touched since the Boer war. This action had been so long deferred that some fears had been obtained that the extra ordinary demands upon capital had made the reduction unfeasible. The lowering of the rate Is equivalent to a proclama- tion that urgent requirements upon cap ital have been met and that relaxing money conditions in the worlds money market are to be looked for.
 An encouraging view of the fall-plant- ed wheat crop was a factor in the mar ket. News from the seat of war was &C., cepted as promising an early peace, and was of strengthening effect on stock mar kets. London bought stocks here at the opening, but sold on the rise. The real izing on the advance made some altera- tion on the days best prices, and Read ing especially met such heavy pressure just below par that it fell back to below last night. The closing deals were in consequence slightly irregular.

REVIVAL SHOWN
 IN STOCK MARKET Railroad Stocks are Prominer f
 Factors of Day RUMORS OF MERGERS HEARD United States Steel Stocks Were Again Comparatively Laseard, Although
 Trade Reports Continue
 Brilliant.
RUMORs OF MERGERS HEARD

New York, March 9.-There was a dis tinct revival of enthusiasm in stocks to- day, and a considerable expansion in compartment.
 The next effective factors upon senti- ment was the awakened strength in the group of railroad stocks which have figured in the most industriously circu- lated rumors in regard to the combina- tons and mergers. The entire quiescence Of this group ever since the announce ment of the Northern securities decision, has been damper upon the speculative spirit as the plans concerning these prop critics were supposed to be awaiting for that decision to be promulgated There was no authoritative news regarding the plans today, but the demand for the stocks relieved the market from some of the oppressive influence due to their lethargy. Yesterdays active speculative movement in Reading was also carried over into today's dealings, and that stock was run up into a shade of par. The only motive assigned for the rise was a rumor that the dividend rate Wo1iu pe duFdnceu tO per cent. bc- yend this. it was alleged that the float ing supply of the stock has been so far reduced as to make 1t readily responsive to market operations as has been demon strated by the repeated success of par ties formed to operate in 1t within the last few months.
 The present move is ascribed to the same sources. There was a very strik- ing movement also in a group of the metal stocks lead by smelting. Amalga- mated copper was a conspicuous figure in the same group. Dividend rumors played their part in this movement also and were supplemented with merger ru- mors affecting the leading industry. The spurt in Anaeonda, Amalgamated cop per's controlled stock, pointed to the source from which the present stock is to benefit by supposed dividend in- crease. Reports from the copper trade were bright and copper stocks were strong in all of the worlds great mar kets.
 The United States Steel stocks were again comparatively laggard. although reports from the trade continued bril- liant. Canadian Pacific was supposed to be benentting from large earnings by itself, and it's controlled properties, all of which moved up in company. The special demand for Atchison in the lean crowd pointed to an outstanding short interest as the source of some of the demand for it. The favorable ground work to which the various operations owed their sue cess had as their principal element the reduction in the official discount rate of the Bank of England from 8 per cent to R1k per cent, 8 rate lower than has been

 Spite of Higher Spot
 Marketo.
WALL STREET SHORTS BUY

New York, March 9-The cotton mar ket was moderately active as compared with recent standards, but after early firmness turned easier under realizing and local bear pressure and closed within a point or two of the bottom. The open ing was steady at an advance of to points in response to better cables and further rains in the south. In spite of indications for clearing weather tonight and tomorrow and large estimates for to- morrow's receipts, the market, following the call, continued to advance on a little demand from spot houses and buying att tributed to leading Wall street shorts. After working up to net advance of about to points, or around 7.57 for May, offerings increased owing to the profit taking of yesterdays buyers, and In the afternoon some of the local scapers took the short side in what the room thought to be an effort to shak out some recently formed long accounts. The mar l1et yielded slowly to pressure, but grad ually worked off, notwithstanding reports of higher spot markets in the south, with prices just about losing the gains of the previous day. The close was steady at net decline of to points. Sales were estimated at about 15O,0OO bales.
 Receipts at the ports today, ,s42 bales, against 1s,54S last week and 4,o64 last year For the week (estimated). 100000 bales, against 157,Sl7 last week and 51,2S last year.
 Todays receipts ct New Orleans. 75S2 bales, against 1727 last year, and at Hous- ton 7O5s bales, against 12S2 last year.
