was considerable bidding for other local

forthcoming in any case, and orders
must wait until more stock is available.

NEW YORK. March THE bears
took a tug at their belts at the opening
of the market this morning. and pre-
pared for a hard tussle in the short
Saturday session, which they felt was
surely coming. Within fifteen minutes
they were on the run. frightened and
utterly democalized.
The market opened strong, in many
cases showing an improvement on the
closing prices OF yesterday. Immediate
~ buying power OF the best quality
showed Itself, and prices were sustained
consistently until y o'clock, with no
seJbacks, the whole list showing gains
from one TO i've points
The bears tried all the old tactics, to
no avail News came IN through the
usual channels that the Government at
Washington was Matching new schemes
TO worry corporations. News also came
came from Albany that the legislators
were coming TO an agreement there, but
the political cry in Wall Street has
spent its force and brokers paid no at
tention to the disquieting rumors. Bust
ness went on without a break, prices
going higher at almost every bid, with
nothing nervous or strained in the sit
UatiOn.

Hartman Is Happy.

Several brokers, in the past associated
with the Hartman interests, were
steady buyers. and it was said that Mr..
Hartman himself was in a happy and
joyous mood. after many days Of gloom
and silence.
AS might be expected under such cir
cumstances the Hartman railroad
shares were strong, and for the most
part the leaders in the rise. Reading,

and joined the group OF strongest stocks.
and no amount offered could feaze the
confident brokers who had switched 10
the bull side, many of them ip the last
tWenty-fOur hours.
One Of the last bitches in which the
shorts sought 70 hnC refuge was the
spreading OF the news that copper metal
was cheaper, and thar Amalgamated in
terests were bearing the market for
metal. in the hope Of making larger
sales TO recoup some of the losses 10 the
company in the support Of its securities

II was an ingenious rum0r, and was
injected INTO the days proceedings IN
a peculiarly crafty way, but IL fell fat,
The first answer TO the rUmor was o
rise in Amalgamated of nearly a point
on the sale of 5000 shares, and from
the moment the story was told on the
floor Amalgamated stinened at every
bid. The fact IS, we.l-infOrmed broker
knew the story was false. and had IT
more money today selling long stock
than il could hope to make in sis
months by increased sales OF metal on
lower basis.

Brokers Are Jubilant.

At the close of the market at noon
everybody was jubilant over the situa-
ton, and greater CneerfUlness relgned
IN Wall Street than has been seen there
since the opening Of Congress and the
reading Of President RooseveIts mes
sage
The obvious inference from the course
of the market for the past three days
is that the large interests are weary
of the dispirited conditions in the street,
and somewhat nervous about the con-
tinued drain Of stocks by small buyers
from New York. taking them out of the
hands Of the professionals, which leaves
them continually short for material with
which 20 manipulate the market. The
present movement, therefore, is one to
drive out the short interest and place
the market on a little higher level. with
the expectation Of some realizing sales
from small investors.
1t IS probable that the rise may con-
ttnue TO five or eight points more be-
fore the natural reaction sets IN, as
Il will after the present upward move
menJ, healthy as il is. and devoid Of
excitement as il is.

Once there was Il newspaper man
who came up into my country to write
up the way his syndicate thought it
ought to be His sombrcro was very
wide and rakishly tilted-away from
the sun. His shirt was open ut the
throat and decorated with 4 handkcr-
chief, but because he did not know
why cowboys wear handkcrchicfs
around then necks he wore it like a
girl ut picnic 1t was white silk and
became him vefy we'll There had not
been IN arrest made in Maverick for
nearly three years. but the syndicate
man had so much gun metal on him
that he fairly clanked. When he first
struck our town he saw an Indian. in
shirt sleeves and overalls, lcaning
against The ,loorsill Of a general store.
He was Johnny Dean, Il graduate Of
the Carson school. who played the cor
net and afterward organized a labor
strike among the Indians at the salt
works. The syndicate man clapped
him on the back and said:
Heap big Indian. come drink fire
water"
Dean looked him all over with the
gentle flicker of smile. 'Thank you. :"
he said. II never use alcoholic stimn-
lants" The interesting part of this
story is that it is Il two years peni-
tentiary offense to furnish liquor to In
