MARKET STRONG
IN SPITE OF BEARS
Heavy Realizing Sales Fail
to Bring Reaction.
HILL STOCKS GOOD SHOWING
Gates Heavy Buyer in Steel--Largt
Crowd in Amalgamated
Copper.

The market continued strong after
the first hour. in spite OF the fact
that heavy realizing sales were in prog
ress all around the room since the
opening. The traders. too. because of
this heavy realizing, took the bear side
and played for a reaction, but the sup
ply from both sources was eagerly
taken and further gains were made in
the majority of the stocks traded in.
The tone of the stock market during
the first hour was decidedly strong, but
commission houses continued to COM
plain of lack of outside business.
and the assertion was made by many
brokers that the business so far was
either professional or highly manipula-
tive.
Union Pacific and the Hill stocks
show decided strength. Gates & Co.
were probably the heaviest buyers of
the Steels. II was current gossip that
March earnings were $4,000, 900, the
highest by far for that month in the
company's history. There was a large
crowd In Amalgamated, an increase in
the dividend rate being expected on
Thursday
Government bonds were unchanged

IS HELD EVERY DAY
Mrs. Endicott Has Institution Where
Those Who Have Passed Before
Learn Higher Life.

LONDON. April 1e.-Airs. Endicott has
a school for ghosts. Thsy come to her
to learn the things appe, aiming to the
higher life. Most of them ~hen they
passed over" were politicians and men
of affairs who had no me to devote to
matters concerning the occult world
This statement was made b Mrs
Endicott at one of the Sc les of occult
salons organized by Mrs Walker and
Miss O'Reilly at the Westminster
Palace Hotel. and the gathering there
last night was large one. Mrs. Endi-
colt was giving some explanations of
personal experiences and why houses
are haunted
On the latter point she takes the view
that it is because the ghosts are con-
sumed with burning love of those they
haunt and do not know that they
Brighten people
A serious warning was addressed by
her TO those who go hunting through
pedierees. Ii is a practice which brings
all manner OF ghosts about one. and she
mentioned the case of a woman who was
attended by "a big soIdier-looking man
called Robert" who would insist upor
his name being put In particular place
in the tree. With the assistance of Mrs
Endicott this was done. and he then
made a courtly bow and left
Another warning was against cutting
passages out OF books and placing them
under pillows. She did so, and was
Weakened in the night by the girl with
red eyes. who refused to so away. Mrs.
Endicott declared that around every
public house door she sees crowds OF
spirits, and that the room in the West
minister Palace Hotel where she was
speaking-it was that where The Free
Trade Unionist Club met-was full OF
ghosts

Insurance Stocks Also Came in for

Today's session Of the Washington

Casional intervals that any business is
produced in these stocks, as they are
strongly held by investors. and have
long since been removed from the do
main OF speculation. The prices in each
case was Of satisfactory character. and
showed a ontinuance of the high
opinion in which they have so long
been held.
Among the stocks that secured the
most attention Gas. Mergenthaler. and

registered better figures than has been
Noted for several days In Mergen-
thaler bidders were not satisfied with
quotation lots Of ten shares. but freely
bid for blocks of 100 at top prices.

was to secure one lot OF hfty shares.
The tone on Railway stocks was in
the way of improvement and prices on
Washington common advanced a half

was curtailed by the limited offerings

One plane Of intelligence may not
