STOCK DEALINGS
 AGAIN EXPANDED Speculation Shows Great Va riety and Animation UPWARD MOVE PREDICTED United States Steel Stocks Heavily Absorbed as Result of Reports of
 Bucyant Conditions In
 Iron and Steel.
UPWARD MOVE PREDICTED

New York. March 2-Dealings of the stock exchange expanded again today, and speculation showed great variety and animation. but the qualms of the di- gestiye process made themselves evident in some of the days movements.
 The start was very generally upward owing to the impression caused by the decided upward movement with which the dealings ended yesterday, specula- tive liquidation being apparently com pleted, and the position of the market thus strengthened by the clearing out Of the weak accounts, and by the at fractions offered in the lower level of prices, confidence was quite general that the upward movement was to be re- stunned in force. It vas this sentiment that induced the spurt at the opening on accumulations of buying orders. Lut there developed an apprehension that there might be large speculative liqui- dation still watching for an opportu- nifty.
 This impression was not entirely elim- mated during the day, although there were plenty of strong features in the market in influential stocks. The accu- mutation of Erie especially was of large Influence on sentiment, owing to an ele- ment of mystery in 1t, and to the vague ness of intimations that important an- nouncements affecting a railroad deal, were to be expected in which that prop erty would figure. Apparently there is nothing which impresses the speculative mind in the current stock market to the same extent, as the idea of a railroad merger. The new form of the rumor was of more importance in it's influence. owing to the waning of the effects of recent stories coupling. New York Cen tral and Union Pacific. With the excep- ton of the opening bulge, those two stocks were rather distinctly under pres Sure throughout the day.
 On account of the very large specula- ton of the advance, which has followed those evidences of their reaction, are of widespread effect Reading joined with Erie in the advance, but the other trunk lines were inclined to come under the Influence of the realizing in New York Central. Pennsylvania's large increase in net earnings for January over these of the previous year, was ineffective to change this condition, partly mo doubt owing to the pocr showing of last year, with which the comparison is made. Fear that the rate-cutting over export grain business would extend to import traffic, and would involve the eastern trunk lines was an element in the trad Ing
 The United States steel stocks were heavily absorbed as a result of the re- ports of buoyant conditions in the iron and steel market, and their strength was an important sustaining influence In the whole market. Striking movements were made in the southern group of rail

 There were several special features in- cludng Consolidated Gas, Sugar. Louis vile and Nashville, Steel common and preferred Cast Iron Pipe, Reading, Loco- motive, in fact all the stocks were quite strong.
 During the day there was heavy real izing In Union Pacific and Southern Pa- cifc and Pennsylvania. But notwith- standing the heavy selling in these stocks, the market was very strong all day with only slight reactions.
 The buying In Union Pacific. on a scale down, was excellent and we look for very much higher prices Tn the near future.
 Rather a vigorous selling moveemnt started around o'clock, the market took all this selling in very good shape and about 2:3O under the influence of the buy ing in Sugar, the entire market strength ened and Sugar had almost one of its old fashioned moves, ? it does every year at this time, due to the closing of Con gross, and large purchases of Sugar for use In the canning industries.

An Incident That Gives an InsiEh!
Into Russian Character.

An Incident That Gives an lns1En1
Into Russian Character.
a few years ago was taking q
country walk in KoTno. The road lay
through a dense forest, and the day
was oppressirely hot. I arrived at last
at crossroad and sat down under the
shade Of the trees to rest. A signpost
pointed its two arms down the con-
yerging roads. On one Of them was in
scribed "14 yersts to Janova," on the
other III versts to Shadowa." Present
IL the creaking of wheels and the slow
"clop, clop" of a horses hoofs on the
road behind reused me. A cart piled
high with tinware was ccning down
the road, with the driver 2erched on
the top Of the load.
Good day, trother," I called out as
the cart, with its sorry horse, came
abreast Of me. The man returned my
salute, and the horse.' glad Of any ez-
cuse to rest his weary legs, came to q
standstill in the middle Of the road.
(Which way are you going" asked
s'To Janova. There is a market there
tomorrow
"But there is also a market in Sha'
dowa," I answered, "and it is more
important place than JanoTa."
$50 it is, so it isl the driver replied,
with perfect Indifference.
''What have you for sale!"
"Plenty Of good tinware, as you can
