LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON. March 1.-The fortnightly set
Element restricted business on the Stock
Exchange during the week, but toward the
close transactions broadened and prices
strengthened generally, closing with an
upward tendency. The passage Of the cur
rency bill in the United States Congress,
indicating a serious attempt to prevent
acute stringency, had a favorable effect
here. Although money was still difficult to
obtain, the outlook was considered brighter
and the recent buying of consols was said
to be in anticipation Of an early reduction
of the Bank of England's rate of discount.
The operations in other British securities,
especially home rails, created a healthier
position, of which investors took advan-
tage to increase their holdings at lower
levels.
In the foreign section interest centered in
Mexican rails, which were actively dealt
in on various rumors at advances of from
Ave to nine points. japanese honda after

ly on a sharp jump in the metal, while Rio
Tinto eclipsed previous records, closing at
1O7N, the bears being badly squeezed. -
Americans suffered from bear pressure
on the resumption Of the inquiry Of the in
terstate commerce commission into the
management of American railroads and
rumors that further issues of notes were
contemplated by various railways, but the
passage Of the currency bill checked the
downward tendency and with the small
account here satisfactorily arranged trad
ers operated more confidently and much of
the early loss disappeared.
Heaviness prevailed in the market today
owing to the uncertain movements in Wall
street and the anticipation of a poor bank
statement. The final prices showed loss
OF one to four points on the week, Missouri,
Kansas and Texas being, exceptionally, two
points dearer.
It Is anticipated that the Bank of Eng
land will get the bulk Of the 5000, 900 In
gold available next week.

MANCHESTER, England, March O.
Prices in the cloth market continued Arm,
with the average turnover at occasionally
higher prices. India supplied the bulk Of
the weeks orders. Bombay and Calcutta
taking light fabrics fairly WELL The China
business was not brisk and comprised shirt

South American trades were much quieter.
Prices for the better class of clothings
gradually hardened in sympathy with cot
ton, but heavy cloths were not much in
qured after and the manufacturers books
are still light.

PIERRE IS GROWING.
Much Construction Of Residences and
Public Buildings.

Much constructlon Of Residences and
Public Buildings.
The woes OF the house hunter In
Pierre are to be reduced as fast as the
contractors push their work. For
the last year the securing Of residence
property without an outright purchase
has been practically impossible. Al
ready this spring thirty residences are
under way, with contracts let for
enough more to reach over a hundred
for the summer. When the years work
is completed It will show a larger
growth in the way Of building In the
city than for many years.
Besides this private work there will
be $780, 900 spent at Pierre this year
in the way of public and railroad build
ings, the railroad having completed
plans for the expenditure of 100000
in that way, with a possible expendit-
ure of 5000 900 more on the state CAPT
tol. The school board also will be
compelled to build at least one, If not
two, new buildings this year,
