Several plates in a pile beneath the metal were affected. Gravity seemed to play some mysterious art, yet the centrifugal force of a rotation of 2,700 times a minute in a special apparatus did not increase the action on the outer plate.

Land preparation is Inak- ing excellent progress and fertilizer plants no longer complain of scarcity of buying orders. Speculative support is checked by Eelief that there is abundance of cotton to come out any advance and the agi. tating of the reduction in acreage deters aggressive selling, It is therefore possible that scalping market may obtain tempo rariIy. in which event we believe sales on bulges will be safect.

WALL STREET REVIEW
NOr MUCH IMPORTANCE ATTACHED z '~ 10 DEALINGS.
Transactions Comparatively Small and Tone HesitatinE until the Markets Re-
 sisting Power Was Dem onstrated.

New York, March 4 Not much im- portance was lo ached to today's stock mar ket. Dealings were not large and the tone was hesitating until the resisting power or the market was demonstrated.
 In the final dealings the demand took on some animation and New York central and Union Pacific rose strongly. This evi- dence of the continuation of reaction Tn those important stocks had a cheering effect on the whole market and the closing was firm and quite active.
 The attraction of the Presidential in- auguration accounted for a number Of ab- sentees from the floor of the exchange ana had its effect on the shrinkage of business. But there is perceptible also a growing con servatism in the views as to the advisa- bility of further rise in prices from the level now current.
 ' The reflected influence from foreign mar kets was brighter this morning and there seemed less apprehension over the immedi- ate outlook in Russia. The traditional view of the expiration of Congress. especialy where measures viewed with disquietude have been undr consideration, was of some effect in the minds of professional traders: The announcement that settlement had been effected of the xport grain rate war was received with great satisfaction as the length to which this controversy was being drawn out threatened bad effects on rai- road earnings,
 The weakness of the bank statement seen- ed to have been accounted for and the strength of the market developed after it's appearance. The decline in the cash item was slightly more than expected but me loan expansion was regarded on the whole as moderate, considering the masnitude of some of the operations of this week and last which figure in the average. Bankers ex- press the opinion. however. that money rate may work higher from this time.
