BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL

NEW YORK. March 20.-The stock
market has moved irregulariy. Business
continued largely professional and COW
ering of short contracts put out yester-
cay appeared TO be the principal in
fiuence of the dealings.
After an irregular and mixed opening.
the market developed moderate strength
and prices made gains ranging all the
way from Il to III points in the usually
active issues and to four points in
Anaconda.
The volume of business was small and
transactions were almost wholly be-
tween room traders. A number of these
traders covered their large fines put
out yesterday This covering was about
the only reason for the moderate gains
during the first hour Commission
houses did little. Western wire houses
were sellers. There was nothing in the
way OF news.
In Government bonds the new As were

Traders Get Busy With Good Invest

While the local stock market today
swca not of a character 10 produce
mi,Cu mental nervous excitement. there
were some features that showed "A good
undertone and willingness to take good
hold when prices had reached a point
attractive to the bargain hunter. This
was especially noticeable in Gas, Lans-
ton, and Washington Railway stock. AL
three of which were bought by the in
vestment element who were evidently
prepared TO extend their operations at
some length.
At the 60 level Gas stock met with es-
pecial favor. and was rapidly taken as
fast as II could be secured. Tine transac-
tions totaled 425 shAres and were fuited
only by the scarcity for what was con,
sidered as cheap stock" IS bi Is for l0J

at the wind-up.

p. m.-Whatever doubt there might
have been that yesterdays decline had
nothing TO do with the news was re-
moved by the course OF today's market.
1T is true that the settlement at Alge-
ciras met with a prompt response OF
rising prices on all the foreign markets.
and that this was followed by moderate
buying for European account on this
side But this was a development which
had been forecasted quite clearly yester-
day. and the prospect of which had en-
t!rely failed to strengthen the local Sc
curity dealings. The situation with re-
gard TO the coal miners disputes was,
of course, not changed by anything oc-
curing over night. Yet prices, starting
out around yesterdays final figure, be-
gan 10 rally Immediately and by the
end of the first hour had covered a very
fair part of yesterdays losses.
