PRICES JUMPED
At THE CLOSING
Not So Many Freight Cars Idle
and Coal Strike May
Be Avoided.

NEW YORK, March 19.--The remark
able feature OF to-day's stock market
was the entire confusion and uncer-
tainty of its action, reflection, TO
some extent at least, of the doubts felt
over the actual progress which mas
been made towards betterment of ar
fairs. The reduction yesterday In the
new Central dividend rate served as
a warning that. If improvement has
act In in the business affairs of the
eointry, there are consequences TO
stockholiers of the business contrac-
ton which are yet to be faced. To-day
much attention was paid to evidences
of necessary cuts in the distribution
or profits.
Some slight Improvement in prices of
seasoned high grade investment securl-
ties comes from the easing of money
rates. but capital still hesitates to en-
bark in new issues.
The prospect of dividend reductions
or railroad stock promises to affect re-
sources Of other companies which hold
their stocks in their treasures
Speculative sentiment is sensitive
stillt TO The news from Washington of
: the efforts to shape the legislative
program for the rest of the session OF
Congress, especially as to action on
tho sherman antitrust law
Further reduction in the number of
freight cars idle was noted with salts
faction, as was the reported good
chance for avoiding a strike in the
soft coal mines. Prices of stocks
showed some little gains at the end
of the day. but rise from the low
point of the day had occurred in the
last half hour of the trading.
