KEsTERDAT,s STOCK MARKET.

Conviction of Presence of Protective

 All Held.
 New York, March 26.--To-day's real- izing sense, on the part of the bears, of the position in which they placed themselves yesterday by too needless sales of what they dad yet to secure for delivery, had the usual analogy which the experiences following a period of revels and stimulation bring. The bear party made a further drive against the market with the be- ginning of the dealings, and centered particularly savage attack on the cop pers. A further slump in the markets both for copper and tin in London sug- gested a repetition of yesterdays suc- cess in breaking the prices of those stocks.
 In seeking to take advantage of this opening break to secure the stocks they needed, it was disclosed to the bears that stocks offering were in scantier supply than yesterday, and that they were meeting with additional competi- ton in the buying. It was the feeling of the market, perceptible to the skill ed sense of the professional trader, which was the decisive factor in turn | ing prices upwards and starting the rush to cover by the bears. News to account for the turn was lacking when | it occurred, although some of the days later developments gave ground for soothing the fears of spectators. The most potential factor in the improve ment was the check to the fall in prices Itself. Rumors of the plans and the re- sources of organized support reached exaggerated proportions, in the same way that rumors of trouble were exag- gerated while prices were declining. The conviction of the presence of pro-
 tective forces in the market, however, had much to do with checking the de-

In the dozen or more active shares that sold at new low levels yesterday morning all but Rock Island and South ern Pacific were industrials. Amalga- mated and Araconda Copper, Pressed Steel, Sugar, United States Rubber and Steel common were among those that suffered most. The reason lies in the slump in copper and allied metals, and the feeling that industrial acticity must slow down if pressure against roads continues.

from the depression of Monday marked yesterdays trading in the stock mar ket. Although London prices were low CT yesterday morning, the New York exchange soon after the opening show ed much stronger tone than for some time past, and quotations advanced sharply on very heavy buying. The bears began to retreat on rumors that further government assistance for the money market was imminent, and when the formal announcement came from Washington that such assistance was to be given the shorts began to cover up their outstanding contracts. At the same time there was renewal of pur- chases for investment. The result was an upward turn to prices that was al- most as sensational as was the sharp decline of Monday. The trading was wild and excited as the bears sought to cover, and before noon stocks were sell ing at from 1 to points higher than the low points of the earlier trading.
 Accompanying the upward movement was an industriously circulated rumor that an enormous pool had been formed by the greatest banking houses in Wall street to support prices This report which was without confirmation, and which was rather deprecated by con- servative brokerage firms, made it ap- pear that $50,0O0OOO had been subscrib- ed by bankers to buy stocks with the object of putting stop to the recent precipitate declines. Nothing whatever developed to give substance to this sto- ry, but it was not without effect on the trading.
 Except for occasional recessions due to profit taking, the strong tone contin- ued to the close and the final prices throughout the list were at substantial advances from Mondays closing quota tions

NOTES.

It was apparent that some of the im- portant banking interests thought the time had come for them to show the country that they still had faith in American railroads and industrials. The understanding is that a conference was held Monday night where the Nor gan influences dominated, and that it was decided to buy securities that were down to a level returning better in- comes than were possible from any oth- CT source.

The late trading in stocks was much quieter, with prices receding consider ably from the top level shortly after midday. It was apparent that banking interests did not care to do anything to inflict stock loans at a time when they are pressed to secure funds for making the April payments. Financiers were cautioning brokers against too active speculation. It was evident that good deal of profit-taking was going on in the last hour.

They were just sitting down TO eat when
one Of the girls named Florence, sud

Look Girls, lookr'
Looking in the direction she pointed the
girls saw a large bull with great pointed
horns coming toward them. The girls
were very much frightened and started
running in every direction. The bull came
on till he came to where the carefully pre-
pared lunch had been spread and then
stopped and began to help himself This
gave the girls time to notify a man, who
succeeded in catching the bull. The girls
were now too thoroughly frightened to
stay longer, so they gathered their things

visit his uncle and aunt who lived on a
farm not far from forest. On the morn

for the forest, which was not far away.
When he came to the forest he had hardly
taken a dozen steps before he came upon
a beehive, and thinking 1t would be great
fun to bother the industrious little bees
he picked up a stone and threw it at the
hive. II knocked the hive over and out
came the bees, buzzing with anger at the
boy who had so rudely stopped their work.
Joe tried to brush the bees away, but in
spite of this they grew more angry, and

very excited, indeed, At the supper table
on that particular night Marjorie COM

thought it best for them to stay at home
But Marjorie was an unselhsh girl and
did not want to deprive the others OF their
pleasure, So she decided to stay at home
alone with Spitz her dog.
After they were all gone Marjorie made
herself comfortable on the lounge in the
dining room with Spite. She thought as
long as Spitz was with her no harm could
befall her. The gas was turned low and
Marjorie fell into doze and so did Spite
who had been romping all day with her
brothers
Suddenly she was awakened by stealthy
footsteps and she saw a man standing in
the doorway leading TO the kitchen. She
got so scared that she uttered a terrible
shrek. At the same moment Spite jumped
up and rushed at the man. A second later
a bullet came flying past Marjorie's head.
Then Spite attacked the man so furiously
that he dropped his revolver. While the
burglar was busy with the dog Marjorie

Centuries ago a noblemau named Charney
was arrested and sent to prison in a fortress
in southern France. He amused himself
by writing on the wall but that was soon
filed up. He then wrote on the table and
that was soon filled too. One day as he
was walking in the courtyard he saw the
earth moving. He stopped short. thinking
his friends were digging an underground
passage to get him out Looking more
closely he saw that II was a poor, slckly
looking plant trying to pierce the hard soil.
The next morning he looked at 1t, and the
light had already taken away its sickly
look and 1t was a nice plant. One day
his taller passed so near It that he was
afraid that he would crush It. So Charney
called attention TO the plant. The iailer
said that If he had not taken pains In
watering it the poor thing would have died.
Charney was amazed at his jailer's kind
ness, saying that when he was set free he
would repay him. Repay me-" said the
TALLER, II only did my duty" After a while
Charney was set free and he took home the
