DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Opening Marked by Small Advances Though Dealings
Were Not of Large Volume-Sugar Strong-But
Little Done in Steel Shares.

NEW YORK. March 1S.-The stock
market opened at advances in COMPARE
son with last Nights final figures of
from 4 TO y point. While the deal
ings were not in large volume. they
were fairly well distributed through
the various quarters Of the market.
American stocks we're shown at irTegu-
lar changes in the London market with
advances predominating. Foreign houses
were. however. again inactive in local
dealings.
Apart from the discussion with re-
spect 10 the Southern Pacific situation
and money market conditions. there was
little OF interest in the morning news.
No novel developments in either re-
spect came TO light this morning.
Active features OF the early dealiugs
were Southern Pacific. Union Pacific.
Atchison, Manhattan and Amalgamated
Copper. Another advance in the price OF
the copper metal IN the London market
was announced in this mornings cables
There was quite active trading in The
shares of the Corn Products Company
based upon the 4 per cent dividend de-
clared on that stock after the close Of
business yesterday Sugar Refining was
strong, but comparatively little was
done in the United State Steel shares.
The first transactions OF Tennessee
Coal and Iron were at an advance of
per cent. Reading. Southern Pacific
St Paul. and Wabash issues ruled y
to x higher. There was slight pressure
or Union Pacific causing st 70 lose a
The market at FIRST was quite active
but the volume Of trading did not hold
well, and after ten minutes the market
was comparatively quiet The advance
in Pacific stocks was no more than frac-
tionaL There appeared to be some buy

cent on brighter prospects for the
avoidance of a strike on the New Haven
Railroad. Reading continued to show
strength. and Delaware and Hudson adj
vanced nearly per cent on expecta-
ton that the report Of the coal strike
commission would be favorable to the
operators side Canadian Pacific rose
over a point on the company's victory
over its striking employees. Somewhat
sympathetically, there was decided i'm
provement in the 500 issues. Gains OF
substantial fractions we're general
throughout the railway list.
Among the industrials. Sugar gained
over per cent on suggestions of ratifl-
cation Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty
without requiring a reference TO the
House OF Representatives. Tennessee
Coal and Iron rose point on purchases
stimulated by favorable reports of March
earnings. United States Steel stocks
were frmer General Electric gained
nearly per cent, and Corn Products
rose over 1 per cent. Consolidated Gas
was higher Amalgamated Copper wa
stronger on a reported advance in Tho
price of metal. but subsequently the
tone was somewhat unsettled. Anacon-
ia after an advance Of per cent LOST
nearly all the gain. The local traction
group shared in the general strength.
London traded lightly this morning
about Il. 900 shares all told. but this
was almost entirely on the buyers side
A large proportion Of the stock taken
was Erie common. The market ruled
strong all the forenoon on a rather mar
row basis. The outside absorption o.
stocks which is responsible for the gen
eral hardening tendency is thoroughly
scattered and light. and exerts its in
Guence because offerings are small. with
no pressure OF floating supplies. Anal
gamated was rather heavy. Pool brok-
ers have bought several lots of from

canoe has been given 10 It. II has been
suggested that the purpose of the trans

believe this was in any way an infuenc-
ing cause. Under the recent act OF
Congress the Attorney General has the
power TO direct that cases similar TO
the Northern Securities case be advance

Despite some very positive denials.
there is some evidence that the Gould
interests know something about the re-
Gently Incorporated Western Pacific
Railway Company which is to be built
from Salt Lake City TO san Francisco.
Dispatches from san Francisco some two
weeks ago asserted very positively that
the GoUlds were planning for new
transcontinental line, and that they
were the actual hackers of the Western
Pacific This assertion was character
lied as foolish by certain officers Of the
Western Gould roads, but it is evident
Southern Pacific is not convinced that
the Gould interests have no finger in the
pie 1t is making a particularly vigor-
Gus campaign against the projected road,
and thus far has succeeded in defeating
its attempt TO secure terminals on the
water front II the dispatches from the
Golden Gate are accurate. a very lively
fight is in prospect.

at present are a little easier than those
of last week. but the Improvement.
which has taken place is not sufficient
as yet to warrant the expectation of
the development of any active Dull
speculation.
The best thing in the market at pres
ent seeming to favor some degree of
irmness or slight rallies, is the i'm
provement in the technical speculative
position from it's apparently sold-out
condition. and the presence Of a fairly
large short interest These conditions
have been noted the last two days by the
trading element, and it has occasiored
much covering of shorts in various
quarters. but the short interest is still
comparatively large.
Slightly easier conditions in the money
market. and the prospect of another
moderately favorable bank staten ent
next Saturday. may keep the markets
undertone steady.

II is reported that most of the buying

There is a score of interesting pro-
positions and possibilities that may be
evolved from the present situation in
Southern Pacific, but the course of
events between now and the time Of the
annual meeting will necessarily have
an important influence on ali Of them.
Furthermore. the plans of the pool. or
rather the minority stockholders. to ac-
cept the distinction which the pool has
made, are not fully known and neither
is the exact purpose of their present
tactics. Since the prime question in
volved is how to get the pool through
without loss. some try TO conjure up
the possibilities in the event OF the
Aeene-Taylor combination getting con-
troll.
II Union Pacific could not vote its
stock there would be no reason why IL
should hold it, and IL $50. O0O coo Of II
were thrown on the market. Southern
Pacific stock would probably sell at 30

the minority faction is not sanguine OF
getting control, and neither is IL de-
sirous of so doing. So far as getting
representation on the board through
cumulative voting. it is not evident tina;
that would avail much II an injunc-
ton be refused, as it is generally be-
lieved that il viii be, the cumulative
voting of 2S0. 900 shares out OF total OF

sentation. Certainly the number of di-
rectors that could be elected would be
very small.
