New York. March i.--rhe stock market was relieved today from urgent pressure to ssa'' sna .ho~sa s"ss a' :Sissncs revived ever. were constsntiy frustrated by an out which turned UT tn the course of prices down wards . number of times during the day after considerable advsnces had been ef- fected.

But the bear party showed no tested in the fierce raids upon prices in yes
 On account of this moderation in the tac- opposing party in following the advance with buying orders the trading was much ouieter than for several days fQast and ther. the days dealings. The demand from shorts to cover was . considerable factor in rally ing prices when the resisting power of the was affected by this factor.

 The movement in them was commonly At- tributed to one strong speculative parties which has been prominent in that group of stocks on previous occasiona There was more substantial basis for the buying of the Fries. found in the excellent showing Of net earnings contained in the January re- ports Other anthracite carriers report ing fo January bore out the evidence of feed by ths Erie and Reading reports of the strong condition in the anthracite trade.
 Amalgamated Copper was figure of strength in spite of the reduced exports of copper for February. Other reports bear. ing on the movement were vague. So were the assertions of improved trade conditions upon which Sugar was advanced. The move supposed to be due to the views of operators on the outlook for legislation affecting these corporations. Reports of large orders for steel rails to the United States Steel Corporation were of moderate effect on these stocks. .'T
 Money was easier and the rate for call loans was lower. The speculative liquida- tion was assigned as the cause of the easier tone of money In part and the passing of the temporary effect of the Southern Pa cific bond transaction was also . factor. Foreign exchange hardened to some extent in response to the money conditions. As the day progressed without the dreaded re newal of pressure of speculative liquidation sentiment showed growth of confidence and the whole tone of the market gained in strength. Related shorts added to the vol. tune of buying and the closing was strons at the best of t.e day and substantial gain over last night

 'T also found." Mir. Southerland said, that the idea of a law against these students started from one man who sent the bill to Senator Davis and the Senator introduced it because 1t came from one of his constituents and did not investigate it.

 happy experience of some March shorts in that market. Rumors of an acreage reduc ton by Miss Giles were circulated but the figures denied with the statement, however. that her report will be made tomorrow morning. As the majority of farmers at the present time have only indistinct ideas or the extent of their planting, fin our opin- ion this report partakes of a mind reading seance and It not worthy of serious consid- eration.
 Advices from many interior points are not entirely in accord in reference to their local spot situation. hut can fairly be summarized in the conclusion that while there Is no great pressure to sell the present basis of prices there is an equal absence of de- mand. -'--- -
