all the available space. The back wall

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. March 10.--The breadth
as we'll as the strength of today's mar
ket was very notable. While many
low grade and obscure stocks were
numbered amongst the gamers, the
standard dividend railroad paying
stocks showed revived activity and
strength and gave tone to the whole
market. The trunk lines ard pacifics
particularly came into prominence ana
great activity. The absorption OF
Pennsylyania was on very large
scale. So widespread was the advanc-
ing tendency that the heavy spots are
more easily noted at the exceptions
to the rule Some of these were al
fected by realizing following advances
Yesterday, which was especially the
case with Reading. Others were held
able to throw off in spite of the active
advances elsewhere. The United
states Steel stocks are conspicuous ex-
amples. In few cases there were
reports of special applications such as
that the dividend on Chesapeake q
Ohio was to be raised to four per cent
that the preferred stock of Hooking
Valley was to be retired and that
Amalgamated Copper was to begin the
issuance of periodical reports of earn
ings and financial conditions. The
DAYS movement was plainly due for
the most part, however, to general
considerations. The extraordinary
ease of money is given most import.
ance in the general field, but is eff
fectively supplemented by the reports
of the prosperous conditions In trade
and industry.
Peace prospects continue to form an
element in the strength of markets.
The buying of Chesapeake & Ohio be,
came much excited in the late dealings
on the rise to a record level at 5S.
This served to check the rather irreg-
ular tendency which had developed on
