand shares on THURSDAY, that the buy
ing orders came principally from house
with which interests connected with the
Colorado Company are identified, and be-
cause of the fact that the stock is very
closely held, it was not a very difficult
matter to advance the prices. John w
Gates was asked whether it was true
that the United States Steel Company
would exchange it's stock on the basis
Of $50 preferred for 100 Colorado Fuel
common. This question Mr.. Gates re-
fused to answer, but said that the Colo
RADIO Coal and, Iron was the cheapest iron
and steel securities in the world He said
that he had never sold a share that he
had bought in this company and that
he did not see why he should sell now.
The closing prices on Thursday showed
Colorado preferred more than 3 points
higher than United States Steel pre-
ferred but Friday the conditions were

NEW YORK, March The stock mar
kc: to-day showed evidence OF conftictlnts
emotions on the part OF the professional
spectators who make Up the present
market; There was something of a Strug-
gle during the early part OF the day TO
keep prices moving upwards, and a NUM-
Der of SpecialtteS snot UP IN the way
which has become so familiar of late.
Others which were violently advanced yes
tcrday showed tendency TO an abrupt re-
lapse. The general active list took its recent
~ sopnoIent condition. suggesting that
the demand from the short interest, which
caused yesterdays sharp rise. had been
satisfied. The notice that 100000 of the
gold engaged for to-morrQws steamer
had been Withdrawn frC:a1 export had o.
mild stimulating effect on the market,
but the later forecast OF to-morrow's
bank statement showed sufficient ground
for apprehension, still remaining OF the
rate of the depletion CT the New York
bank reserves. The report that the CO.
ernment had filed its suit against tns
Northern Securities Company with The
United States Court at St Paul also
been abundently foreseen and presented
no new phase in the case. The preliml-
nary figures of the money movement for
the week indicate that the banks have
lost cash to the extent of nearly 5000
uG0 including the gold exported on IhurS-
day. but not including the See,3oo.o00 which
is 10 go on to-morrow,s steamer
With the present dim tensions OF the de-
post and cash items of the New York
banks, the surplus at its present figure
is almost wholly nominal anyway. and a
variation of few millions has little
effect on the proportion of the reserve.
The hardening tendency OF the money
market is "A convincing evidence. how
ever. that the banks are not anxious at
present to extend their credits. OF the

IRON AND STEEL
Not only is there no improvement to
be recorded IN the ;Ton and steel outlook,
but floods in the PittsburS region added
to the pressure by completely closing
many plants and damaging much costly
machinery. Recent destruction by the
elements makes an unusual demand for
structural material, and on spot business
buyers gladly pay premiums OF Sc a
ton above list prices. Coal shipments
have been curtailed to such. an extent
that dealers supplies are low and quo
tations very strong.
Cotton goods are well sustained. the
stronger raw material giving all the adj
vantage to sellers, but there is much
uncertainty as to the labor situation.
This tends to make the mills conserva-
tive regarding the acceptance of con-
tracts for future delivery.
All staples steadied and some rose
sharply, the net changes for the week
amounting to a considerable advance.
Speculation was quiet, with many
guesses as to the coming report of farm
reserves. For the first time in this
crop season cotton showed an advance
over the price at the corresponding date
last wear, and it is significant that the
higher figure failed to attract heavy sell
ing at the South.
Failures for the week numbered 1I6

year, and II in Canada against &c last

LOSS OF THE WAESLAND.
Behavior of Passengers and Grew Alike Was
Exemplary.
(By Associated Press.}

LIVERPOOL, March Further de-
tolls regarding the collision of the steam
or Harmonides with the Waesland, in
which the latter was sunk, have been
learned When the disaster occurred,
Wednesday night, the two vessels Were
steaminS slowly off the coast Of the Is
land of Angiesey. The Harmonldes
crashed head-on into the Waesand and
Lacked away, but once again struck the
then sinking ship, making a great gap
IL her side.
Though the sea was Perfectly smooth,
the densencss of the fog added to the ter
Tors of the passengers Of the Waesland.
The women rushed On deck screaming,
but were soon reaSSured by the officers.
The boats were quickly lowered, but the
operation resulted in two fatalities. The
enC of one of the life-boats slipped from
its davitt and precipitated the occupants
OF the boat into the sea. A Storage pas
senger, Edward Dangerfield, of Kansas.
struck his head against the boats fittings
and was instantly killed. and Elsie EN-
nett, IL years old, the daughter OF the
Rev. A. Emmett, was drowned. The other
persons who were in the boat were picked
Ut.
The behavior of the passengers, many
of whom we're Scandinavian immigrants,
was exemplary. AS the last boats were
leaving the fast sinking snip. whose decks
nounced that her boilers had burst, and
forty minutes after the first impact the
Waesland gave mighty lurch and dis
appeared beneath the waves, sinking about
midway between Holyhead and Tuskar
Light. Nothing was saved except what
the passengers and crew wore.
The boats containing the passengers
were for a time separated owing to the
fog, but eventually they all reached the
SIDES of the Eiar5nonides and the survivors
we're taken on board that vessel. where
everything possible was done for their
comfort.
They win proceed to Philadelphia We'd
resday on board the Red Star Line
steamer Noordiand.
AS the boat was leaving the ships side
cries for help were heard on board OF
FER and the boat returned and found
that two Of the Waesland's crew had
been left behind. One OF these men haa
slept throughout the time from the first
impact to the last boat leaving the sink
inp steamer and only discovered his peril
cns position when the sea water flooded
his bunk through the porthoies.
