Invisible Firescreen.

Tae most attractive screen for an
open, fireplace that I ever saw was
simply strip Of wire mosquito netting,
fireplace opening, with a small brass
ring. fastened, by means Of fine wire
at the two upper corners. The rings
were slipped over two small tacks
driven into the wall or mantel at the
right height. The wire is so high that
no sparks can come over and yet there
is space above it to put on new wood
without touching the screen. The en-

all spoiled, as a foot or two away the
wire netting is Invisible.

New York, March 13-After a quiet and
practically featureless morning the cot

large diversion of this export traffic to
Gulf ports was also a feature of the
report which was calculated to help on
the strength of the southwestern rail-
roads. The speculation still reflected the
force of the supposition adopted last
week that a policy of more liberal divi-
dend disbursements on subsidiary stocks
dominated by the great system, is in con-
temptation. The buoyancy in the Van
derbilt and Pennsylvania groups was a
direct outcome of this conjectural devel-
opment Buying of stocks for foreign
account was helpful factor, although
early advices were less sanguine of the
approach of peace than was the case
last week. limitations of more hopeful
tenor on this subject were not generally
known in the latter reactionary temper
of the market. The confidence engender-
ed by the strong elements In the general
business and financial situation are UNI
doubtedly the sustaining factors In the
market, and the ground for the disregard
by the speculative element of the con-
slant exhortation towards caution and
restriction of buying which comes from
a large element OF conservative commits
sion houses in the Wall street district.
Warnings of this character, based on the
great rise which has already occurred IN
stocks. and the present high level of
prices. seem to have little force in face
of the unclouded prospect for business
and industrial. Frequent digestion of
profits by the board room operators is
the most notable effect of the cautionary
advice plentiful in the street. The proflt
taking which was constant today, made
a considerable inroad on the market dur
ing the afternoon, and the subsequent
rally did not recover all that was Yield
ed, but the closing was generally strong
and active.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$5,105,O00. United States bonds were all
unchanged on call.

FURTHER RISE IN
THE STOCK MARKET
Persistent Strength Seemed to
UnderIie Market

Products.
VERIFYING LOOKS ROSY

New York, March 13-The whipping up
OF the stock market on Saturday aroused
abundant expectations of a further rise
today. The opening course of prices was
in accordance with this expectation The
heavy selling to take profits which met
this rise was strictly according to estab-
hshed precedent. 1t was the subsequent
tendency of the market for which ex-
perienced operators watched with keen
attention TO estimate the tone. This later
tendency was confirmed by the persist
ent strength which underlies the stock
market, and offered a fresh surprise in
the absortive power of the speculation
and the unlimited confidence with which
buying follows prices to higher flights.
The usual weekly reviews of tariff con-
ditions by railroad officials served as
strong confederation of the confidence
which is felt in business conditions. A
very free movement of all grades of traf-
fie and especially of steel and iron pro-
ducts, and of higher grades of merchan-
disc, were marked features of the move
ment, and were cited as ground for the
faith expressed by railroad officials of
very prosperous conditions for an indefi-
mite period in the future Improved
weather conditions are helping out the
operating departments and facilitate the
movement of freight although the car
supply is still insufficient to accommo-
date any of the business offered. Large
railroad offerings are to be looked for in
consequence of the showing of expected
incoming reports. The determined ease
of the money market is the most import
ant fostering influence on the speculation.
The heavy volume of bank clearingg
which witnessed the trade activity in the
country, continued purchase of new rail-
road bond issues by banking houses and
the active demand for money for specu-
1ation are without any impf ession on the
money market.
The countrys domestic exports for
February showed a growth in corn exports
sufficient to overcome the falling off in
wheat and flour, leaving the low price
of cotton alone responsible for the de-
cline from last years level. The very
