SHORTS HASTILY

Substantial Gains Are Made
in Prices.

NEW YORK, March 29-The unex-
pected serenity of the foreign markets
and the renewal of very definite reports
OF peace negotiations, together with
sharp advance in Americans at London,
Influenced a strong opening here. The
absence of trouble at the London set
tlement empha sized the significance of
the improvements in Americans there
There was hasty bidding in by shorts
and first prices showed substantial gains
in railroad and industrial stocks
A sensational break of point in Sugar
on small sales had no influence upon
the general list. The tone, however, is
not without some feverishnesS

London bought stocks in fully as large
volume this morning as were sold on

Of this stock shortly after the opening
for immediate delivery and it is sup
posed that this demand represented in
part the requirement of uptown bear
operators who sold the stock heavily
short yesterday Room traders sold the
market and offered stocks down shortly
after the opening on an idea that 1iqui-
dation could be forced again, as it was
yesterday Room traders were sellers
of Union Pacific. When they found that
stocks did not come out freely, they
quickly turned buyers.
Local operators attached Importance
to the fac. that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and
]. P Morgan & Co have joined in
financing the new issue of Pennsylva-
MIA bonds and they considered that the
conjunction of these firms indicated
strongly that there is a substantial
basis for reports of closer relations be-
tween New York Central and Union
Pacific.
There was little feature to the market
around the noon hour A trickie of
liquidation was met by buying for the
short account which maintained a fair
steadness IN tone to the list. The bear
operators were quiet and the market
took on a holiday character for the time
being.
